Someone just showed me this calculator on plantedtank.net forums. Just wanted to share it. Rotala Butterfly | Planted Aquarium Nutrient Dosing Calculator

Thats awesome! That is exactly what I am hoping for as far as usage over time. As for comparing the 3 sites, GLA looks like the best bang for your buck. The aquariumferts site I showed you looks like they do a pre-mixed of the macros and have you add drops vs ml, do to potency differences...

The dark side has always called to me, and now I chose to listen...:vader: Thank you both for the responses and great info!:thanks: I have heard about both techniques, but am unfamiliar with their proper administration to a tank, since I have never done this. After reading both of your...

So I am finally ready to jump into the world of Dry ferts, and stop spending insane money on liquid ferts. Everyone says that dry ferts are the way to go, so Im hoping someone very knowledgeable on the subject, can point me in the right direction. I have always used Flourish Excel, Flourish...

So, I have finally acquired the tank of my dreams.. I got my 125 gallon, and am having a custom stand built for it as I type this. I have everything I need to get it set up and going, but since I will be trying to do Hi-Tec with CO2, I need to be sure I have proper lighting. I currently own 3...

Im setting up a second 75 gallon tank, and I was curious if anyone else out there runs 2 lights on theirs and how well does it work for you? Hoping this doesn't cause an algae explosion. I currently have the 24/7 Finnex Planted Plus SE and its not bad, but this new tank will be more High...

Lol not at all. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271801725580

Ive gotten all mine from eBay. Crap there was a deal that just expired to get $15 off of $75. You can get a 10lb for about $90.

I have this light on my 75, and recommend it. For med light tank, it will do just fine. My Jungle val, swords, and crypts all do nicely. Do not do the regular 24/7 model. The extra $15-20 for the SE is worth it. Just about all their new models of the Planted Plus series you can adjust. The...

Rummy's ftw. They are my go to. Love watching third checkered tails race across the glass

I love my bowfront, and that is the perfect tank to succumb to multi tank syndrome! Here is mine, and it's my only low tech tank, but it's my fave.

I use a basic atomizer from amazon. Similar to THIS one. Never thought it could be a diffuser issue. It always seems to work fine. How often do these things need to be replaced?

Both of these regulators have them built in. Thats pretty standard. So that is the same one I have. Here has been my issue with it, and its happened twice... I come to check on my tanks... No CO2 is bubbling. I assume the tank is empty, but its not. I start adjusting knobs to get flow and...

Bump?? :confused::confused: Really shocked no one commented on this. Maybe a simpler question would help. What regulator brand are you using on your CO2 system?? Do you like it? Was it expensive? Had any issues with it? :thanks::fish1::thanks:

Thanks. You have soaked stained wood before? I've done this with many other types of wood, but never a piece that someone used stain on. Not sure how long I should soak it to make sure it's 100% safe and chemical free.

I found an awesome piece of driftwood but it has been stained and used as an art piece. Is it possible to soak it for a long duration to leach our the oils that could harm fish? Thanks in advanced!

So I already own an Aquatek regulator. My thoughts on it are mixed, but its affordable and does the job. I have had 2 issues with it where it almost gasses my fish to death. Another option is the Green Leaf Aquarium route. I have not owned one and if you do, can you sell me on it? $200...

Yeah, may be stressed. How did you acclimate?

That is a bleeding heart tetra I believe. I have 7 of them. Does it have a red spot on the side of its body?

Like Champ said.. Replant everything I can in any of my tanks. If it's an overwhelming amount, I share it with my friends tank or put it on Craigslist for free.

I have done the 1/20 bleach water dip multiple times to kill snails when transferring plants and it took care of all the BSA on my Anubis species. Soak for 2 min, then transfer to water/vinegar solution. Do this a few times.

Thanks again Andy. What would be considered "medicated foods"?

So her weight has slowly come and gone, but now this spot under her eye has developed. This is very concerning. She has continued to eat though, so I guess that is somewhat positive. One thing I have noticed is I see her chase after air bubbles sometimes and eat them. Its not everyday, but...

Thanks for the reply Fresh. I should mention that this spraybar isnt terribly long, so it would maybe only cover 1/3rd of the backside of the tank. Thats why I decided to put it on the side. Im sure I could do a DIY version and make it much larger. For a $5 Ebay item, im not mad at the...

So I finally popped a spray bar on my 75g planted. I have 2 canisters hooked up to this tank, and decided to put the bar up against the right side facing the length of the tank.. Its got pretty strong pressure coming out of my output from a Marineland C360, so I angled it up slightly. I...
