Full tank pics here

thanks everyone, i'm going to keep trying and going to post more when i have results. hopefully i'll end my skid.

more pics my next solution was to upgrade my lights from ahsupply.com my dosing schedule is as follows: Day 1 after 50% water change KN03 3/4 tsp ---- 13ppm KH2p04 .10 tsp ---- 1.71ppm K2S04 1 tsp ---- 18 ppm around CaCO3 1 tsp ---- 2.5 ppm Espom salt 1tsp ----- 2.5 ppm Plantex plus boron +...

i've done almost everything, i'm still lost my plants seem to die off on the bottom, and some of the leafs are bent... showing deformity. Those red spot algae is still developing. I'm cranking up my Co2 as high as possible, according to the kh/co2 chart it is 22ppm. My tank is a 50 gallon tank...

thanks anyway greenmagi, i hate test kits grr because i broke almost all of the glass tubes and can't seem to find anywhere that sales them individually. someone once told me not to look at numbers but at the plant itself... maybe that's referring to the EI method. yea this calculator seems...

one question... does the amount of water i use to mix dry fertilizer affect the results? o_O that's an expensive kit

is there a way to measure ppm?

since it is nearly impossible to measure K, what indicates that potassium or boron is required?

their manifolds costs $80 8O how about the JBJ replacement bubble counter... http://www.aquariumplants.com/cgi-bin/cart/pr431.html

i can't find a milwaukee bubble counter alone anywhere :| Yea i agree its not completely nescessary, i have markings to help me determine how many bubbles comes out but the CO2 tube attaching to the regulator often slips out and i lose alot of Co2 like that. Is there a better way to do this?

my triple tube only has one tube in it, after hearing a buzzing sound coming from one, i switched it to another and it was gone. Now i hear it from the power compact light. Can this be because it is closely exposed to water? :( i hope its not broken

on the way getting CO2 refilled, the bubble counter cracked on a sharp turn. I was wondering which bubble counter would fit on it the milwaukee regulator. Aquamedic? Red sea? The guys at bigals said to ask the manufacturer, but i have no idea what their official website is. I seek the wisdom...

thanks seems like a planted tank isn't ideal for my livebearers because the CO2 keeps the water a little below 7.0 pH and that's what some of my fish and all my plants prefer... i can't defintely add salt to the tank. The female guppies seems to do when no males are present, is that norma? 8O...

i've been having livebearers for half a year now, and they die after a month! all of them =/. Either from fungus or internal infections. Yet my other fish in there are very healthy. I ahve 6 glass catfish, 3 SAE, 8 cardinals, 7 otos, 3 swordtails, 3 ballon mollies. My tank is a 50 gallon planted...

ok this is going to be quite tough to explain but i'll give it a shot this reactor is a spiral structured reactor where CO2 is entered in the middle chamber onto the top of the spiral. There it gets aired out by the powerhead. My problem is that after awhile, i don't see the bubbles spiral...

hi, my tank has been running wonderfully for quite some time now and i do regular 25% water change weekly. its a 50 gallon tank heavily planted i think. the pictures are in my gallery :D . Anyways, i've started to notice these black algae, or maybe withering on the edge of some plants not all...

i've been fighting bacterial disease for well over 2 months in my freshwater planted tank. I made a mistake of purchasing 3 guppies in an auction which were probably infected. Anyways, after the dust settled, i'm still left with this strange disease that causes a reddness on my fish's stomach...

maybe a better question for me is to start with how exactly should shrimps be shipped? I have an idea of putting them in a box with styrofoam to hold the fish bag in place. Place only about 6 per bag and ship it on a next day delivery. Of course labeling "live animal" on the box.

i want to send shrimps to a friend and was wondering where can i buy fish shipping supplies online. I might send more in the future. Thanks in advance :D

are those stargrass in the back? i've always had hard time with them :( but beautiful tank 8O i'm jealous too

I bought this plant as a bulb, and now it has been growing leafs that are thinner than paper. Is it calcium i'm lacking? because my test kit are not able to read gH for some odd reason. I have one of those taverine rock that should release calcium carbonate and epsom salt which i dose with 1 tsp...

denser sponge.... hmm that must be it. My water parameters are fine. pH 6.6 kH 2 degree. nitrate 10 ppm phophate at 1ppm i flushed out the intake tube and it was full of sludgy trash. Do they turn into nitrate and harm the tank?

i've seen so many planted tank that are so clear and beautiful with oxygen on the surface. My media filters everything else... but my 50 gallon tank are filled with debris flowing around, they look like tiny oxygen bubbles but they don't disappear! I have a canister filter with a intake tube on...
