    WTB PLANTS wanted

    I have some Caboma and some sort of spiral grass. Those have been going great. Of course Caboma is pretty hard to kill (just as our DNR).

    Newbie questions about plants

    I'm running 2 Magnum 350's. Both with Polishing filter and fiber surround and the two bio-wheels. It might seem like overkill but I have a pretty high bioload. 3 Mollies, 4 Platys, 6 Black Skirt Tetra, 2 dwarf gourami, 4 Harlequin Barb, 2 Pleco, 3 Peacock Eels, 1 Black Ghost Knife, 5-10 ghost...

    Newbie questions about plants

    I've mostly been a fish and plastic plant guy but I added some live plants and they're doing well and I like the looks of them so... I have some caboma and some ball algae (sold as Moss Balls) and some long thin grass looking plants, no idea what they're called but they are doing well Spiral...

    WTB PLANTS wanted

    I have a couple 55g that I'd like to add plants to. Both have a large fish population. I'd like plants that are easy to care for, have low requirements as far as substrate. Colorful plants are a plus but nice green ones are fine as well.

    I managed to get this photo... I was amazed. ;) Actually, it was cloudy here so I didn't get to see it, thanks for sharing!

    mag 350 mod any good?

    Not to hijack completely but what if I just wrap the chemical filter canister with poly-fill? It'll probably reduce flow a little but I'd get polishing and chemical assistance then right? I do have two Magnums, I usually run one polishing and one chemical on a single 55g.

    mag 350 mod any good?

    I'm going to go try and find sponges today. First the dollar tree, then Menard's then Michaels. I think Menard's will have some sea sponges in the painting area. I'd like to go longer than 5 days between filter cleanings.

    Oto sudden death

    I guess buying them fresh or waiting for them to age at the pet store is a debatable topic. Some fish I'd say yes, wait.. but there are some fish that won't last a day in the tanks at the store, not because they die but because they sell out. Black Ghost Knifes for example. They're gone quickly.

    Oto sudden death

    Where the bellies simply plump or were they VERY large? If they're really large it could be a bacteria. Everything else looks fine. I'd take them back and exchange them but maybe look for some without huge bellies? -- Though it doesn't make sense, unless it was the stress in the move from the...

    How do I get rid of planaria?

    No gravel and 100% water change... ? I thought substrate was required for a healthy aquarium? Also, with a 100% water change, you're removing all the good stuff from the water as well as the bad.

    mag 350 mod any good?

    So just a regular very porous sponge would work? I have two Magnum 350's. Once is a pro and one is a deluxe. With the pro, I don't need to use the bio canister because I have the bio wheels? I usually run one carbon with the blue filter media and one polishing filter with bio-balls...
