always wanted to do a shrimp tank, good luck

thanks for the replies. I've taken the driftwood out for now and did two massive water changes back to back. The Ammonia levels have dropped but not gone yet. hopefully it was just the plant removal that caused the mini-cycle, the wood is actually a nice piece. I'll soak it in another tank for...

I rescaped my tank last week and cut back a lot of my live plants that were getting out of control. One thing I did was add a piece of drift wood that had been sitting in the garage for some time (I now know this is probably where my mistake occurred). I woke up today and noticed many of my fish...

I have an established 38galllon tall tank, planted, with a 3-4 gallon sump filtration system. I currently have: 2x Angel Fish 1x Swordtail 1x German Blue Ram 1 Cherry barb (left over from a cherry barb colony 3+ years ago) I have plenty of space but don't know what to add. I either want to...

Sold Out ::)

not rude at all. I appreciate the help. I don't know if I can edit the post but yes, I'll charge the 5.25

Honestly, this is my first time selling and I only copied the prices and shipping I saw on another java moss post. This is what they had listed and it was my starting point. I planned to tell anyone that wanted the moss I would refund them the difference of actual shipping because I really don't...

I recently cut out a huge chunk of Java Moss from my tank. I'm going try and sell some of it. My tanks are disease free but I may have some hitch-hiking snails. Golf ball portions - $3 Baseball portions - $7 Shipping to the continental US: 8 Dollars priority mail. Email me at...

So I spent the day working on the classroom shrimp tank. I had a bubble box filter sitting in the sump of my main tank for a day. I also did a water change on my main tank and saved a gallon to help kick-start the cycle for my soon to be 10 gallon shrimp tank. Crappy pictures, but here is a...

Hey All, I'm a school teacher and I think a Cherry Shrimp tank will go great in my classroom. I don't have access to a sink and water so whatever I do I need to keep it small and low maintenance. Science teachers are down the hall so I'll need to lug water back and forth from there. I was...

Thanks. I'll start looking for those things.

Hey all, I am setting up a 10 gallon planted shrimp tank in my classroom. I will be using some basic stock lighting, no Co2, no ferts, probably a sponge filter, black gravel. I was thinking fake plants might be the way to go, but if you can recommend some ultra low maintenance live plants that...

I recently had a huge amount of moss growing in my aquarium and I created one of those 'moss walls.' I took mesh, put the moss between it, sowed it up, and stuck suction cups through it all to mount it to the back. So far no moss coming through, but it has been less then 36 hours so no rush. My...

I have a sump with Co2 system. So far it seems to be doing alright. I say do it, and see what kind of growth response you get.

I have that set up in a 38G tall. Time will judge if it does any good.

I just picked up the Fluval 88g-co2 set-up. I put the thing together last night. So far it look likes its operating well. I can't wait to see what kind of growth I get with my plants. Anyone know where I can get the 88g-co2 canisters in bulk? I see a 3-pack for around 36 dollars but if I can get...

thanks for all the input. I think I may have to pass on this tank after all, but it's so darn tempting. :-(

I'm no novice to freshwater fish, I've had them for a while and have been somewhat successful. My friend is getting rid of his 90G satlwater tank with lights, skimmers, sumps, pumps, heaters, fans, and hood. Literally throwing in 'the works.' The problem is my house is small and I don't have...

I'm just curious. I plan on going out and getting some liquid ferts for my plants, but before I even research which ones to pick up I was wondering what role Carbon would play in sucking them right out of the water? I know carbon absorbs things in the water, does that include liquid...

thanks! Jerseyman, A few I bought from the fish store and the rest I found while hiking or walking along the beach.
