I've gathered some lovely driftwood today from a nearby lake. Some of it is quite large, I'd say at least four feet long. I'm not really worried about tannins. The fish I want to keep would feel quite at home with tannins in the water, but I am worried about parasites and unsavory bacteria and...

Is this an Amazonian sword? My husband bought it as a bulb. The package didn't I.D. it. I'm curious about the plant in the foreground. All the other are plastic.

Well, I've been narrowing down my research and I think I'd like to go with medium light plants. But I heard the wpg rule doesn't work for bigger tanks. I'm getting a 75 gallon tank. What kind of wattage do I need? What kind of bulbs should I use? Also, I'd like to cover the substrate with a...
