The dwarf hair grass in my tank was growing beautifully... spreading more than i wanted it to... and then, out of the blue, I began to see lots of grass floating on top of the water, as though it had been selectively mowed. The floating shoots are a nice bright green. Each morning there is a...

Is this the infamous Cladophora algae?

I'm using Aquasoil as my substrate. It has very little mass and does not anchor plant roots as well as denser substrates (such as gravel or sand). I've planted large areas in my aquarium with HC. Will Ottos dig up (uproot) the HC as they scour the bottom for food?

Do they work in small tanks (mine is only 18 gallons)? Anyone out there have experience with them? I'm referring to this: Double Membrane Diffuser

I've read that Fissidens fontanus (aka Phoenix moss) is a slow growing native American moss, and that it is easy to maintain, but I have not been able to find a discussion of specific features about the moss (other than in ads). I'd like to know: 1. How slow does it grow compared to Java moss...

The pH in my tank varies from 7.6 (before lights and CO2 turn on) to 7.0 (after an hour or so of CO2). The RCS and fish seem happy and quite healthy - although it's been only a few days that they've had to endure the daily pH flux. Anyway, I was wondering how many of you run CO2 24/7 vs. how...

Greetings, I hadn't intended to start a journal when I decided to try my hand at a small planted aquarium, but I've enjoyed following the progress of several wonderful aquaria on this forum and I decided to share project with those of you who might enjoy seeing how this one develops. I have a...
