j_vincent, you've inspired me. I want to do some photos like this too. Going to look into now. Thanks, man! thumbs2:

Wow, I'm amazed at your patience. I don't think I could let a 120G tank just sit around.. I'd want to set it up and stock it ASAP!! Hehe... you're doing the right thing though. When I first got my...

I have a feeling the problem might be due to the low pH. What's your tap water's pH?

Once you go black, you never go back. Best background color in my opinion.

Yeah, I think if you're not doing intense light, then a moss carpet will be your best option. I would just try it. You can start out with a small patch and see if it works for you.

75G tank and I dose enough for 100G 5 days a week. On water change days (once a week) I add the recommended dose on the bottle for large water changes. I recently flipped the moss ball over and...

Does substrate type really have that big of an effect on water sprite though? It's my understanding that water sprite has a very weak root system and gets most of its nutrients from the water. I...

My corys have been in the spawning mood lately as well. I watched a cory lay some eggs the other day, but my angelfish gobbed them up quickly. Can't fault him though. He helps keep the population...

May I suggest a few things? (too bad if you say no, because I'm suggesting anyway! :ssuprised: )

* Ditch the Aqueon 10. Get something bigger to compliment the 20, like an Aqua Clear 70. It's...

Alright, now I understand why you want the tan colored sand. I think it'll be hard to keep the sand from drifting onto other areas of the tank though. In my tank, there's a small area sectioned off...

About 3 months so far. I'm going to keep adding Excel and see what happens to the moss ball after 5 months. I'm looking forward to this experiment. It's surprising because you'd think the moss...

Here's what I'm doing today:

P90X YogaX (am)
yard work (afternoon)
P90X Legs and Back, AbRipperX (pm)

I'm going to sleep well tonight. I want to start a book today, but I know that's...

Are you sure about this? I overdose Excel almost daily and have used a "plant-safe" aglaecide once without any ill effects on my moss ball.

John, how old are you, man? I wish my parents would have let me do something like this when I was in school.

So you are thinking of adding either tan or red sand? I'm confused. It looks like...

lol. So true. Other fish whiz by him, but he thinks he's safe there. Good thing I don't have any predators in there. Easy prey!

You'll also have to measure the length. Once you have that, there are numerous web sites that can calculate how many gallons your aquarium is for you.

Here's one:...

One of my corys has found a nice resting spot between the leaves of a Pogostemon erectus plant. He's able to suspend himself between the thin leaves for long periods of time, only occasionally...

I have an AC70 on my 10G quarantine tank with a large ornament right at the filter's output to help divert the flow. And like others have said, it helps to fill up the tank far enough so that the...

Good for you, Labby. That's quite the accomplishment. :19:

I'm waiting on some SAEs that are coming via USPS Priority. Pretty anxious about that as it's my first time ordering fish online, and the delivery person never rings the doorbell (just drops the...

Breaking Bad - can't wait for next season, my favorite show since The Sopranos
The Borgias - shows promise, enjoying it so far
Mad Men - currently re-watching the first season to get caught up...

Sounds pretty cool. I might get it for my iPad.

I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Would you mind posting a pic or two?

Thanks for the input, guys. Yeah, I have the lights set up that way to deter algae although I wonder if DrNic is on to something. I'm also getting a fair share of diatoms on rocks, gravel, and the...

This is my first time with aquarium plants. I have 2.88W/G T5 lighting for a 75G tank, lights are on for 9hrs a day (current schedule is 5 on, 5 off, 4 on, 10 off), I dose Excel daily, Flourish Comp...
