Sweet! I hope petsmart never stops this program is selling tissue culture plants.. the value is just amazing!

Agreed. It such an awesome deal. The pack I got has a ton of crowns.

What the heck, my petsmart doesn't have diddly squat!

That's sucks. It's still expanding I think. I know the Petsmart that's 5 minutes further from me doesn't. Petco has some ok stuff too.

 

[Jkeating8]

Anyone have advice for good moonlighting?

I guess I'll have to check some other locations then. I'm gonna need some DHG for my rescape...

Oops! Spoiler alert.

I really like Belem but it grows soooooo slow.

 

[Billbug68]

Well I was considering UG but I feel like it'll be just as big of a pain as HC. I think DHG will look good with what I have in mind.

The emersed grown DHG at petsmart labeled as e. Parvula works well for a foreground carpeting plant. I still have a hard time understanding the difference between it and e. Belem. I saw a post of a huge portion of someone selling belem in TPT (for a hefty price tag for just 2x2 of it) and it looked identical to the petsmart stuff. Makes me wonder if either the TPT post was mislabeled or if petsmart mislabeled it and it's actually belem. I almost never have to trim it either.

Do you guys think it's alright to go ahead and add the purigen? It's been 5 weeks.

Can't you start it day1?

I've heard that it messing with the cycling process. I think.

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

Yeah that's why it says on the Seachem site. Make sure your tank is fully cycled before using it.

I'm pretty sure it's cycled because it's been 5 weeks, but I'll give it another week.

I know these are pretty popular (and relatively inexpensive) moonlights: Aquarium LED Blue Moon Light 18 LEDs 1 ft Strip 250 Lumens 12 inch Power | eBay

ill look into those! Thanks, bud.

 

[Zimmanski]

Trulumen makes a 3bulb LED that is expandable and dimable, I use them and love them, I also know (if I remember correctly) Brian uses them too

 

[Brian_Nano12g]

Yeah they're nice... but I think the'd cost way more than that one on ebay. Another option, if you have a costco membership... they have a full on RGB LED strip light kit for 29$. It's the same one here:
