Been away for awhile. Tank just sat and finally my 260w lunar lamp blew it's last ballast. Got me a new LED fixture and now it's time to start getting the tank planted up again. Lights been on for a week now, CO2 was filled 4 days ago (Dang orings need replaced and my solenoid smoked it's...

I just recently got the planted tank bug again. So I cleaned up my 75g that has been pretty much untouched for the last 6 to 9 months. CO2 and lights stayed on their normal schedule, but no ferts or water changes. I didn't even clean the filter. I just replanted all the plants that remained and...

Stopped by Alpha Pro Breeders to pick up some supplies and left with a dozen OEBT's. I also purchased a couple PFR's to add to my cherry colony.

After many years of wanting them, I finally bought 30 cherry shrimp for my 28 gallon tank. Searched graigslist and found a guy about an hour away from me selling them for a buck a piece. Not to bad. I had a spong that I purchased about 5 years ago for these shrimp, but never used it. I...

Re-doing my tank and would like to go towards a schooling type of fish and some shrimps. These fish do not allow me to do so as they are carnivores. I have had them for close to 6 years and need a good home for them to go to. Local pickup only. I live in Warren, ohio. 44483 Brown african...

I have been a member of this site for over 6 years and during that time I have invested untold amounts of money and to many hours to count on aquatic macrophytes. Over the past 3 years, I have let my tanks just sit there and not much of anything else. Several weeks ago, I got the 'bug' again...

Finally getting around to whipping my planted tanks back into shape and would like to add some different types of plants in them. I am looking for some more exotic type plants or maybe something that I haven't owned YET. The amount of species that I once owned has been getting depleted. (Not...

I pulled atleast 10 yards of this stuff out of my 28 gallon a few months ago. No kidding. The runners I left were being shadowed by other plants and I just didn't notice and now they are all gone. I really liked this plant. So, if you have any, I will paypal you are we could trade up. This is...

Here is a new one for me. Every since going to medium light many months ago, I have had Cladophora algae all through my HC and mosses. I have went back to high-light a couple of months ago, but I can't seem to get ride of this algae. I don't know what started it. I would have to assume that...

I just replaced my coralife 03 bulbs with 10,000K ones. These 03's where in use since 7/16/07, so about 40 days. I was thinking about 30 bucks plus shipping for both of them since the Coralife ones run about 30 bucks a bulb.

I purchased a coralife lunar light for my 75 gallon tank about a month ago and left the 03 bulbs in there to try out the tank at about 2 WPG. My glosso is growing upwards now, many of my stem plants have lost all their lower leaves, my Hydrocotyle verticillata is just dying, and the Tonina sp...

Just wanted to give someone a heads up that the forum header is acting up. Description: Warning: main() [function.main]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Temporary failure in name resolution in /home/aquaadvi/public_html/cache/tpl_subSilver.overall_header.php on line 341 Warning...

I am just wondering if anyone is a member of this club. http://home.neo.rr.com/ohaquariumclubs/yatfs.html I would like to know how big the meetings are and what is discussed at them. Thanks, Randy.

Yes, I finally did it. I just purchased 10 bags of the ridiculously priced Eco-Complete from the good Dr's. I figure that should be enough for both of my tanks (one 75 gallon and one 28 gallon). If not, I will just have to mix in some other type of black substrate. What a chore I have ahead...

Please let me know if you have any for sale. Thanks, Randy

I am trying to upload some pictures from a server and I can't seem to figure out how to use the upload features. In the extra's section in the upload page it lists "Retrieve all images from a URL:" How do I use this? I put in my servers address and then it says processing your request, then...

I just removed all the Glosso from my 28 gallon tank, due to trying something different. Most of this plant is grown as runners, but some of it grew upwards due to being shaded. I would like to get 10 dollars for this and it includes shipping within the US. I prefer non-CC paypal. I am making...

I received this plant as a freebee, if you will, when I purchased some plants off of Ebay. Originally I thought it was Echinodorus quadricostatus, due to the leaf shape. They are long and thin, but the length has grown to surpass 12 inches now. This sword looks just like Echinodorus...

If you would like to trade, this is all I have ATM: Bacopa caroliniana Bacopa "Colorata" Bacopa monnieri Blyxa japonica Cabomba palaeformis Didiplis diandra Echinodorus bleheri 'compacta' Echinodorus osiris Echinodorus quadricostatus Glossostigma elatinoides Heteranthera zosterifolia...

I have had BBA problems for over a month now. Per the KH/pH charts my CO2 was always around 30 PPM, so I never thought that was the problem, but guess what, it was. I had found that the KH/pH chart maybe a good reference, but with the test kits we use, it is hard to get the actual KH or pH...

I just completed my new light fixture for my 28 gallon bowfront aquarium, so I figured I would show how I did it and maybe this will help someone down the road. Items needed: (2) shoplights from Home Depot. (part# 732-334. comes in a grey and white box) (4) 24" aquarium blubs. (purchased at...

I was just going through my older aquarium pictures and didn't realize how different my tank looks today vs the day I set it up. I thought it would be nice to see how others have transformed over time. I know there are many treads with pictures that show the whole progression, but I believe it...

This side of the planted forum gets more traffic, so I was hoping to get more feedback this way. I hope this is alright. I just spent a good many hours redoing my tank. Please let me know what you think. Don't hold back. Thanks, Randy. Here is the link...

My Aulonocara stuartgranti cichlid fry that I have in my 28 community tank until they get old enough to go into my 46 gal cichlid tank. My guppy fry that are also in the 28 gallon tank. and my newest addtion, my tiger barb fry. So small that it's hard to photograph them. So, my hands are...

(Long post)First off, this is embarrassing for me to say, but this plant DOES have some BBA on it. Last week after I finally setup my pressurized CO2, my plants grew so much that my system flow diminished to the point were BBA started to tank ahold of my tank. So some of the leaves of this plant...
