I think I NEED these... o.O http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=353 Has anyone ever seen of or heard of these guys?

so I've got a nasty staghorn breakout - in searching online I havent found any real solution nor cause for this nastiness. Here's my specs: 20g long medium-heavily planted tank CO2 injected 2X65w Coralife fixture -- Actinic on for 2 hr, then just the 10K for 10 hr, then the Actinic for 4 hr...

specifically, Staghorn algae... does it benefit from actinic lighting? I know that plants only benefit from lighting in the daylight spectrum and had assumed that algae did too. I'll be posting a full thread on the topic of my outbreak once I get home in a few hours and can test things, but...

I know, I know it sounds silly... but I got to thinking the other day... Isnt the main reason for water changes to remove NO3 and gravel vac at the same time? Well, in a planted tank, we are adding NO3 and aren't gravel vaccing (for those with a lot of ground cover anyway)... then what is the...

Have a bunch of plants (single type) to give away - just pay the cost of shipping. I dont know what the name is, but on this post, they are the tall ones in the middle pic in the center of the tank - there are at least 15 or more stalks and several over 10" long. The stuff has turned into a...

in a recent reaction to my insane amount of equipment along the back wall of my planted 20, I started thinking about swapping out my filters for a canister and swapping out my heaters for an inline model. I'm thinking about plumbling the canister output to the input of my CO2 reactor, then the...

was thinking it would be a nice idea to have a forum specifically for logs of new projects - since they seem to be pretty well spread out among all of the different forums and bringing them together would help clean up those forums and give people places to record their "builds"

I dont have any "before" pics, but here is a single shot of the day I changed it all around - it looks much much better now after things have settled in and the plants have sprung back to life - I'll update this with another pic here soon. how do you like the way I put the tall plants in the...

in my 20? Its pretty much on the overstocked side but with a lot of bottom dwellers... fairly heavily planted and over filtered. I'd like to see if I can add some small shrimp but I'm not sure if my stocklist is totally compatable nor if my tank would be able to humanely house them. I updated...

I'd like to try these plants out and see if I can get them to grow in my setup - I am only looking for a tiny amout - a few plants to see how well they do. I'll pay shipping costs.

Id like to add some groundcover to my tank I'm rebuilding and cant seem to find something that will spread out, look good and is readily available. My tank is a 20Long with 40w 6700 lighting and as of next weekend, Eco-Complete and CO2 injection. I know I'm sitting comfortable in the medium...

Looking to buy some Java Moss, Marimo balls/blobs/chunks and a ton of MTS - post here or send me a PM if you have any to offer :)

to CO2 and Eco-complete. I have to rearrange all of my furniture this weekend so I figured, what better time to swap out the substrate and switch to CO2 then when I have to break down the tank to move anyway? :) I'm planning on posting pics and stuff as I progress. BTW, this is on my 20g tank...

one of my BN plecos suddenly has a rather large black mass behind his fin - I can only guess that its a tumor :( I set up my 5g and isolated him in it as soon as I saw it. I plan on taking some pictures tonight and posting them - is there anything I can do? Since plecos are scaleless, I heard...

Edit I want to revive this thread in hopes of getting some more clarification on some of the missing points as well as more in depth information on how some chemicals interact. If you see something missing, something that should be added or something that is off-base, let me know :) In...

Apparently my boss has an inwall 200g tank and a 55 - both are fresh water, unplanted and dont sound to be overstocked. I inquired about cleaning and water changes and she informed me that "you dont need to clean tanks that big - we just add water" I guess they've been up and running for a long...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/03/31/coral.death.ap/index.html Was wondering how aware you all were of this and what the impact will be. Aside from the monumental loss in the "real world" how will this affect the saltwater hobby? I am currently only a FW type, but planned on getting...

I'm not condoning copyright infringement but I am curious how many people here are concerned about P2P network users being sued and locked up. If you wish to remain anonymous, by all rights do so. :) edit: the reason I ask is because a coworker of mine just got a letter from Universal...

Not sure who to ask personally but... Is it possible to modify some code so that the formatting we give the "Describe your tanks" part of our profile remains intact? I realize that in the source code for the page, the formatting is there bot for it to show up on the page, some sort of replace...

I just got a 20L yesterday and got it all set up. moved everything from my 5 gallon over and the fishies seem a lot happier! I ended up getting the wrong lighting fixture (I tried to get a deal at Home Depot and the one I bought didnt even have a power cord) so they are kinda in the dark until I...

I never did introduce myself and I figure I might as well now - better late than never, right? :lol: I'm a 22 year old college student and stumbled upon this site when I had puffer fever bad. I learned quite a bit and by the time my tank had finished cycling, I abandoned the puffer idea in...

With all the sump plans out there, I thought I would venture out on my own idea and came up with the diagrams below. I wont be building this for a while and am still tuning the idea but the basics are there. Filter floss and bio balls for filtration, baffles and flow direction changes to remove...
