Hey everyone, I just switched substrates yesterday from gravel to sand. I currently don't have any fish and only two plants, both of which are tied to driftwood and not planted. I bought 20lbs of Petco white aquarium sand for my 10 gallon tank. The directions on the bag weren't very specific...

Hey everyone, I've had my betta for about 2ish years now. He's in a 3 gallon marineland eclipse system with 3 live plants (2 betta bulbs and an anubias). The temp is generally between 82 and 86F and I do 50% water changes weekly. He has been doing very well, but he gets scared easily and I...

Hey everyone, My mother has had a betta for about a year and a half now. He's in a 1 gallon heated (sort of...the heater is trash and only keeps the tank around 74) tank. It has a filter but it doesn't get run often because he gets blown around by the current and stuck to the intake. I planned...

Hey everyone, When I first set up my planted 10 gallon, it didn't cross my mind to use sand as my substrate instead of gravel, so I went ahead and used standard aquarium gravel. However, after seeing how nice sanded planted tanks look, and hearing the essentially unanimous opinion about how...

Hey everyone, I have an Anubias plant in my 10 gallon planted tank. Up until now it has been growing great, aside from a leaf or two being plagued by black algae which I'm trying to get rid of. However, yesterday I noticed the majority of the back of one of the leaves was turning yellow, so I...

Hi everyone, I have a crypt in my 3 gallon betta tank. I currently dose the water column with Nutrafin Plant Gro (soon to be switching over to Flourish Comprehensive), and I have an API root tab underneath the crypt. The lighting is just a stock 6 watt bulb that came with the tank set up. I've...

Hey everyone, I have a 3 gallon Marineland Eclipse tank which houses my betta, and I have a few plants in there (a crypt wendtii, anubias nana, and a stem of anacharis that I'm testing to see if it grows). I bought the infamous "betta bulbs" a few weeks ago and they've been sitting in the...

Hey everyone, I have a fairly heavily planted 10 gallon aquarium set up, and I currently have 3 zebra danios in it. When I went to the LFS the day I got them I wasn't planning on getting danios but the LFS guy talked me into it and now I sort of regret it because I now realize that they like to...

Hey everyone, I just bought a Marineland Eclipse 3 gallon tank for my betta, and I'm almost ready to transfer him into it, however the current is far too strong from the outflow, and I've read that the intake is also very strong, so I'd like to cut both of them down a bit. I know how to create...

Hey everyone, So I just picked up a Marineland Eclipse 3 gallon tank for my betta. I currently have a 10 gallon planted tank with some zebra danios in it that I was going to put my betta in once the danios were gone, but after much debate (and me being lazy about not wanting to catch the zebras...

Hey everyone, I currently have a 10 gallon tank (first stab at a planted tank) with Anubias, Java Fern, Hygrophila, Micro Swords, Anacharis, and an Amazon sword. I have a 15 watt 6500K light, gravel substrate, and I dose once a week with Nutra-Fin Plant Gro liquid fertilizer. So far things...

Hey everyone, I have Anacharis in my 10 gallon tank, which right now is stocked with 3 zebra danios and other plants (java fern, amazon sword, anubias, hygophilia, micro swords). Everything seems to be growing great (I hope :ermm: ), I have a 15 watt 6500K fluorescent light, and my water...

Hey everyone, I'm very new to planted tanks, I have a 10 gallon tank set up right now which is stocked with Anacharis, Java Fern, Anubias, Hygrophilia, an Amazon sword, and micro swords. I replaced my stock light with this bulb: Zoo Med T-8 Flora Sun Max Plant Growth Fluorescent Bulb at PETCO...

Hey everybody, I just found this site the other day and I'm really excited to have found such an active aquarium board! I'm a college student so my current dorm room set-up right now is a 10 gallon tank that I just finished planting. Right now I have 3 zebra danios and for plants I have...
