Just rescued this guy today from a vase at a friend's house, apparently he was purchased from Wal-Mart like a week ago and after my buddy did some research on them, he realized he was mistreating Damo(cles). When I went over today, I told him about my new 5 gallon and how I was going to get a...

Hey everybody, checking in about my 5 gallon tank that I set up a couple of weeks ago and I'm very undecided about what to put into this bad boy! Before we get into some stuff, I seem to have a decent snail issue at this point, as well as what looks like 2 different kinds of microscopic white...

So I have only been able to find 1 article about a person using azomite in their planted tank as a micro and macro supplement, with apparently NO issues with shrimp, snails, or plants deaths. His plants did start dying when he overdosed them, but his dose was about 1/2 a teaspoon per 50 gallons...

So this system seems like a pretty primitive design. I'm thinking I might be able to improve it though, by adding a drop checker, CO2 grade tubing, and a micro diffuser (glass). If I'm not mistaken, this will allow me to set the system for 1 dps or less based on opening the regulator valve...

I need someone with more experience with planted tanks to give me some advice about whether or not to add CO2 to my tank. I currently have narrow leaf java ferns, hornwort, java moss and microswords. Its a 5 gallon tank with 1 10w 5400k and I'm mainly concerned for the health of the plants so...

Anyone ever experiment with different photoperiods? I have 1 5400k 10w light on a 5 gallon planted tank. I run my light from 12p to 8p and thus far haven't had any algae issues, and I've had pretty steady and healthy plant growth so far. I have java fern and moss as well as hornwort and...

Reykur here, I recently set up a 5 gallon planted tank with the intention of adding RCS, but now I've been thinking of getting a betta instead. My question is about decent tank mates for the betta in a 5 gallon planted tank. I would like algae eaters if possible but I am also looking for any...

Look, I'm gonna be real here everyone, I'm hard up on cash, but I am looking to find some aquatic plants either for sale or if a generous person is willing to help someone trying to get into this hobby by giving them to me, thatd be awesome too. I'm in the mt Shasta area. I'm pretty open about...

Need a bit of advice on how I should properly cycle given my situation. So I bought a marina 5 gallon led kit on Amazon which should arrive within the next 5 days, assuming it comes intact and it holds water when it arrives, I was wondering how to cycle a tank in preparation for shrimp, without...

So I'm wondering if this site is legit, I ordered some plants from them 3 days ago and am kind of worried about whether they are a legit site that will send me plants. 4 days ago I emailed them asking them if they would ship legal plants to CA residents, no response yet. 3 days ago I ordered 4...

Hello, I'm Reykur, I just joined this forum not long ago because I need some advice for my DIY 5 gallon NPT. I got a Marina 5 gallon LED kit, ordered a new hood with 6500k day style light, fluval shrimp and plant stratum (as I plan on putting shrimp in once I've gotten some more funds to put...

Hey folks, I'm Reykur, a beginner hobbyist interested in shrimps and NPT, as well as aquascaping. I've recently purchased a 5 gallon tank (Marina 5 gallon kit and some accessories like 50w heater, thermometer, fluval shrimp substrate, live plant keeping tools etc.) in the hopes of setting up a...
