I was trying to find a phone today and randomly popped into the free section. Found gold! Cycling now and will stock with a school of cardinal tetras and maybe some golden gourami.

I switched over to the Walstad method, still in the process of picking out new plants but I know I want a patch of dwarf hairgrass. I need to upgrade my lights too, they seem to be a bit on the weak side. =/ I think my cat wants to have a snack. lol

I just switched over to soil and gravel last night. I found pockets of dead smelly grey sand at the bottom. I had stirred it a few times over the past month but it still happened. I'm guessing if you don't put too much sand it will be ok.

Are you sure the barrels were fresh and never used to store any whiskey? Maybe there's residual stuff in there generating co2. Even if it holds water I would line that with the rubber sealant they use for plywood tanks.

I bought some of those random bulbs at Petco a month ago and a few of them are growing like crazy in the past few days. I'm not sure what they are though because the package didn't show a list. The first 2 pics are the big plant and the flower that is growing at the end of the stem, it's...

Is it possible to use regular potting soil if you don't intend on having any fish or other animals in there?

My brother found some wood a few miles up from the falls. Here it is nice and debarked.

Yes, that's exactly what I was worried about! I should have thought of that. Thank you!

I found some rocks along the river earlier today for my new aquarium. They're pretty heavy and I'm trying to find out how much a glass aquarium can hold. It's a 29g on a regular stand, so there's no support along the bottom.

I've been feeding all my fry this stuff. Hikari info : Hikari First Bites Hikari First Bites, they seem to love it and it's extremely tiny too. lol

Update on this batch of guppies. One of them just had 15 fry!

I was at Petco looking at the Bristlenose when the one in the corner moved. They had them labeled as regular Bristlenose, but it was a long fin. So I grabbed it! lol I got a Golden Gourami too.

So I had a airstone in my 29g for a few months now and I've been doing regular water changes, but I hadn't removed the hood in a few weeks. What do I find on the glass hood? A ton of algea growing from the water bubbling up onto the glass. So I decided maybe I'll try a power head so there's less...

Thanks! The driftwood is resin, and I've tried growing live plants before but failed, but I do want to try again. My 10g is empty now so maybe I can try growing them there.

Thanks! I'm just glad I finally have it all set up.

Puns an lfs down in the bad part of town selling used equipment. Got a nice pine stand for $30.

Forgot to attach the pics.

Update!! The first group of fry are big enough to be with their parents now. The second female guppy just dropped her fry. I only found 5.

I'm looking at the nano section at LiveAquaria.

So a mandarin would require a sump and all that fun under tank stuff. Would a 30g still need that if I wasn't growing pods?

I want to start saltwater and I'm wondering what would get along in a 30g. I also saw some Mandarin at my lfs and remember reading they need something special but I can't find the thread.

Awesome, I don't plan on killing any plants again anytime soon. lol

I've seen the SeaChem Prime, I'll grab that instead then. Thanks guys!

No filter in there yet. And no drinking water filter either... I gotta get to Walmart and stop drinking all that ammonia. @,@ I'll go grab a bottle of the API conditioner while I'm at it.

airstone* **** iphone lol
