    I bought too many plants for my aquarium!!

    I made a similar mistake, but didn't know any better... Half my plants died for lack of nutrients until I bought Flourish and at least now things have stabilized. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Plants keep dying

    We have a 25 gallon tank, with 5 adult guppies and a bunch of fry. When we set it up, we intended it to be a full planted tank. I stocked it with half a dozen cabomba bunches, a couple of vesuvius plants, and 4 moss balls. At the beginning, for about first 6 weeks, cabombas were overgrowing...

    Help convincing stepmom!

    STUPID parents 16-20 fish in a 40 gallon is a bit much I think. We have a 25 gallon with 7 and I think that is a good balance. Sure some fish need to live in groups, but not all do. Also not all fish are compatible with one another. Would you be comfortable living with 20 people in a 400 sq...

    When and how to clean the filter

    I have this filter (100 gph): It has been almost a month since we got it. I am just wondering - at what point am I supposed to clean it ? When do I replace the media ? How do I get it out of the tank without it dumping its contents into the water ? Thanks all! Sent from my iPhone using...

    Do I really need to change 10% water weekly ?

    I have a fermentation DYI bottle doing CO2 injection. From what I have read it is nearly impossible to overdoses your tank on co2 from a sugar/yeast process. But I understand your point... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
