Thank you Fishorama! It's flame moss I attached to a piece of cholla log. I also tucked in some mini christmas moss in some spots and weeping moss on wood branches. The shrimp love it!

Thank you! I had fun with it :)

It's Aquasoil Amazonia

Started this little 10 gal tank up last August. I was originally going to stock it with Chili Rasboras but decided I wanted to try keeping shrimp. Ordered some pandas, king kongs and blue bolts in February. I love them! I can watch these little guys forever. So fascinating watching these super...

Mike I'm sooo so glad everything seems to be working out for you! GLA really does offer wonderful products which they stand behind. Happy to hear you aren't upset with me and regretting your purchase ;) Well worth the extra $ to have a working product and peace of mind! I'm also happy to hear...

Hey Mike! Your dosing plan sounds pretty good. You could probably dose your micro (trace) every other day. Plants need nitrogen, potassium and phosphate (NPK) the most (those are your macros). Trace are needed in smaller amounts, but are needed in the beginning to help get things going and...

Well...good news! Painters started today!!! House is totally chaotic. Just how it goes i guess. They're mudding the high spots where the house settled and I couldn't reach. Kitchen got the first coat as well as the ceilings. EVERYTHING was covered with plastic tarp...I didn't know what to do...

Unsure if BettaFix will solve the problem as I do not know what his problem is, only assuming. I haven't used BettaFix and have no experience with it. Do your research, figure out what he has and go from there. I know you're looking to do what's best for the little guy. Good luck to both of you :)

My phone isn't letting me see these super well. But here's some info you can look at. If he has tiny white specs/dots, it's ich. I "think" but can't be sure, again, tiny phone pics, it might be columnaris, which is bacterial caused by poor water. Or it could be fin/tail rot (also bacterial)...

Try Chemiclean to kill the cyanobacteria.

I've been really trying to see his fins. Can't tell for sure if it's bacterial or fungal...which are 2 totally different treatment methods. Since you can actually see your betta up close and in person, I would search the net to see if you can figure out which of the 2 he has and treat...

Nitrate #2 test bottle needs to be shaken REALLY well (think arms about to fall off tired shaken). It can skew the test results if not shaken well enough. Could be the Stability too.

Bettas should be kept in a 5 gallon, filtered, heated aquarium. They are tropical fish, 78 degrees is ideal for temperature. Looks like it could be a bacterial infection. Do you test the water? Dechlorinate it? How often do you change the water? What are you feeding him?

Hey Mike :) Sounds like your cycle is coming along quite nicely! As far as the info on Easy Green is concerned, I researched it, and came up with confusing findings as at the time I purchased they had regular Easy Green and Nano Easy Green. I was watching Cory live on Youtube a while back and I...

Hey Mike! Ok, so when I had the co2 running I was dosing ADA's Green Brighty step 1 every day starting week 2. I dosed nothing the first week since the aquasoil is so jam packed with nutrients and my plants were melting faster than the Wicked Witch of the East with a face full of water. The...

Mike!!! Your tank is coming along quite nicely!!! The picture never loaded on my phone earlier. I have to admit I was a little bummed when you said you were going to be keeping the Aquatek after the company had offered to take it back. I'm relieved to see you woke to find it not...

Mike, I'm sitting in my car waiting for my son to get out of school. I've tried typing a response but my phone is making up words and taking over my conversation. Can't stand auto correct! I'll be back on soon I promise.

I got myself the Cal Aqua Labs' Nano drop checker which comes with their solution. Taken directly from their solution refill description: "60 ml. Indicator refill solution for use with CAL AQUA LABS’s CO2 checkers. It consists of a premade 4dKH solution containing the appropriate amount of...

Sorry for the delay on responding. I've been neck deep mudding and sanding my walls. Prepping for wall paint! Mike, have you decided if you're returning the regulator or not? Aquatek doesn't have a super long warranty so I'd take their offer in the chance you get one that works as intended. The...

Mike, I'm more than happy and willing to share what I know, what I have learned, and what I have experienced. Remember, I knew NOTHING about ANYTHING related to fish keeping, let alone high tech planted tanks. I know the struggle of trying to find legit info on ANY of these topics. You find one...
