Here are some updated pics of my 29 gallon. I emptied out about 80% of the water today, turned it around, and spray painted the back. I think that it looks so much better. I also trimmed my hygrophila difformis and removed my microswords (the diatoms were too much for them). Here is a picture...

So I just started a new 10 gallon planted tank, and I decided I wanted to make my own lighting so here's what I did. . . List of materials: 1 long window planter box 2 plug to socket light adapters 2 15 watt CFL bulbs 1 extension cord with 3 sockets at the end 1 can of spray paint some...

Well, I've decided to do another tank. I have an abundance of plants, despite all of my problems that I talk your ears off with :D, and I want a place to put them all. Also, I am looking forward to making this tank with way more knowledge then I had with the 29 gallon. So I got a 10...

So I think I want to put a background on my already set up 29 gallon tank. I really like the look of paint and want to know if there is safe to paint the tank while it is set up. Any suggestions on how to do this or if it would or would not be a good idea?

I have noticed one of my goldfish hanging out in the back of the tank behind the plants recently. Today while cleaning my tank I noticed that he had a huge bump on one of his sides by the gills. Can anyone tell me what this is, how and if it can be treated, and is it contagious?

Here are some pics of my brown algae. I don't know if it is Diatoms or BBA. It keeps getting worse and I have tried everthing. I decreased my lighting from 13 hours to 10, I have been keeping my nutrients balanced ( about 1ppm Phosphates, 15 ppm Nitrates, about 20 ppm Potassium, and about 15 ppm...

I was looking at some glass/ceramic CO2 diffusers on ebay and I have some questions. Would the nano kind be OK to use in my 29 gallon tank? One of the items said for use up to 20 gallons and the other said up to 30 and they were both roughly the same size. Also, If I need a bigger one...

Quick question, How long does it take MTS to populate a tank? I got about 6 from a LFS for free a couple weeks ago and since I put them in the tank I have only seen one on the glass during the night. Thanks in advance!

So I corrected my nutrient problem, I am decreasing my lighting, and I just got a new kind of algae. It is brown algae and it is on the lower leaves of my wisteria, some of my gravel, and my microsword and java fern. I leave my lights on for about 12 hours a day. My nitrate levels were about...

So after fixing my nutrient problem I decide to treat my plants with Hydrogen peroxide to help kill the algae faster. My microswords are really covered in the stuff and I am afraid that the might die. Anyways, I used about 30 mL for my 29 gallon tank. I just dumped it in the water. My question...

So I got my ferts yesterday, and I started making my solutions. I read on a website that you can use tap water for these solutions, as long as the water does'nt contain any of the nutrients you are adding because it will throw off your percentages. So I tested my tap water for nitrate, and it...

So I just went out today and got some Epsom salt and I ordered some potassium nitrate, potassium phosphate, and potassium sulfate online from aquariumfertilizer.com (great store by the way). I have used an online calculator to make my Magnesium solution, and I will do the same for the other...

I am having an algae problem in my planted tank and I need some advice. Right now in the tank I have three fancy goldfish, about 12 to 20 ghost shrimp, and a rubber lip pleco. The tank is 29 gallons and it is heavily planted. Every week I dose about 5 ml of an iron fertilizer called Plant Gro...

Is this an MTS??? I saw it at my LFS and they gave it to me for free because they said the had tons of them. I've heard they are good algae eaters and are good for planted tanks. Do they reproduce by themselves or do you need more than one? Thanks!!

It's me again, and I'm sorry but I have more questions (LOL) Since I planted my tank and increased the lighting I have had a lot more algae build up. I have been having to wipe the glass every couple of days. I dose with an iron supplement and some flourish gravel fertilizers. Is this too...

I finally finished!! I went and picked up some more plants today. I got some micro sword, corkscrew val, and some red ludwiga, bannana plant, amazon sword, wisteria, anachris, java moss, and java fern. It looks awesome! Enjoy!

I have some pics of my 29 gallon planted tank that I want some opinions on. I just replaced the gravel and after several PWC the water is finallyclearing up. For my DIY lights I built a box and put a groove in the bottom with a table saw. I then put acrylic in the groove to protect the lights...

I just changed the gravel in my 29 gallon tank. I rinsed and cleaned a 50lb bag of gravel that I got from Home depot for hours and the water was pretty was running clear. I put it in my tank and filled it up, and now the water is all cloudy. I emptied some of the water out and out some more in...

I have been looking around on and found a lot of info on this topic, but everyones opinion seems to be split. Some say it is fine for Goldfish, and some say it isn't. I am trying to grow plants in my Goldfish aquarium and I am thinking about switching to sand because the plants will grow better...

I know that you shouldn't have an air pump running during the day because it removes CO2 from the water, but I was reading somewhere that you should turn one on at night to remove the extra CO2 that the plants produce during the night. Is this a good thing to do, or is it unnecessary? Thanks...

Hi, I have a quick question about lighting. I am trying to grow plants in my 29 gallon aquarium and I just built my self a new light fixture. It holds 4 20watt soft white flourescents made by Sylvania. Each bulb has a rating of 3000K and a CRI of 82. Is this too much light and are these bulbs...
