Hi everyone, my pH is at about 7.6 right now, and i would like to lower it to the ~6.8-7.0 range. I've seen that pH down stuff, but I've also heard that putting peat moss in the filter could bring it down. I'm looking for more of a permanent fix. My Nitrates are also high. I was having a bit...

I'm looking to buy some hardy aquarium plants to start off with(I've never kept live plants before). I'm wanting java moss, java fern, wisteria, and Anubias. But I'll definitely consider other hardy plants.

So as I've been reading up on how to start out with live plants, I've seen a few people mention that there can be too much light, too little, etc. I just want to know what is the right amount of light, co2, and nutrients. So here's what I'm planning(I have a 29g): I would like to get some of...

I would like to pick up a plant or two this weekend. I still haven't replaced my lighting yet, so would some java moss, java fern, or anubias be able to live under a T8? I would attach them to the driftwood, so they would be pretty close to the light rather than at the bottom of the tank...

It's a 29g. I was thinking a school of Neons but I have been told that the rams may be too aggressive for them. If not those, I was thinking rummynose tetras. Any suggestions are welcome.

I want to start growing plants in my 29g. I was told in another thread that a 6500K bulb of about 60 watts would be sufficient for what I am looking to do. I'm willing to put the money up, but I was just looking for some of the less expensive retailers out there. Any suggestions? I believe the...

This is not my tank, but I came across it on youtube and it just seems like there would be some problems down the line when it comes to space and aggression. My 29 Gallon Dwarf Cichlid Fish Tank Aquarium HD--Lumix lx3 - YouTube

Hey everyone, I have a few questions about getting started with live plants. I currently only have artificial plants in my 29g. I would like to add a few live plants to see how it goes, but I really don't have the time or money to do a big elaborate set up with the good lighting, CO2 systems...

Hey everyone, I had added a large piece of driftwood a while ago and it gave the water that yellowish tint from the tannins. I actually thought it looked good and really intensified the colors of my rams. I'll be getting tetras in the future and I think it'll compliment their colors as well. But...

I have a 29g tank, currently housing zebra loaches, bolivian rams, and a rainbow shark. I don't have a huge algae problem, but I do think they are both interesting species. I have plenty of (fake) plants and driftwood, so I don't think hiding places would be an issue. I have read that...

I have always wanted to have shrimp in my aquarium, but never actually done it. I just enjoy watching them, and from what I under stand, they do a good job of cleaning algae and leftover food. I'm worried about them getting eaten though. I have a Rainbow Shark, Zebra Loaches, and my newest...

Hi all, I have an established 29g tank, currently housing a rainbow shark and two botia striata. I am looking into getting some type of dwarf cichlid, probably a pair of bolivian rams or some type of apistos. What would be a good species to add along with them, in terms of small, schooling fish...

Hey everyone, I just registered and thought that I'd introduce myself. I'm 19, and have kept fish for years. I have always kept freshwater fish, and mainly community tanks. At the moment I have a 29g with three fish in it: A Rainbow Shark and two Striata Botia. I just recently gave away my...
