do i have to mix it all up in a separate container with water from the tank? And should i follow the dosage that's written on the bottle? I know i have to test the nitrate and phosphate first before adding that stuff, but how do i know how much i'm should put for the FE and K? I also bought...

I was thinking of buying the red sea test kits, but then i saw the hagen kits are a little less expensive, plus you can buy refills for them, about $1.89 per bottle, and theres 3 bottles you need for the Nitrate kit and phospate kit. so that's like $6 for the refill, instead of $7.79 BTW the...

Good idea or bad idea? will they destroy the plants? hopefully not because i'm planning to buy some cools ones. I'm only going to get the small ones that grow to a max size of 4". I'm going to put probably 5-6 of them in there.

I'm afraid this stuff might be reducing the light that's going in the tank. I tried scrubbing it off, and it doesn't work, i took a toothpick and tried scratching it off...well it works but it takes too long and i can't get all of it off. I was gonna remove the glass top since none of my fishes...

Would you need a CO2 system if your water has a PH of 6.9 and a KH of 7? Because when i look at those chart thingies, a ph of 6.9 and a Kh of 7 is already about 20-25+ ppm. :?

I have 2 bunches of parrot's feather in my 2wpg tank and they're pearling like theres no tomorrow, but the bottom leaves are turning redish brown :( When i got them 2 days ago they were all green, now i think the plants are dieing, or is this normal for newly planted plants? BTW parrot's...
