    The tank theme you'd love to build

    People have such great themes. Some of us are more committed than others. (I'm in the less committed category despite my ambitions) I'm curious what kind of theme you would give a tank, and how it would play out. I'll start: I've always wanted to do a minute house setup. I'd put a frame for a...

    Fungal infection or cotton mouth?

    Flee reflex is entirely absent. I actually ran out of my ammonia test, so I guess I better buy more nowish. Nitrite is 0, nitrate is 20. Last week she got herself stuck in kuhli cove twice. Both times I got her out quickly, and each time she swam off normally. She has been resting on the...

    For Sale: Moneywort- Will Harvest

    I have an overabundance of moneywort. It's pretty great, and I'd like to share the wealth, as it were. I don't want to cut it up until there's a place for it to go. It's between 1/2 and a full gallon. I would trim just above the AR mini. There are snails in this tank, but the puffers...

    Snail Food and Mineral Rocks

    I'd like to help my snails have pretty, shiny shells. I've been reading around and am curious as to any insights about SunGrow (or any other) mineral rocks. I've also read that Ken's earthworm sticks are great for shiny shells. The problem is that wheat gluten is the third ingredient! Gluten...

    CO2 Check Valves

    What do you use? I'm having issues with the glycerin in the bubble counters getting into the tank. I would prefer to not switch to water. I know that gas/ fluid valves are out there, but I'm seeing something like $18 each. Is that the best option?

    What Moss?

    I got a handful of random Moss that included this bugger-- It's doing a little too well, and I can hardly keep up with removing it now. I've done some searches, but it doesn't really seem to match anything. What is it?

    Fluval Spec III ramshorn home

    It's in the mail. I bought it through an OBO auction on ebay -- offered an insultingly low amount and somehow won. I'm currently collecting the ramshorns from the 29 gallon. My trap is so effective it caught a guppy!

    Dumb. Splashless Bleach

    I just used splashless bleach to clean my quarantine tank. It is now sudsy. I'm assuming there are surfactants. How do I remove them? I was hoping to get new fish this week, so I want it to be in good shape. The main ingredient is sodium hypochlorite. I'm hoping heavy rinsing will do the trick.

    Utricularia graminifolia

    Have you guys worked with this plant? I saw it at Petco today- this Petco has really good plants- and I was very tempted to bring it home. This one looks pretty yellow, though. But such a cool plant! Aquatic *and* carnivorous! And apparently moderate lighting? I want it.

    Parasites and Reputation

    If a LFS sells you critters with parasites, do you stop patronizing? Or is it just one of those things. Saturday I brought home a handful of ramshorns and two kuhli loaches and put them in an effectively nuked tank for quarantine. I dosed the tank with Herbtana, which may or may not do...

    CO2 airline

    Is it better than regular PVC airline you get from any pet store? Or the polyethylene stuff from hardware stores?

    Recovery

    I put this tank back together on Sunday after treating for columnaris. During that time, the plants went in a five gallon bucket by the window. There are a limited number of hours in the day... I know I'm could have made better decisions about their care, but here we are. This is a 20 long...

    Your Quarantine

    What happens when you get new fish? Where do they go? How long? What do you feed? I've read boatloads of articles on what I *should* do, and I'm curious what other people on this forum actually do do.

    Is it TB? The puzzle comes together.

    I have two separate threads about the two fish who have had health issues this week. The first is a pregnant female guppy from the community tank. She had white tape-like poop and blew up like a balloon. I moved her to the quarantine tank on Tuesday. Today, this morning, I noticed what...
