Wow, that's a lot of light time. What do I do if it heats up the water? Add ice cubes in a ziplock bag?

Oh, that really sucks :( I had 2 clown loaches in this tank before and they lasted 3 years and seemed very happy. I guess I'll look for something else this time around. How many hours of light a day does the java moss need?

Okay, so maybe Java Moss might be my best option for the grassy looking terrain under my current lighting condition? I ran into this article about Riccia (seems like I might not have enough light for that one either) and I was wondering if that wire mesh with netting over it would be the right...

So you think I could grow the LILAEOPSIS BRASILIENSIS or the JAVA MOSS? I think they both look pretty good :) A couple more questions.. 1- To keep them more grass-like, would I Just have to trim them with scissors? 2- How many hours of light do they need? I'm afraid of warming up the water...

I just measured the bulb, seems to be 17" but the watts were not mentioned I'm looking for something really grassy and short that covers the bottom like a carpet.

You're right, I really do like the LILAEOPSIS BRASILIENSIS. Some of the ones on my search looked a little long but I guess I could trim them shorter? I've never had live plants so I'll check out the stickies you guys mentioned. As for the lighting, I tried looking up the watts but the box...

I am setting up a 10 gallon tank and although I have already purchased some artificial plants, I really love the grassy looking plants that I've been seeing on photos. I have a fluorescent light for the tank and it is currently cycling (one week) with fish - I didn't know it was bad for them...

I finally set up my freshwater aquarium about 4 days ago and I took a water sample to the pet store. The guy there said that the PH level is too high and I should wait a couple days before getting fish. He also said that I should never change the tank's water out completely. I always used to...

Thanks for the comments! Unfortunately the plants aren't real at this point. I was afraid of getting real plants because a few years ago a fish that I bough chewed up my plants - big mess! 8O I'm also afraid to leave the light on because my house is already hot and I think it'll make the water...

My 10 gallon tank has been empty for a year! Just cleaned it out and replaced the filter, the lid, plants, and ornament. Not sure about the ornament placement and breeding grass.. so any suggestions are welcome! (I'm not even sure if I'll keep the ornament or change it because I read a review...

I have a 10 gallon tank and no room in the back for one of those outside filters (unless you guys can point me to one that I can hang on the side of the tank - I'm also still looking for a lid/light so I'd really appreciate any ideas to make that work). My question is what's the best internal...

Hey, I have a 10-gallon tank and the only fish I have right now are two clown loaches.. Could I get more fish? If so, what fish would you guys recommend? Thanks!
