The liquid CO2 supplement just isn't cutting it because I run out and it takes me a couple of weeks to get another bottle, but by that time I have problems. Anyway, what is the best system considering an efficiency and price equillibrium and where can I find it? This is for a 60 gallon.

Siamese algae eaters? I have some hair and beard algae that I just cannot get rid of so I am going to get some Siamese algae eaters. I know the reason I got it in the first place is because my light source probably requires c02 injection (planted tank) I am also in the market for a c02 injection...

I was thinking about adding two or three ADF to my 60 gallon planted community that includes angelicus botia, red wag platies, guppies, neon tetras and a beautiful dwarf gourami. also large colony of rcs with lots of moss and hiding places (driftwood, plants etc.) do ADF need to be quarantined...

I guess I mainly want the cons of having a saltwater tank that will eventually have reefs that has no overflows or protein skimmer? In a couple of months from now I am going to either do a 29 gallong biocube or really go crazy and do a six footer so I can have tangs. I know the biocube is all...

I have black sand substrate and over the last week or so the right front corner seems to have fallen down some how. it is almost like whatever was holding that corner of sand up has collapsed. Obviously this is not the case because that would mean my tank has a hole there and it would drain...

I have 10 amazon swords I bought from a member a couple months ago or so. I planted them along the back of my 60 gallon 4 foot tank. I bought seachem root tabs at the time. A pack of ten and put one in beside each one. The box said those should last 4-6 months. Well I figured amazon swords would...

I posted in the reef forum about a month or so ago asking questions when in actuality the FOWLR route is what I will go to start with. Initially I was going to go with an all in one self contained biocube, but that deal fell through so now I a going to convert my 16 gallon bow front into a FOWLR...

I have decided the best way for me to get into the saltwater side of things is to go with an all in one system and the 29 gallon biocube seems best to me. what are my stock options and coral options considering the lighting that comes in those? I would like to see photos or even video of your...

I am putting this in the planted forum because my questions involve plant related issues. Thanks to Rivercats I have the know how to get rid of what I have recently learned to be black beard algae. I have read a lot of negative stories about using hydrogen peroxide though so I am using it very...

60 gallon 48"x13" and two feet deep top to bottom. I got an 48" aquatic life dual t5ho with one 65k white bulb and one rosette bulb. (what exactly does the rosette bulb do?) Currently I only have low light plants, but looking to add some colored plants if possible. Are there any plants with...

my tank is 60 gallon 48x13 and two feet deep top to bottom. I have a chance to purchase a dual t5ho light with one white bulb and one what i was told a rosette bulb. do i need c02 injection if i get this light? java moss, java fern, anubias, amazon swords.

Had a problem with tannins then i added a 100ml bag of purigen. This worked well for about a couple of weeks. I then had to recharge it because in just two weeks it was dark brown. Made it completely white soaking in bleach water for 24 hours then soaked in water treated with prime for 24 hours...

I sometimes have tannins in my water, but typically after a pwc it is good. Lately i have been using purigen and don't notice it at all except now i am. I have recharged the purigen and still have tannin looking water. Could the root tabs be the issue? It just started being an issue of not...

I have a 60 gallon 48"x13". I have various low light plants. I recently added some amazon sword plantlets and noticed today that one of them has a translucent.leaf, not any holes, just translucent. From reading i have found this could be a result of low potassium. I have seachem root tabs down...

I have a big rock that I was thinking about wrapping in java moss with some black thread. My question is way down the road when the thread deteriorates and dissolves will the moss be imbedded into the rock by then? Or perhaps I should ask for tips on the best way to attach a large amount of java...
