Well, the experiment is tanking hard. No pun intended. I can't seem to get the plants to grow, only the peace lily. All the others have dead or dying roots and the nitrates are out of control. I've lost one sailfin Molly and there's an outbreak of ich slowly spreading. This may have been a...

You can also mechanically remove it by wipin it away too. That'll only help in the short term though. They will go away eventually. Leaves falling off could be a sign of light or nutrient deficiency. I had that problem and it was light based.

Nice tank B, You're tank was a blueprint, along with others found on various others sites, for the idea for this. I wanted to keep the water level as high as possible in order to keep similar stocking levels. Even though theoretically you'd be able to control nitrates with the terrestrials...

Ya, I'm excited to see where this goes.

It looks like moss and dwarf hair grass. I think you'd need some pretty high light to keep the grass that low. The tree looks like its formed by just tying some moss to driftwood and letting it grow and trim. It'll be cool if you can do it.

Well, a members tank on here, BBradbury got me thinking that I wanted to add a new look to my tank. I took some plants from a local store which I believe should all be able to do this. Anyway, I outfitted my 55 with some eggcrate in order to give the plants a resting platform. From there I...

Thanks for looking too!

It is nice, I was surprised at the change even though I was the one doing the changes! The ever increasing amount of algae is worth noting also haha.

A brief look through the many stages this tank has taken.

I was wondering, since it seems that you don't want your dhg and hc mixing if you could try some of those plastic dividers as a blocker for the runners. I've seen a few other members post about using them as substrate control systems and such, but I feel like if they were firmly rooted all the...

I would go with option 3. I've got a group of rasboras in my tank and they're really nice to see move around I had a dwarf gourami pretty shy but very fun and interesting to watch. He developed a possible case of dgiv after a few months in my tank. Honey gouramis aren't the same spp I...

I just had some help over in the planted sub forum. I'm 95% confident that it is indeed a whisker shrimp of the macrobrachium family.

That's definitely it. Thanks for finding that picture for verification. I was just about to come on here and say I can see the long arms up front and have a little more faith in an identification, and here is your post with a pic. Mystery solved. Now to figure out how to make the little guy...

Thanks for the links sharpchick. The one thing that's not letting me say its just a behemoth of a ghost shrimp are these blue streaks. I'll try and get a better picture up later. Thanks for the help so far.

I went to Walmart yesterday and passed by their little fish section. Usually it's pretty dismal and poorly maintained but I like looking at the fish anyway. Well they do have a small tank for ghost shrimp, 38 c/shrimp. Well in the middle of this small mob of shrimp is a monster. He's...

Well all this talk got me interested so I found a bow and tried my hand. If this turns into anything like my other tanks I won't be able to stop messing with it for at least another week. It's simple and I'll probably change soon. Cool thread everyone.

Any thoughts on why it would just be the radican? That's the other confusing part, is that there's no munching on the other swords. Is the radican just softer or do my fish just don't like the look of it in the tank haha.

My eye was on the Pleco or the angel, but I've never seen any nibbling happening. I'm sure you're right though. I'll bump up the number of veggies that get fed in the tank. Thanks

Does anyone else have a problem with fish grazing on this type of sword? It seems like every time I get a new leaf growing it gets grazed off. I have two other swords that nobody messes with in the tank, I thought swords would be tough enough because the other two are doing well, but they...

No I haven't looked into mini canisters. I'll do some quick google searching. I've only looked at "normal" sized canisters.

I wasn't sure about the pump cause I hadn't found one that seemed small for a 10 gallon. If anyone has some suggestions for a pump I'd appreciate it. I thought about a bigger filter, but I just got the twenty going and I'm not quite able to fit another filter on there yet. Too many cats for an...

I've got some pretty substantial stem plants in my tanks and I think it's creating a lot of dead spots in my tank where gunk collects. Any suggestions on how to create more flow. The AC 20 was alright for awhile but it doesn't seem to have as much push right now. Thanks R

I'm currently running a two bulb shop t8 shop light over my 55 gallon right now. I think it'd be enough for your low light needs.
