Well I don't really care much about the way it looks for me. It's only a 1' deep storage container that I'm using to grow/sustain the hornwort for a while. It's in the garage so any heat that goes into the tank is going to be benificial anyway. Will it grow plants is all I've asked and it's the...

10% bleach would kill them even with just a quick dip? Ok then. What about the halogen light question? Is it any good for plants? I have no clue about the spectrum it puts out.

I just went out and gathered a bucketfull of hornwort from a nearby lake. That lake is simply infested with hornwort. At least I'm pretty darn sure it's hornwort. Anyway, I brought it home and realized that there is TONS of critters in it. Small snails, big snails, little worms, big and little...

Ohhh...ok. I just got that PO4 test kit yesterday so that's the first time I've tested it. So should I add more flourish? That's what I use for my trace. And I'm going to be moving in a little over a month so I'm gonna need to mostly tear down that tank anyway. Do you think I should take...

How do I tell the difference between a corm and a bulb? I'm starting to think that quite a few of my plants are actually aponogeton. They grew from some of those dry bulbs in packs they sell at places like PetsMart. But I should still have some swords in there. My lights are fairly new at about...

I know it doesn't make sense. So I'll try root tabs then. My water temp. is 78. It's just a basic community.

It's the whole shoplight fixture that's mounted there. Including the glossy white reflector that came with it. I know shoplights aren't the best aquarium lights...but it's the best I could do on my budget. And I am planning on getting root tabs. The nearest store that carries them is about 50...

My one little anubias plant's rhizome is above the gravel with the roots digging into the gravel. That makes sense on the melons. Should I uproot them a little and maybe trim the roots until I get tabs? Last I tried to reposition one of those melons, the roots weaved all over the tank under the...

Nobody can seem to tell me what's going on. I have a standard 55g tank with 160w of 6500k, T12 shop lights. I have I DIY co2 system at about 1bps, being completely dissolved. I'm adding the recomended amounts of dry kno3, kh2po4, a little extra iron and potassium with leaf zone, and flourish...

I just read that pitch on purigen and it says that it specifically removes nitrogen. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't nitrate one of the most important nutrients for plants?

Ok, It's starting to come together now. The site I ordered from was currently out of csm+b, so I just got a pound each of dry kno3 and kh2po4. And I got liquid Flourish Comprehensive from Petsmart. So far, I have not seen any improvement in the growth of my plants, but I have not seen any...

It's not really preventable. I get it on mine all the time. I wouldn't worry about it though, it's harmless to the fish. You should have some sort of co2 reactor to dissolve the co2 into the water better, though. Just an airstone is not very effective.

The EI method seems sooo wasteful though. But if that's what it takes....

I just recieved my kno3, kh2po4, and Seachem Flourish fertilizer and I need to know how much to add to the tank. I've searched around and all the sites and threads I've found are very confusing to me. This may be asking a lot, but if someone could just give me a dummy's version of dosing in...

That piece of wood in front makes a nice ramp with the arch in it. So It's very easy for them to get onto the land.

Sorry for the picture quality, I was using my cell phone to take them.

I recently aquired two fire-bellied toads from my sister-in-law's sister with almost all the equipment. But I had to put it all together and make it look good. I decided on siliconing some pieces of plaxiglass I had sitting around to the inside of the 10g tank to make a little less than half the...
