Hi all has anyone ever used "Interpet Antislime algae " treatment.Just wondered if it works, TIA.....Alan -- freeserve.co.uk

My Tank is 48x18x24 deep so I've got about 20" of water depth. Its got a sand substrate, Cannister filters and CO2 injection from a gas bottle which is controlled by a Ph meter. Rough calculation says about 20ppm CO2. Over the top are 4x42" 40W tubes with reflectors on them & glass condensation...

I was wondering whether anyone was using one of the Hagen Biolife internal wet/dry filters in their planted tanks? Is it going to be a CO2-injected tank? Wet/dry filters can dissipate a lot of CO2. I also don't like the idea of an internal filter. The Biolife (if it's the one I'm thinking of)...

Ok, I've decided to take the plunge and try a planted tank. Thought I'd start with my 10 gallon and then move to the other. I've done the research, bought new gravel and substrate. New filter and heater. Bought new bulbs to raise the watts/gallon. About to do the work and now I hear about...

Ricky has put up more pics of the Rainbow River and the lower Suwanee and Rum island etc. Some are quite good IMO. http://tom-barr.aquatic-plants.org/ A couple are good submersed shots and give a good idea of what everyone else missed out on. Not a bad dinner either.

Hey, I am moving to college in about 5 days and have gotten an aparment with my friend and am bringing my aquariums with me, actually im selling my 55 to a friend for use as a terrium but i am aquariung a brand new All-Glass 55g set up with pine stand and top/lights for only 159.99... I couldnt...

After some extensive tank changes, I no longer have one of my favorite plants, A. reineckii. I have sent clippings to enough folks on this list that I'm sure a lot of folks must have some! I'd be happy to paypal shipping or send some variegated rotala macrandra in trade. My email is dave (at)...

Walked into the room and saw one of my clowns being frantically chased by the other... back and forth, but one had a white shell in it's mouth, I presumed a snail... until I saw that my Anubias, Nana and Barteri that were blooming at the same time, wonder why, had been devoured by my...

How do I get this stuff under control! It is starting to form en masse right under the water flow of the filter and on the leaves of one of the older plants. Some of these strands look to be longer than 1/2" long. Here is the set-up 55g freshwater 600 gph filter pH approx. 8.0 ammonia 0 nitrite...

All, I am planning on finally setting up my 7 gallon Bowfront. I am going to go with the Eco Complete Substrate.. I think starting off I am going to stick with low to med light plants. I don't know if I am going to add Co2 yet or not. I don't want to upgrade the lighting but I do want to change...

Ok everyone I have algea and I'm not ashamed to admit it right now. Does anyone know if once a plants leaves have a lot of algea covering Yes I am using compressed co2 and it is turned on/off w/ the lights. The lights are on for 9 hours at full strength on 12 total starting the...

This sounds like a better way to go with the BGA in my tank than using erythromycin - I only have small patches of it at the moment. I just did a small test patch and it's bubbling nicely. Weirdly, several of my cories seem to be trying to eat it :rolleyes: In my tank, quite a bit of the BGA is at...

You were exacly right that is the one I think I was looking for but it really isnt as informative as it used to be. I really do think that it is still one of the most beautifully put together sites but the content is just a little lacking, i loved that rollover part of the site before. I...

Hey, for your tank I wouldnt even bother with soil, if you can afford it all you will need is one bag of Seachem's Flourite... (it runs about 25 bux in LFS and about 15 with shipping online the last time I checked) Flourite is made for planted aquariums with a very small rock size for the plants,...

Ok, I'm new at this...last tank I had was 45 years ago. Now I think I've jumped the gun. I have a 29 gal. tank with 'natural' gravel and I planted several varieties straight into the gravel. I just have 3 small fish right now. The question is: Can I move the gravel aside and insert the Laterite...

Hi all, some time ago someone posted a web-address of a co. that sells surgical scissors on line. They had a complete line at very reasonable prices These scissors are the cat's meouw for planted tank maintenance.I had a pair for that purpose some years ago, but like the web address of said co....
