I literally just put some new plants in, it must have have hitched a ride

Anybody know? Just plants and RCS in the tank.

Hey guys, I'm in Rockford, il looking to get some RCS and MTS. Nobody near me sells them. I'm open to other types of shrimp. Please let me know if you have some available as well as pricing. Thanks in advance!

I have moved it yes but the only dead spot in the tank is right under the filter

I have 2 moss balls I recently put in my tank. As you can see, one is healthy while the other may be beyond saving. Does anyone know why this would happen to only one? Is there any fixing this?

I can't tell they are tiny. It looks more like antennae if anything. Considering this is the first I've dealt with them can you give me any info? All I have in the tank currently are RCS, plants, and some pesky snails. Will this be harmful to the tank or any inhabitants? Where did it come from...

Oh it will. It's a very deep black I love it

Ya twenty pounds should be enough. What I did and would recommend doing is pouring about 10 lbs into a 5 gallon bucket.

The Tahitian moon sand is a very deep black. I just replaced my old sand with it about a month ago. Very easy to rinse. I say moon sand

Hey I'm looking to add a uv sterilizer to the pond this year. I've got a 1000 koi pond. I'd like something internal with a power head so I do t have to do any digging and plumbing on the current pipe work. I've checked out the model made by aquatop made for ponds. I just purchased the aquarium...
