I found this link on another board and thought I would post this on here. Maybe this will help clear up some confusion regarding the old "watts-per-gallon" rule and how it applies (or doesn't) to more modern light choices. Aquarium Lighting; Reef, Planted Light Information. PAR, Bulb, Watt...

Been away from the site for a while. Thought I would update a bit. Here is my current two tanks. Here is a pic of my 75g right before it crashed a few weeks ago. Didn't have my co2 setup correctly and started getting bba. It had only been setup for about a month in this pic. I did a major...

Looking for the following, POGOSTEMON HELFERI aka "downoi", http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/details.php?id=187 POLYGONUM SP. 'SAO PAULO' or 'Kawagoeanum', http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/details.php?id=243 and POGOSTEMON STELLATUS 'BROAD...

Anyone use a diatom filter or magnum with a micron cartridge to cure a ich outbreak?

I planted most of these last summer in a old farm pond next to my house. I used north american native aquatic plants with one exception. First is ludwigia glandulosa Next is L. repens Here is the only exception to the native plants. I really didn't expect this to live through the winter...

I got these last week and I'm trying to ID them still. I think this first one is either ammannia senegalensis or A. gracillis. It still has its emersed growth on the bottom. My guess on the next one is hygrophilia corymbosa 'compact'. I currently have H. corymbosa siamensis and the leaves...

Looking for some rotala wallichi, ludwigia inclinata "cuba", and elatine triandra. Have a decent size chunk of flame moss, some ludwigia palustris, ludwigia brevipes, and bolbitis heudelotti for trade.

What conditions (lighting, nitrate level, etc) is needed for good color in sunset hygro? I have mine planted in a 29gal with 2x55w CF bulbs and pressurized CO2. I dose per EI with the exception of nitrate which currently is at 10ppm. It is turning slightly pink but nothing like it should. Any...

I have a 29gal heavily planted tank that has nothing in it other than a SAE, a couple of ottos, and a few amano shrimp. I think it is just too boring looking so I want to add a nice school of... something. I can't decide on what to get though. I've looked at the LFS but nothing really stands...

I'm looking for some Rotala wallichi, R vietnam, and ludwigia sp. 'Cuba'. I have some flame moss, lobelia cardinalis, and many others I can trade with.

This tank has been setup for a while now and gone through several changes. Most of the changes I've been happy with but this last one just has not come together well. The tank just looks bland and has no form. It's just a jumbled mess. Here's the catch though, I don't want to get rid of any...

This weekend I took all my plants and substrate from my 20g long and put them in a new 29 gal. Now I have hundreds of baby plants popping up everywhere in the tank. This is the best pic I can get of them. 4 or 5 of them in the center of pic and one near the left corner. I have no idea what...

Going to myrtle beach in a few weeks and was wondering if there are any great fish stores in the area? Mainly looking for a place that sells a good bit of plants. I've ran a search on my GPS but didn't turn up that many pet stores in the area. Thanks in advance!

About a month ago I planted some clippings from L. glandulosa, L. repens, and L palustris in a small pond next to my house. Here is the growth so far. 1st is glandulosa Next is L palustris (right at the base of the cattail) and L repens (to the right of the cattail). Notice the similarity of...

I've had this plant for a long time but have never quite figured out what it is. It acts like glandulosa in my tanks, looks like it has a deficentcy. I was thinking maybe Ludwigia repens var "arcuata"?

I recently changed my sig, but now nothing is showing up. All the boxes are checked under the sig options in the user CP. What am I doing wrong?

Well, if you have a filter on the intake of a powerhead and you use this powerhead to mist your DIY CO2 always make sure the filter is clean and unobstructed. I have now learned this the hardway. The filter got clogged so the powerhead sucked all the air out of the DIY co2 bottles then continued...

Just wondering if anyone uses charcoal in thier filters? If not, why not?

I picked up a lace plant the other day. I was reading on it's requirements and it was said it needed a rest period after blooming to store nutrients. How do you know if that has already happened? I mean is there a point where maybe the plant looses it's leaves then you put it in a darker part of...

I was using this for a few weeks. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b207/peglegburnout/03032007.jpg I was getting pretty good CO2 levels according to my PH readings. As of yesterday I switched to just letting it get sprayed around the tank via the powerhead. I'm getting pearling several...

Anyone here grow this plant with hard water? If so have you ever experianced what appeared to be a calcium deficiency? I'm trying to solve this problem as I've had this plant for months and it has had what seemed to be a Ca deficiency. I have been adding 1/8tsp CaSO4 once a week with no results...

Has anyone successfully raised amanos? I have two females carrying eggs right now and was wondering if it is possible to raise the fry.

I've had a problem getting my co2 levels up in my 20 gal using the HOB filter as a diffusor. I thought I would try to make a reactor. It's powered by a maxi-jet 600 (160 gph). I couldn't really find anything like bio-balls to put in it, but I filled it 1/4 full of tile spacers. I have not had a...

Looking for some ricca to buy or trade for.
