I have a 110g freshwater, planted aquarium. Most plants grow very well in the tank, except for reds and foreground cover plants. It's a 34 inch deep tank, and I don't think that the T5 lighting I have is sufficient to grow reds or foreground plants (due to the depth). I would like to try to grow...

I just recently purchased the Eheim Pro III Canister Filter from Dr. F&S for my 110g. I am having considerable difficulty getting the filter to operate at all. Has anyone on the forum here operated one of these units? Maybe i am setting the unit up incorrectly; F&S tech support is no help at...

I have a 110 gallon that i have kept up under the planted aquascaping forum page. I have had the misfortune of springing a very bad leak in the bottom of the tank - bad enough that I am concerned about repairing it. This is the link to my the old in its former life...

I noticed that when dosing my G Watson fert's daily that several kinds of plants in my 120 gallon started to show strange signs of stress. New leaf growth in my swords were curled and had holes in them. After a water change and laying off the ferts for some time the swords recovered, however, my...

These are shots of my 110 gallon. Been running for about 6 months. I have a couple types of algae growing recently. Anyone know which type of algae I have and possible corrective action? Here are the tank vitals: lighting: 330 watts 10 hours with 2 hour break mid-day CO2: pressurized; 4-5...

I thought I would post a couple pictures of my 110 gallon set up around early summer of this year. It's doing OK although I am not entirely happy with the layout so far. I do have some problems with algae although the various tank mates help to keep it in check. I run a pressurized CO2 system at...

I am finding that I am unable to keep the lighting on my tank from really heating my tank up. I have a 110 gallon with 6x55w CF (330 w total) 2x55 - 5500k; 2x55 - 6700k; and 2x55 - 7800k. Plants are doing well and algae is almost non-existent. However, I am cooking my fish! Over the weekend...

I have a 110 gallon set up that is about 2 months old. I am still getting the hang of the fertilization schedule but for the most part the plants seem to be happy. It's my phosphates that seem to climb quickly and don't drop until the water change. the tank is well planted with val, cabomba...

I have recently set up a 110 gallon complete with the pressurized CO2 system from Dr. Foster and Smith. The system is of good quality except for the bubble counter. When the pH drops to the prescribed level on the low side reading of the pH controller it shuts off the system as it should...

I am new to the high tech set-up for a planted tank. I have always run a low tech tank with relatively good success. Can anyone provide a good source for the testing kits needed to test kH, gH, nitrates, phosphates, etc. as I have never tested for these before.
