I just picked up this thing to help keep the beach clean. http://www.fasttech.com/products/2230/10004328/1330800-jeneca-as-11-4-pieces-fish-tank-aquarium-nano-clea The kitty litter scoop looking attachment is perfect for this application. Cheap and free shipping.

There is an updated video from about a month ago on YouTube. The tank is still pretty good, grass is growing back and some is dying, seems normal at this point. It's still not quite as dense as it was initially but the fish are happy and I've added a few new shrimp and a couple of small snails...

I've been using my net but it doesn't scoop accurately ... I might see what kind of kitchen gadgets will work for this. I think you're on to something

Recovery mode. My poor beach :(

Hydor pico evo mag is creating some nice flow in my tank now. The impeller came but it was the wrong one ... By a long shot too. I'm happy with the flow right now but will order the correct impeller to give the HOB some extra flow. The DHG has taken a turn for the worse!! I've been jinxed ;)...

Flow pump came in today ... Impeller was supposed to come too but it didn't. I'll update soon with the details. Figuring out the proper placement is proving to be a nightmare!

I didn't do anything special. I would give credit to the substrate. I trim it monthly so far. I've got my fingers crossed about the four leaf clovers, the golden is doing a good job cleaning up the dying growth. One cool thing about having an aquarium so small is that you get to see...

Very cool, there are so many DIY mods out there but that looks like an easy and affordable solution. Ill look into those, if the color temp is appropriate I might look into that.

I have been getting the algae issue under control but added another snail to help. I would like three or four more shrimp but my local store won't have any for another week. I have also removed the carbon from my HOB filter and filled in the remaining space with filter floss. The flow issue...

Thanks! The guppy is our favorite fish. 1 because we can identify him among the others and 2 because he was soooo tiny when we first got him. The shrimp are the crowd favorite among my friends :)

I can see why you would say that but I wanted the brighter light to be the "full time" light. I put the other one away when I don't want to look at it. It just happens to be that the new plants are in the corner where the light is currently situated. I was originally hoping to somehow mount...

Hey Brian! I've got the original LED arm hacked off and sitting on top for some extra light. The 12 gallon 42 LED arm is installed under the hood where the original one was. It just takes a couple of screws and the old one comes right off, you'll have no problem doing that.

I hope the seller isn't on the forums. He's probably banging his head on his desk haha. It looks good. I can't wait to upgrade to a canister so I can get the heat and co2 out of the tank. Looking forward to the next update.

I have made a few minor updates. I finally got my dwarf four-leaf clovers and some narrow leaf sword in the mid and back right corner. While I was at the store I picked up a hydor koralia nano which proved to be extreme overkill for my tank. There is no way to configure it that doesn't turn...

Thanks, great advice. I have actually shortened my light cycle to help with this issue, it comes on one hour later right now. I think I have it on a 10 hour cycle. I don't want too many critters in this small aquarium so I think i'll stick with the shrimp and shorter light cycle and see how...

Pristine aquariums in Alexandria VA says they will have new plants ready for sale this weekend! I'm excited to finally get my 4-leaf clovers and maybe something else depending on what they have in stock. I've been growing a bit of algae on my stones lately ... Quite nicely in fact, I see some...

Thanks! I don't plan on setting up another tank any time soon. I was just curious really. Hopefully anyone who is researching their kits will read the comments you all have provided.

This sounds like excellent advice. It sucks that they're basically trying to take advantage of people. I didn't look at the price for the complete setup. The tank itself is on Fab right now for 170, it looks nice and sometimes you gotta pay $$ for design. I'd rather drop the extra $ on an...

I came across this product on fab.com and was wondering if anyone has experience with this company.: http://www.sereneseahorses.com/home Let me know what you think, it looks good and seahorses are super cool! Would be nice to get some live corals in there but I have no idea what you can put...

That is a tiny fancy guppy that must have been born at the store and was put in the bag with my Rasboras, a free stowaway. He is doing well so far and has grown considerably from his original rice grain size.

Here is a short video: My 6 Gallon Fluval Edge - 5 Weeks - YouTube I apologize in advance for shaky camera work and the lack of editing. This was recorded and uploaded from my iPad.

Thanks! I've thought about modifying the outlet to split or spread out the flow. I was worried about too much flow, the bigger pumps usually have some adjustment but I haven't found a nano flow pump with adjustable output. I'll see how I feel about my flow issues once I get some plants in...
