    Help, yellowing plants

    Sounds like nutrient deficiencies, when I get plants that lose color, I up the potassium and magnesium dosing. Plus that is alot of light for that volume of water, which is also compounded by the fact that you do not dose nutrients. Look into the Sticky at the top of this forum for EI dosing...

    Have you lost a fish in yer tank and then found it again?

    Thats how BN plecos work for me, I get them around the 1" mark. Then I place them a large 100+ gal planted tank. Then I dont see them for a few months or until they get too large to hide in the plants or driftwood. Then after that, I always see the little beggars at dinnertime.

    Disaster Strikes!

    Those aquarium thermometers are filled with alcohol, its relatively safe in an aquarium. Only lab or professional grade equipment will still use mercury.

    How much money...

    This is a great topic, made me think about what I've done and the plants I've lost as they've become learning tools, hehe. I think in a decade of playing with aquariums, I could easily say I've lost maybe $100-200, but that figure is only really that high, because before I knew better. I was...

    New plants on fri

    Next time, leave the lights on for about 8 hrs instead. You might be starving them of light, do you dose nutrients or fertilize?

    Lighting in 75 Gallon Tank

    How high are the lights suspended over the substrate and do you have any carpeting/foreground plants currently. If so, how are they doing?

    DIY - Root Tabs

    True clay, not synthetic polymer based clay is key. It does not matter if it powder or semi-hydrated, it is the same thing, with differing amounts of water. Powder clay will be easier to mix with other dry ingredients, and allows better control with regards to moisture levels. Because you have...

    emersion question

    The key is keeping the humidity high enough with a cover, but keeping them cool at the same time so they are not cooked in the mean time. It will take some time for new growth, since terrestrial plants have a thicker cuticle to prevent moisture loss.

    And use cotton thread, it will break down after awhile, avoid nylon or sythetics.

    What kind of bulbs should I get?

    That is actually plenty of light, maybe too much without the addition of CO2. T5 bulbs should be good for 12 months+ and some do run them until they die. But I would increase Excel dosage to every 1-2 days and cut back Flourish dosing to maybe once per week. Next, I would look into increasing...

    Inline heater with Fluval ribbed hoses?

    You can replace those lines with drinking water hose from an R/V supplier or similar, those ribbed hoses are a PITA.

    I didn't rinse my Fluorite...

    Next time, load a filter with filter floss and use some Seachem Clarity, its clears the water really fast.
