I use a Koralia nano, I think the smaller of the two, in my 75 gal just to increase water flow. It's held up really well and adds enough circulation to get rid of dead spots left from the canister filter outflow. I think they are pretty cheap as well, maybe $20 on amazon. Long story short...

Ok, thank you all very much!

Maybe? I looked it up before and now again, and i can't find any pictures that look like this but maybe I guess?

I love this idea, I'm actually sad that I stocked up before I thought of a similar idea ( Michigan native). What fish were you thinking?

That picture was kind of zoomed in but here's one that is not cropped if it helps with scale. That's a pretty large leaf of an aponogeton crispus next to it.

I don't think so, but who knows I guess. It may not be a true floating plant either; I've let quite a few plants just float on the top if they don't make it while buried in the substrate. I've found that some of the foreground plants I've bought from my lfs were not labeled correctly so I have...

So I came back from vacation and found quite a bit of this stuff floating at the top of my tank in clumps. I've searched but am having a hard time identifying it. Thanks in advance!

I think there's a problem with those latest readings: no cat in the picture!

I just used some acrylic paint I found at a hobby store, it was only a dollar or so per bottle and I think I went through 3 or 4 for my 75 gallon. I think it would work well for a tank that is already set up as there is little to no fumes and it's pretty thick stuff. I think I read that foam...

I have some floramax that I've used and I believe you are not supposed to rinse it before you add it to the tank. Either way I've had no problems with cloudiness from using the product so I would just give it a little time to let it settle before making judgements. In the future I would...

Hello, I've got an API Filstar xp3 with an air leak that I thought I had solved but its back again, and I'm looking for any other solutions out there. The problem is coming from the inlet pipe, specifically I can't get the priming cap to seal correctly and air is leaking in. I had put some...

I just add enough Prime for the whole tanks volume, then start filling with the python.

Thanks for the input! Would rams work at all in a tank like this? I think I will add some danios, glowlights I believe is the common name, but having something a bit different than the small schoolers I've got now sounds interesting. I'll look into rainbows more before I make any decision...

Does anyone have any advice on stocking they could give? I'm going back and forth on adding a third schooling fish or bolstering the two I have now. This is my first tank of this size and having the ability to add a huge school of fish does sound tempting, but I also like some variety in the...

Just go to Walgreens and tell them that you want a 5ml syringe, they should have them and give them out free. I was nervous too but there is really no need to be. I got three for free and probably could have gotten more if they had them on hand.

Thanks! I haven't done anything besides buy some plants and throw them wherever they would fit at the moment since I have no experience with live ones, so how things are now is very unlikely how they will be in the future. I figure much of learning about aquascaping and planted tanks will come...

Hey all, figured I'd start a journal for my new 75 gallon tank! Here's what I am working with right now: Rena XP3 Eheim Jager 300w heater 2x T5HO (6500, rose) 1x T8 (6500) 1 strip LED Moon Lights Eco-complete substrate Plants: Aponogeton Crispus, Val, Cryptocoryne mioya, Didiplis diandra...

Alright thanks for the input everyone. I guess I'll just try one out and if I need to add a smaller submersible later on I will.

Sorry if I wasn't more clear, but I am really just asking if in-line heaters are somehow more efficient at heating the water than submersibles.
