10 gallon cold water White Cloud Mountain minnow tank Stock: 8 white clouds A few cherry shrimp Ramshorn snails Plants: Anubias nana petite Petco black sand Marineland LED hood Sun sun internal filter

Picked up a new 20H and set everything up this weekend. Waiting for the plants to perk up.. scape is still a work in progress Light is a finnex stingray suspended 8" above the tank. Substrate is pool filter sand, and I will probably add a sprinkling of some coarse river gravel I need some...

This is my original build thread, but apparently it's been too long and I can no longer post a reply: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f24/tank-journey-10-gallon-new-20-gallon-long-build-328937-8.html This tank has definitely been through some changes this year. Some photos: January 27...

Pic from a week and a half ago. It's time for a major trimming. I'm selling the tops. $0.50 per non-rooted stem, plus $6.50 shipping (usps priority mail). I'm not sure exactly how many will be available, possibly around 30 or 40 stems.

Tank journey: 10 gallon > new 20 gallon long build This started out about a year and a half ago as not exactly a planted tank but more of a "fish tank with some plants": gravel substrate, stock leds, very low-tech and low maintenance. A bit later: I eventually stepped it up with DIY CO2...

I was going to post this in DIY, but I figured more people will see it here. The problem with DIY CO2 is that you can't simply shut it off, so you have to adjust the yeast/sugar recipe and then count bubbles, which is unpredictable and inconsistent. I've been experimenting with DIY internal...

I'm in the planning stage for a 20 long build with DIY CO2, and I'm wondering about whether or not I'll need to run aeration at night. For lighting, I have a 30" Beamswork LED: 6500K, 57 X 0.5 watt LEDs (26W total) Fish stocking plan: 8 harlequin rasboras 10 neon tetras 5 forktail blue-eye...

My tap water usually has around 5-7 ppm nitrates. Not too high, but I had an idea to reduce it a bit since I normally let my new water outgas in buckets to let the ph settle before a pwc. Lately, I've just been doing water changes and refilling buckets right afterward, so the water sits for a...

I noticed a female rcs in my 10 gal community tank is carrying eggs. I found a floating breeding net with really fine mesh that I think will work for baby shrimp. Would it be okay to keep the female in a breeding net, or would it be stressful? I could put some hornwort in there so it's not...

Some time ago after trimming some anubias roots, I put a couple pieces into another tank as an experiment. The sections of root are alive and slowly growing, but will they ever form a new rhizome and leaves?

I'm looking for suggestions or opinions on how to complete the stocking of my moderately-planted 10 gallon tank. Here's the stock so far: 5 harlequin rasboras 5 neon tetras 1 otocinclus 2 red cherry shrimp (a male and a female - I'm hoping they will breed) I'm considering these options: 1)...

I thought about getting a school of glowlight tetras, but I've seen conflicting information regarding their general size/bioload. Some sites say that glowlights are generally larger than neons, however the aqadvisor.com calculator treats glowlights as 1-inch nano fish. I know the difference...

One honey gourami with five harlequin rasboras in a 10g? I had a honey gourami for over a month, but he died. (the rest of the stock at the lfs didn't make it either) I considered replacing him, but I'm having second thoughts. After settling in, he seemed healthy and happy at first, grazing...

It looks like my Honey Gourami had his tail nipped by one of the harlequin rasboras. After a day and a half, it doesn't look any better (or worse). It's a small half-circle "bite" out of the tip of the tail. I'll be doing 25% water changes daily. Is there anything else I should be doing...

I was having trouble trying to get rid of nitrates, even after many water changes. -This is a brand new API liquid nitrate test. I'm wondering if I got a bad kit. I get roughly the same result from both of my tanks and the tap water - it looks to be around 30 - 40 ppm. I thought this was...
