Hey guys I have a 30 gal. I started off with low tec plants and light. Loved it so I upgraded to med/high tec. Keep all the same plants and got some that needed the light and fert of med tec. I upped my fert and co2. For the new system and 4 months later all the low tec plants have pretty much...

air stones affect excel very little to not at all. dose recommended amount and slowly go up if you want/need. just plants you get more leeway. watch fish for signs of over dosing. hard/fast breathing, lofting to one side, no appetite, etc... its a slow death vs co2 suffocation. I have not found...

Add some old media into new filter. Run both for couple weeks. That will drop the odds of a cycle Sent from my LG-E980 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey guys I have a question about liquid carbon. I have a 30 gal medium planted medium light. upgraded to a proper LED light for the plants. And now I'm curious I fixed the light and went from low light to med light. Do I need to increase dosage for more light? And is it possible to over dose and...

Only when filter was off and I left off till they were done. He def was not laying eggs but didn't see any white out of it either. Could have been that many eggs I lost count after 300.I have not had to treat tank for anything but dechlorinate And thanks I'll read the thread soon Sent from my...

Hey trkchezz I just thought about it today topping off the tank. And thought you might wana know but you might have some really bad evaporation with a sump. I keep my house at 68° year round and the tank at 78°-80°. I lose an easy gallon of water ever 48 hours to evap. The up side i can do a...

Wasn't trying to breed them. Just happened. The silver I got my wife for her mothers death.. The marble I got her for Valentine's day. Tryed in the same tank but did not go well. Silver got territorial in the tank by her self for the 3 months. So I put them in 2 ten gal tanks side by side for 2...

Silver angle is the female forsure. Watched her lay them and looks like a little marshmallow (pencil eraser). Marble kinda like a really dull pencil instead of sharp/pointed. He always followed behind her and looked like he was doing his duty. Have had both for over a year. Plano the marble is 3...

Top pic is Clara. female. Second pic is plano. male in question. I can't tell maybe im looking to close but look the same to me and wife. so I looked at their private parts and his it triangled while hers is rounded. Looks like a little marshmallow Sent from my LG-E980 using Aquarium Advice...

I can try and put pictures up later tonight if they'll let me. I know one is the girl watched her lay them. The guy looks like a guys part but never gave a good enough look. He'll follow right behind her Sent from my LG-E980 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Kinda what I was thinking Im going to let him heal and try again if its good its good. If not he'll have a new new home in the 30 Sent from my LG-E980 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hi guys I have a pair of angels that I have had for little over a year. They just started breeding 5 months ago. They have always gotten along just your typical chasing and sparing and showing dominance act. They put batches of eggs for 3 months none of them ever made it (not fertilized)...

Water sprite is the worst. They leave moss alone though. My pleco likes nothing but moss but keeps it trimmed nice. That's the thinking of a shrimp tank. More less a refuge for the plants and food source via shrimp for my Senegal and armored bichir to eat. Why pay for food when I can raise my...

Wow I havnt had to trim any of my plants yet and they are on a 14 hr/day full on and 10 hr 15% power on just white LED strips and the fancy goldfish I have completely destroy 60% of my plants getting ready to move them to a fake plant tank Sent from my LG-E980 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Little bit of trial and error. Its pretty hard to screw up just leave an inch or so between top baffle and top of tank for play room. Water always trys to level its self. Any other ?'s or ideas stick them up others will pipe in later hopefully with more ideas for you Sent from my LG-E980 using...

Not a problem here's my sump for reference. Sorry for the mess and quality this was design and test phase. Gravel is my bio media and mechanical cleaning with some floss just to make sure. Then into refuge. Bubble trap. Water bridge (3 3/4 PVC Cuz I didn't want to drill tanks) then into return...

Sounds like mine diff snails though. I was thinkg of running 14-16 hr/day might need to dial it back for algae boom though might not be to bad with only ten gal. What kind of lighting are you running Sent from my LG-E980 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

May I suggest a algae scrubber/refuge. Keeps cost down. Just graven and rocks to tie plants down. Then when you need to trim plants in ref. You can move clippings to main to fill in more spots or vis versa. I run mine opposite of main tank lighting to control PH better and to not deal with co2...

Why buy a sump lots of ppl have when you can custom make it to your own likes. I custom made a 18 gal sump for a 55 gal tank. Looks good only input I got is like stated above need a bigger pump chamber. It generally the largest chamber in sump. And what kind of bio media you planning on using...

Nice tank to btw. Second pic looks kinda what going after a partial jungle theme/scape
