    1st day, lower light.. had to lower my co2!!

    . I was at a conference this morning and I just got home to find my bristlenose pleco hanging out at the top of the tank and my amano shrimp swimming high.. The smaller fish seemed still comfortable. my drop checker was yellow Green kh5 -- it usually shows firmly mid-green -- and it may be my...

    Have very soft water? I have a bunch of Tonina Belem

    If you have soft /unbuffered water, I have some gorgeous belem I trimmed. I send plants for the cost of shipping, $5. I have enough to give even three of you a nice handful.. or one lucky person can take it all. Don't bother getting this if you buffer your tank. Back in the days I added 1/4...

    got soft water? I've got a ton of tonina belum

    some green linomphilia, a bit of L aromatica, microsium umbrosium, and a snippet or two of rotala macrandra. did a lot of trimming again. really the belem needs pillow soft water with no buffering or it will melt. and that is the most valuable thing here. plants are yours for $5 shipping...

    OMG BABIES!!!

    My cacs have not only spawned, but I just found 2 1/4 inch long babies who are not wrigglers but little fish!!!!! I saw the girl yellow a while ago, but I never thought any eggs hatched. Now 2 survived with none of my help, despite the existance of rummies and a bristlenose pleco in the tank...

    pearling macrandra

    I haven't gotten the color right, but I have to say there is nothing like mac when it is pearling. The pic is a little blurry. I need a better camera for close ups. Still, Mac still amazes me as much as it frustrates.

    Lamotte and EI saved my macrandra.

    I have been fighting stunting rotalla macrandra for months. It used to just dissolve, but this last time, it merely stunted, tiny leaves that quickly lose their color after being born a gorgeous red. well, Travis kept bugging me to test nitrates with lamotte (nitrates were always 20 on my ap...

    Cooled my tank.. Without evaporation!!!!!

    my tank has been spiking up to 86/88 because of the plant lights. does this even when heater was turned off and I was losing fish. I tried taking off the acrylic lid and trust that the lights on legs would be enough of a "cover". didn't help more than 1 degree. I bought a small vornado and...
