Thank you very much! I will try that tommorow.

Hey guys, big problems for our tank. We are moving, putting the house on the market, so we had to move our 45L community tank. Everyone in buckets of tank water, transported half the water, mix the rest, brought to temp, attempted to keep fish warm ( although it dropped a few degrees so I...

Thank you for the info :)

Oh, thank you. I got nerites cause i read they didn't reproduce in freshwater, didn't realize they would still lay eggs..... Man, there are a lot of them.... Good thing they won't hatch..... Will my other fish and shrimp eventually find them and remove them for me? Or should I plan on haveing to...

In our community tank we have cories, serpae tetra, nerite snails, Amano shrimp, a single electric blue ram and a single dwarf gourami. Any idea who these lil white specs ( I assume are eggs) belong too? They are all over my drift wood and a few on the glass. No one seems to be eating them...

Well, picked up my third led strip for the light, did a 15 gal water change, and in the process stirred up a ton of stuff from the gravel. That stuff may have been mulm, it may have been the dust from the layer of fluorite substrate under the regular gravel. Not sure, but hopefully everything is...

Wanted to thank you for your response, the lil guy is half the size of his friend, but has stopped getting thinner and his body shape has evened out a bit. He is still eating and a bit more active, so I think the medicine worked :)

ok, I just went and checked the plant before the moon lights cut out, and it looks worse. It had on good sized very healthy looking pad on the surface of the water, and now it looks like this. Tested water - ph - 6.9 ammonia - 0 ( maybe a hint, but looked yellow to me) nitrite - 0 nitrate -...

Hmmm, have never used any tabs... The bottom third of my gravel is the Eco gravel for plants.... Messy stuff... Didn't think I needed tabs as I have no bulb plants..... Maybe try those as well? I'm just not sure as to the balance in my tank.... How do I find that magical balance of light and...

Thank you

Well those plants are on the far end away from the power head, so no worries about current. Maybe they just need more light? I really need to get that 3rd bulb.

Lighting is a aqueon 48" led, the one you can add up to 3 led strips too. It currently has one white and one color max ( red) strip in it. I ordered a third bulb but ups killed it and I haven't ordered another yet. I usually dose API leaf zone with the weekly water change and very recently...

Holy cow! Nice tank!

Looks really good to my eye! Amazing deep blue color on your fish, the black makes him pop :)

Just some pics of our lil 45 gal community

I've had these two banana plants in my community tank for months now. They go through the oddest cycle. They grow like crazy then just as quick one piece ( maybe a leaf, maybe the banana roots, what ever it feels like at that time) goes transparent and dies.... I'm clueless as to why. Any ideas?

Unfortunate news. We lost Lady. The female blue ram I got to befriend Skeeter the electric blue ram. Everything was fine last night, the two have gotten along splendidly. Normal behavior at feeding time this morning, then an hour later when we were having breakfast, we noticed she was on her...

Hey all, I've read up a bit on using co2 for planted tanks, but no real explanation for figuring out just how much plant life is needed in a tank in order to require a co2 setup to thrive? Here is a pic of my current community tank, its a 45L. Should I be thinking about co2 at this point?

I have a 10 gal with two dwarf puffers and two otos. Tank is cycled, been with fish for about a month now, no health issues. From the beginning one puffer was a lil bigger, ate more, and grew faster. Didn't think much of it cause the lil one acts normal and eats everyday. In the last couple days...

Thank you all. I certainly did not complain when my wife brought him home. He is usually very bright, but went near neon when the lady entered the tank :). I have a fuzzy pic of him waiting by the bag for her too.

Here is Skeeter showing off for his new lady.

Thank you for both your prompt answer and your proper spelling. Btw, held off on the apistogrammas for the moment. The ones they had gotten were very young and all female. I did get a girlfriend for our ram though :)

Thank you guys :)

Hey all, we have a 45 long community tank with an aquaclear 70 on it. Current stock is 7 serpae, 4 peppered cories, five amano shrimp, 1 dwarf gourami, and one electric blue ram male. We definatly feel the ram ( Skeeter) needs a gal, so we put in a requests at our lfs. They called today and...

Greetings all. Been lurking here for a while. Finally signed up for forum a lil bit ago, felt like I should probably say something. A bit about me, I'm a 28 year old man with a young family ( lovely wife and two small kids, 3 and 1 ) in N.VA. I grew up in a house with sw tanks. My parents...
