I dramatically reduced the flow of co2. It was at a bubble/second, I took it down to 1 per 6 seconds. I added some crushed coral to the filter, wishful thinking that will help balance it out and make the tank more stable. I took the temp down to 78...Crossing my fingers that this works!

This is my problem: I am finding it terribly challenging to keep shrimp alive in my tank for more than 6 hours. Tried twice now and failed both times...parameters are normal for trites, trates and ammonia (0,10,0). Temp was at 82. ph tested remarkably low (6), and I cannot figure out why. I...

German Blue Rams...I can not speak on how they clean the tanks, but it does not surprise me if someone says they don't spend much time cleaning the tanks.

Yes, you can almost always find blue rams there

It is not as painful as a drive as you might think, but if you wanted to keep it within the beltway, Prestine Aquariums has an interesting selection. But without a doubt, if you want anything hard to find, go to House of Tropicals.

Most of the fish stores within the beltway leave a lot to be desired. Confessional aquarium in Rockville is one of the better LFS. I always make the drive to the house of tropicals in Glen Burnie. They have it all, great place to check out on the weekend.

I have a pair of clown killifish and scarlet badis that refuse to eat anything I give to them. All they eat are the copepods clinging to the walls of the aquarium. What can I give them that they will eat?

Not long, I started this tank on the 22nd of may. How Long did it take for your plants to look healthy again? And how tall to these things get exactly?

Pictures of the plants that are looking ragged. I significantly reduced the amount of time I leave the light on, at least until whatever funky stuff growing in the tank clears up. Any feedback based on the images?

Power compact. I purchased some potassium and I'll hope things clear up soon. In the meantime, I think I am noticing some algae growing on the plants as well...

It's a coralife setup, 2 65 watt 6700k bulbs. Any suggestions for a fertilizer I should purchase?

None at all...is this something better poured into the water, or mixed into the substrate?

I am doing a fishless cycle on my 50g planted tank...I am only 10 days into the cycle and the leaves on the swords are slowly losing their green color and becoming transparent. Used Eco Complete substrate, using CO2 injections...Ammo is pretty low, nitrites and nitrates are both pretty...
