Does anyone have pictures of any of this? I saw the xp2 at the fish store and it doesn't look like it would show a lot. Thanks

I actuallt already have a few plants. Crypts i think. The cichlids do dig some but the plants are doing really good so i'm not really worried about that. Mainly i'm just trying to figure out what to buy. What i really want to do is to use my tank as a room divider so i want all the equipment to...

I have a 55 gal tank with cichlids in it. I'm moving in a few months and i want to redo everthing while i have the chance. I have right now a hob bio wheel that i absolutly hate (it's so loud!) so that has to go but i'm not sure what to get it it's place. I was thinking of maybe putting a 10gal...

I have a 55 gal planted with cichlids in it. I am moving in about 2 weeks and am going to take the opportunity to redo mt tank. I have about 2.5 wpg, 10 cichlids, and am going to change the substrate to eco compleate ( i think). I want to get pressurized co2 as well. Anyone know of a good place...

How long will it last? Will I eventually have to change it out?

I have a 55 gal and am getting ready to move so when i have to take the tank down i was going to replace the substrate. Right now i have regular gravel and was wondering what would be a good substrate for me. Eco-complete, flourite, turface, aquatic plant soil? I'm very confused. I dose fert...

I'm looking for a good book on freshwater plants and was wondering what other people had and what they would recommend. Thanks

I want to start real co2, been doing the diy for a while and am sick of it! Anyways i was just wondering what brands other people had and if they like what they have. Trying to decide what to get and help would be great! :D

I was trying to figure out how much to riccia to buy and was wondering if anyone knew how fast it grew. I have a 55 gal with 2.5 wpg, diy co2 (for now), and my own version of a pmdd. Thank you

I'm in the process of planting my 55 gal. about 2.5 wpg, my own version of a pmdd, and diy co2. I am looking for some interesting plants maybe some that are red and was wondering if anyone could recommend anything or if anyone had any for sale or knew of a good place to get something specific...

Spiciffically riccia, sunset hygro, or java fern but if you have any plants you would be willing to sell please let me know. I am trying to plant my 55 gal. Thank you! Rachel

How long does it take mts to start breeding?

Not sure if this is the right place for this but oh well. I have algae and am doing other things to get rid of it but i though that having a litlle algae eating crew couldn't hurt but i'm not sure what to get. My tank is a 55 gal planted, diy co2 with cichlids. The cichlids are the problem...

I think that this is an absolutly beautiful plant! I have 2 questions about it, The first is about lighting, what kind of lighting does it need? I have a 55 gal. with about 2.5 wpg, would that be enough? My second question is how do you get it to stay in the substrate or where you want it? I...

yes it's like and oily substance. The food i'm feeding right now is just flake. There may be some not eaten but i don't think any where near enough to make a film like this. I'll try the paper towel thing anyways. oh i forgot that when it first started there were a lot of bubble on top of the...

I have a 55 gal. tank that i recently started pmdd in. After about a week the top of the water has a film like substance, i guess where the ferts are just floating on the top? Anyways i've tried to mix them in the water better but it keeps happening. Anyone else had this happen? What should i...

Thinking about going to a regular co2 set up has anyone used this http://www.plantguild.com/html/instructions.html or know of a good fairly cheap kit. I don't know a lot about co2 parts so any help would be great!

Okay so i have a 55 gal. planted tank. I set up a diy co2 and at first nothing to a week later i took it apart tried a diff. recipie and different brand of yeast and in a few hrs i had bubbles and target co2 levels. That was yesterday and now today nothing. The bubbles just stopped, if i squeeze...

I actually have clay, it's not the clay powder so i'm not real sure how to go about making the tabs. Should i just put in trace or all the other "ingredients" in too and how much?

How much of the trace did you put in your pellets before you wrapped them in clay? the clay i have is actually clay not powder so i'm not sure how to do it.

Thank you so much for all your help!

Will the light be okay over 2x24'' hood? I think i'm going to start with a diy co2 and then eventually when i have the money go to a real one.

Would a 48'' versa hood fit over the brace, or could i have a 48" light over 2x 24'' hood. I already have a light that was given to me and i want to use it, it's http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=29553;category_id=1875.

Mine came with 2x24'', I wanted to but a versa all glass hood pref. a 48'' but my lfs said that because of the bracket i couldn't and would have to have 2x24''. I don't know the manufacturer of the tank. If it helps it was just one that i bought at petsmart around christmas, actually it was a...
