Hey guys! So this is my low-tech, heavily-fertilized, heavily-stocked (plants AND fish) nature aquarium. This is my first ever tank and I've had it for about 5 months now. Its a 125 Liter (33 Gal) Juwel tank with the stock MultiLux LED lights and filter, which has a flow-rate of about 500l/hr...

Hey All! So I've been working on my first ever tank for about 7 months now. Its a low tech tank but I've been implementing a strict dosing schedule, which I now think is ready for an upgrade. In all honesty, my tank has performed pretty well considering that it does not use any CO2 injection...

Hello everyone! So I have a 33 gal planted tank and my current stocking is: - 3 Pearl Gourami - 13 Neon Tetra - 6 Amano Shrimp - 3 Otocinclus I'd like to get a second set of schooling fish that would contrast nicely with the neons. They'd obviously have to be compatible with the rest of my...

Hey Guys, I bought this gourami thinking it was a female (the guys at the petshop didn't know how to sex them since they are apparently still young) because the accompanying male I bought was bigger and had a very orange chin/throat. Over the last few days, Ive been noticing that this...

Hey guys! So this is my first incident on my first fish in my first tank. My tank is heavily planted and was recently cycled and I've had ammonia: 0 ppm, nitrites: 0 ppm and nitrates: 5-10 ppm for over a week. I added 2 pearl gouramis (1 male and the other seems to be a female but I'm unsure)...

Hi all! I recently bought my first ever tank and it just finished its cycle last week. Its a Juwel Rio 125L LED (33 gal) with a Juwel Bioflow 3.0 M with a flow rate of 500 l/hr (turnover is 4 x/hr). As you can see below, my tank is mid-heavily planted with a variety of plant species. I also...

Hey guys, I'm approaching the end of my cycle and have been experiencing peculiarly high pH test results in my 125L (33gal) tank. I'm getting pH levels of about 7.4-7.6. Now I know that that is not even considered that high, but the strange thing is that my first layer of substrate is ADA Power...

Hi guys! So I'm nearing the end of my cycle and am starting to think about my stocking options and I'm considering keeping 6 Panda Corydoras or possibly even Kuhl Loaches among other fish in my 125L (33 Gal) Tank (81cmx50cmx36cm). As you can see, my tank is mid-heavily planted, but more...

Hey guys! So I'm approaching the end of my cycle and I'm really excited to get some fish in my first tank! Its a 125L (33 gal) mid-heavily planted tank and my filter has a flow-rate of 600l/hr, so my turnover is about 4.8x/hr. My stocking plan is: - 9 Neon Tetras - 5 Guppies - 6 Celestial...

So this is my first tank and I'm having some trouble with the cycling process, which has been going on for 10 days. I have a 125L (33 Gal) Juwel tank with a Juwel Bioflow M Filter pumping at 600l/hr. My first layer of substrate is ADA Power Sand Special topped off with ADA Amaznoia II. I planted...

Hey guys! This is my first thread on this forum so apologies if I've posted this in the wrong area. I am currently in the first week of cycling my very first aquarium. Its a low tech 125L (33 gal) planted tank. Since I added the plants a week ago, they all seem to be deteriorating by the day...
