    Tiger lotus??

    I've had these two plants for a month or so now, and they're growing beautifully. I was wondering if this is tiger lotus or another type? It's not as dark, but it also has more of a red tinge than green tiger lotus. Any ideas??

    Looking for a semi-aquatic plant

    I just picked up fluval chi for next to nothing, and I'm looking for a plant that I could place at the top of the waterfall. Any suggestions? I currently have a small water sprite in there

    Need help with lighting!

    Ended up getting a 2x24w t5 ho fixture, it came with one 10000k daylight and one actinic, and I replaced the actinic with a 5000k flora sun bulb

    Light timer compatible with solarmax lights

    I recently picked up a solarmax t5 ho 230, and I love it! The only problem is, it has little moonlight LEDs That are supposed to run after you turn the main bulbs off. The only problem is, when hooked to my light timer, the circuit shuts off completely when I want the lights to turn off. Anyone...

    Lava Rock Volcano

    Duly noted. I didn't think of that. i'll have to get some more rounded rocks for some caves on the two sides of the tank, since i want to put this volcano in the dead center. It's part of my whole new setup...

    Lava Rock Volcano

    Hmm idk. I picked up a Hydor Ario 3 turbo air pump, it's actually pretty neat since it can be buried under the gravel. I mean, I dont care if a few bubbles get out the side, but I'm hoping that the majority of them go up through the opening in the top, it's just a matter of centering It and whatnot.

    Lava Rock Volcano

    I wanna try to make something that looks similar to a volcano for the centerpiece in my new tank to be. I want it to be about 15" high and have a diameter of around 6". I want a hole in the top since I'm putting an under-gravel air pump and a red LED light in the middle of it, and maybe some...

    Need help with lighting!

    So i'm starting a new tank which i plan on being heavily planted. However i'm at a standstill with the lighting. Its gonna be a 29g and i'm hoping to get some opinions on different types of fixtures and what my best option would be. The plants i plan on having need mostly low-medium light. I was...

    My new tank design plans (ideas and input please!)

    Update: for lighting I'm thinking two deep blue solarmax HE 130s (14w per bulb)

    My new tank design plans (ideas and input please!)

    Ooo I like those rainbowfish, think I might add some of them as well. I have about a dozen sparkling gourami in my tank, they love to hang out in my patch of water sprite, really cool looking fish imo

    My new tank design plans (ideas and input please!)

    So I've had this 29 gallon tank sitting in my room for months, and i'm finally going to do something with it. I formulated a plan for a FW tank and i'm starting to work on getting all the materials and whatnot. I'd like as much criticism and ideas as possible, so please help me out :D Here's...

    Ground cover

    Hair grass seems like an awesome idea! any idea how well it'll do in sand?
  15. Mikezilla89

    Ground cover

    I'm thinking about redoing my entire 29 gallon tank, and what I want is some type of ground cover that could spread fairly fast and look good ( maybe something grass-like?). I'm going to be using a layer of laterite and sand for the top substrate. lighting is about 3w per gallon and I will be...

    Filters and plant matter

    I have a 20 gallon tank that's heavily planted, along with a good amount of fish. Im running a marineland penguin 150 for the filter. The system is very well established, but the problem im having is there's way too much plant matter collecting on the pads ( I have 2 in the filter), and im also...

    My first discus

    Yeah I was thinking that or some live black worms. Also my tank isn't overpopulated, but busy most of the day. The discus have a little hiding place in some plants but I'm wondering of the hustle n bustle of my little tetras could stress them out at all

    My first discus

    We haven't gotten the ones at our store to eat either, not sure what the wholesaler was feeding them

    My first discus

    They've been in my tank for around a week now, they're doing ok but not eating, I've tried flakes, discus pellets, freeze dried and live brine shrimp, but no luck. Could they still be stressed out from the move?
  20. Mikezilla89

    My first discus

    They're about an inch and a half, I got rid of my big blue crayfish in exchange for a mexican dwarf, and I believe their max size is 2 or 3 inches, so I'm hoping that this one won't bother them

    My first discus

    So My boss at the pet store I work at finally decided to pick up some discus, and he offered them to me at wholesale price, I couldn't help but buy two. I left them at work for now to make sure my tank is ready for them first, I'm just curious as to what I need to know. I do know that they like...

    Possible piranha?

    Our boss picked up a fish recently, he saw it at our wholesaler and felt bad for the fish that it was eating so he bought it. But now that we look at it, it looks more and more like a juvi piranha. Can someone confirm this or let me know exactly what this is? Thanks!

    The fish id game!

    Hi! Need help yet again figuring out what kind of fish this is at work. Found it in our guppy tank terrorizing them. Dunno who had that bright idea. Anyways, I know it's not a flying fox nor is it an Apollo shark. As always any help is greatly appreciated.
