    thats nice man.. I think the smallest big rock I have in mine is 20 pounds. I need a few more big rocks and one real flat rock to finish it out the way I want. I am finding the rocks not buying them so its taking a bit of time.

    NO3 droping? bad test?

    I was figuring it was the plants consuming them. The fact that it dropped down so low and the plants had very steady streams of bubbles rolling off of them the same day. It was really cool sight. I have seen them pearl with little bubbles on the leaves before but this time it looked like there...

    NO3 droping? bad test?

    My NO3 has been on a steady decline. I just tested in and it is showing between 0.00 and 0.05. everything else is great. Could this be a sign of a mini cycle in the near future. Could it be that my plants or soaking them up. The plants are doing great and are pearling for the first time in a...

    Planted 75gal.

    Thanks Chris.. No trick really. I have some pretty deep sand. I just stuck the uprights down deep and spaced them out. Then I found some that would lay ontop of them and started stacking. It is all solid as can be. I have had no problem with any falling even when cleaning. I didnt even use half...

    Thanks.. I wanted something diferent looking. It gives the frogs and the corrys a place to get out of the light. Funny thing is the Oto's tend to hang out in there a lot also.

    Advice on new tank

    yea it is working great now. I am still using the same mix. I think what was going on is I am very inpatient. Once the initial burn went away it the pressure would drop off to a point where it had to build back up to over come the resistance it had against it. Once I left it alone for a while it...
