If you choose to add sand to the tank make sure to remove all your fish and let the dust settle. The small particles in sand can kill most small fish. You can also add your sand cleaned and wet. I did that and got no dust particles and did not have to remove my fish which is good as i have a 75...

I use Envy for my ferts and I add Leaf Zone every two weeks as a boost. I have just started using the Envy two weeks ago and that is pretty much when the algae really started. I have two T-8's and a double t-5 for the lights. They are all 24" so I have them set up with the 8's in the front...

That really should be fine. If you feel you are not getting the growth you got before you can change them out but until then I would not waste the money on another light. Try using mylar over the lights to help direct the lighting towards to outside. You can also try to barter or trade for a...

I have hair algae in my 75 gallon planted. The funny thing is I looked up how to get rid of it and found tons of places that just said to pull it off and remove it and I found a handful that said you can treat it with algae killer. :angel: Yah, no.. I did the algae killer and the hair algae...

Here are some photos of my tanks. The pictures are not as great as they could be but you can see what I have in there.

Very cool.. I have seen this done. I am trying to to it to my tank also but I am not doing the semiaquatic plants at all. They all need to be fully aquatic for my tank. The setup I have right now will take months to grow where I no longer need a filter or pump. I am doing a dwarf grass carpet on...

Yes they do that. How long have they been in the tank? How big is the tank? If they are new they may calm down a bit down the road once they are established. If they are not new did you add anything or change the tank around? If it is no to all you just got some happy fish not really mean fish...

Oh yes it was hard to get rid of some of the prettier fish so I could have the planted. I have a 75 gallon that is 3/4 planted. I have more to do on it but I am lazy. :) I am adding plants after the fact so it is much harder for me to get me rushing into it. Good thing I already have the stuff...

When you start it is best to start with one or two at a time. Make sure the light levels are adequate for your specific plant. Some require low lighting up to very high lighting. I have a partially planted that is well lit. There are also costs to planted tanks. You will need fertilizer and...

What is the size of your tank? Discus are lovely fish. What size tank do you have? Is it planted? Nice to meet you! Titan

Loving the smilies on the forum. Hi all! I have had fish tanks since I was a young adult. My first aquarium was a 35 gallon freshwater with, yep wait for it, GOLDFISH.. hehe.. of course. I had four gold fantails for years. They got huge and they were messy. I spent alot of time cleaning that...
