When I used DIY co2, I hate much better luck getting bubbles with a Limewood airstone. They produced fine micro bubbles which my impellor thanked me for.

Hello, I'm about to upgrade my lighting for my 75 gallon FW planted tank... I have done some looking around and decided upon either the, Current USA Orbit 48" 4 x 65 or Coralife FW Aqualight 48" 4X65Watt They both look nice and I cant decide. Does anyone out there have these fixtures and...

Coming back to this wonderful community. Been about a year or so, and after a move to a new house I finally got my tank setup again. My 29 gallon is now gone, and my FW planted additction will be only in my 75G.

Thanks for the replies :) Nothing in particular... One of the old ones, included one that was primarily black or dark blue space instead of white; cant remember :D

I cant seem to find the option to change the color scheme of the site. I've searched the UserCP with no luck. This whiteness is hurtin my eyes :eyes:

The first one looks like a healthy acorus calamus

I like the fin highlights. Very nice fish.

75 Gallon. :) (Update) Been a while since an update. A lot of things have happened. My Glosso was eaten by my White Mollie or one of the Platies. I kept losing the BBA battle with a few plants. The Cabomba, Egera densa & Hydrocotyle verticillata. The swords slowly melted away. Lack of proper...

Thats a beautiful tank gfink. The growth in 2 weeks is great.

When I did my 38 with flourite a while back.. the brownish water cleared to 50% the next night, and almost all gone the night after. I put in my hornwort after the first day, and filled it with nutrient sucking plants after that. :)

Looks nice after the haircut. The Elatine Triandra must have grown in very well. I picture cherry shrimp climbing all over that wood. :)

That off to a great start. I really like the look of the PFS up front, and can bearly see the wall. Moss would look nice in the stump.

I made a Wood Canopy and I used 3 dual T12 shoplight strips over my 75. (Hydro bill :) ) Then replaced the bulbs with Phillips Daytime Deluxe 6500k bulbs. In total the cost cost about $50-60. And theoretically I'm getting 3.2wpg. You could go with 2 dual strips giving you about 2wpg if you dont...

I love the color you get. Very vivid The Samulus valerandi looks really nice. :)

That sucks Rich. Sorry about the losses. Hope the Big Gold one makes it.

I remember seeing a pic a while back. This one is Bushy, yet still amazing. Nice :)

I would always keep at least 3-4 inches of rhizome 'Stem' Tie it to wood. rock or on the substrate. You can cut a smill slit in a healthy part of the rhizome. a new rhizome will grow out. Dont cut more than one slit at a time.

Grows really slow. My leaves grew to 9 from 5 in about 4 months In a low light setup

Lookin Good. The Rock looks nice. Keep that Mushroom alive. :)

Never used of seen one but these guys sells a book on how to construct one I believe. The Fishighway http://fishighway.com

I like the new layout. The branch shaped wood will look sweet when its mossy. Which ground cover are you leaning towards? Nice Work. :)

Cutting it is not fun, do it on a concrete floor. Home Depot or any Big Box improvement store sells pre cut sheets of Acrylic, Lexan and Plexi in various sizes. Multiple seperate pieces might work better if you want it curvy or else you'll need some pins or rocks or something to hold its shape...

My daughter liked the "Loach Races" my pair performed in the tank. They zipped back and forth switching the lead. Although I've never tried it... I've read that dropping a small leaf of lettuce in the tank overnight works sometimes. The snails crowd up on it, and you just pull the piece of...

I recently recieved my 50 Lbs of Turface MVP that I wish to add to my tank.. after housing my fish and plants elsewhere temporarily. It is a 75 Gallon. The tank has been setup for about 2 months. It currently holds 5 bags of flourite (90 lbs) giving me about 3" of bed. I would like to know if...
