I'm setting up a new "low light" 10 gal. aquarium. I'm going to use a 15 watt flourescent with a standard hood with no glass between the water and bulb. Tank will have flourite substrate and full of "low light" plants such as Anubias, Bolbitus H., Rotalla Indica, and Java Fern Narrow, Lace,...

Could this plant be in a constant battle for nutrients in other plants ? Or I m just worried too much as it grow really slow. I have a 100 planted tank. other plants are doing just fine.... Recently I've introduced it among cabomba and miriphilium... both are doing great..... PH 7.2 GH of...

Hello all. I decided to try a DIY CO2 generator (soda bottle, yeast, sugar) in my aquarium (about 63 gal). I used a valve preventing aquarium water siphoning into the bottle. What about the other way round? How can I prevent yeast mixture from getting into aquarium? Couple of days ago the...

Looking for a good source of plants within Canada. Any recommendations. Even if not within Canada maybe a source that ships to Canada. Thanks

With it being pc lighting I think you could be OK... I have a 75 with 4x65 watts and co2 that I actually only run 4x65 for about 6 hours in the middle of a 12 hour light cycle. My glosso (loves lots of light) seems to hug the gravel pretty well and spreads very fast. Which to me is at least...

Hi, What kind of plants would be good for a nice carpet look in the foreground. I have a 30g tank with 55w pc lighting. I will be soon adding pressurized co2 and a 100% flourite substrate. I know that many of the "carpet type" plants like Lilaeopsis require high light but 55w is all I...

I just want to say thanks to LeighMo. I've been fighting with algae for a long time and was going nuts. Followed LeighMo advised and no more algae.

I got one of these for just two pounds last week. It's a little tatty but looks like it will be a beauty. Does anybody know if it has a synonym as I can't find jack about it anywhere? (And how on earth do you pronounce that name?) -- Graham Ramsay You might be a Bright: www.the-brights.net

I have kept this plant for years with success but recently have had problems... I set-up a new tank: 54 gallon RO water Tropica liquid fertilizer 2 compact flouresant bulbs totaling 110 watts fluorite gravel Duplarit and Seachem (gravel) fertilizer

Bill Beam wrote in message ... Is a watt a watt? I was told by a dealer that the compact smartlite is a lot more intense so I don't have to follow the 2.5 watts per gallon rule to grow plants. Is this true? Different...

I'm looking to buy some Tropica Master Grow in the Denver area. Unless some store locally has it cheap, my plan is to buy a 5 liter size from Big Al's Online for $50.00. That's about half the price when buying it by the 500ml container ($10.99 for a 500ml container at Big Al's). So, does anyone...

Hello everyone :0 I recently won part of a battle with cyanobacteria by dosing nitrates (salt petre). The cyano slowly over a period of days began to recede, a few tufts of algae have appeared on leaves since then but nothing serious. What I need to know is when you are dosing ferts how long do...

Hello Group I read a thread earlier about the ammount of co2 in the tank and how to read the chart at Chucks amazing website. I know that the chart does not work if you have added buffers to the tank. My problem is that I have not taken a co2 reading as yet cause I don't have the test kit to...

Recently my anubias has been yellowing a little here and there. I came back from long trip the other day and one of the leaves is completely yellow (a bright bananna yellow at that). Is there some nutrient missing? I know it gets plenty of light because my cabomba in the same tank is growing like...

You were not getting enough CO2 before.. 22 bubbles per minute is decent - certainly not high. I'm pumping 3 bubbles per second into my 75G. What size tank do you have? - ghazanfar ghori "Tim Stephens" wrote in...
