That's beautiful. Great driftwood too, I like the color.

Wow. Thank you.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. Planted tanks is a challenge for someone as impatient as me (thus the C02! Ha!). Renegade- you nailed it. There's a decent chunk of driftwood in that first tank, but it's engulfed in anubias and crypts. I'm thinking a nice manzanita branch would be ideal? I...

Thanks! Appreciate that. And best of luck with yours.

So I've really gone head-first into this whole planted tank thing. My wife thinks I've lost my mind! Please tell me what you think. I'm always looking to make improvements. Thanks!

It does, thank you. I'm wanting some rams pretty bad, but I was thinking that gourami would be an issue. I've read about a lot of success with DG's and Rams, but none with three spots. Thanks again for the quick reply!

Hey All- I have a 55g, heavily planted with 3pcs of driftwood, a dual cave piece of lava rock and black blasting sand. Current stock is one albino long-finned bristlenose pleco, six albino cory cats, eleven serpae tetra, two amano shrimp and one gold gourami. It's a great tank with no issues. So...

They look like Cory eggs to me. Besides I guess the guppies won't have eggs! Hehe. My corys eat their eggs though, so you'll have to take precautions if you want to hatch them.

The first one is a 55g. Stock is 3 Silver Hathchets, 22 neon tetra, 7 red eye tetra, 6 black kuhli loackes, 1 Flame Red DG, 1 Rubber Lipped Pleco, 3 Julii Cory, 1 Emerald Green Cory, 1 Green Spotted Cory, 12 Ghost Shrimp and lots of snails. The second one is a 55g. Stock is 7 Blind Cave Tetra...

This is my 55g planted community. A work in progress. It's also the latest version of my 20g tall. Also a work in progress. Just upgraded to a paintball C02 set-up and upgraded to T5HO lighting.

Update: I scraped off the original reseal, because it was terrible. I re-did it a few nights later and am much happier. It's been leak-testing for a week and looking good. I syphoned the water out tonight and will put it in place. Here's a pic of the DIY stand that I built last weekend with my...

I think I finally got it. Spring came early, so I resealed about a week ago. I never got to the water test. I thought it looked terrible, so I recleaned and resealed again last night. Much better this time. Water test in a couple of days!

I don't know. A lot of people hire services to come clean their tanks, and others love fish keeping but struggled with cleaning due to schedules or disabilities. In this case they'll just be hiring a $200 robot. I would say this is better than begrudging them the opportunity to experience a...

Gotta change that filter cartridge every month or so!

I'm in! I think it's a great idea.

I can't really answer that, but I read this about there being and albino version. Corydoras paleatus, the Peppered cory. Both species are extensively bred in captivity. Albino versions of both of these species exist.

Hey All, I thought I would pass on this article for anyone who may have one and not seen it. Looks pretty bad. Stealth Aquarium Heaters Recalled Due to Fire and Laceration Risks

Yup! Cool thing!

Got a decent pic of an egg!

This is the second week in a row that this Julii is laying eggs. What a cool thing to watch!

You can buy new trim online. I'm not where I can give you the link, but would be happy to when I'm back to my computer at home. It's not very expensive either. I think it was around $10-$12 per piece. You could even change to black. Don't quote me in that price. I'll try to post where I found it...

I should have said that as well. I also dose Flourish 2-3 times per week, and can definitely tell when I don't.
