I ran across a printable form that keeps track of water chemistry, water changes, temp, etc. I think it was called AquaLog Entry form.....anyone have something to link an entry form like that in this discussion area? Obviously I'm not good with Excel! :banghead:

My 20 gallon planted tank has had one or two hitchhiker snails that come with new plants. I can handle a few by squishing them, but a week ago I bought a lily that freaked me out with hundreds of tiny snails, even after I rinsed the crap out of the tuber and leafs. I gave up smashing them...

A friend gave me some generic water lily bulbs, and I'm not sure if I plant them what appears to be root side down or sideways up or on end. I've been told all 3 ways work - that can't be....any opinions?

I've been going to only a couple of real fish stores over the last 20 years, The Fish Store in Ravenna (now in Lake City), and the Aquarium Co-Op, in Edmonds WA. I am thankful to Google for finding this little hole-in-the-wall 2 miles from my home. Large selection of fish and plants as well as...

I noticed in the last 6 days my GH had doubled from 75 to 150 ppm. The alkalinity (KH) has gone from 40 to 70 ppm. During this time I've done two 15% water changes (20 gallon long) and only addition was 1.6 ml of Flourish. All other test results have been totally normal. I did my last water...

I chose a 20-long tank because one can be creative in aquascaping mainly. I've used in the past (& still have) a AquaClear 20 & just bought a Fluval (AquaClear) 30. I started out the 20-long tank using the Fluval 30, with the flow control at maximum. I know it's rated for 150 gph, but I'm...

I have a 20-long tank that's about a month old now with a fair amount of plants and 20 cardinal tetras. This is embarrassing to ask, but it's been 45 years since any math classes. I'm making 3 gallon water changes 1-2 times per week to keep nitrates down. Flourish dosing says to add 5 mL to...

I have a 20-long, which is obviously 12" deep and a Stingray Razor Thin Light 30", therefore basically a medium to low light growing tank. Since the tank is only 3 weeks old the background plants are coming along s-l-o-w-l-y. I've been told that there are no small foreground plants (that he...

Day one of my 20-long was Feb. 5th. Added water, sand/gravel. 2 days later added plants & .5 ml of Turbo Start. Between 2/10 & 2/27, I slowly added 6 Cardinal Tetras, 10 Amano shrimp, and lastly 6 Endlers. I have done 2 partial water changes (10% ea). I have a Fluval 30 hang on back filter...
