If your room temperature is too cool, the yeast won't work, either. Some people put the bottle with the yeast mixture in a bucket and add a heater to the bucket to keep it warm.

I have never had any luck stopping a leak by a partial repair. The only thing that has worked for me, is completely stripping out the old silicone and resealing. Since this tank was made recently,...

My pfs aged to a more beige colour and not as bright white. I do use a narrow gravel vac and turn it over when I clean the tank, and it is still a more mellow colour now than when it was new.

I find that ramshorns don't overbreed unless you overfeed. Then you can get a lot of snails, but they are easy to get rid of by adding a piece of lettuce or other vegetable to the tank. They will...

Are you using water from a water softener in the tank now?

I am on well water, too, that has a fairly high gh and kh, and don't have a problem using it in my planted tanks.

This is what I did to combat my problems with algae. These are just my suggestions, and others may disagree, but here goes:
I would do a 50% wc and remove as much of the algae as I could manually. ...

If the tops of the vals are close to, or on the surface, I find that they will turn brownish in colour. I think it is just a reaction to being close to the lights.

I think you should be OK. I am running a 38 gallon tank (36" long) with one 36" T5HO, no CO2, and things are growing quite well. It will be a bit of experimentation to see what plants will grow...

Yes, that will be fine. You can always reduce the intensity of the light by raising the fixture above the tank, or by put a layer of window screening between the tank and the light.

One way to more accurately measure is to use a syringe that you can get at the drugstore or from a vet's office.

I currently dose Excel with my shrimp and haven't had any problem.
