just googled flame moss and it looks awesome! good luck with that. for the others i'm not planning on making a carpet, but more so some moss balls semi trimmed to the smooth rocks that they are attached to.

yeah i plan to keep them semi trimmed to the shape of the rocks. kinda want some little puff balls. thanks for the trimming tip!

has anyone else done this with success?

This is my first attempt at any kind of plant. I used mesh from a craft store and wrapped some java moss to each rock with it. I will update with any problems or progress. Any general info on java moss is greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Synodontis euptera or synodontis nigrita would be my guess. Both look very similar and are very popular in fish stores. If is was labeled as lace catfish or synodontis lace is is probably nigrita. probably Synodontis euptera now that i look closer with the really high dorsal fin.

On the night I do my 90% wc to get my nitrAtes to a safe level do I not need to add anymore ammonia to keep the bb alive overnight until I add fish? Thanks.

haha yeah right as i said that i re read the bottle. Yeah ill just save it thank you for your help.

shook the H out of those bottles and no difference.

Thank you. I have aqueon water conditioner and prime. Should i avoid using prime during the cycle because it removes nitrites and ammonia?

I have been fishless cycling for just over 4 weeks now. have been following the Almost Complete guide to it from this forum almost to a T. For the past two weeks my ammonia has been getting eaten.(slowly at first and now within 12 hours) . My nitrites seem to be a bit lower they were off the...

I actually went to the LFS yesterday and talked to a guy who was suggesting I do some tanganyikan tank too, but he suggested i could get a half dozen haps(don't remember what kind he said) and then fill in the rest with some tanganyikans. Also he was pushing for me to use a buffer for my ph, but...

so is there any fish i can keep? ;)

what if I did rustys with tiger barbs and a small syno cat or two? If yes what kind of numbers would I be looking at?

Yeah i don't mind a black background, but i have a few friends with them and you can see anything floating in the water even bubbles which i find annoying. Also the blue brightened up the room a bit as I am using it for a piece of furniture not just a tank on a metal stand in my room or something.
