I got a few baby albino bristlenose plecos a few days ago. One of them has these light yellow spots all over it that seem to resemble warts. Today I noticed that some of them have some algae growing on them. Sorry these pictures aren't the best. Any ideas? The spots are the same color as the...

Sorry guys, life caught up with me and I haven't been on for almost a year (if you couldn't tell). I apologize for any PMs and posts I haven't responded to. For now, I won't be selling anything more. I do have a bunch of stuff that I may eventually end up selling, but I will post a new sale...

Nope, all work perfectly. The co2 tanks are empty, so they can be shipped. It's illegal to ship a substantial container of pressurized gas.

I'd have to measure. They're all a little differently shaped, but I purchased them from Airgas as 5lb co2 cylinders.

Here's a pic of the co2 tanks and regulators, since many are asking for them.

All PMs replied to for now. I can't ship the fish super soon because of summer heat and all. Local pickups are welcome, I'm in central Iowa.

Sold a Few Things, here's the updated list: In the past 2 years, I have not had enough time to care for all of my tanks, and I have had to downsize to only a few betta tanks. All my other tanks sit empty, and I have no use for a bunch of equipment. I'm going to college soon, so I would like to...

In the past 2 years, I have not had enough time to care for all of my tanks, and I have had to downsize to only a few betta tanks. All my other tanks sit empty, and I have no use for a bunch of equipment. I'm going to college soon, so I would like to get these out of my house. Note: Everything...

Amazing tank Brian, as always. You raised the bar even higher with it this time. I saw your video you uploaded on Youtube... was that an EBR I saw? Was that an old video, or did you get another one?

Thanks guys, I think I have a pretty good how-to to go off of now. And it's fine if you talk about arduino and stuff, tech is one of my other hobbies :cool: I will probably just get an IR transmitter (cheap) and see if it works. I don't know what kind of signal (I know it's IR, but I'm not sure...

I think I just thought of a cheap solution: I have an arduino, which is a programmable microcontroller board. It would be possible to make an entire tank controller out of it, but it would be difficult. Something easier would be to make an IR transmitter that automatically tells the lights to...

Update: 10 Days of Growth After just being planted: Today: There is noticeable growth, mainly in the HC.

Is that both the E series and the Sat+? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Yeah, the Apex Gold system is crazy expensive, but it comes with a lot of stuff. The one I have (Apex Jr.) costs around $220, but it just comes with the temp probe. If you want to control pH, you have to buy the ORP module ($100) and the pH probe ($30). So the total cost for my system is at...

Hmmm, that does sound like weak/bad stock/genes. The ones I got from aquabid did great. Yeah, I like their slender bodies and jagged fins.

Yeah, but it is only controllable via the E series remote. That's pretty much what my Sat+ was (just less bright).

The RCS I have had have always been hardy- I rarely ever have any die. People say that they don't do well with co2, though I've never tried it myself. It sounds mean, but maybe put some of the culls/ugly ones in there and see how they do :lol: The fish might eat them, I'm not sure. If you want...

Hopefully it will not run TouchWiz :) Hmmm, interesting. I hope it will be CAT5 compatible. That's how Apex controls LEDs. Sadly, I would have to buy the virtual dimming module to even be able to dim anything, and that costs another $100. So the total cost right now for my to have dimmable LEDs...

Looking good! Yeah, amanos might do the trick with that moss (though they might not like being directly under that light). It's almost as if your trip overseas never happened :) Are you going to get another EBR?

I configured my apex so that it the temp and ph are visible online to anyone. It also tells whether my equipment is on or off. Here's the link to view the status: Apex Status « Reeftronics I think after a few days it will start to show the temp and ph on a graph. It just needs to collect more...

I was using pump bottles. They didn't work that well (uneven amounts came out with each pump) and they always seemed to leak through the pump and make a mess.

Hello! I have about 20 lbs of seiryu stone that I got a while ago, but I decided that I don't have a use for it anymore. It's taking up valuable space right now, so it's got to go. Price is $2.80 per pound. Shipping is $12.50 if the amount you want fits in a medium flat rate box via USPS...

I got some nice new dosing bottles to use on my planted tanks. Should make it a lot faster and easier to dose.

I googled it and looks like it can grow emersed. I planted some trimmings in the back left.

I have some AR mini I could plant in there now, but not sure how it would grow emersed. Also not sure where I'd put it.
