I made a similar mistake, but didn't know any better... Half my plants died for lack of nutrients until I bought Flourish and at least now things have stabilized. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ok, so I need some details as to which fertilizer. I was at the local fish store yesterday and couldnt figure it out. The owner offered me to try Ph level first - working through that. Can you link me to the specific fertilizer you use ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

i should add it is a fresh water tank. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nutrition may be an issue. What do you recommend ? As for photo period, we run the lights from 10am till 10pm. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We have a 25 gallon tank, with 5 adult guppies and a bunch of fry. When we set it up, we intended it to be a full planted tank. I stocked it with half a dozen cabomba bunches, a couple of vesuvius plants, and 4 moss balls. At the beginning, for about first 6 weeks, cabombas were overgrowing...

Will tetras hurt adult guppies ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They are not even trying to hide and adults ignore them... Should I get a few more males ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have a 25 gallon tank. My 7 year old wanted to have guppies in it, so we got 2 males and 3 females. Since then the females gave birth to a bunch of fry, of which currently 6-7 teenagers survive. There is 1-3 day old fry swimming around. So, first question is at what point can one tell the...

A few hours, even a day or two, wont harm them... dont freak out. Happened to me a couple times, no big deal. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

STUPID parents 16-20 fish in a 40 gallon is a bit much I think. We have a 25 gallon with 7 and I think that is a good balance. Sure some fish need to live in groups, but not all do. Also not all fish are compatible with one another. Would you be comfortable living with 20 people in a 400 sq...

I have this filter (100 gph): It has been almost a month since we got it. I am just wondering - at what point am I supposed to clean it ? When do I replace the media ? How do I get it out of the tank without it dumping its contents into the water ? Thanks all! Sent from my iPhone using...

Well, one of our guppies gave birth - we have a couple of small fry in the cabombas hiding from the adults. Very cute :) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ok and generally speaking - if I were to go away for a week, what is a good approach ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We are going away for three days, just wondering what is a recommended automated feeder ? I don't trust those dissolvable piramids... Any thoughts ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have a fermentation DYI bottle doing CO2 injection. From what I have read it is nearly impossible to overdoses your tank on co2 from a sugar/yeast process. But I understand your point... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

We had a new tank for two weeks now. We had fish in it for a week. It is a fully planted tank. At night we run air pump, during the day air pump is off but lights are on. We are pumping co2 24/7. Every day we do water quality readings. So far, ammonia has been around 0-0.5ppm,no2 at 0, and...

In the background are cabombas and Vesuvius. Some moss balls in the front . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah , when I was a kid I used to have a 60 liter tank with lots of lush plants, so I wanted to recreate that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Almost ready for fish. Plants came today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ideal we would like to build a planted aquarium. I have a co2 reactor prepared for when we plant. We have a filter, etc. I see there is some debate as to whether an airpump is needed or not. Would in theory lifting the exhaust from the filter above the water so it is aerated be enough ? Will it...

Ok, so our new 25 gallon tank is progressing well. We ordered the plants and they should come by the end of the week. So, now to cycling. I would like to get bacterial starter for the filter and I am wondering if someone can recommend a product. I saw someone mention ceramic cylinders infused...

Could someone recommend a place where we can buy some plants ? I am not that excited about selection of plants at local petsmart and aquaridice around here. I found Aquarium Plants on google. Has anyone order from them ? Regards, Oleg Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yeah it is brand new. Well, we filled it up, put the heater and filter in, substrate and gravel. We are working on cycling it now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I did some math. A 25 gallon tank is supposed to have 200 lbs of water plus rocks. That just terrifies me.

What amazes me is what is holding the tank together ? It just looks so fragile and yet it is supposed to hold almost 200 lbs worth of stuff... Thanks for your advise. I know about cycling the tank before introducing fish, my daughter has a book and we went over it.
