Is there anyone who can help me with a red flame sword question? I have had the plant for about two months and the leaves have been steadily growing from the base of the plant. Last week, however, a stalk shot up and has what appears to be two smaller plants toward the top. As you can see in the...

I am new to planted aquariums. I cycled a 29 g moderately planted tank and have good water parameters. No ammonia or nitrites and I run between 10-20ppm nitrates with a 6.5 pH. I have four False Julii Cory Cats and I have a question about their behavior. Is it normal for them to swim up the side...

Good morning all! After a week and a half of a nitrite spike (off the chart) and minimal (5ppm) nitrates, that changed today. Nitrates were a solid 40ppm and nitrites were a weak 1ppm. My question is....since nitrates are reading higher now, is my nitrite spike more than likely finished? Sent...

I tried to start cycling last weekend but I think I dosed ammonia too high and it hasn't budged. I just wanted to know...

I am new to the hobby and I began cycling my first tank (29g; planted) on Friday, January 23, and planted it on Saturday, January 24. I was not expecting to see any changes for a long time, but as of yesterday I am getting rid of about 3ppm ammonia per day (I have been dosing to 4ppm)...

I am brand new to the forum and to this site. My wife and I just started cycling our first tank Friday night and planted it (in part) Saturday. I look forward to learning as much as I can from all of you experienced aquarists! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
