In my turtle tank, I've had luck with those floaters and Ceratophylum demersum (coontail). It's a fast growing, low light, submersed that doesn't root. Just keep in mind you may need to supply additional light in the appropriate spectrum for any plant growth. In addition to my Repti-sun, I have...

Looking to purchase (for a fair price) a few clumps of dwarf hairgrass, pickup or shipped to 14103. Starting a planted 10g fw shrimp tank and need a good foreground plant, I will entertain other plant species ideas if you have a different foreground plant that creates great "carpets" or cover...

I recommend a filter media product called chemi-pure. I know a lot of folks who use it and I swear by it for my planted tanks. I'm sure some ppl will have other ideas, but check out the product reviews and decide if it's for you. Good luck! Sent from my iPod touch using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

You are trying to detect differences in growth and survival by diet type. So those are the only two factors you want your test to vary by; meaning all other conditions for these two groups of fry must be the same (this can be accomplished by somehow making sure that these two groups experience...

So if I'm remembering my biostats correctly, you do not need a control for this type of experiment; as long as you are feeding these fry the same quantity and of food every feeding. You are interested in the differences between the means of growth and survival of two treatment groups. In this...

In your opinion, which is your favorite or the best fish supply, LFS, in western and/or central NY? I live half-way between Rochester and Buffalo, so driving to either is relatively easy. I mainly keep FW fish and shrimp in planted tanks and I am always interested in new stock and supplies. Any...

I have access to Alnus glutinosa cones. This years (green) and last years (brown). They grow like crazy here. Being a wetland ecologist, I would be interested in your results! PM me.

Ok thanks. Being new to the invert scene, I wanted to be sure and get the advice of experienced keepers. Thanks again to those who replied! If anyone has experience/suggestions for their favorite lighting, I would appreciate it. Sent from my iPod touch using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Thanks but I'm talking about the temperature of the bulbs, not the water temp. These "temps" are typically used in planted tanks for plant growth. I am curious if those bulb temps will be suitable for inverts such as RCS or if they need different temp bulbs for growth/repro.

Correction *RCS

I have a 46gal planted tank that has been cycling for 6 weeks in which I am starting my first invert tank. Currently the tank is lit with 78 watts HO 6500K and 10000K bulbs. My question centers around the temperature of the bulbs. Are these temperatures appropriate for successful invert (CRS)...

Unbelievable. The drinks are terrible anyway.

Sorry, unable to PM. Looking to purchase 20 shrimp shipped to 14103. Again, sorry about no PM.

I prepared the Chemi pure according to the directions, and did not use any other additives at the time. I have used chemi-pure in my 55 gallon and the 125 with great results, which is why this situation confused me. I removed the chemi -pure for 24 hours and added some Amquel plus( another...

I have an established planted amazon 29 gal that I have been using activated carbon to filter for 3 years now and have never lost a fish. I maintain all my aquariums with great care, so this problem vexes me. I switched to Chemi-Pure yesterday and removed the activated carbon filter media...
