hmm, ok. It just seems weird because I hear hornwort and java moss are easy to care for.

It has a plant gro bulb and 10,000k bulb. I dose regularly with flourish and excel. My hornwort and java moss seems to turn yellow and grow slowly but my recently purchased water sprite shows good growth. Should I replace it with my 30" coralife 2x 18w t5 fixture?

Oops why did I say hinge.. I meant just the handle with the sticker between it and the glass. Ok, I'll try to remove it with a razor blade.

Is it possible to remove the thick white sticker and handle from the glass without potentially shattering the glass? I am very irritated that the handle is poorly placed and wish it could just be removed... :banghead:

I do not think that will be a problem as I put a lot of my filter floss from my established tank into his filter (which is rated for 20-30 gallons.)

My father has taken interest in buying an aquarium after watching me raise fish for a while now and today he bought two tiger oscars in a tiny 10 gallon tank :nono:. Of course he wasn't convinced and is reluctant to buying an appropriate tank until the oscars grew considerably(they look like...

Yes I believe that the plant is anacharis because it was labeled like that at petco. But I do have suspicions because the anacharis I see online look much more thicker and lusher. The plant I own doesn't seem to have grown much (most of it seemed to have died when I bought it but it grew back...

10,000k I believe,the zoo med t5ho ones Product Details

Yes I plan to upgrade to a 2x 24w hopefully soon. What kinds of liquid fertilizers are best?

Is the surface plant in this picture hornwort? http://postimage.org/image/1bvwqdyc/ Also, this plant, which I believe to be a egeria densa is not seeing much growth in the past few weeks... should I apply fertilizer? And what kind? http://postimage.org/image/1bnn1nhg/ These plants (along...

After 1 dosage in several hours I see that all of the cottony stuff disappeared. They look normal now. This stuff is great :)

PH is 7.2, ammonia and nitrites are always at 0 (used API test kits.) Temperature is at 78 degrees. I change about 25% every 2 days. Tank was set up for a month. (with a filter used in a previous aquarium, about 6 months old.) I am currently using pimafix. :s

After I bought my albino cories, I noticed little white fibers (like cotton)on their fins. After a few days it seems to have gotten bigger and now one of my cories is going up and down in 1 corner of of the tank near the surface. I suspect that it might be a fungal infection or something but im...

I've set up my 20 gallon long tank with a pearl gourami in it for about 3 weeks now. Today I picked up 4 albino corys and it seems the pearl attacks them whenever it sees them. Its been going on for an hour now but I closed the lights now and moved the filter to the middle so that it makes a...

Alright, I got my lighting fixture :cool: But now I need to find another bulb to replace the acetic one right? On the label it says f18 t5 bp and is 30" long (actually 28.1") so should I just search for this product found here: Oceanic Systems | Products | 6,700K T5 Fluorescent Lamps All 30"...

I'm going to return the hood I guess, completely changed my mind :D. I'll get the 30" aqualight t-5 double strip and a versa top instead because of the width issue. I'd only spend 20 bucks more. I didn't want the versa top before because it would irritate me to see 2 strip lights on it, but...

Double Bulb Aqueon Striplights | PetSolutions would this fit? It is by the same brand. I hope the width is the same! Thanks by the way you guys are really helpful ;) edit: I might reconsider now and get that 50 dollar one now :o

Er my tank is 30" long (20 gallon long) but the tube in my lighting fixture is only 24" long -edit- The hood and light reflector arent really attached to each other. You just plop the strip light ontop of the see through section of the hood. Is the double strip light the same size as a single...

Alright, as my last resistance against buying a versa top, is a double tube strip light the same size as a single tube? Perhaps I can invest in one of those instead since I dont like the look of the versa top. :(

I dont really understand what ballasts are but you are saying I cant purchase and install a tube that has higher wattage?

Aw.. I will have to invest in a versa top soon then. :( Is it not possible to put a higher watt bulb?

Alright, its just my java ferns in my 10 gallon tank with a 8000k 14w tube never really grew :( I was wondering if it was the light but it could be something else i guess?

I recently purchased a 30" deluxe full hood from the aqueon brand from here: Aqueon Deluxe Full Fluorescent Black Aquarium Hoods at PETCO for my 20 gallon tank. It fits snugly but I want to replace the tube it comes with because I want to grow plants. The tube it comes with is a rapid start 17W...
