Hey, sorry to bother you.. I was wondering if you knew any good websites to read about nitrates and plants. Most of the ones I've been coming across are more about getting rid of nitrates... and I'd like to read more about.. the opposite of getting rid of them xD Or more how nitrates develop with plants, or getting a good balance of nitrates with plants, or anything else involving them together.. Thanks ^.^;

Thanks XD I'm still waiting for pics of your plants!

It is not necessary... But definitely prefered by your plants. Also, peacock fern is not aquatic, it will die and rot. Anything in petsmart that is listed semi aquatic have to be at least...

So just a question Redchigh. So since you have had a problem with Potting mixes that means everyone is going to have a problem with it?? Instead of saying,"Don't" wouldn't it have been better to...

This morning I found that some of the wigglers were nearly swimmers but when any strayed from the plant leaf, a parent would scoop them up and redeposit some of them back on the leaf. It looked like...

your questions illustrate why this method of determining lighting requirements is inexact at best and almost completely useless at worst, and this is without even getting into the different types of...

Update To Byron especially and everyone else who chimed in to assist me with my huge algae issue that was driving me insane. First to Byron, you are the man! Following your instructions to...

In the absence of a male occasionally two females will spawn. Once in a while you'll get a threesome, angels like to swing that way. If there is minimal white eggs, and they are that light tan...

I wouldn't worry about ceramic...but make sure that there isn't any charcoal in the tank. Also don't expect to see a huge change for at least 5-7 days.

i think you got most of them right. hermigraphis exotica and dwarf rush are probably not true aquatic plants... which will explain why Money Mitch's one died off.... he called it the tempes plant~ I...

Everyone on here knows I do not recommend soil substrates. The reason being that I have so far not found any substantive benefit, to compensate for "likely" problems. So although I have no direct...

I'm not so sure about this. I have swords in several tanks, and in the ones with better lighting, they're doing great - my nitrate levels are typically very low - 7.5ppm at the most, but most of my...

The Aquaripure denitrate filter is a canister filled with 4 different densities of sponge material from coarse to very fine. Water flows through the filter at a very slow rate. Initially aerobic...

Understood, but he is reducing the light. And, it is often suggested in such cases to go "down" and slowly work back up.

A 30 is much too small for angelfish, even if they are the only fish. Angels can get to be 8-12 inches high and 6 inches long, and a shoal of 5 (which they MUST have, unless they are a proven mated...
