    Been a long time since I"ve been active, starting a small planted tank.

    Hello, it has been awhile since I've been active on Aquaria Central! I used to have a larger tank that I completely failed at making into a planted tank. I have since given away the tank and it's inhabitants, and moved away from home. I'm looking to start a brand new tank, only this time, I'd...

    Possible swim bladder problem?

    She has pooped recently and she hangs around the filter intake, there isn't too much flow in my tank. Thanks for the advice on the breeder net, I think I'll go buy one so she doesn't have too far to fall if she wants to rest. Thanks!

    Possible swim bladder problem?

    Hello, it's been awhile since I've posted, but my guppy has been behaving rather oddly. She can't seem to keep herself afloat - she will sink straight to the bottom if her fins stop moving. All of her energy is devoted to keeping herself near the surface of the water, and I don't know why. The...

    Wanting to do it right!

    Well, I'd have to get the 30'' for my new tank when I get it (20 gallon long)... Unless those legs are adjustable.

    Wanting to do it right!

    I think I'll run it in to my canister filter. Look good on lighting? http://www.bigalsonline.com/productDetailsPage.mtw?productId=9915905

    Wanting to do it right!

    Hey guys! It's been a looooong time since I've posted. I'm going to be going off to college somewhere and have an apartment all to myself. I can finally get away from the parents telling me "No, you can't bring in something that could potentially explode" So, in my failed attempts at having a...

    Kensfish - good site?

    Ah okay... well, since I have you here... maybe someone will know. I'm going to get the Ecoplus 180 (http://www.kensfish.com/ecopluswaterpumps.html) I don't know if it comes with tubing already or not... has anyone ordered pumps from him before... did they come with tubing? If not, then would...

    Kensfish - good site?

    I've heard that kensfish is a reliable site to order from, but I e-mailed the e-mail listed on the home page twice - and for a week and two days; I haven't gotten a reply. Is this a dead site? Or is Ken busy with something? I'm not trying to come over as one of those impatient disrespectful...

    WHY do you love your Aqua Clear Filters

    Adjustable flow, lots of room to put media in, easy assembly (and taking them apart), quiet, and I've had mine for a few years now, and I've had zero problems with it.

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    Gah, meant to attach photo's with the post, but I was home on break from work and then the internet crapped out on me. Here's the pics. The first two were when I first got them (2 weeks w/no water and light from the LFS) No label. I got them for free. The third pic is a while after the first...

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    I had first got these from an LFS that had them sitting w/o water & light for 2 weeks haha.

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    All the faucets on the inside are connected to them... the city water has a really funky taste to it, the softener gets rid of the taste. I said jungle val because I forgot what I had them ID'ed as, I'm pretty sure they were labeled Tiger Vals after I asked around a lot. When I first got them...

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    I swear, they've sent out plenty of runners, but that's the tallest they've EVER been in my tank. I'm not allowed to TOUCH the water softener in pursuits of fishy glee, as far as my parents are concerned. I asked them and they said that the outside spigots aren't connected to the softener...

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    I'll definitely look in to those GE bulbs... So is there anyway to get rid of the effects of the water softener other than using well water?

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    Here's my light setup... and the more I look at it, the more I consider it to be the problem... hahah. Oh well... might be headed to ahsupply. Retrofitted the hood that my tank came with and added the lights. They stuck out of the bottom of the hood, so to avoid breaking them, I placed black...

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    I might be able to tomorrow... I did a W/C today, so it's full up. If I reach my arms in there, itt'l overflow (I'm a big guy) Pic tomorrow maybe Alternating every day K2PO4 1/16 of a tsp (a tiny pinch) (phosphates) K2SO4 1/8 tsp (potassium) then CSM+B (don't know the exact amt, but I...

    Sooo... My plants aren't growing... and I have no idea why.

    6500 I think. And good God, I've got that gravel from a friend when I first got the tank, about 5 years ago. I've never really bleach washed it, so those are cumulative algae stains.
