Pretty low maintenance other than trimming (mostly roots) and removing dead leaves that fall in. I do monthly water changes, if I remember, but I do top off weekly and and fertilize every few weeks. Truthfully, the amano shrimp and nerite snails do a great job keeping the deterius in check, and...

Thanks Carol :) nice to see you're a mod now Here are a few quick pics of my overgrown riparium as of this morning… need to trim those P caderi!

Thanks for the PM I'm picking up a D20 from a fellow SCAPE member today to play with until I figure out what I want to spend $$$ on Honestly Brian, I need to make sure I have the talent and acumen to demand a $500+ investment. I really like what you are doing with the NX300, and I really...

All 3 of the NX series cameras with the 20-50mm lens have OIS, however, after reading the review and comparison here Samsung NX2000 - Digital cameras - CNET Reviews I' think I;ll go with the NX2000 for $50 more than the NX1100 I do believe the biggest factor in fine photography is the operator...

Any progress with or updates to this tank? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Was a nice tank Joey. Can't wait to see your new build. How's your recovery going? S. Subulata behaved the same for me, stagnant for weeks and weeks and now sending runners. Also staying low. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Great pics! You've got a good eye. Did you use a tripod? I'm leaning towards the NX1100 for cost reasons I agree you're EBR looks like a male. Congrats :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Tank looks great, again :D I'm also looking at cameras, I have a thread on scape about various models I'm interested in; I had not considered the NX300 Which lens did you get with yours, 18-55mm or 20-50mm? 2.5x or 3.x optical zoom? Is there a super macro function? I'm reading CNET reviews on...

Not sure... 2 forums is a lot already

In all honesty it seems you have a successful tank despite what your test kit tells you. I had a similar experience with ammonia always testing present and no nitrates, my tank and fish are all still well after several months. If there is not an obvious source of ammonia in the tank, like...

Is that the spot you usually feed them? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Looks like a nice comeback scape :) Well played sir! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have not read this entire thread. Are there plants in this tank?

Sure :brows:

The riparium is easier, no special tank required ;) I dig the community there. Going to meetings and getting to know members on a first-name and face to face basis is a nice; it's the biggest difference between a forum and a club. I naturally don't mind being involved and giving back to the...

Glad that worked out for you, Brian :D

Thanks for the warning, Bill. I'll take my chances 8) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Seachem instructions are on the bottle. One thread of the cap is about 1mL. Don't guess, know. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Thanks for the compliments Brian. I'd be happy to help you with plants and plans, or hit up Hydrophite (Devin @ ripariumsupply.com) on TPT or SCAPE. I'll update the link to my build on TPT but anyone interested in plants should consider joining SCAPE! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using...

I treat my tap water with Prime too. Dosage is 2 drops per gallon. Be careful not to overdose as Prime will deplete oxygen from the water, which is bad for your livestock. You can get a pipette or dropper from a pharmacy or hydroponics store to make dosing drops easier, otherwise it's 1mL...

Do this daily until ammonia is zero. Remove waste and dead things from tank. Add nitrifying bacteria additive to filter after each WC. Add floating plants like anacharis and hornwort. Should fix itself in a week. However, I wonder if your test kit is duff, pH is too high for any of your...

Here's a quick pic of where this build went. New tread pending unless I can forward a link to my journal on TPT or SCAPE... I don't want to keep 3 journals up to date!

I'll trade you amazonia for that africana, Brian :) Saf-t-sorb (montmorillonite clay) is a great source of iron. Amazonia includes this too... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
