I will be honest i dont understand your question completely. When you got the sword was it trimmed completely to the root??? ive only heard of Crypts being trimmed that way at purchase due to their high melting rate so im gonna assume you meant the few sprouts at the base of the plant. Now Im...

Very attractive plant with many varieties i own two of them my favorite being the red ozelot. I dont know the complete name lol

So in the near future i want to dirt my angel tank which is a 50g but its really tall which makes difficulty adding plants and/or maintaining them anyway. My question is can i make the the dirt layer as thick as i want without repercussions? I figure if i just made it deeper it may be easier...

I dont know if you strained it or soaked it before you added ot to the tank or not but based on my experience my first tank i added dry and capped with gravel...i noticed that everytime i added a new plant anytime i exposed the soil it exploded into my water. I experimented with the second tank...

Thats all i ever use so i can just say why i like it. I think it looks better. Ive heard that its easier for plants to root in gravel then sand and gravel allows the roots to breath. Using sand ive heard that methane gas can be created under the substrate and can be harmful to the fish...

Id say add the fish it definitely worked for me.

Im sorry everyone that wasnt done i went to close my phone and it sent i just didnt know it.....one sec ill edit theres much more

I have had fish for a little less then a year now. I have also learned about fish keeping aggressively and kinda feel as i have a lot of knowledge but I just made a huge mistake without thinking that almost cost the life of over 12 fish and let me explain. Two days ago i replaced my HOB...

Oh wow! That is amazing.....

May i ask what set up you did? Or a serious of pictures also would be extremely helpful!:)

:) thank you! Being a newbie plant obsessor i must say its my pride and joy of my 4 tanks. Certainly makes me feel good that i must be doing something right. I guess i just know im sitting on most of the equipment so i feel i should put them to use. I here a lot of discussion on here...

Really?? Your own wafers???? You mind sharing your idea's???

Before the questions are asked...my ferts are: Flourish-comprehensive from seachem. - I treat 1 Capful(5ml) every 40% change once a week or more. -stated for a 60gal tank so im overtreating All my root feeders im in between Jobs spikes and.... Miracle-Gro indoor food spikes...

My entire stand has been customized originally to house a reptile but lately has been converted to fish(no complaints) its been upgraded:) although as i said the co2 scares me and unfortunately i am a man on a tight budget. If i have to get all new equipment (minus the tank of course). Can...

Lol i understand no biggie....well here is what i got in case you didnt see my profile.....beer brewing was my first hobby so im pretty stocked with co2 accessaries ALTHOUGH after the tank i dont think it matches with aquariums lol.... No timer just a basic regulator with two gages...tank...

29 gallon

For some reason i agree it looks great on top of a tank....must be the pond look. Although my concern is my tank is IMO medium-heavily planted for the beauty and my nitrates are at .5ppm and im afraid they are gonna take away from my plants. I only have 4 marigold platys and 2 kuhli loaches in...

Just curious what peoples opinions are on duckweed and their existence in an aquarium?

I personally dont understand it but i have read that light intensity effects co2 levels so..... 29gT 2 T8 17w colormax 2 T5 14w colormax If its important at all heres a pic of the tank to show how heavily planted it is.

I really want to try my hands on co2 by im kinda scared to jump into it. I know it aint for beginners with the risk of killing your fish and all but i know it its amazing for plant growth and sometimes absolutely necessary. Well i own a 20lb co2 tank with a micromatic regulator but being an...

Im personally scared to use co2 im scared to kill my fish

Looks great for a first time.

Thanks everyone!

Oh yea im aware its way too high...i just wish i new why...i know it ain't my tank but I've tested her tank many times before the live plants and its always been low like 10ppm low or lower. She SWEARS she didn't do anything different and didn't do a PWC without the use of...
