Ok, so the stuff is growing really, really well. Loads of side shoots jutting out nearly horizontal, densely leafed, and creeping along the gravel horizontally which I'm reading it does under high light? What the what?! I guess the sun is responsible because it's surely not a single t8 doing...

It still has thread holding it on the driftwood and it's already making baby plants on the leaves! What do I do to harvest for relocation and when? And will the mother plant survive this? There are babies on nearly all of the leaves which seems draining to me... but then maybe that's because...

I found one and only one. Well, technically, the kids spotted it and named it "tiny". Dang it. If I leave it, can a single reproduce? I don't want a bunch of pond snails munching on my plants but the kids are excited about the little slimer. We already have two nerites and a mystery snail so...

Bless them, they believe they are helping, don't they? I went in to look while out shopping and they had (gasp!) Threadfin Rainbow fish. Those are high on my "wish I had" list. Looked at them for a while to gauge heath and they seemed in great shape. Surprisingly good color for being stuck...

Stopped in at the fish store on my way home and looked through the tanks. I saw a black khuli peeking out from under driftwood. Crossed my fingers and asked the lady if she would see whether there were a couple more in there. They had three so I took all of them. She said she got a batch in...

I have a few plants coming tomorrow (yaaaaay!) from Peabody's. Should I stick them in a quarantine tank for a period of time before introduction to the established tank? Are there benefits other than snail control? Melting leaves happening outside the tank, perhaps?

Anyone have a large siphon that they can name the brand and tell me what the flexible tubing inside diameter is? I want to order a siphon and the attachments I need for my project and it would be really great if they all fit together when everything arrives! I was looking at the Hagen, the...

It was so easy with a little tank -- just a few gallon jugs to move. Now, I have a 65 on the second floor. I looked at Python water changers but it's a freshwater tank so it's valuable organic fertilizer for my garden! I don't want to throw it away. But how to get 15-20 gallons from the tank...

I'm not new to fishkeeping but I've always had artificial plants. I'd like to put a few live ones in but not sure if there is enough light. The tank is freshwater, ph of 7.5, 65 gallons so 24" tall, and it has a single 25w fluorescent fixture with silver reflectors all around the bulb. The...

Hello, everyone! I've just joined because I'm setting up a new 65 freshwater. It's a big upgrade from a little bitty Eclipse. I moved all of the decorations over (uncleaned) and stuck the Biowheel down into the bio media of the canister filter (Eheim 2215) when I moved the fish over. I'm...
