I have a 125gallon in the works and need at least 2 4x32t8 120 volt flourescent ballasts. Anyone have some they want to part with?

Anyone have any experience breeding Rainbows? These are the yellow axelrod in particular. I've got a pair set up in a 20 with lots of Java windelov for spawning "mops". They seem to be "in the mood" but no results yet.

These are the 2 Bacopa samples I mentioned in the "thanks an-t-iasg" thread. Same plant or 2 specie?

Deb wanted some pics to prove I haven't killed her plants. I'm still working out a diatom problem and green spot is pretty bad in my new 75 but the plants are still healthy overall. My wife said she'll go otto shopping tomorrow and I plan to up P significantly. I got my Magnum HOT fixed and...

While enjoying a quiet night at home last evening I was stunned by the sound of water flooding. Turned around and my 90gal. had decided to "expire". Nobody touching it and the back panel of 1/2" glass broke. We caught all the livestock and overpopulated my 55 until further accomodations could be...

Had to drive for 3hrs. working today and a question occured to me. We provide all necessary nutrients for our plants in aquaria, but have to introduce K in high light environments since natural processes won't keep up. In nature, where does the necessary K come from? My sister has a B.S. in...

let me see if these will work:

Rather simple question. I got a half dozen MTS yesterday for my new 90 gal. and was wondering if anyone had experience with Yo-Yos or clown loaches being kept with them. I know both loaches will wipe out pond snails but I haven't kept MTS before. Seems like someone said the MTS had better defenses?

Does anyone know a dosing formula for this stuff? I've been mostly guessing since all the calculators use CSM+B. Unfortunately, they give solutions to dose for .1ppm of Fe and the added chelated iron is bound to skew this level. Everything seems fine as far as plant growth goes but I'm afraid of...

I got my chemicals from Greg Watson today and had a question concerning the K2SO4. I've got Chuck's calculator so I can figure the amount to dose to the recommended level (20 ppm) but there isn't a test for K available AFAIK. How do I figure the tank's uptake for later doses? Nitrates and...

I'm getting ready to order from Greg Watson and can't decide whether to order the PMDD pre-mix or order some CSM+B, some potassium nitrate, and some potassium sulfate. Can anyone suggest which is the better method, dosing for nitrate, potassium, trace and iron separately or in a pre-mixed form...

Since you don't want surface disturbance in a planted tank re. co2 outgassing how do you insure the oxygenation necessary for your fishes?

Can anyone recommend which phosphate test kit is easy to use and accurate?

Where can I order some 4-leaf clover? My wife wants it for ground cover though I'd prefer riccia.

Hey guys, I installed a Magnum H. O. T. on my 29 gal. yesterday. How long should I leave my old Penguin 150 running along with it to avoid a spike. I figured 2 weeks but 400 gph (250 mag +150 penguin) seems like a LOT of flow so I'd like to remove the old filter ASAP.

Hey guys, I bought a 29 gal. used tank that came with a pair of Zebra Danios and one is obviously a female full of eggs. However, it's been over a month and she hasn't laid any eggs. I thought she might not like the male so I bought 3 more hoping she might see a better mate and lay. I'm afraid...

It seems like everyone uses fluorescent lighting. Does anyone use HPS/MH lighting on their tanks? Are the WPG rules the same for HID?
