Hey there, I've got a 300 g jar of Potassion-P that I won't be needing. I'm looking to trade for something related to freshwater planted tanks, or maybe some Repashy Superfood (Shrimp or Soilent Green preferably). Let me know what you've got! Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

So I was at a LFS today, and I was looking for Seachem's Flourish Potassium. The guy didn't have it, but he recommended something for the reefers from Brightwell Aquatics called "Potassion-P". It contains potassium chloride and potassium sulfate. He said 'Potassium is potassium'. Is this a...

So my plan of a 40 B has been shut down by my wife... Too deep to fit in the space. That leaves me with significantly fewer options. I definitely want to upgrade to a larger tank from my 29. That leaves me with a couple options, a 40 L or a 55. The plan is to keep it planted and use CO2 and PPS...

I've been keeping a large amount of Blyxa japonica alive from a big trim, and it needs a new home. $20 gets you a very large amount of Blyxa shipped right to your door! This works out to about $5 per bunch, which should yield about at least 5 stems each (conservative estimate). I want to get...

I've got a little bit more than a golf ball's worth of Java moss. A great haven for shrimp! I'm looking for $7 shipped in a bubble mailer. If you live someplace cold, let me know and we can work something out! Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

I've got a ton of Blyxa again. I love this plant! These will come out of a high tech aquarium, but do equally well in my smaller low tech tank. The price for 10 plants is $20, which includes shipping (usually about $6). I've got a couple groups of 10, so send me a PM! Definitely not...

Got a good deal on a gel pack of downoi. Only used about half. PM me your address and I'll ship it tomorrow morning! Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

Hey guys! Figured it was high time I got myself a tank thread. I did a little rescape action tonight, and I've been recovering from a post-vacation mini-cycle and wanted to share. Left side: Right side: Driftwood with moss and nuked BBA: Full tank shot: Enjoy! Definitely not wasting...

I've got a lot of blyxa growing in my tank and I'd like to share it! $1 per stem. Shipping will be $5. Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

Hello all, I've got quite a bit of blyxa growing in my tank and I'd like to trade for some other plants. I'm looking for a few stems of corkscrew val, but I can consider some other offers. I'd also be willing to trade some plants for Amano shrimp. PM me if you're interested in some blyxa...

Ok guys, it's starting to get crowded in my tanks. I'd like to give these plants a new home! Here's what I've got: Small AR plants (not AR mini) Small Anubias nana Amazon sword Water wisteria Bacopa carolina Rotala rotundfolia Pogostemon erectus Blyxa japonica Dwarf sag Pm me if anything...

I've got a bag of Dwarf Water Lettuce that I removed from one of my tanks. This stuff grows pretty quick and definitely sucks nitrates out of the water. I'm asking $10 shipped. Who wants some? Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

So I really like the look of Star Repens, but I've tried to plant it a couple times with no luck. It seems like they always melt and the stems float off. What's the trick to making these things grow? I've got ferts, good light, and I inject CO2. Full disclosure: I have cories in my tank, and I...

Hey guys, I got a few crowns of dwarf sag a couple months ago. I have it in a low tech 10 gal tank with Eco Complete substrate and CFL lighting. Ferts are limited to Mebbid's root tabs and dosing with glut. The plants are not healthy and not reproducing. I originally got this plant to provide a...

I came home from work today to see one of my cory cats floating upside down in the tank. No real movement, perfectly upside down. After about 30 seconds or so, he would flip over and head to the bottom. He's been doing this all night! Anyone have any ideas about what's going on? Sent from...

Does anyone have a suggestion for a decent beginners set of aquascaping tools? I'm currently using my hands and an old pair of hair cutting scissors. Thanks! Definitely not wasting time. Nope.

Hey everyone. I got the crazy idea to change my substrate out as I was using plain gravel. I wanted to use something a little more nutritious for my plants, so I put in Flourite Black Sand. I also wanted to change my plants up. So, without further ado, here's the pics: Before shot Plants and...

Has anyone heard anything about the fine grade Eco-Complete? I've been searching high and low online and in stores and I can't seem to locate it anywhere. I saw on another forum that it might be discontinued. Anyone heard anything? I'm trying to order some from my LFS. In the case he can't get...

Hello again, aquatic enthusiasts. I'm looking to change my substrate from black(ish) gravel to something a little more suited for plants. I'm thinking Eco-complete (fine) will be a good choice as the grains are very small. I've never changed substrate before so I'm just looking for any advice...

Hey guys, I've got some plants I'm looking to offload. My stock is as follows: 2 Amazon Swords. These plants reach the top of my 29 gallon tank. Many Bacopa Stems. Plants are healthy, have purplish tops. A few Anubias Nana. I've got various sizes from small to large. PM me if you want...

Ok guys, I need some professional help (you know what I mean). I came back from vacation and my scape is a little out of hand. I know that my aquascaping skills are amateur at best. Here's the proof: I feel like my swords are too big. I love the look of them but three is too many. I might take...

Hey guys, My tank always had a ph of 7.6-7.8. I have two nerite snails which seemed to be doing well. I started injecting CO2 which has taken my ph down to about 6.8. I know that acidic water isn't the best for snails, but I want to know if this will be an issue. They haven't been as active...

Hey guys, I have been using my CO2 system for a couple weeks now and I've got a question: are all needle valves super touchy? If I turn it 1/16 of a turn, it's the difference between .5 BPS and 1000 BPS. Is this typical, or should I look at replacing this part? Any suggestions on replacements...

Hello again plant experts, I have a planted 29 gal which has been up and running for 3 years. I've been doing some minor rescaping lately and trying to get some of my sword plants to recover from previous poor care. Two of the swords have taken off and look great. One looks ok, and the other is...

Hey guys, Just curious if anyone has had any success with Tiger Barbs. I always hear about how aggressive they are and how they ruin a peaceful tank. Specifically, I'm theoretically stocking a future 75 gal tank. I'm thinking about an Asian theme, with plenty of plants and a good stock of...
