Alright great. Thanks for the help! One more thing lol, can I pull it up just enough that the rhizome is above the gravel but the roots are in it?

Okay, I'll try it and see what happens. This tank is also by a window (I know, not the best) but it receives a fair amount of sunlight from that too.

Okay let's see here. Lights: ZooMed F15T8; 5500k Tank Height: 21" Fertilizer: None given. Fish Load: 3 fish, more are planned. The thing is they've been planted like this for a while and have done well until now, is it because the rhizome in finally experiencing those effects? Also, on both...

Hello all. My Anubias plant has gotten some strange holes/streaks in it... Looks like the top layer of the leaf has degraded. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing it? https://imgur.com/gallery/HAhNlOv

Yeah it is

No problem! And what a coincidence because I have three fish tanks and a guinea pig too!

Just drop it straight in.

Sure thing!

1. Try cleaning the little spikes on the side of the bio wheel. 2. Cut a water bottle in half left to right. Then cut the bottom portion top to bottom in the middle. Then out that in front of the output of the filter.

Yeah it's been a week since my tank has started cycling and Ammonia is Zero but Nitrites and Nitrates are still sky high. Those bacteria will take longer to grow because they are second and third in the nitrogen cycle.

Yeah. The plants don't look too good right now but I think they are adjusting to submersed living. Or there could be a nutrient deficiency. But since it receives more than enough daylight I'll try turning the lights off during the day until the weather gets bad.

Don't worry... Fishless cycling is very simple. It's my first time doing it and I'm doing it for my planted 55. All you have to do is start with one dose of Ammonia (equaling about 5PPM) (5 drops per 10 gallons) and wait until that starts decreasing. At this point you want to keep the ammonia...

And the final images. I know the tank looks a little weird right now but I want to let the plants sit a bit before arranging them a better way. If anyone has any ideas... Why is the water wisteria turning black in some spots and the cabomba turning white? Is this normal for plants that are...

Those pictures seemed to have duplicated... Anyways here's some more finished pictures.

So I'm writing this a day later because the plants came at 6:30 P.M.! It took me over two hours to full get the tank set up and other then some minor melting, things seem to be going smoothly. Let's go back to when I got the packages. 60 pounds of eco-complete only gives you about 1.5" of...

After over a year of waiting and research, this tank is finally being put together! You can see the original thread here: JonoDatInvento's First DIY Stand: 55 Gallon Planted Aquarium Stand - Aquarium Advice - Aquarium Forum Community But here are some photos: The original tank is being...

My goodness... Has it been a long time OR WHAT!? This project is starting back up! I'll probably start a different thread after a finish the stand since this is already 5 pages long... But today I'll be finishing the rebracing and resealing of the 55 gallon. Being 25 years old, it's always...

Cool! That's a change from algae pellets.

Okay thanks. I've heard a little bit of cucumber is also an enjoyable treat for them.

Reason I'm asking is some places it says every other day and most of the time it doesn't say anything at all.

Yeah it does. Thanks all. How often should I feed them their staple food (i.e. catfish pellets)?

Okay. Anyone else? I still have a bunch of time to decide on which catfish I want...

Don't worry, I have done my fair share of research. I know that the staple of their diet are sinking catfish wafers and algae wafers, and you can give them frozen bloodworms, but how often do you feed them each item?

Okay. I'll check those out. I also found out the tank was made in 1992 so resealing it sounds like a good idea.

Well, when I get enough money for the project, I'm going to replace the bracing ($30) and do a leak test. If everything goes well, I'm going to use that fish tank. If not, well, at least there's not 55 gallons of water on my carpet!
