For Sale: Milwaukee model SMS 122 pH controller - used, great working condition, but needs new pH electrode (about 40-45 bucks?) I'll include old electrode - it worked enough for me to use it, but it's pretty cruddy. Milwaukee model MA957 CO2 regulator - used, great working condition Both...

Decided i need to start working a little on this tank which has been sitting around for 7 months with no fertilizer, food, or pruning. Current stock: 12 SAEs, 3 Gold Gouramis, 3 Platinum Gouramis, 3 A. Thomasi Cichlids, and a BN Pleco and some plants. So anybody have any aquascaping...

I have a bunch of teeny tiny green specks floating on the surface of my tank that are so prolific that they quickly block light to the rest of my tank. Seems to be some sort of plant or algae... really tiny hard little green suckers, remind me of volvox colonies (though not microscopic). I...

Updated tank shot: 75gal planted, 3 months old (eventual goal: planted mbuna) Travis, Lonewolf - Thanks for the advice about overdosing iron possibly being linked to cloudy water... I cut down on my iron a bit and the tank is clear again - steady clear for 2 weeks now, though it did take...

After a couple months of growth, my glosso carpet is thick, and catches bits of riccia, etc that grow and make a mess... so, how do I get this under control? Rip it all up? Trim it? Vaccuum the carpet? Wonder if there's a nice looking ground cover that requires less maintenance.

Recently, when I fertilize my tank for NPK (3x weekly alternating with CSM+B+iron) the water clouds up by the next day just like new tank syndrome with a cloud of bacteria. 75gal tank a few months old 1 Filstar XP3 with plenty of bio media cleaned every 2-3 weeks Heated to 77 deg F pH 7.2...

I've had my 75gal wall mounted planted tank up for a few months now, and it's going pretty well: I pretty much have fertilization down, water changes are a cinch, and plants are growing like nuts, including a nice fluffy lawn of glosso with intermittent riccia patches. However, I recently...

FS: 75gal used aquarium in good shape. $65.00 Flat, not negotiable. Details: I'm a perfectionist, so when setting up my new wall-mounted 75gal freshwater system, I determined that this tank had too many scratches, so I went with a new tank. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = brand new, 10 =...

My 75gal Planted tank has been going a couple weeks now and has seen LOTS of growth, esp my rotala, anacharis, glosso and ambulia. My glosso bed is beginning to grow horizontally and filling in nicely. I do have a couple questions though. After discovering a gross error in my fertilization...

I'm still new at this stuff... can anyone tell me what this junk is growing on the pennywort? If it's algae, what can I do about it? Is this the kind of stuff SAEs eat? -dave-

Besides my struggles with Glosso which, thanks to the helpful folks on this forum I've tackled, so far, I'm having some trouble with riccia. Here's some shots of my failed attempt to follow instructions at www.nature-aquarium.com. Doesn't seem to be of the same quality as those pics at...

Got some plants today, incl. Riccia which proceeded to disintegrate all over my tank making a mess... and glosso that looks like this: :?: Isn't this a little tall? Do I plant this as a clump, or break it up and plant 'em in tiny bundles? -dave-

Hi all, I'm new here, so I'd like to say hi and introduce myself. My name's Dave and I've been a reef aquarist for about 4-5 years. I lost a 55gal reef to an electrical accident (lesson: don't throw a heater you just dropped on the floor back into your tank and leave for work). Afterwards, I...
