I bought a piece of Mopani Driftwood, and I've boiled it at least 10 times. Tannins are still being released. I remember reading somewhere that seachem had a product that clears up your aquarium water from the tannins? What product is that?

ohhhh! i do believe they are buried too deep. thank you!!!

what is the crown??

I have a 10 gallon tank that I'm in a process of putting more plants in. I have eco-complete planted aquarium substrate and I use API Leaf Zone, API CO2 Booster and API Root Tabs. Any ideas how I can help them? They've been slowly just dying out and I'm at a loss of how to fix them. Pics are below.

I currently have a 10 gal planted aquarium. I am running a flourescent light setup as well. I'm thinking about switching to LED. Opinions on LED lighting? Does it make a difference with plants? Does it simply look nicer? ALL opinions welcome, please!

I used to add API Root Tabs to my aquarium and then I stopped for a while. I added some again yesterday and remembered why I stopped. My water is kinda cloudy, nothing horrible but still unattractive. Does anyone else have this issue? How to fix it?

Thank you so much, Reygan2!

I got a new betta fish and I am pretty sure he has velvet disease. He also has new black spots. How do I treat this? Would Bettafix by API cure it?

Someone I know knew someone else who could no longer take care of their betta. The conditions were awful. It was in a 1/2 Gallon bowl. I, of course, take it in. All I had time to do was run to the walmart and get a 5 gallon aquarium kit and a few basics. Mostly everything is the AquaCulture...

I have amazon swords in my aquarium. My guppies are always seen in then and nibbling at them. Do they eat plants? I've heard they eat the algae off them. Just not sure.

10 gallon tank. 2 guppies. Male I think. Its planted with driftwood.

I've had my 2 guppies together for about 6 months and they've always done well together. They are starting to show aggression towards each other. It started this morning and is continuing into the afternoon. Is this normal behavior?

What is an RO unit? and a TDS reader? Sounds very expensive.

Okay, thats the kinda of peat moss I was thinking it was. I just wasn't sure. Any idea where to get filter bags? I'm pretty new to all this.

With this peat moss, where can you buy it? And where do you put it in relation to the aquarium?

Okay! Thank you very much.

I just bought some driftwood! I'm soaking it to release the tannins right now. Hope that works.

Toolman, the information you gave me was useful. I leave my lights on FAR too long during the day and my tank is planted so I'm hoping the siesta will do wonders. I'm going to try the blackout! Thank you both!

I will have to try that out. Thank you.

My water hardness is at 300 ppm which concerns me because that is "very hard". What are the effects of hard water and how do I make it soft?

Okay! Thank you so much!!! I am definitely going to try that!

I'm not firmiliar with a "siesta". Is your 10 gallon on for 4 hours then off for 4 then back on again for 4?

*and off before I go to bed.

I turn my lights on when I wake up and before I go to bed at night. How long should it be kept on? or off? I had no idea.

I have a 10 gallon freshwater planted aquarium. I only have 2 guppies and 4 neon tetras so I don't believe I have overstocked my tank. I have the Aquaeon QuietFlow 10 Filter. Now, the problem I have been having is a green tint to my water? I do weekly water changes and I clean the inside glass...
