Okay so keep cleaning the plants off. I got some nerite snails as you recommended Monday, I got 5 small ones and my glass is already free of algae. I actually was thinking of a little power head. My friend has a saltwater tank with a really strong one, I might be able to get the little old one...

Bump!!!

Umm I don't know the exact turn over rate of my filter but it adds pretty good flow to my tank. I do around 50% WC weekly, I used to do about 30% 2 times a week but that was before this semester started and me not coming home with enough time to do one. I usually take the vaccum/python and...

Hey everyone, i didnt get home last night until it was too late to take pictures, but i woke up this morning and i took some that HOPEFULLY will help. Rivercats: its easily wiped off, just by agitating the water close to the plant it will come off the plant and start floating, but theres so...

so i just dont worry about it? thank you for the reply!

hey guys. okay so I've had my tank since about beginning of january, and i had it cycle, added fishes, plants etc, just as supposed to, but the past week this brown hairy looking algae literally burst ALL over my plants, every single one of them, since i have no time to do water changes during...

I have a 29g planted, I built my own led fixture from rapidled.com. I bought everything and wired it and **** and they are putting up to 3.3W each led, 14 LEDs, plants are goin crazy now, and the advantage is that I won't ever need to replace cause bulbs die Off.

Hey guys, I'm starting this thread cause I keep coming across the term "dry ferts" when reading other threads and I was wondering if anyone could give me information about them, and if they are necessary, beneficial and what are the ups and downs of it, and also how to set it up lol. I'm not...

Hey guys I bought some green cabombas and some purple ones. I put them in like last week and now the purple one is GREAT! But the green is like not even opening up, falling down as if the stem is broke and idk if I should cut it off or what I need some help with what to do, I wanna save this...

Honestly, for diffuser buy a 5 dollar nano ceramic diffuser and get it there, don't run bubble counter go straight from bottle to build enough pressure, you'll see te difference with that. Also a good mixture for long lasting (works for me) 1/4 teaspoon yeast, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking...

Great ****ing article lol

Hmm, I don't know much about fish less cycling, i can tell you that I've been told it takes a while, and I'm not a person that waits lol I put hardy fish in there and turbo start bacteria in there lmao but I recommend I you ask ppl who know more about that. You can get root tabs at umm LFS or...

Wow I just realized you put a picture of ecocomplete, feel like a total dumbasss lmfao!

Hey I just subscribed I'm interested on how your tank will grow to be like haha. Umm low light plants: java fern, moss, some swords, anubias. Algae eaters: some plecos, I have 4 ancistris and they do pretty good,they get to a total size of 5" and clean the leaves pretty well, you could also do...

Quick update! I just finished putting some new foxtails, anubias, dwarf baby tears, dwarf hairgrass, purple and green cabombas, red melon sword,java and lazy fern, and some flame moss! The plecos are ancistris, and I got 15 tetras so far! :)

I have ancistris plecos, they are very common I believe. They stay at around 4/5" and are good with plants. Check them out, the albinos are beautiful IMO.

I have tetras, rummy noses, glo lite, neons, and as center piece I have discus and rams. Definitely rams. German blue rams or Bolivian are good with plants.

Try running bottle with mixture>check valve> diffuser, take the bubble counter off until you see some bubbles and then give it a try the next time you make a mixture with the bubble counter. You might need to get some pressure through the ceramic disk in order to get it "broken out" so then the...

I was having this exact problem las week with the new glass diffuser that has a ceramic disk. It wasn't building enough pressure. So what I did was, I went to bed bath and beyond and bought a "sodastream" bottle. I drilled a hole on the cap, siliconed the tubing and ishhhh. Now it's working...

As far as I know you shouldn't have moderate levels of copper unless you're adding it to the tank, i just started my tank so I've been doing a research and since I wanna out some shrimp I asked the same question and the 3 lfs by me said that unless you're adding the copper (meds mostly) you...

Hey I have a 29g planted tank and I'm currently using a led fixture I put together myself. I bought everything from rapidled.com I'm running 14 5W Cree xp-g LEDs that put a total output of 3.3W each, it's plenty for growing plants in my tank and possibly strong enough to grow hard coral too if...
