I am growing moneywort like crazy in my 29H tank. I am only running 2 perfecto strip lights and used a mix of gravel and flourite with a rena xp2 filter. Anacharis has done well too in my tank, but the moneywort has really taken off. I also use some Seachem Flourish tabs in the bed too. Jon

As some of you may remember, my previous 20 gallon tank had a minor misfortune with a peice of pvc pipe and the resulting 2 inch hole it created. I purchased a 29 gallon tank, so I could still use the hood I made as well as the stand. Here are two pictures I took. They arent the best, but...

As some of you know my 20 gallon tank had a minor accident two weeks ago. I have set up my new tank, a 29 gallon tank. I decided that this is going to be a planted tank. I decided to use 1 bag of flourite mixed with my existing black gravel. After getting everything rinsed and put in I ended...

Just thought I would post an update on the tank situation. I finally picked up a 29 gallon from petsmart. (at least my hood and stand will still work) It was in brown trim, but that was easily fixed. I spent friday night painting the background and the botttom trim peice with some Rustoleum...

As some of you know my 20 long had a minor accident on saturday night, so I decided to put together my equipment list for my planted tank. Disasterhttp://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=95023 Since I just finished my hood for the 20L I decided to go with a 29 Tall, since it maintains...

Actually I didn't lose one fish. I keep all of my maintenance supplies in the room, so I was able to get about 8 gallons of water into my buckets. Michelle kept her hand on the hole to keep the fish from being sucked out. I am still trying to dry the carpet all the way, but the fish are okay...

And the final picture she made me take.

Lets say this past month has been one crazy month for my freshwater tank. First Ick shows up and kill my two angel fish, then tonight happens. I spent the afternoon finishing up the final paint on my diy hood for my 20 long. Its about 8:30pm when my fiancee comes home and we are in the room...

I have had 3 of these barbs since they were just a mere 2cm long. I have 2 males and 1 female, I originally started with 6 but lost 3 of them after 6 months. Now it has been almost 4 years and the female is consitantly full of eggs and her and male are doing the spawning dance all the time. My...

Just a little update on my situation. I raised the temp slowly over a three day period to 87 and the fish seemed to get a little better. On the 10th I lost my smaller angel fish and at the same time noticed that my larger angel was really struggling to swim around and was hanging out on top...

First off, let me describe my tank. I am running a 20 Long. The livestock consists of 3 chinese barbs, 2 angelfish, 5 glow light tetras, 1 cory cat, 1 rubber lip pleco and some small snails. This tank has been running for over 4 years now with no major problems. I am running a penguin 100 bio...

Thanks for the info guys. As for the tree root it is an artificial peice that I would love to get some moss to grow on it. After searching some more, I came across the info on the brazilian sword not being aquatic freindly. This tanks has been up for over 4 years so I am ready to give it the...

I guess to start with should describe my current setup. I am currently running a 29 Long with an UG filter and a Pengiun Bio Wheel filter. I am using black coated epoxy gravel and the usual array of plastic plants with a nice huge tree root structure in the middle of the tank. I am running...
