    Finnex planted plus 24/7

    Hi Roediger! Saw your post late but we just installed a 30 inch (76 cm) planted+ 24-7 on our 20 gallon long. We are running low tech and that light is reported to produce 75 PAR at the tank bottom ( 30 cm) so with substrate, a bit stronger. We placed a double layer of black window screening...

    Finnex planted + wiring question

    Good day! This post is a couple weeks old, however.............. that light is 110 Volts AC and the plug orientation does not matter. We just bought the 30 inch version of the Planted + 24-7 for our 20 gallon long. That fixture on maximum produces 75 PAR straight under the light at 12...

    Finnex planted + wiring question

    Good Day! A bit of an older thread but........ The voltage on that light is 110 V AC and the plug orientation does not matter. We just grabbed a 30 inch Planted + 24-7 for our 20 gallon long. We really want to enjoy the 24 hour cycle but fearing the 75 PAR at the substrate just might be a tad...

    What on earth is this fly doing in here

    We lost quite a few fish before we discovered one of those evil critters in our 20 gallon tall.

    Plastic plants are starting to look real good :-(

    The tank has been up and running for 1 year, 16 days as of this date. Except for the moss, the plants have died and been replaced over time with these two Java Fern being about 2 months old. They started to grow and I thought they were looking good and then this happens.

    Hi Luke! I am using the Seachem line for frets; Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium, Iron, Flourish Comprehensive and Excel. The dosage is as per the bottle instruction with macro's every 3 days, comprehensive every three days (but not the same day as the macro's), excel daily and the iron once per...

    How is the dry start going? Have you decided on a moss yet? Tracy and I are fans of "Christmas Moss", (probably because it is one of the few things that we have had success with. We had wanted "Taiwan Moss" but could not locate any of it). Your photography is stunning and we would certainly...

    Newbie ideas...

    You have a gorgeous looking tank! I like the idea of it being drilled.......it just looks cleaner to my eye. My opinion is based on "no experience" but I would consider modifying the intake with a 90 degree elbow and moving it over towards the rear left corner, running along the tank bottom...

    Thanks again everyone........ just checking in quickly before I head out to participate in that total illogical human activity called work. To remineralize my change water I was using "Salty Shrimp - Shrimp mineral GH/KH Plus" but since the shrimp have died I have revereted to using a well water...

    Hi Craigmac104! I like it!! Nice find on the tank and stand. Did you do anything to prepare the rocks for the tank? The driftwood looks great! We are following and looking forward to seeing you stock it.

    Hi all! And, thank you for the responce as well as the info and links. I will try and answer the above asked questions as well as get some photos up. The 20 Long (75.6 litres) has been set up now for 13 months. Water change is once per week at 30% of the estimated actual water volume. A TDS...

    Maybe we didn't put enough plants in from the start? Looked like we had planted more than would reasonably grow, but maybe not?

    Hi Hoggie! (Is your handle from the famous American sandwich?) Seachem Flourite Brown is in our 20 Long and that is our "death tank". We do not have a soil substrate beneath the flourite. Is soil more essential than water column fertilizing? We are fighting parameters between plants and...

    Hi KipperSarnie............. that's it! The secret ingredient that has been alluding me! So many beautiful, vibrant, healthy looking tanks and my success has been only with Christmas Moss......... so far. A few sprigs of Java Fern appear to be doing okay, holding their own. Dwarf...

    Plants being eaten by mites?

    Mites??? That is GREAT!!!! The one thing I miss from our reef days is the incredible variety of life that we would discover. Freshwater does not have the variety that saltwater does. One item we had contemplated back then but never did purchase was a good microscope. I think your discovery...

    Hi Kye88! I am so much a newb and can not offer any knowledgeable comments......... but I like your tank....... especially the intake and return setup. Did you drill it? Does it connect to a canister filter? My thoughts are racing away with the potential that setup offers!

    Hi Raptorendame! Your scape is beautiful! Our next build will be a shrimp tank. We have read about shrimp being sensitive to environment changes, are your shrimp showing any type of reaction to the fertilizer dosing? Do you dose straight into the tank or dilute it with top up/change water...

    Nice job on the base and getting things level! Been reading up on your tank and hardware.......... Wow!!!......... high end!!!.......we are getting so impatient to see what you do next. When I saw the stainless steel in your earlier photos my first impression was that it was a UV sterilizer of...

    I need to look your equipment up and learn more about the various pieces. The Kessel pendent adds a nice clean look to the tank. Is that a light controller with it? Halogen, halide or LED? What temperature light are you planning on?

    Gorgeous equipment! There are brands there that I have never heard of or seen before. All of the functions and features on your filter are quite intriguing! I like hiding as many devices from view as possible and the canister incorporating the heater is great! Are you able to clean just the...
