WHat exactly is pearling? Yup I ordered them online. There are very few plants around here i can use in my low light aquarium. ostrichkiller, a marimo (not marino like i said :) ) moss ball, is exactly like its name just a ball of moss :) They come from japan and are supposedly "the next big...

I want mine to sink! I dont want them to float :( Well its 2:46 (am very very very am) est. 3 moss balls have sank, and one is still floating. aj

Possibly, ill wait till i get in from work tonight (2-3am) and see if they are still floating. I think if they float, like you said, they are hallow inside. I think i red something about tearing them, rolling them into a round shape, and stapling it so it doesnt unroll. But would the staple rust...

I just got 4 marino moss balls today. One of them sank and the other 3 are floating. I thought i read they will float at night, but they have been in there for close to 5 hours in direct light and still floating. any one know why? aj

Its a penguin 110 filter http://www.petsmart.com/products/product_776.shtml like the one pictured. aj

also, do the tannins have any effects to plants/fish/water quality?

If it was slightly discolored no biggie but it looks likes a like colored tea. Activatec carbon? like in my filter? or is that charcoal... any ways how would i add activated carbon to it?

hi i have soaked my driftwood for two weeks, then put it in my tank. So in total it has been soaking for about 3 weeks. and the water is still discolored. I have 2 pieces of asian driftwood, and 1 peice of african. How long will my water stay discolored?

Well im outside Charleston, WV. I got the neon from two different stores. A LFS and petsmart. Like you mentioned it could just be the fish are ill or not well cared for when you buy them. Like i said the only time i had a neon die is from the ich attack (sucks) and when my frogs ate em :P aj

I have never had a problem with neons. Except for the recent ich slaughter i had that wiped out all living fish. I got 2 neons one time as a feeder fish for my firebelly toads. I put them in the water area to see if the toads could catch them. For two weeks they never did so i put em in a...

thanks, ill try that alli, some one on a chat said it could have been the ich and a parasite. Ill keep a better eye on em next time.

i think the fixture is 20" long but with a 18 watt light. I bought the lightstrip a little over a month ago it has a screw in light before. I was looking at the AH stuff, i was thinking of still using my new strip light a 1x13 behind it. I would make a plexi top for it to set on. I think my...

I have a 20 gal hex tank. It has plants, right now it has aquatic clover, java moss, anacharis (sp?). Im going o get 3 marimo moss balls, another java moss clump, and a java fern. All are low light plants. Right now i have a 18 watt fluorescent light on it. My clover is doing great, my...

Well just to update, like i thought every thing is dead. I even got the Rid Ich like suggested. So now just plants are in the tank. Im going to let it run for a few weeks and sdo some water changes. But i think I have discovered the real reason why the fishes died. About a month ago *before...

Hi again, I got Rid Ich today. I did a 50% water change, removed the carbon from my filter and added the rid ich. The molly is dead, and i have three remaining neons. One is on the verge of dying, and the other two have very little strength. This is grim, but i give them 24 hours. I did read...

well i had 6 ghost shrimp, it seems 4 died off and one lived quit a while. im not sure if hes alive or not. i normally cant see him...

okay, ill see what it does. i put in the ick medicine. That was tge last of it, ill need to get more but i dont know if i can get it tommarow. i gotta go to tech school, then to orintation for a new job (kick @$$), then to my current job then its 8pm! but i dont think petsmart closes till 9 or...

well that water problem was taken care of about a week ago *forgot to mention*, but i do have plants, wont the bleach kinda kill em? But i am going to take out the filter and see what that does. I hope the neons and molly lives. i dont care about the platty.

dem, im not sure. maybe it was a bad mixture? jack. well id say it would work, but you would need a bigger container if your going to 2x the ingrediants. aj

Okay heres a long post starting....... now. A few weeks back petsmart told my sister and mother you can keep a male betta with other community fish as long as there is not another male betta. (yes they are stupid for saying that but i wasnt there to disagree) So she gets a 3 gallon tank, a...

wow, im hving the opposite problem. I have noticed very little growth in my java moss and it has been in the tank for over a month! The other plants i have in the tank now are doing great though. Sell parts of your monster on e-bay for like $7 a clump, lol!

i think ill just let it soak a bit longer then. I dont want to water colored, i just finally got it cleared up :) And all the peices sink. Ill just give it a week or so longer. thanks!

I kind i head boiling will make the wood bad or something and make it break down. Is this true? if not how long do you boil and junk? the pecies arent that big the bigest is around 10" long and 4" wide aj

okay i got some driftwood that i am soaking for the aquarium. I got three pieces in a 5 gallon bucket. They have been soaking since sunday. The water was very tinted sunday. I change the water every day. The water is still tinted dark by the time i change it but not as bad. About how long should...
