Usually you do want to remove the pots and the wool that the plants are rooted in. And then just plant them right into the substrate. As for the snails - well if you didn't clean the plants in diluted bleach or something like that chances are good you'll end up with snails at some point or at least...

I'm acquiring a CF light fixture from someone that currently has reef bulbs; 2 10000Ks and 2 actinic, with 2 extra 10000Ks. I know the actinics aren't useful for plant growth, but what about the 10000Ks? I won't be able to get 6500K or 6700K bulbs for a while, but I've read in a couple places that...

I'm hoping someone has some Rotala Indica they wouldn't mind shipping. I don't want to buy enough to justify shipping charges from a retailer, just enough to establish some. I would love to paypal the shipping charges, plus a little extra for the trouble. Yes, Chuck Gadd. I saw that you had...

When I recently refilled my CO2 tank, my check valve didn't check and I think I may have ended up with a little water in the regulator, but I don't know for sure...the needle valve may have stopped most of it. I have noticed though, that it's not regulating very well. Is this the symptom of water...

I was wondering if anyone had any luck growing Eustralis Stellata. On tropica it is listed as very hard to grow, I was wondering about everyones experiences with it...I was thinking of ordering some, as it is a very beautiful looking plant. Ryan

I am thinking of buying Hagen's CO2 system which, in £s, is inexpensive : £15 approx. I see that there are kits costing £100-150 with more complex valve systems. What is the disadvantage of the lest pricey Hagen kit, if any. Thanks in advance

I am interested in knowing what plants are going to be happy in these conditions. Preferably I would like plants that do not...

The inevitable has happened to my Hygrophila Carombosa as it changed from its marginal state to its submerged state. All the larger leaves have died off and I'm left with a few puny stalks with small leaves being produced that eventually break off. Some the stalks disintegrate and lie just...
