    Got a free 5 gal from my girlfriend's mom, and I'd been thinking about starting another shrimp tank for about a year now. I used to keep CRS around 8 years ago and after looking into neocaridinas I've decided I wanted a Blue Jelly tank. I tried making a moss wall once, I ended up getting...

    I am about to completely redo one of my 33 long tanks. It currently has a Fluval plant 3.0 light and a Fluval 307 canister filter. Since the filter outputs a decent flow that will rule out surface dwelling fish that require very little flow. It currently has aragonite sand, which I will be...

    Hi, I planted some dwarf sag in my tank about 6/7 weeks ago, it’s all melted back as expected but doesn’t seem to be regrowing at all. I pulled one out to check what was going on with the roots and they do seem to be growing, plants look awful though. Covered in algae and look pretty dead...

    This tank has been in storage for awhile after I took down my first concerted effort at a dynamic scape. I salvaged the structure I built for it and used it in my 10 gallon tank about 2 years ago. It had been slated for use as a quarantine tank, but I haven't had much to quarantine in the last 2...

    4-10-23 It's my first time getting back into the hobby in many years so I decided to go with something around 10 gallons to start with. I found an interesting curved corner glass aquarium on Amazon and decided to order it. I had a Kritter Keeper cycling with grow lights, two mini sponge...

    Hey all, this is my first post on the forum. I'm looking for advice on lighting. Currently I have a 24 x 24 x 24 60 gallon cube with a glass top. For substrate I have small gravel mixed with Fluval bio stratum mixed in on top. I was wanting to do java ferns and anubias through the top middle and...

    I'm making my first aquarium with a friend and want to make an Iwagumi style tank, but we want to keep it low budget and simple. So we are just making a little 3 gallon tank with no filter. I was looking into dry planting dwarf hair grass to help the carpet spread before flooding it, but I'm...

    Introduction and cost breakdown Hello! Finally, after more than six months since setting up my first aquarium, I’m ready to share my notes on it. First of all, I was aiming for a simple aquarium – that is, not too costly, low tech, low maintenance. First things first, let’s talk about complexity...

    I have lived in the same basement suite for 7 years and we are now in a position to rent the entire house. We will be moving into the upstairs suite and increasing our living space by about 500 square feet. Which of course means I can finally upgrade from 3 nano tanks to a more substantial one...

    I've been recently having outbreaks of black algae and green spot algae in my 75g planted tank and would greatly appreciate any feedback/advice for treatment. My tank is lightly stocked (a few danios/tetras and a rainbow shark) and I perform 25% water changes weekly. This is my first tank and...

    I’m really excited to set up my first shrimp tank! The goal for this project is to be minimal cost - to appease the wife who took some convincing - and low maintenance. I’ve never kept shrimp before but am looking forward to learning! I have a 220L low tech tank full of Java fern, anubius...

  16. General Planted Tank Discussion
    This was my tank at 4 months old: Here it is 7 months later, at 11 months of age: I have not changed a single thing except for removing the salvinia & AR mini. Maybe less water changes from laziness, but that's about it. Last time I added root tabs was about 3-4 months ago. As you can see...

    So, i'm planting my 5 gallon, and i wanna have it densely planted. It's a newly empty established tank. It has the flourite black as substrate. It would have no Co2, but i'll use root tabs and liquid ferts. For light, I'm open to suggestions. I wanna stay in the under 25 price range, and i'm...
