    Keeping Glosso / Dwarf Hairgrass Alive Until Wood Arrives?

    So my plants (glosso and hairgrass) are arriving today. YAY! However, the driftwood that I plan on using in the rescape hasn't arrived yet (hopefully here by the end of the week, but maybe not until the beginning of next week). I'm not realy sure what to do with the plants. I'm wary of just...

    Jello DIY CO2

    I swirled it around and its back to normal. next time I do this I'll cube the jello...does that just mean cut it up? like in the bottle? because I make it in the 2L bottle and I can't see how you can get cubes in through the top.

    Jello DIY CO2

    So I started my CO2 system about 2 weeks ago with a Jello CO2 mix. however, it has started to slow down (definitely noticing less bubbles). i've heard that with Jello CO2 you have to pour out the top liquid every so often (every 2 weeks actually, lol). So do I literally just open up the bottle...

    Figured I'd check here along with the net to see if anyone has any of these little guys for sale. Only looking for maybe 5ish. Shipping from online stores is brutal, though, so trying to avoid that

    Amano Shrimp and a Betta?

    lol, sorry for all your loses then msj. yea, like I said, he doesn't seem to care that any of the other animals even exist. I saw the snail chewing on his tail one day (he was laying near the bottom of the tank and the snail had bumped into him and started munching on his tail) and I had to...

    Amano Shrimp and a Betta?

    I was thinking of getting a handful of amano shrimp (ya for having a cleanup crew), but I've heard different things about how bettas react to shrimp. I know a lot depends on the betta and his temperment. I've had my betta for about 6 months now and he is currently living with 6 neons, 2 ADF...

    Substrate Selection - Suggestions?

    Well I have schultz in my tank right now...its kinda like tiny little pieces of "something" (don't know what it is). I was considering changing the substrate because of I like the darker color better, but I'm just wondering if there are any other benefits to SMS over Schultz or vice versa

    Substrate Selection - Suggestions?

    what is the difference between Soilmaster Select and Schultz Aquatic soil? I know that both are supposed to be good because of cation exchange and that neither has the same nutrient value (to start out with) of like flourite, but is there any specific differences between the two? Is one better...

    Substrate Selection - Suggestions?

    I should probably just make a rescape thread instead of all of these random ones, but I just keep thinking of things lol (I should really be studying for my 2 exams tomorrow bah! :eek3:) So since everything is going to be coming out of the tank anyway, I might as well entertain the idea of...

    Keeping Glosso from Going Verticle?

    So I'm set for the rescape. Yay! :devil: Got some new wood and couple of ground cover plants (glosso and hairgrass) all coming in within the next 2 weeks (hopefully).
