    Awesome! Thanks! I'm going to run a test on my tap water and see where I'm at, and then I will post back here and we can tweak the stocking. :)

    Very cool. Do they require soft acidic water too?

    Stocking ideas for 46g Bow

    Thanks! I'm aware that snails and shrimp don't usually dwell together due to the difference it water conditions. I think my water is slightly hard...just slightly, I think. I'd prefer shrimp over snails, are there shrimps that do well in slightly hard water? Hmm...guess I should run a test on...

    Stocking ideas for 46g Bow

    I don't know yet...if I do, it'll be the homemade yeast in juice bottle kind of system...which I have done; but I found my plants grew fairly well with or w/o that. I forget what my lighting was...it was on the high-side of moderate, I believe, but it worked for me with no algae issues....and...

    Stocking ideas for 46g Bow

    Just showed the stocking to my other half, and he loves the idea. He's fine with green neons, we looked them up. :) We'll post pics on our progress. Definitely doing a moderately planted tank, my last tank was planted and I think it helped both the fish feel more comfortable, and improved the...

    Stocking ideas for 46g Bow

    Thanks so much for your suggestions! . I love Bolivians and cories, and have experiences with both (I lost my Bolivians with the heater/light fiasco...so sad...I'm getting all teary just thinking about it). This is an excellent combo, I think...I love shrimp, and my other half loves neons (and I...

    Stocking ideas for 46g Bow

    A couple years ago, I had to tear down my tank when the light fixture and heater broke within a week of each other. I lost a bunch of fish, and I didn't have the time or money to fix things (I was a grad student). So, I tore it down (and became inactive in the forums). Well, I graduated a...

    Friend in Desperate Need of Algae Help

    Thank you, that was my response to him, essentially. But letting him know someone agrees with me will help.

    He says that the UV won't work because the cyanobacteria covers his rocks.

    Thank you Zaffy, I agree with you. I will advise him as such. Thanks for your responses, everyone!

    Friend in Desperate Need of Algae Help

    Thanks for the help so far. There is no way to "fix" this problem. If he doses, there is still a chance he can get cyanobacteria from another source. When I was researching it, I read a study that found the presence of cyanobacteria spores in drinking water...so I guess the best solution thus...

    Not really, the tank is near a sliding glass door, but it is on the west wall, so it doesn't get much direct sun. I don't think he has a phosphate kit, but I can ask.

    Oh, I should mention the plants are real, all low light.

    Friend in Desperate Need of Algae Help

    That was my guess. So I researched methods to get rid of it, and it says it grows in low nitrate situations....his tank clearly doesn't lack nitrate, so the treatment I read of doing a 3 day blackout, and then adding N to the 20ppm range, doesn't fly... He has cleaned it out to the best of his...

    Friend in Desperate Need of Algae Help

    My friend has a severe algae problem, but I have had little experience with this type of algae and I don't know what advice to give. Situation: Severe algae. It regrows within 24 hours of being removed; and triples in a weeks time. Based on the pictures I have seen, and his description, I am...
