Wow I'm done with this.. Said what I too. lol.. It's no sweat off my back.

So the penny trick works. Only one problem, I have ghost shrimp in my tank. Won't they copper kill them as well?

I am aware. Just looking for advice and seems all you have to offer is criticism... Always. Im all for constructive criticism but you need to tone it down.. Not be such a "know it all". I read your post and sounds like your very knowledgeable but you need to brush upon your people skills. Maybe...

Yes daddy... I do a lot of maintenance on my tank and it shows in my fish and water quality. I also work 9.5 hrs a day 6 days a week and just had a baby on Friday.. Not every one can do daily water changes. I do like that hobbie and am not up to your criticism on every post.. With that said I...

That's what I posted in the original post... But I knew some one was going to get all crazy and tell me that... I also stated that I do like loaches and wouldn't mind them in my tank.. Sometimes people on this site need to chill and quit scolding people. Not like I said i was going to use them...

Yeah that's what I was told. They also are less aggressive and stay smaller... Hear say..

Yeah I meant to say vacuum the substrate every other day. That and the SOB is probably going to run up my nitrate level!

After a few weeks now I have been finding trumpet snails on my tank probably from some plants I bought. I try to hand pick them from the substrate, drift wood and rock but it's impossible to get them all. I just want to know which Loach would do a better job in helping the snail population. I...

Is it just me or do Sailfin Pleco create a lot poop? I had a little bit of alge on my tank walls. I went and got a Pleco to handle it and now my tank is littered with poop! I have to vacuum my tank substrate. Just looking for opinions from others that have Plecos.

I did 1tsp to every 5 gallons during my water changes, mixing it in the water as I do with the chlorine remover. I good stir and a few seconds and it should dissolve. As for it being less and less on the fish you need to vacuum it out of the gravel. I read that the temp speeds up the parasites...

It looks like ICH for sure. When I had it in my tank I took out all the media from my filter so that all it did was circulate the water. Adjusted my temp to 86. Added salt and a API ICH attack. Also did 25% water changes daily. Cleared up in about two weeks. If you can, you also can quarantine...

thats the bulb i have now. i just looked at the link. so im not going to worry about the light.. thanks for the advice

so i found some bulbs that will fit my fixture. they are "daylight" and says they are 8000k. will that do for my ferns? like i said before i am just using them for tank decor.. they dont need to grow super big and win any contest.

I jut looked at the bulb. All it says is "all-glass aquarium 15watt aquarium bulb"

I have 2 18" fluorescent in the hood. I wanted to put better bulbs in , but will the fixture it self have enough power?

Well I really can't afford a new light. If I could trust me I would. The light I have came with the tank. maybe I can find one. What is a good wattage? I don't want them to grow like crazy just enough to keep them happy and alive. Also I have seen many tanks with the fern planted in sand. I...

I got them cause many people told me they require low light. I just don't want them to die. I got the m cause I hate fake plastic plants.. What kind of fertilizer should I use. Liquid or substrate?

how do i get the food it the bowl once its at the bottom of the tank?

I am expecting some java fren in a few days. I was thinking of using seachem flourish tabs in my subtrate (river sand). just want to see if any one uses this stuff and it its any good. Thanks guys javav fern in a 60gl, 15watt light, 82f. discus/ram/tetra

Hello my planted tank pals... I Just ordered some java fern from a online dealer. I know it isnt the best way to get them but it was a deal. I hope it isnt going to cost me with a snail problem... cut to the question... I wanted to know if any of you have any pre-planting tricks to ridding...

my discus WILL NOT eat the NLS at all. For juvies (3'') which should i be feeding them? sinking/floating? size? I have the small pellets... maybe ill try starving them.

i just cured my disc of ich. i turned up my temp to 86, used a ich medication (kardon rid-ich) and did 15 gallon water changes every other day in my 60 gallon. took about 11 days but i did this for a lil over two weeks. for any infection i recommend seachem paragaurd in a quarantine tank. i...

I'm going to try wiping it off. I'm also in the market for a pleco to keep things a little cleaner.

I have some Anubis in my discus tank. It was looking really good for a while but now it has some brown algae on the leaves. The temp is around 85. Is that to hot for the plants? Is this causing it? :confused: How should I care for these plants? How can i get rid of the algae? -Thanks Plant Peeps!

I will check it out. Thanks for the advice.
