Yep, I think you already figured it out. Air and substrate change. Clip the old yellow and new will regrow.

Going to have to get ink for my printer and print this thread for reference! I will need to sit and read and re-read this. It all confused me. I am trying to go more planted than now. Until you pointed out what was wrong I thought the tank was beautiful! I would have thought all that normal...

Waiting to see if fish come today. It is at least warm enough to snow. And am watching. USPS web site still lists arrival expected as YESTERDAY!!! They left Or. on Monday evening so praying there is no delay with PO. Hard to believe is taking so long getting from Grand Rapids to here.... both...

NE lower Michigan. Below the UP. Gaylord Funky Fish and Friends is ONLY lfs I know of. Unless you want chain store like Gaylord Meijer or Walmart in Gaylord or Alpena.

looks like oxygen pearling. Good sign.

Looks good. Recommendations have already been stated. Can't wait to see an update on this one.

Agreed with above! Evidently likes your stats! You are going to have lots of new plantlets!! Nice job.

"Land plants" are not recommended for aquarium use. Underwater they can decay and rot as they are not accustomed to the high waterlogged conditions. Some need the soil to dry between waterings. The plants needs must be considered. Even emergent aquatics have different growth underwater than...

Well I was going to answer this but I see everything has already been said. The only thing I can add is it is also a wonder booster/activator for a compost pile! This has been my practice for many years. And I don't have to buy "fish fertilizer". In fact it sounds gross but if I loose a fish I...

Jewel Cichlid pair: Crater & Swooning Defender -- she is recovering from a crater type wound in head (or hih) and he plays the protective entry (to her hiding spot) defender. But is always swooning to see if she is ready! Maybe should call him Ever-ready :brows: Peacocks: Big Mama, Little stud...

Ok will have to do the link.... Finally got photobucket to open enough to grab it: lowerlevel.jpg photo by Bluebirdnanny | Photobucket

Looking really good!

No good. Guess I have to pass. It won't upload. And image hosting site freaks on me.

Did this work? Here is my Jewel Tank.

Topped off the water in tanks I did wc in yest. Watched jewel tank from across room (won't come out if am near since the tank overhaul) Fed tanks and noticed the female (crater) isn't eating. Wound might have affected ability.... won't let me see her up close....hides if I stand up. Worried...

Wish my floor would support that kind of tank!!! Wonderful project AND I commend you for doing research first. A mistake in that size a tank would be ultra disastrous in both labor AND cost to correct. Yes Pictures!!!! Please!!!!

Ditto above. Day/Night cycle.

My Experience with root tabs is YES they will cloud the water for a bit. Also sounds like changing the lights may have cause a slight algae bloom which should also be short term. Kind of like a mini cycle (fert & light induced). How is it today?

Forgot.... I also soak them in water with Parasite Control before the last rinse and they go into the tank.

True but then I have collected rocks from my wet/bog/woodland behind the house. Of course I scrub them and soak them rinse well then dip in chlorine which I follow with dechlorinator. Again soak and scrub before adding to tank. I never had any problem except algae eventually grows on them. But...

Plant request was to the 20 tall of Phishfriend. The I like I like was to you Philly.

That is better pictures of the worm I was describing to everyone in chat.

I like, I like!!!

ok now I have to have this plant list. This is EXACTLY what I want to do with my 20 tall in the kitchen.

Or separate HUGE tanks for each!!!!! The last is for sure Jaguar and they get really really huge and are vicious but are wonderful in their own tank.... I had to rehome mine (two fry I was given) when they outgrew my largest tank!!! My floor wouldn't support anything more!!!
