I've read not to use salt with scaleless fish such as cories and elephant noses is Epsom salts made up of the same things as regular aquarium salt or is it entirely different? I think I read somewhere it's made up of magnesium sulphate or something along those lines which I believe some people...

yeah as of lately I've been using the cold water tap only I'll fill a bucket put in prime let it sit in the bucket until it's room temp then use a heater to get the temp to what I want and then top off my tank/do changes as needed, hopefully all goes well with the last remanding shrimp I have...

Nano tanks an algae farm right now lol just algae on the glass tho dwarf hair grass is thriving under the high light see runners and new leaves all the time, can't keep cherry shrimp for the life of me tho almost all are dead at first I thought it might've been cause I was doing too much too...

little update, changed things around got Christmas moss for the driftwood certain plants growing slow others thriving like my hydrophil in the centre back, rotala doesn't seem to be doing too hot growing real slow same with the scarlet temple tho I believe they're slow growers. Got two pearl...

I do have a 20lb co2 tank on the 75g but that would be quite the reach if I was to do a split and pump to both, maybe I'll see if my brother will let me use his paintball canister co2 unit since he plans on getting a larger one when he gets his house. As for the plant I like the look of it but...

not much of an update on the 75g the new plant I had died off got uprooted too much, my brothers moving so he gave me a bunch of stuff like a giant clump of hc he had growing on top of some driftwood and a huge mat of dwarf hair grass that is now in my 7.5g shrimp tank also got some German blue...

got some cherry shrimp off my brother hopefully they find enough hiding spots to not get picked off by my rams. He also gave me a 7.5g tank he made its almost a 1/10th scale of my 75 the dimensions are just a bit off just need a dresser for my clothes and to act as a stand and I'll probably set...

Thanks! ya I think it's cause that background I wish I attempted to take it off before I set the tank up I would've prefered just a plan black background. hopefully when all the plants grow in it'll cover it up well

some 4 bulb T8 fixture my brother had gotten from Home Depot I believe, eventually wanna go LEDs but money's tight right now so waiting a bit, maybe Christmas ;)

This is what I came up with when I re-scaped, wanting some rotala bonsai for the open area on the left there and might move some of the driftwood around and what not. I'm always tinkering with things...can't keep my hands out of there. Just a short video of the tank, now to wait for things to...

I use a liquid test kit for my PH am I going to be able to notice a a PH drop of .1 - .3 in the colour of the liquid?

Also co2 question for those who have used it since this is my first time, I got a drop checker and the solution isn't green the whole time the co2 is on but gets green around 7 and lights go off at 9-930 I forget what my timers set to. Should I turn the co2 up? do I want it green longer since...

bought more about a week substrate they didn't have Eco complete where I go so I picked up some flourite and holy is that stuff messy should've just waited for Eco lol added it to one side and some to the back to give more substrate for my plants to root into, was lacking. fish have been ich...

Yeah I did the same thing just loaded up a backpack brought my dog along for the hike too should invest in a little doggy backpack he can help haha. I definitely wanna get more rummy nose tetras and get rid of the few odd ends of other schooling fish I got in there like my 3 cardinals and my...

Yeah i had angels before when i had my 48 bowfront, got rid of them cause i wanted to try something different they were very nice looking fish though. I was also on the thought of rainbows cause they like to swim vertically and like good flow i got a decent powerhead on the tank to get a good...

yeah i might have read that somewhere too and also heard its the same for corys, i dosed half the amount it says i didnt wanna do too much and risk hurting other fish, i really need to get a nursery tank asap incase things like this happen again.

As of right now it's just a bunch of rock and drift wood i had laying around along with plants from my old tanks that i had at my old place before i got this tank i didn't do much planning so it definitely could be a lot nicer going to put a photo up soon since it seems the one i used from my...

tried the wire it snapped wouldn't cut through at all so I took an exacto knife tried to cut under it and the glass started to crack so k just chipped away at it piece by piece definitely not the safest and smartest way but I got frustrated :banghead: and wanted it done I made sure to take my...
