Hi guys, Just wanted to share my low tank that I setup last November, with the layout almost complete. I'm pretty satisfied with this tank (first time ever), and hope I can take good care of it for a while. However my hemianthus cuba is turning a bit yellow, maybe due to high light and a lack...

Hi guys, so recently my moss started turning brown. Tank details as per below. 160L T5 x 36w x 4 (giesmann+arcadia) 10 hours per day 3bps co2 Supplement with flourish line (iron+potassium+trace+phosphorous+nitrogen+excel) 8 fish + 6 amano shrimps I'm thinking it has to do with some kind of...

Hey guys, So I'm wondering if anyone has a procedure before introducing newly bought plants before introducing it into your aquarium. The reason I ask is because sometimes the plants you get can carry algae, which would be a disaster. If anyone has any ideas on what to do before planting, it...

Do rocks raise KH? Maybe certain kinds? I've been reading at EI and PPS-PRO dosing methods but unfortunately they don't sell it here in Korea so I'm currently using ADA fertilizers which is too expensive since I'm dosing 7 tanks right now. I'm wondering if Tropica Plant Nutrition is a better...

Hi guys, So I spent the last 30 minutes checking the water parameters to decide whether to purchase a RO unit. My tanks are all heavily planted with around 3wpg. Water Parameters PH - 7.0 KH - 2 GH - 4 NH3 - 0 NO2 - 0 NO3 - 5 PO4 - .25 How are my water parameters? Everytime I do a water...

Thanks for the insight!

Hi guys, I got this fuzzy hair growing all over my plants. What could be causing this? Tank is 90x45x45cm (50 gallons) 4 x T5HO 144 watts total, 3WPG Substrate - ADA Aquasoil Pressurized CO2 Last water parameters 6.5 KH 6.5 GH 15 NO3 0.25 PO4 PH 7 Any help would be appreciated.

Your opinion is also well noted. Maybe I should dose half before work and half after work. :)

So thats two things I need to learn from you, aquascaping and photography. You take some good pics, may I ask what camera, shutter speed, aperature and lens you are using to take these pics?

Either way, the verdict is to fertilize once I get home! Thanks guys

That light looks amazing. Was the shot taken with long exposure or does it look that bright in real life too? I'm interested to get one if it is!

I wonder what the light for that first tank is. Doesn't look like a standard aquarium lighting fixture.

Okay makes sense! I have been doing that anyways so that is good news. Should anyone else have a different opinion, kindly let me know. Thanks bshenanagins

This is to address to the OP, please tell us your experience with Purigen as I am also considering buying some. Especially interested in the water clarity aspect. Thanks

Hi guys, So I go off to work at 6:15am and get home around 6:00pm. I usually have the lights come on at 4pm and off at 12am and CO2 on around 2pm and off at 10pm. Do you guys think it's better I fertilize before leaving for work or after I return? Thanks in advance!
