Hi guys, Just wanted to share my low tank that I setup last November, with the layout almost complete. I'm pretty satisfied with this tank (first time ever), and hope I can take good care of it for a while. However my hemianthus cuba is turning a bit yellow, maybe due to high light and a lack...

Hey guys, So I'm wondering if anyone has a procedure before introducing newly bought plants before introducing it into your aquarium. The reason I ask is because sometimes the plants you get can carry algae, which would be a disaster. If anyone has any ideas on what to do before planting, it...

Hi guys, So I go off to work at 6:15am and get home around 6:00pm. I usually have the lights come on at 4pm and off at 12am and CO2 on around 2pm and off at 10pm. Do you guys think it's better I fertilize before leaving for work or after I return? Thanks in advance!

So i just setup my 2 foot tank and seems like most of the plants are melting. I'm doing a fishless cycle, have ADA lights, using DIY co2, but still all the plants are dying, except for the stem plants. Water parameters are - PH 7.2, GH 8, KH 4, NH3&4 0.0ml. Any ideas??

Hi guys, I've been in this hobby for about 7 months now but first time I really checked out the water parameters. For my 48 gallon aquarium (4 months old, fish & plants) GH=6, KH=5, PH=7.2, NH3,NH4=0. 18 gallon aquarium (3 weeks old, only plants no fish) GH=8, KH=4, PH=72, NH3,NH4=0. Now...

Hi guys, So I'm going to Hawaii next month and I want to purchase a quality LED system for my 3 foot wide aquarium. Since the aquarium market is quite small in South Korea, its hard to find to find quality LED that are good for plant growth, mostly just useless lights. Money isn't the issue...

Hi guys, Here is my 3 foot long planted community tank. Honestly not really pleased with the background plants but don't think I will ever be satisfied...hence why I always trying out new layouts. Anyways just wanted to share!

Hi all, So yesterday I thought about directing the CO2 bubbles directly into the inflow of my external canister. I put my diffuser and inflow right above so the micro bubbles get sucked in directly into the external canister. From my amateur perceptive, this should help diffuse CO2 into the...

My 40L tank Can someone tell me name of the grass looking plant on the left front, the long stemmed red leaved plants & the green plants on the right? I know I have Java Moss & Java Fern in the back but wasn't sure about the rest! Thank you in advance. (yes I know the tank is overcrowded...

Hi guys, So recently I've been contemplating on what kind of soil substrate to use and I usually see two different types. Type 1 Just floor our the bottom of the tank using one substrate (small balls which I assume contain nutrients for the plants) Type 2 Use a dense mud-like substrate...
