Nope no tingle. I'm doing a 50% water change tonight and I'll see what happens after. Temperature, fish activity etc. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

No I don't see them out too much when the lights are off. I know about the Cory's I had a school of them and this one is the last of them. I will be getting more next time I come across them. I've been running tanks with co2 for 2 years now and these are the only ones not to come out from...

Full tank specs: 50% weekly water change with 50/50 RO water/tap water. EI dosing with 4 ml excel daily. Pressurized co2, drop checker bright green through the day, co2 off at night. Marine land magnum 220 canister filter. The old heater as described above. Aquatic life Dual 24" t5-ho light with...

Ammonia and nitrite should be 0 the tanks been running with fish and shrimp colony fully planted for 5 months now. Nitrates will be a little higher from ei dosing Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Current tank temp is 79 and when the probe is moved near the heater is goes up to 81 when the heater light is off. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'll hook up my temp probe and watch it this afternoon. My guess is 78-80 when I originally set it however I know it's been bumped and isn't set to that anymore. The heater has no temp indicator and is manually turned up until I see the light turn on Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Current tank: 20 long Current heater: Hagen (150 watt I think) that is extremely old. My fish seem stressed and never come out from hiding in the plants. I can physically see the hot water coming off the heater when it is on much like when you look across a field on a hot day and can see the...

After a few quick rinses is came out pretty clean, cleaner than flourite for sure. Pic is in a white styrofoam cup. . Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well I came across this interesting stuff at work called black earth. I'm going to see how it reacts with water and might mix it in with the flourite. It does break apart fairly easy though...

Well I've decided to convert my ten gallon tank of 10 months to a new 20 long. This is my first ever 20 long and am trying to keep it mostly budget friendly and a DIY project, however it is going to be high tech. I've attached some current pics of my 10 gal with some ugly floating pots (just for...

I've been off the forum for a while and decided I should get back on. I have a 10 gal mostly high tech setup running now and am wondering if I should tear it down and start fresh or keep it running and just change the scape up a bit. What do you all think? Scape ideas etc. Sent from my iPhone...

I would be more worried about the pictus cats than your stocking levels. I had one pictus cat and I bought 20 cardinal tetras, woke up the next day and I was down to 10 and noticed my pictus had a very large belly... But if you aren't worried about that then I think a school of 10-15 should be...

That's with the 50/50 mix and whatever the substrate buffers it down to, I've heard 6.5 ph max buffering with 100% RODI. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

As of now I have a kh of 3 gh of 5 and I haven't tested ph but it's definitely lower then 8. Would oh swings be an issue due to co2 in my case? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Picked up some dry ferts today both macro and micro for EI dosing. Is my idea of going 50/50 RO/tap water seem like a bad one? 8.3 ph with 14+ kh/gh seem a little high for my liking. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I feel like I am over thinking things: I am moving to a city where a lfs tested the water at ph:8.3 kh/gh:14 I think it was. I was planning to mix half and half tap water to RO. I know my shrimp can tolerate a variety of parameters but what about the plants I plan to use? Will injecting co2...

All good, thanks for all the replies so fast Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yep just googled it that looks like it, thanks Brian Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Just looked up Peruensis and that could be a possible match, although it looks a whole lot more red in google images as compared to my few stems Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm leaning towards dry ferts but I've never used them before, not really sure where to begin with them. All information is welcomed Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Submersed for the last 6 months my buddy grew it Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm thinking some sort of ludwigia maybe? Not sure, I picked it up from a buddy without getting a name Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well, I have been absent from the forum for quite some time and I'm ready to get back into it. Long story short I raised my girlfriends fry in a standard 10 gallon and I've decided now that the fry are gone I would like to try a medium to high tech nano shrimp build. I am moving back to...

perfect thank you, I do like all of the features the current has and for me that was the real feature that stood out.
