Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello. I am in need of some ramshorn's. Thanks!! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Wowie. It's been too long!! Between school and work I'm barely keeping up. Hope everyone is well!! My tank is a little murky right now and my glass needs a scrub but my plants are growing like crazy. I actually need to trim! I'm having trouble with the diatom ? I guess. It's brown and...

I've been Mia. Busy with work and family stuff. Still unable to find slate. The ladies at lowes weren't very helpful, couldn't cut slate? I'm going to find it this weekend for sure. I'm fighting a brownish crumbly looking Algea right now. Any ideas? I'll get a pic tonight. It's forming...

Thanks all for the different suggestions. I'm making a trip down to Tuscon to the nice aquascape store there and I'm making a list of suggestions so I can try to find some of these suggestions ;) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you. I stuck them there bc I didn't think they were making it and when I tried to plant then individually they kept floating up ;/. I'll give that another shot now that they are coming back ;). Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The rocks are temporary. Once I get my DW in they are coming out or moving ;) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks to Fresh and Brookster! Great ideas and that is my project this weekend. Tanks Sk3lly, that's what I was curious about. I finally did some clean up in the tank, trimmed up some dead pieces and such. I am seeing new growth in some form on many plants this week. Very exciting! Here's...

You're not late! Perfect timing. Do you add anything like dechlorinator to it? I didn't get to work on my tank yesterday so no update pics yet. I'll be able to today. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thanks! I'll try petco. Home Depot garden center didn't and neither did petsmart by my house. But there's a petco not too far and there are a few garden centers I can try too. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

So. Best option for anchoring my dw? Someone mentioned slate. Other options? Where might I find slate? Thanks! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thanks! Don't they?!? Everything is really starting to perk up! I'll get some good update shots posted tonight ;). Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

My tap ph is 7.8. Nitrate and nitrite are 0. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Ok. So I tested my tap water and I am going to use tap to get my ph up. Would I just do a series of small water changes or can I do as much as a single 50% ? Thx Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thank you sweetie. I'll post a few shots tonight. Gonna do some trimming and get this dw boiled and anchored in too. ;) Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thanks Fresh! I'm going to do some trimming and see what happens. Lol. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I think you're exactly right ;/. My ph is the problem. Not the dw. That's my task today. Get my ph up. Thanks y'all! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Thank you so much. Very helpful! I also missed an earlier q. I used Flourite for my soil. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

[ATTACH]244439[/ATTACH This one is for Brookster. They are so green and I do believe they have grown some in the last few days. ;) If you look close you can see one of my puffers too. ;) Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you. You're right the water is just much lighter than the smallest reading so I was incorrectly calling it 0 I'll read up on the mineralizing. Do most people just go with tap and use something to dechlorinate? I thought using the ro/di was a good thing but maybe not as great as I...

Yikes. I guess I've never heard of that ? ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

API Yes, I am using ro/di Ph and high range ph both come up 0 every single time. Bad tests? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I need to get a phosphate test. My ph is testing at 0. How do I get that up? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I missed your post yesterday somehow. Thanks for your input! Did to add the excel to the nitrate solution also? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thanks Fresh! The plants are all starting to look much better. Can't wait to see after a week of ferts! I have these plants I got at the lfs in the beginning that are getting these weird roots from the stems? What do I do with these? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
