Hmm..Ill try that..thanks!

I never have because most veggies float, and the loaches seem to ignore food near the surface, so, algea wafers, and veggie pellets is the extent of their veggie diet for now.

you will get much better CO2 injection if you simply use a power head, or cannister filter to mix the CO2 into the water..and with the Canister Filter there will be nothing in your tank. I hate the bubble ladders and spirals, they look so out of place in a planted tank, and in the end the...

I purchased a "Skimmer" attatchment for my peng 170 bio wheeles..cost me 14 dollars at the LFS..nothing fancy but it attaches to the siphon pick up for most any HOB filter and I have had 0 surface scum ever since. If your tank is planted, i recommend giving it a try, it cost's very little and...

i have never had a problem with them attacking my plants, however i feed them a great variety of food, mostly sinking shrimp pellets (their fav's) and algea tabs. also they seem to enjoy haveing the occasional 7 day feeder with all its hidden goodies in the tank to nibble on. What are you...

squirrel of course :lol:

25% water changes. I have Installed the carbon/ammonia filters back, to remove meds in both the QT and main tank, I will put fish back in main tank. The reason for the frequent water changes was the lack of carbon/ ammonia media in the filter. Since I wont use meds i can put the media back...

Tank has been treated for 2 weeks, 3 doses of meds. Water changes every 48 hrs. Tank is planted and oxygen lvls have been fine at higher temp, but there is a stone below the substrate incase fish start breathing hard. By the way, i think i got the ich from petsmart. When i introduced some new...

Well, after a week long war there is the first casulty...a 5" clown loach. Poor guy. I have had the temp set at 86 degrees, and have raised the salt level, and been treating with super ick from the lfs, which i now know is some nasty stuff.. All those attacks on the ick and it got worse...

Thanks everyone, that was better advice than customer service at Jungle labs gave. They said, and i quote, "Whenever you think the plants need more." Wow, very helpful huh. Thanks, I will get what I need online. :D

Heh, im out in BFE and dont have a great choice, 1 lfs with in 100 miles, but i will check for something different than jungle. thanx

I have a bottle of Jungle Labs, fertilizer, the instructions say how much to use, but not how often to use it, any suggestions?? Soluble potash, 7% Iron 0.05% Chelated iron 0.05% As of right now its a 30G tank with 1 Amazon Sword, a hand full of moneywort, and 1 sword that i have know idea...

I recently cleaned off the leaves, but as usual im sure it will come back, if it does i will post the pics in a couple of days. Its actually more of a rust color than pure red, however its not rought to the touch, infact i can brush it off with my fingers with no force at all. It always returns...

Quick question. My Swords hav some kind of red algea on them, just in a few spots where they get the most light. Does this harm the plants, and if so, how do i remove it? Thanx

dont forget the clown loaches!

ok..this may be a shot in the dark..since im more a herpaculturalist than an aquarist, but....if u use an air stone make sure the bubbles aren't going into the filter intake..this will cause a bunch of micro bubbles that makes the water nasty.

30g tank.. he he...10 min water change.... What size do u have that bothers you so much? I just do the weekly water changes because i keep my tanks heavily planted and prefer to go with fresh water as opposed to constant testing and worring about ammonia or if my filter is at 100% all the...

Hats off to u mate!! And welcome to the club! :lol:

i have 2 projects up and coming, . 1st would be a 30g heavy planted for small schooling fish,.. probably tetras or barbs. 2nd a 55-75g, depending on my mood at that time, for a larger group of clowns and probably gourami's and angels,. but not quit sure yet.

Need help here guys. I am makeing a 30g heavy planted aquarium that will have a large bio load of small school fish. I am trying to decide what filter will be best. I have never use a bio wheel or falls. but i do know the larger bio load will require better filters. Is the casqade bio...

I have 2 Clowns in my 30 Gal, because i had to drive 4 hours just to get 2!, and i have not noticed any dominance...However i have noticed they love to pick on barbs, and ride in the air bubbles..other than that...they are like lil kids hard at play.
