I bought about ten of these last summer for my tank. They were small and beautiful. Now they are large and beautiful. And I have no idea what they are. I have spent hours on the internet looking, But so far I have not found anything. They seem like tetras of some kind, But the fins are slightly...

Would excel dip be good. I have ripped up most of the carpet plants and my bladderwort. I put it in a bowl of water, and wondering if I should venture into bleach, peroxide, or excel 20:1? In my spare time...

I need help. After my move, I have not had time to hang my lights. So instead they were propped atop the tank blowing too much light into the tank. Work has kept me busy and I figured I would deal when I had free time. Now I am free, but the tank has been taken over by thread algae. Crap! I...

Good evening I just moved and now my fish live on the 1st floor. I have a water but on the ground floor. The tank is roughly 13 meters from the but. I bought 15 meters of hose. Basically I want to fill my tank with collected rain water and need a pump that I can hook up to transfer the...

Hard to say. But I might say it is the solenoid, Although it does click when I turn the power on and off... The co2 comes out, but not strong, like the valve is clogged maybe. Guess I could take it apart tonight and fiddle with it. It's Thursday. Would like any helpful hints to rule out...

Good evening. Curious if anyone has a spare solenoid regulator, Or knows how to fix a broken one. I have two now that have died. I would not mind buying something good. And when I say good, I mean something that will last. Cheers R Sent

7 months later. Sorry for the delay. Full on work load for he last four months. Neglected the tank, but it has done well. I had planted Cuba and initially it grew well. I feared too much light in the tank because of black hair algae. Raised the lights for a month, and got rid of algae but...

Over the winter I broke down my eheim 2217 system and split the livestock and plants into two smaller tanks. one very small HOB and another with a sponge filter. over the 5 months til now, I have had great success with HC Cuba, Riccia and Java moss. now that the sun is out, I have started up the...

Yes, I'm doing it daily, then I plan on stitching them together, to get a better feel for growth. And I will add other plants soon, and animate the planting as well. This is the 29th. Added a spot light in the end, and messed with the grade. Also did a water change first off. Since the tank is...

Realised yesterday, that I could easily set up a time lapse in the shed where the tank is, because the computer is also there. Set up the camera to tether to the computer, and it is easy to document without a card. Curious to see different growth rates and if anything goes south, it would be...

Water cleared and here are some images of the tank... I would like to add these... Pogostemon erectus Eleocharis sp Alternanthera reineckii . Roseafolia Rotala macrandra Ludwigia repens 'Rubin' Monosolenium tenerum Hopefully it will look like this... Sent
