Does anyone have any recommendations for a good high quality CO2 regulator that will last a long time, and hold accurate flow? Its been a long time since I've bought one, and back in the day it was basically Milwaukee or nothing. Now there are 50 brands and the prices vary wildly. When I do a...

A couple of those demand higher light as well, and when in the right conditions grow like crazy (i.e. weekly trimmings) in my experience. I think you'd be better suited picking a few species well suited to your conditions and wants vs. getting a package like that.

Don’t run into the door.

Hi all, Thinking about starting up a high tech planted tank again after several years with no tanks. Looks like there have been some changes in the planted tank community with new equipment vendors and options which is great... back in my hayday it was basically ADA or nothing if you wanted a...

With a couple of telescopes, a thermal electrically cooled Monchromatic CCD, and lots of time and effort :). There is a lot more about the equipment on my website claustonberry.com Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Also consider environmental factors - is the tank near a heat vent, a window, a door, a draft, etc? It doesn't take much fluctuation in the environment around the tank to cause temp swings - while the heat capacity of water is greater than air, it still will change temperature very quickly.

I too would be weary of application in a display tank with lots of coral, though a lot of people report success with direct application via a medicine dropper. I think if you get your PO4 in control, it will go a long way towards inhibiting the algae growth you are experiencing. I go a month...

I have heard of platys crossing with sword tails, and there are lots of pics out there of those results. Have heard of guppys and platys crossing. But not Mollys and Platys.

I am not sure what would cause that. There is nothing in your account settings that would prevent you from posting there. I'll report it to our tech folks, perhaps there is a glitch somewhere. I moved your breeding thread into the correct forum -- let me know here if you cannot reply there now...

Hi skang, I moved your thread into the breeding subforum. Most likely no, they will not crossbreed though they may try.

There are no restrictions on posting in the breeding forum. Perhaps you were trying to post in the classifieds forum by mistake? That is the only subforum that restricts posting. I have also verified that your account has no restrictions to posting there. Can you give it another try and let...

All I'll say is if this is the scare of a lifetime you have had a very fortunate life :) I hope your shrimp makes it, it sounds as if all will be well.

Posting there should be no different than posting a thread as you did here.

I also find it more pleasing. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
