allow me to introduce you to the concept of a thermostat. :lol: any how.. PC did you get the answer you were looking for?
-
they are stones at the very best, not rocks, or boulders, or even meteors. :lol: i think the sand looks nice. if it were me, the only plant in there would have been glosso, but that's me.
-
jager 300W. cause nothing else is good enough :lol:
-
How big were yours when you got them from HFF. The ones I got from the same importer were only very young ones, no bigger than 4cm.
-
yours will be a bit young won't they? they will fan in preparation of eggs as well. but in the past fanning has only lead to a good outcome in my tanks.
-
honestly! a tiny wee dose, will fix it too. I have been reading lots ....

NO

dare I mention a tiny, tiny dose of hydrogen peroxide?

Why can't we just accept that a MH is not an option? :roll: PC- your normal aquarium tubes will be alite for some swords, even if the tank is 2ft deep, and will illuminate what is just beneath them in an "A" sort of shape. If the tank has lids you can even use normal desk halogen lamps with the wrong spectrum light to illuminate the rest of it. the halogens won't do the swords any good but the effect is pretty neat. like a spot light.

Hi Rod, the size limit on these boards is 640p. +1 to what supasi said as well.
-
Naah not really. they will need to root them selves in the gravel again, nut that's just normal growth... once the roots have developed your plants have more or less "established" as they can maximise the use of available nutrients. It also has to do with auxin-cytokynin ratios, but that's more technicality than is needed in this case.
-
Those plants are fully established! :-? even the subulata is on its way to growing at its potential. if those are how the plants are, you dont need to add ferts, but using normal flourish will show a marked improvement. just remove the carbon when you use ferts - if you use carbon that is.
-
I LOVE your selection of plants. IF only I could show as much restraint as you and stick to long thin plants :lol: The lighting is sufficient, but if you want the red plants to actually go red - like the rotundifolia i would recommend investing in powerglo tubes. if your macrandra is happy, then the lighting is sufficient. how old are the plants? - particularly the subulata and that looks like microfolia in the front....
-
That's pretty awesome. They would be good with my elec. blue rams :lol:

wow. that's pretty darn awesome! -
no more algae! let me know what I owe you as well. :lol:
-
hmm... its a bit odd that only the catfish were affected though. even the discus are normal and unaffected. oh well... steep learning curve. let it serve as a reminder... painful as it is

can you keep it till the end of the month? will it get on with my 2 small ones? and my gentle big euptera?
-
I am getting too old for this... Dragon Ball Z. I sued to watch it. like in 6th for after school. :oops: then again, i was addicted to yugioh too.... :lol:
-
what?
-
who's coming? :lol: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =276559639 I want. even though I can get them at a fraction of that price. I want. *drool
-
That's very cool! good on you. looks like the glosso is taking off. it will get there eventually. PS- tank needs filling up! :lol:
-
nice, but why dont you just use a frit diffuser? 2 cm in diameter as opposed to having a massive bottle in the tank? what is the noise level like with water sloshing into the tank? :-? or is it not sloshing?
