Back at it again with a 12g, this time a "long" (pun intended) time favorite tank size I've always wanted but couldn't justify... That is, until now, the Mr. Aqua 12g long has arrived. In low iron high clarity glass to boot!! :) After selling a few things I accumulated in the hobby, I was able...

Up for sale is one of my favorite planted tank lights (I've grown some amazing plants with it). It's in great working condition with normal cosmetic wear that's hardly noticeable. I verified it's working and the pic below was taken 8/26/2017. I've been out of the hobby for a while and this has...

Hey AA community, need some help. Just want to get some feedback to those using Eco Complete, specifically the black variety, in their planted tanks? Good or bad? I've used it in the past, like 4 years ago, and I had decent experience in both low tech and high tech. However, I've always used...

Hey AA community, I'm back! After a looong hiatus and moving around a couple of times, I finally settled in my new place and decided to revive my ADA 60p cube garden. Some of you that got to know me through this great hobby can attest to my appreciation and passion for planted tanks. While life...

Hey everyone... Since my original thread of this tank, it's been a year since I won this kit (from SevenPorts John) and I FINALLY planted it today :) Before I dive in to the planted details, here's a little info on this tank. So here are the specs: Tank: Mr. Aqua 3 Gallon Mini Rimless Tank...

Hey all.. Got inspired through some discussion in the Planted tanks section to try some air plants. Had an old halfmoon sitting around. Added some Bromeliads and an orchid. Waterfall/filtration provided by a Tetra Whisper 10i. Check it out: https://youtu.be/r2GiVm7o--I

RAOK (random acts of kindness) for a (1) dense golf ball sized portion of what's a majority of algae-free Peacock Moss. I say majority because there may be pieces of other mosses in it such as flame, mini fissidens, and subwassertang. To win, simply reply with a post starting with numbered...

Hey everyone... have some mosses and equipment to off-load. Up for grabs: Fissiden Fontanus 2x2" (aka: phoenix moss) (approx. golf ball size) = $7 Flame Moss 2x2" = $7 Mini Xmas 2x2" = $7 Subwassertang 2x2" (approx. golf ball) = $6 AR 'mini' (alternanthera reineckii) ...... $2 per stem...

What's up AA! I want to document a mini experiment in my first attempt at a Wabi Kusa. It's basically a method of growing aquatic plants emersed, like the dry start method. Check out the following links if you want to learn more: About Wabi-Kusa Aquascaping | The Green Machine Wabi-Kusa...

Interesting article. Not directly related to planted tanks per se. But the principles of efficiency, effectiveness, and the future of LEDs in plant growth lighting are starkly similar to that of our hobby. Lettuce See the Future: Japanese Farmer Builds High-Tech Indoor Veggie Factory - GE...

If a red tiger lotus bulb got covered by accident and the leaves shortly died after, could the bulb re-sprout new leaves and come back to life if moved? Or is it most likely dead at this point?

No, I didn't get another tank to feed my MTS condition! LOL Just spotted this interesting looking fluval edge. Being a first gen fluval edge owner (at my parent's house) and a planted tank enthusiast, I found the planted version in this website to be quite enticing (maybe not green color). I...

DOUBLE POST... Please delete this thread. Sorry!

What's up AA!!! So I got excited with the release of the new Ecoxotic E-Series (here) and was able to snatch one up for my 60F. I was pretty pleased with running dual Current Sat+ on the 60P, I thought this would be awesome to try this out and replace my Ray2 (which I'll most likely sell)...

Just arrived yesterday at my place. Snapped some pics for my unboxing last night. I really like the packaging :) I will write some initial impressions the more I play with it. But so far, comparing it to my Current Satellite LED+, it is an improvement in performance and generational innovation...

What's up AA! I'm back again with another episode of MTS (multiple tank syndrome)!!! I promised myself that I wouldn't "buy" another tank until I finish school and buy a house... but what can I say, I didn't buy the tank... I WON IT! :) So I guess that's one way to find a loophole. Anyways...

Finally got my full carpet of UG. I'm so thrilled and proud of her ("the tank"), I just had to post this picture :)

Whether it be SW or FW, full tank shots, interesting and creative shots, livestock, or just some nice photo you'd like the share (i.e. pets, vacation, etc.), if you have a DSLR or Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera (ILC), lets see the pics! :brows: Showcase those photo skills or learn some...

Got my (late) xmas present in the mail today... it's also going to be for my photography course I'm taking next session. Anyways, it's the nx300. Don't know how to take pics yet outside of Auto. But took a couple test shots today on auto, thought they looked nice...LOL

Just an FYI.... If you're looking for a good LED light for your planted tank, I spotted cyber Monday deals on Amazon for the 24" and 30" Finnex Ray 2's. There's also a Fugeray model being offered up for discount, too (forgot the size). The sale operates as a lightning deal in which they'll...

I haven't really heard of Aquaponics until now. Found this interesting looking tank that creates a mini eco-system in your house. Check it out! More info below: ADI's Aquaponics Filter! EcoQube | Support Us On Kickstarter!

Anyone see these guys (Empire Gudgeon, Hypseleotris compressa) in the states? I searched online to only find mention of them overseas.

Just found out that GLA is clearing out their high quality aquascaping tools. Made from tungsten steel. For example, the nude and wave scissors used to be $50 earlier this year... now they're only $15! I emailed them and spoke with Orlando. The reason they're on clearance is "We have a...

This little plant was a hitchhiker in some other plants I got. I've had it for a while and it hasn't grown much. It's super tiny... smaller than my anubias petite. It's either a really small plant or it just haven't grown due to living in a low tech setup. Any clues?

Well alrighty then... Finally getting my ADA 60P Build underway. I honestly didn't expect on getting this tank but a lot of things fell in to place to make it happen. (1) I got a good deal on the tank [discount + gift] (2) I have extra "stuff" laying around from other builds (3) ADG's sale on...
