No c02 no fertz and all plants are growing and reproducing great, any algae I get my pleco makes quick work of it ;)

I have the 24" 48W fixture over my 29 and I find it works great for the price, extremely bright and is able to grow my mostly simple plants well. (Swords,Ludgwigia, and cabomba) I recommend them for the pricepoint they're at

Well the cabomba and jungle val was marked at petsmart, but the rest were all just grouped together for 5.99 thanks for the help though :)

Soft like modeling clay

So this is my first batch of plants a mix from petsmart and big als for under 14 dollars :D So I believe I have 1 stem of jungle val slightly melted but will hopefull recover, came with one runner, 2 stems of green cabomba I think, 3 stems of sword not sure which variety, and 6 stems of an...

As the title says could I use this type of clay under the roots of my sword cabomba and other rooted plants? Otherwise what type of clay should I use and where would I find it? I live in Canada btw :)

Thanks for the stocking I wanted lots of activity but the calm angel and rams to tie the tank together :) would there be any problems planting this tank?

Would this stocking be fine with a 72 gallon bowfront? Because my desk isn't quite 18 inches wide and the tank is 16 at the widest part so I may have found my perfect tank :) but I saw denison barbs are very expensive :$ I don't know if I have 240$ to spend on 6 fish lol

I might get a 75 though so then I might be slightly understocked

I know it would be slightly overstocked 2% according to aqadvisor but what do you think of -15 Rummynose Tetra -15 cardinal tetra -2 german blue ram -2 apistos -1angel -10 cory I might skip the cories though due to cost :$ would all these species be ok with plants? any suggestions for...

Edit* Skip the second option

Alternate option 75 gallon with one large cichlid and a school of 10-20 tiger barbs but do you know of any large cichlid jack dempsey, green terror, oscar etc that will be fine with plants?

I was thinking but give me your opinions on it :) 10-15 Rummynose 10-15 Cardinal or emperor Pair of german blue rams and maybe an angel what do you think?

From what I researched no matter what the tank is out on only the edges will touch the flat surface there is always an air pocket for support so manufacturers simply cut costs I guess by not having to fill out an entire metal stand. One more question would placing like that thick pink foam under...

Aha is there any way to test it? Like what about me and my dad both sitting on the desk along with my 29 gallon? Just for an estimate? Aha :p do you know of any aquarium 48 inches long and like 16 inches wide? Cause my desk is juuuuust short of 18 inches and as far as the desk to my testing so...

I live in a bungalow and plan to have either a 65 or 75 gallon aquarium in my bedroom it would be against a wall on a desk with two legs approximately 1 foot by 1 foot weight pretty evenly distributed, so my question will my floor support it? Do I have to worry about my desk falling through the...

Finally I got my parents to agree to let me to get a bigger tank :D. I've decided to get a 65 gallon,probably not till around christmas though :/ dimensions are 36 long 18 wide and 24 high I was going to get a 90 gallon but my parents are worried about it falling through the floor. As of now my...

Oh alright I had no idea about cleaning the housing aha newbie mistake, I'll make sure to do clean out the housing tomorrow, Thanks guys :)

I've never really had any complaints about the bio wheel filter except for this: after a waterchange when I fill my filter with water than plug it in, once the flow resumes it shoots a bunch of debris into my aquarium. And I was wondering if there are any solutions to this problem, or if any one...

Just my opinion but you don't need fertilizer or dirt if you just have low lighting and low light plants, such as java fern or java moss. I think planting an aquarium can be as simple or as challenging as you want it to be good luck :)

Just a heads up whether or not it matters the light only puts out 4.32 watts of usable energy

I changed all my sand at once which I later found out was a mistake but live and learn right, from recommendations on this site I used pool filter sand. I love the look of it and its large enough grain that it doesn't cloud up your water when its disturbed, make sure though if you replace all...

Before you make a decision you should let others chime in and research yourself, it should be fine though to just sit on the glass

Its not bad for either fish or plants. Unless they're specialized leds they won't go plants but they're not harmful to either fish or plants, they're just not optimum for plants. 35$ is about as cheap as its gonna get imo if you're thinking of growing plants but I'm no expert.

So use 10 gallons of water from your 29 gallon, then place your filter media, fish, plants into your 10 gallon. Remove almost all the water from your 29 gallon just leave a small layer on top of the substrate to save the BB. When you're driving put the aquarium in between your seats in the aisle...
