:?: I like the big golden snails and like to keep large ones in my 90 gal tank, but since I've switched to Eco Complete I've had trouble keeping them going. There is plenty of algae for them on my back glass and I have alot of smooth rocks plus drift wood for them to cruise around on. My ph is...

:?: I'm getting ready to restock an established 90 gal tank and I'm looking at a variety of rainbow fish. Can anyone share any experiences they've had with these fish, ph, water hardness, food ?

I was at my LFS today and saw a cool fish that they had labeled as a Flat Chinese Pleco. It was about 2" long and reminded me of a stingray. It had a light body color and very fine dark/black dots. No scientific was listed. Is anyone familiar with this fish and how big they might get? TIA, Caribou

:?: I'd like to know what experiences AA members have had with ordering plants from abroad, specifically the far east (Singapore etc). Please advise of shipping choices that work the best. Feedback on most sites (like Aqaubid, Ebay) can run the full gamut. Thanks for your input. Caribou

I'd like to buy 5-10 rooted Dow Noi plants (pogetemon helferi). If anyone has some to spare, please send me a PM. Thanks!

Has anybody had trouble hooking up with Aqaubid or is it just my crappy ISP?

:?: Does anyone have any experience with keeping syndontis angelicus cat fish? Any input welcome.

Are lead plant weights really made out of lead or out of a simliar, nontoxic material? Are lead weights safe for the fish, and if so, could you use larger lead weights for driftwood, etc? Thanks! :P

:?: I've been looking for some Christmas Moss (vesicularia montagnei) but can not find any. Does anyone have a source for this plant? Any shared experiences with this species is also welcomed. Thanks!

:?: My annubia coffeefolia has been growing well but the new leaves are getting smaller as time goes on. My nutrients look good, is it time to divide the root ( rizhome) ?

I've been injecting CO2 for about two months now. My Ph has dropped, as is expected, but my Kh has been on the slow decrease as well. It was 15 before I started the CO2 and it was at 11 today. My plant is heavily planted and I'm trying to keep my NO3 up. My well water has a Kh of around 18 and I...

:roll: What is the most reliable brand of test kits for nitrates, ph etc. I've been using a Tetra Laborett Kit and more recently changed to Seachem for nitrate and phosphate testing. I'm getting conflicting readings on NO3, SC test says <1 and the Tetra kit reads 25ppm. My ph controller is set...

:?: How many bags of Eco Complete would be needed for a 90 gal tank? What's the reccomeded depth? Thanks!

:onfire: I"m giving a friend my empty 29 gal tank and they will be needing to get a new filter to go with it. I prefer canister filters myself but their set-up is better suited to a HOB filter. Any suggestions for brands and flow rates would be appreciated. Thanks!

:?: Has anyone had any experience with Walmart's pea gravel that they offer in their garden center? My Walmart has a few 50 lb bags that are on after season clearance. The price is so good that I woouldn't mind having to wash it. The size is a bit smaller than many aquarium gravels, but is it safe?

I'm currently planning a new 90 gal tank that I will start after the first of the year. I have all my equipment but my tank and substrate. The tank will be planted. I'd like to devote this tank to rainbow fish but would like to eventually add a pair of blue rams. Will these two species...

I have several bunch plants that I put into my tank about three weeks ago that are sprouting a lot of roots higher up on the stems. They have also sprouted roots into the substrate but the upper roots are larger and look more healthy. Would it benefit these plants to cut off the bottom sections...

I'm having some trouble keeping plants going under my spray bar which is submerged. I need suggestions on current tolerant plants. I hadn't had any problems until I cleaned my cannister :oops:. Now my plants are suffering the wrath of Eheim LOL!

:?: A few of my plants are sending up a small trail of bubbles when the lights are on. Is this a good sign or bad? I using pressurized CO2 with a regulator in a 90 gal tank. Bubbles per minute are 60. Many of my plants are new, but were bunch plants that are now really sprouting a lot of roots.

I have a Milwaukee Ph Monitor/controller that is set at 7.1. I want C02 for my plants but it seems that my injection is hardly running. Calibration seems to be good. Should I leave the system alone and let it do its own thing? This is my first pressurized system. My fish are doing great, even...

I'm trying to decide where to place my glass diffuser. I know it should be low in the tank but I would like to place it behind a large rock. This would put it pretty close to my heater, will this be a problem and will it reduce the effectiveness of the diffuser?

:?: I hope this doesn't result in a double post, I'm having some problems with my ISP. I'm getting ready to start up a new pressurized CO2 system. What should my regulator gauges read? I received no instructions with my regulator. I'll be dosing a 90 gal tank. Thanks.

:?: I'm just about ready to fire up a new pressurized CO2 system. I could use the glass diffuser included with my system but would like to keep as much stuff out of my tank as possible. Whats the best way to diffuse my CO2 thru the out-take of my Eheim 2217? I need plumbing details. Also, what...

:?: Is anyone out there using the Carbo-Plus CO2 system (carbon blocks). Does it work and will it work on a 90 gal tank? Thanks!
