Wow making me rethink Blyxa. How often do you vacuum your sand substrate tanks normally? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What I have been doing with my Python is I have the water bed adapter in my sewage drain (make sure you have the bottom drain connector open) and I suck on the end that goes to the sink. Doesn't take much to get the water flowing. That way I don't have my mouth on something that had fish water...

I will have to check the tap tonight. I tested it awhile ago and had no issues but I know things change. When I did a large wc last night it lowered my nitrite so I assume tap is fine. The newest update is my nitrite was back to zero this morning. I was going to skip a feeding but decided to...

I am using pool filter sand. My ammonia was normal when I tested a few days ago and today. What is interesting is two days ago before I did a few huge wc to lower my nitrates I had maybe .25 or .5 nitrites so assumed that my nitrates were to high slowing the conversion process. But two days...

I have a fully planted tank that has been running for a few months with no issues. Recently I had my first fish die and tested the water and had a small amount of nitrite and what looks like over 80 nitrates. I do weekly water changes but have been fertilizing and one of the elements is...

I personally dose separate. Have two different dosing bottles with the day schedule on each so I can remember. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I believe I read on TPT that the price will be similar to the planted+ but I agree looks interesting depending on price. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It is a water pressure issue I think. When I hook it to a sink it is in a sink in my basement and my tank is on the first floor. I have about 50 psi at my sink not sure what others have. I am sure the 50 foot line doesn't help much. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have noticed poor suction on my Python as well. I have stopped using the sink to create a suction and have the line running into my sewage sump in the basement and create the flow with a bulb and find I get much better suction then when hooked to a sink. I still hook it up to the sink to fill...

It looks pretty cool. I read it comes out in February. http://youtu.be/sw05kEdgBh4 Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hard to tell but looks like a pretty small tank for a pirana. http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/for/4835300619.html Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Interesting sounds like they send of runners in search of food. If they are content they just over grow my tank instead! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have the opposite problem mine grew out of control and i needed to remove them. I have co2 and light to med lighting. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I might have to split at the base my one large remaining sword. Maybe I need to start ignoring it to see if it gives me runners. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

If I cut all the leaves off and just plant the root bulb will it regrow? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have a few swords that just got to big and I had to remove all but one of them. They are growing extremely tall but I haven't seen them send out shoots so I could replace the large one with smaller ones. Any secret to this? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Here is my hood with 4 - 18 watt cfl bulbs. This is on a 30 inch length tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Looks great. My Rams are a lot more passive they know the rules not to touch my plants! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Is that trimmings or what you are putting in? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I use a calculator called "zorfox planted tank calculator" you should be able to google it. It will give you dry dosing and diy dosing. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I wonder if you need to work your way up to once a week. For example dose both 3x a week then 2x etc so the fish get use to it. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
