I just set up a CO2 system using a Dupla regulator. The pressure reading is bar pressure, not PSI and when I first hooked it up it was at 40 bar. It has been climbing slowly since I hooked it up yesterday and is now a little less than 50. The gauge says the optimal pressure should be between 60...

I am trying to grow Eleocharis Acicularis(sp) Dwarf Hair Grass after an initial failed attempt. I am using 4 T5-54watts over a 55 gallon tank that is much brighter than before. And am using K-N-P & FE at recommended dosage levels. My question is does this species do better with root feeding...

I am growing plants with some success when I try. I have recently redone a 55 gallon aquarium with riccia, eleocharis, and glossostigmata. I have 20 ppm of co2 on continuous control and 4 X 54W T% daylight bulbs running 11 hrs/day. I use fluoite laterite clay only as the substrate and insert a few...

Anyone know this plant? Tried to findout about this plant, but nothing came up on Google. It is sopposed to be a "Brown leaf" sword plant that only gets 3-4" tall. Sounds like it would be a great foreground plant, just can't get and info on it. Here's the link if you want to see a picutre of...

Hi, I have a 48"X18"X12" heavily planted tank. At present I am running a 150watt MH light with two single 30watt fluros. The MH is apparently 5500K and the two fluros are 6000k each. What I would like to know is if I go to a higher rated Kelvin for the MH will it affect the plants too greatly? And...

I went to lfs today and got several plants. They come with like 4 or 5 actual plants to a bunch with a lead strip bent around the bottum to hold them down. What i want to do is separate them into groups of 2 . so i get more coverage.How can i separate them and hold them together and also keep them...

Hello, Where can I find the way to calculate the quantity of sand I need? The "beach" sand takes how much volume? And how sand weight? For example, it says on a bag 7Kg. How much bags I need to buy?

Suddenly, something is destroying, one-by-one, my long Echinodorus leaves. They're being reduced to skeletal leaves at night. I have Ancistrus, Otocinclus and Upside Down Catfish. Which do you think is the guilty party? Is it a coincidence that my tank PO4 level is now a lowish 0.1 ppm? Are they...

Hi All, Just wanted to inform that there are new entries for the 30 gallon planted tank which I've just updated on my website. http://www.plantica.com/30g.htm Enjoy, Amit

I'm looking for a hood that I can put on top of a 10x20 inch glass lid. Hopefully, it would be bright enough to grow plants in a (deep) 20 gallon freshwater tank. After a couple of weeks of looking, all I've been able to find so far are 10W chunks of plastic at Engulf & Devour Pets, or when...

I just started keeping fish after about a 10 year hiatus. The 20 gallon tank, fish and plant are all about a week and a half old and have began cycling well. The fish are showing no ill effects. PH is 8.0 (perfect for the 2 cichlids I have in it) Ammonia is coming down (currently at approx 2.0...

I've just setup a new aquarium (29 gl, flourite and a few plants, 55W CF). My water tests look a little wierd: the carbonate hardness is 0, while total hardness is 120 with pH 6.8 or 7 (I can't decide which color fits better). So, I assume, that the only hardness I have is non-carbonate. 1. Does...

Hello, I visited local pet shops and could not find quartz substrate. Where could I buy it?

I think my Hydrocotyle appears to be showing a nutrient deficiency. Can anyone give a guess? http://www.ncasali.demon.co.uk/HYDROCOTYLE.JPG I've been dosing potassium daily for a few weeks. I haven't noticed any improvement in plant growth. Last night, I thought I'd dose a week's worth of K and...

I'm setting up a 100g planted FW tank and I'm looking at lighting options. It will be C02 injected and I will need about 400w of light. I've seen fixtures with 4 96w PC and an assortment of metal halide fixtures and a mixture of both. Questions a fixture/balast cost, bulb cost, bulb life, light...

I got a Rena Filstar XP1 for xmas for my 29 gallon planted tank. I would like to inject my DIY CO2 into the filter so the impeller breaks up the bubbles. is there any way i can rig this filter to do this? I used to have a small powerhead that i bubbled into and it worked really well. Any...
