As others have said RCS babies are extremely tiny. Give them a week or two and I bet you'll starting noticing them. Mine are growing quickly.

Ooooh, I love this idea. I have a 55 gallon full of tetras that should go absolutely bonkers over some live mosquito larvae. Now, to get a brine shrimp net.

Sounds good. Water changes it is then. I didn't think there would be any fish that would work, but thought I would check with this wonderful community anyway. Thanks everyone for your help.

They look like seed shrimp to me. At first I thought it was just small specks of a black substrate material, but the higher res pic showed that it's definitely not that. Looks like some sort of...

If you do get the Zoomed 501 at a local store, check to be sure it includes a spray bar. I've found several that come with just a tube without any holes instead of a spray bar. I have two of them...

I've been very interested in these lights since I heard about them, but at over $500 for the 48"-60" model, it just doesn't make sense financially. If I could get a 25% off coupon, I'd definitely...

I think there's two reasons why you don't want to mix macros and micros in water.

1. The EI method of dosing calls for macros and micros to be dosed on alternating days, not at the same time. And...

One item of note is that the Lobelia cardinalis is not a true aquatic plant. I know it's often sold in the big box stores as an aquatic, but it isn't. See link below for more information.

Not sure what kind of rocks they are, but I bet they're fine. I would advise against boiling them, too. You run the risk of them exploding on you and it's really not necessary. Just scrub them...

Throw the notion of watts per gallon out the door. LEDs can put out the same amount of light using much less power than the old style of lights (T8s I think). And HO and metal halides put out a lot...

I think they are Laetacara dorsigera, the Red-breasted Acara. Being mouthbrooders, I figured they had to be Central or South American. Sure enough, they're found in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. ...
