yes it is absolutely insane growth. I can't imagine the amount of growth you folks get with more lighting and CO2 injection. We are seeing a new leaf shooting up from the base at a rate of about 1/week. It has also put up 5 flower pods, sadly only 1 of those actually bloomed. The Annubis have...

Updated Pictures I thought I might update this thread with some more pictures, and data. First, thanks to all the great information I found on this site, I was able to overdrive my lights, and get my light into the 2watt/gallon area, and here are the results. Here are a couple of photos taken...

Ok so I have one of these filters running on my 75Gallon tank. JBJ Nano Cubes Chillers and Lighting Now I have it set up with the spray bar running vertically in the corner using only 1 of the 2 spray bar sections, angled towards the front glass. Here's my problem. The Fluval I have on my...

Well the swordtails are Mom and single surviving fry...So it should be some time before breeding is an issue. The Neons have been upped to a total of 7. The sharks are here allready, Might have to get another Bala, and another red tail, as everything I've been able to find says either get 1 red...

Each of the anubis...annubi (plural) show a brand new sprout coming up from the center. This is a good sign me thinks, only a week, and I allready have new growth showing on 2/3 plants. I still can't find an lfs with dwarf tears or ground clover...

I'm going to assume that after a week with no replies that I must have done it all perfectly.

Here is a picture of my 75 gallon tank, after it is mostly set up. Most of the plants are real (except the one front right, and middle far left). The plants are new, just a couple of days in the tank. I'm waiting for either some dwarf tears, or some ground clover to come in a t the LFS, as I...

Ok so I have a green spotted puffer, otherwise known as Tetraodon nigroviridis. I am finding a good deal of conflicting material as to whether or not this fish is indeed brackish. This source, says its not. http://puffernet.tripod.com/confusion.html and this site, can't seem to make up...

Thanks for the comments. Yes I am aware that crabs need access to the air, which is why I have the tank filled to about 3-4 inches from the top, and decor that pokes out above the water allowing the crabs a place to "sunbathe" I don't know why I hadn't thought of alternating types of food with...

I think I am overfeeding, I just fed them and watched the amount of food consumed. I think tomorrow I will try feeding about 1/2 what I am feeding now and go from there.

To respond to a few questions; Fish were added in the following order, with estimated times between stocking Pleco/Goldfish October 4 Mystery snails about 2 weeks later mystery snails eaten by goldfish (koi variety) sometime in December/January timeframe. Goldfish given to a Koi pond...

I am pretty sure the tank has been cycled. I set up a 5 gallon back in October with a goldfish from the local walmart. Then started doing reading. I ended up having to do almost daily water changes in the 5 gallon to keep everything under control until it cycled completely. After finding a new...
