    Mikes 75g FW Journey.

    Absolutely love this light setting. Looks so fun for when people come over and you don't want the bright settings on.

    What kind of fish is this, and what is it's temperament?

    Thanks, everyone! Now time for some research on them! Looking for an exotic looking fish like this for my 75g

    What kind of fish is this, and what is it's temperament?

    Saw this and fell in love. Anyone know what it is and if it's community friendly? Plant friendly?

    Mikes 75g FW Journey.

    Just noticed this new growth on the tiger lotus, I believe? Not totally positive on this name because the LFS didn't know what it was called. Can't believe I'm just seeing this, because it looks like it's been there awhile. Even popped up on the other side of the crypts!

    Mikes 75g FW Journey.

    Wow, ok! Maybe I'll put some sort of barrier beneath the sand to keep it from spreading and confide it to one area. Think that would work? Not sure how deep these roots go or even how it propagates.

    ALREADY have a question, to whomever happens to read this.... How should I go about planting this mat? Purchased it today and am unsure as to whether it should be left alone or deconstructed. Thanks in advance!

    Who's that FRY?!?!

    Hi everyone! So my fry are finally large enough to photograph, though I'm still not sure what type of fry they are! Have been feeding the proper food for fry, but never knew what kind they were. They hitchhiked onto a plant that I purchased at a local fish store for $3.99- no one knew about the...

    Double the fixtures = double the par?

    hat a thing? If I were to have double of the same lighting fixture on a tank, would the PAR or general lighting intensity be greater? Would you be able to grow plants that require more light? Hoping someone experienced can answer! Thank you so much.

    What is on my sand?

    So this is a moderately planted tank that was set up on June 29th. What is on my sand? It's been ever so slowly spreading but then in some places it ignore completely. Diatoms? Maybe water flow is a cause? I have pretty good filtration and a 700GPH circulation pump. Thanks for the input! [emoji2]

    Care for Rainbow fry? Unknown type.

    So I purchased some plants in a tank that, at the LFS, had some rainbows in it. I assume that these are the offspring that were in eggs connected to the plants (unknowingly to myself) at the store! How do I care for These? They are in a 10g alone with only a few RCS.

    What is on or wrong with my crypts?

    Hi everyone! Fairly new tank (2.5ish weeks old) and just have plants, some snails, and ghost shrimp in it while it's cycling. This brown stuff is on a crypt leaf, slightly on (Not as bad) a few Rotala leaves, and a little brown sand mixed within the regular PFS. What kind of algae is this? If it...

    Lighting and filter for 55 gallon

    Hey! Depends on what light requirements the plants you'd like go grow need! The substrate you use is also very important in determining lighting systems as Well!

    Advice on stocking 25G

    Hi! I'd say that instead of having two types of schoolers, you could make it 7/8 of either the tetras or rasboras. This would mean you would have room for some bottom feeders like various Cory cats. I love ghost shrimp though. I'd warn against a pleco just because I always have been told they...

    Soil leeching into water column?

    Woke up today with the water a slight brown tint. Newly set up tank- in fact it was the first night. I have about an inch of sand capped over soil. Could the soil leak into the water column still to slightly tint it? I also have four large rocks from the backyard in there. I had boiled them to...
