There's been no damage yet anyways. They are fine in the day time it's just right after the light are out. Hasn't happened much since just a few nights in a row. There in a 55 gal planted community tank. How many of each should I get I'd probably only get 3 more. Sent from my iPhone using...

Hello everyone so long story short I have 4 congos got them all young and I ended up with 2 males and 2 females. When the lights are on everything seems fine and no troubles but almost as soon as the lights go out I see the two males zooming back and fourth across the tanks and fighting each...

Hello fellow fish lovers! I was just curious what everyone is using in there filters for media in a planted tank. What is everyone loading up their canisters with and what order are you loading it in. I have a 306 and in the bottom I have the bio foam in the second I have a thin layer of quilt...

Well after replacing those DI filters there is now 0 ppm nitrate and the GH & KH are both 3. I still have the same question though. Do I need to be dosing equilibrium even those my GH & KH are at a good level. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I just replaced the two DI but it's just temporary. It came with two filters for the top it said chlorine taste and odor removal. The unit has two refillable cartridges for the DI resin. I'll have to leave it for now until I get some resin and repack it. In the meanwhile ill test the water from...

So I recently bought a used RO unit. The unit came with two sets of new filter cartridges and the membrane was replaced less than 6 months ago but it looks like the two polishers or the DI needs to be replaced. So just a little background info, my tap water comes out at like 40-60ppm nitrate an...

Hello my sister has had this male beta for a few months now. He was originally in a 3 gal tank but he is now in a 55 gal all alone. We were wondering what would be the best tank mates for this make beta. We are going to put some cory cats in forsure but would like some more fish so it's a true...

I have made a few orders with "The Plant Guy". Plants all arrived looking great often times with more than you ordered. Prices are pretty good IMO and shipping isn't bad either. Here's there link http://www.theplantguy.org

Okay so today i received my red tiger lotus and it came with two portions. One portion had the bulb and nice roots and some small leaves, the other had both roots and leaves but no bulb. How do I go about planting these? I've only ever grown a lotus straight from the bulb. Thanks in advance

Ok thanks a lot I'll be sure to test it and find the happy medium. What would be too low?

Hey guys it's been a while! I have been dealing with high nitrate problem for a while now. My tap water comes out at about 40ppm which is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. When I'm doing my water changes the "old" water come out at about 20ppm. So it's almost like I'm putting in dirty water and...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was thinking about maybe getting some dwarf sag back and filling the left corner with that or maybe some star grass we will see. I was also thinking of getting another red tiger lotus for the back right corner but I'm not sure what I want there yet. I did a water...

Hello everyone this is my first planted tank I'm dosing pps pro and using liquid carbon. I will admit I do miss a day here and there. I have changed my set up a lot and learned the hard was what plants to trim and not to trim. I buried my red lotus bulb n killed it :( I also tried to trim my...

I don't even have any fish yet that's the thing. The only way they could have got there are from the plants I put in almost two weeks ago.

Thanks everyone! Today I found a few random snails in my tank hanging around the co2 diffuser! What should I do are they good are they bad? There's actually like 10 now that I look close. Ill attach a photo but its not that great

It most defiantly is hair like! It started on the rotunfoilia and then just the sand nowhere else really ill try and cut back the lighting time to 6 hours and clean up as much as I can!

Here are a few photos of the tank and the growth plants have been in for 10 days. I'm having some trouble with algae though. I'm not too sure what to do ill also attach photos of the algae. I have been dosing pps pro minus the nitrates bc my levels are high enough right now without it. Jw what I...

Hey thanks I wasn't sure how I felt about it but I like it! I plan on stocking 15 cardinal tetras, 8 congo tetras, 6 cory cats, 1 pearl gourami, and a pair of rams. Will that work alright?
