My 55g, 5g, and 20g trying out theled moon lights. It's really blue.

alright, t(h)anks guys. all good ideas.. i dunno what plants ill put in here.. or fish.. a lot of them will come from my other tanks, 5g and 55g. in those tanks i already have hc, moss (still in bag with holes through them), bunch of anubias, two stocks java fern, three stocks amazon swords...

ok yea so my next two questions... what if i rinse/place it in a different bucket. would it help the ammonia leaking and cloudniess go away faster? and how would i introduce the new ada soil into my established tank? i'm planning to take out the blue gravel completely and fill it with ada...

Regardless, my loach and snail shall be re-homed..

Cool. What if I rinse it in a small bucket little by little...!?!? I'd probably have too much of the nutrients wasted..?

Alright thanks. I'm excited to get this started. I might start tomorrow, my day off. I work over 50 hours a week so I don't have much time. I'll keep an eye on the ammonia and do slow water changes with the aqueon water changer.

Thinking about trimming the manzanita wood a little shorter length wise, be able to fit more plants and rocks.

Alright. Sounds good. Thanks for your input. This 20G high is an established tank, BB wise. Will the ammonia spike kill the BB as well? Sneak peak pic. It's current inhabitants are a botia loach and a golden snail, which I will re-home when I get this started.

I bought the large bag. I can open it, and save the rest later down the road for a different tank? Asking cuz I see a lot of moisture in the bag. Next question is..., I heard Amazonia will spike the ammonia. More water changes throughout the day, week will decrease the amount of ammonia...

Cool. I'm sure this will be a good investment.

eh i just put in the order for my gla pps pro ferts. it cost me 33 + 20 s&h. i have a 55g, 20g, and a 5g... any ball park guess on how long it'll last..?

im searching for the finnex ray 2 7000k-7000k 24"... it looks like every site is out of stock besides amazon, which is trying to charge me $100 with shipping. debating if i should wait it out or just pay the extra.

I'm going to place an order on the GLA pps pro fert pack later today. I'm also looking into those LED lights. They look nice. My tank is 24x18x12? I think.. I'd obviously go with the 24 inch fixture, 7000k - 7000k correct?

yea i've been hearing a lot of LED's recently, i don't have any experience with them though... can anyone point me to a good LED fixture that'll do well for a planted tank? anything else i need immediately to get this going>?

i want to convert my 20 gallon to a heavily planted. what i currently have: - tank, stock light, stock HOB filter - big bag of ADA aquasoil - paintball tank with aquatek regulator, diffuser, drop checker, solution - just ordered the api freshwater master test kit online (cheaper) what i'm...

yup , i guess. i think ima go fishing for some 'duckweed' and get rid of it.

maybe a thing manzanita drift wood diagonal or across/ the back... it'd be cool to see the shrimp hanging out there. hc doesnt seem to be rooting like i've seen in optimal conditions. maybe i should up the lights? or do it the same time i get my co2 tank up and running? maybe it is the...

I don't mind it. It looks pretty nice. As long as my tank is thriving. I don't like the scaping though, any suggestions are welcome. Maybe a small piece of driftwood..? Some moss on the driftwood...? We'll see how everything goes haha.

Thanks guys. I learned a lot of things from this forum. I was at work in a rush yesterday so I was only able to post pics. I'm actually at work again. Let me explain what's going on with this tank. I did get my regulator a couple days ago, along with a paintball tank my friend gave me. But I...

This is what it looks like today.

These pictures are about a month old.

hey i read some where... bottle caps...!! drill a hole thru them, to whatever size the roots are, pull the roots thru, with the bottle cap upside down, and fill em with gravel or sand, and they stay! buuut, i wonder how bad the plastic can be in the long run...?

i forgot to add that i threw in a couple strands of anacharis... they do look like they ARE on steroids. stems shooting, looks more green and strong, and they're pearling as well. great.

Yea, I didn't think any metal in the tank is good..
