MTS will keep your sand from packing. IMO they are a must for planted sand.

They are in balls because of the way the roll in the current. I have mine spread out and tied to driftwood. You would need alot to use as a carpet Amano has been doing it for a few years. The only problem is that the algae is verrryyy sloooww growing.

Excel is organic carbon.

My bad my 29g has power compacts not t5

I have a coralife 65w t5 on my 29g. Cost around $80 and grows my java fern and anubis nana;s just fine.

females will have a larger genital papilla than their male counterparts. Sexing will be alittle harder as juvies.

Convert it all to inches. 5'11" is just 71" I used SAE and metric in college and I do prefer mettic but the US is stuck on SAE

Im looking for an aquarium safe clear coat. Can I just use a clear Poly?

I disagree. CO2 directly effects the waters KH, thats why you test KH to check CO2 levels http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/CO2/kh-ph-co2-chart.html

nice tank. What are you using for lighting? side note: a black background would really bring out those plants.

I take it you want to start an african tank. If the reason you want holy rock is to buffer the water, dont waste your time. It doesnt dissolve fast enough to buffer your PWC's. You can always just throw a hunk of limestone in there.

Haha yea I often fall victem to mistaking post about liters/gallons. Im from the US and its hard being the only country that uses SAE

5 gallons isn't really a lot of swimming room for a decent shoal of tetras.

Running carbon will help with pollution but will also pull out your ferts. There really isn't much you can do about tannins but pwc's and time. Tannins aren't bad, I prefer them in my cichlid tank.

15w for a 40 gallon tank is not going to work. I have 65w on my 15g. I would upgrade atleast to a 96w t5. That will grow your anubis nicely.

I use it and love it! The best part is that you don't need to pre-rinse like other substrates. It also contains most the nutrients your rooted plants need.

Root tabs are fertilizer pellets you stick in the substrate for rooted plants. They are good for a few inch radius and last around a month.

I live in jersey but my house is a constant 72. During the day the tank runs warmer due to my light.

alittle info on your tank and plants

Its Walmart. Enough said.

Do you mean TDS? I have very soft water. But for the argument of a sustained tank you can just use ro/di EDIT: not to mention plants use Potassium, Phosphate, and Iron aka TDS
