Greetings! Wanted to share my experiences and journey of growing freshwater sponge reefs or colonies (whatever you want to call it) Since there seems to be literately nothing about keeping them in general. Also I think they are just neat, and rather proud of them!. Our story starts over a decade...

Growing pond lotus from seeds I bought on amazon, so far 5 of 5 have germinated. What's the best dirt I can use for them that is commercially available at home depot? I found a few varieties available but the basic organic mix was too large and all the smaller bags were plant specific organic...

I'm helping out an elementary school that has "nature courtyard" that includes a 800-1000 gallon fully contained pond. They keep an eastern painted turtle and a school of feeder goldfish in the summer. There is also normally a spring explosion of tadpoles and then frogs which then make their...

I'm in the Seattle area, and looking ahead to a potential rescape of my 22 gallon long. I have a 20 gallon planted patio pond outside that I would like to use as a holding tank while I take apart the tank, work on hardscape, plant, and re-cycle the tank. Average highs in Seattle in July and...

Hi there, I've been doing some research on this forum but haven't really found what I wanted. I'm rescaping my tank (ADA 90p) and this time I'm going for a big slope on the right with a big piece of driftwood that's gonna be partly poking out of the water. I would like to put plants on that part...

Hi all! Starting a journal on our new 150G planted livestock container I setup for wintering our goldfish and turtle. A little backstory, this summer we moved into a new house that came with a little pond and stream water feature. This worked out really nice as our turtle was starting to...

I am wanting to make a mini pond in an extra tank I have. Anyone know of any good low tech plants for something like this? What about animals for it? Anyone have any pictures of their mini ponds?

Hi! I have started a new planted tank that I am going to try and keep plankton (daphnia, copepods, hydra, etc...) in, in a long-term effort to provide live food for some fish. I have already put a lot of thought and effort into keeping these critters alive, by providing ample separated hiding...

The 1 cup measuring cup is just there to help with size referencing. The planter is 15" high and holds approximately...

So I've got my hands on a 6ft x 3ft x 3ft aquarium. I'm thinking of a garden project as the size has restricted indoor use. I was thinking of putting some small goldfish and koi (I work for an aquatic retailers with a pond holding 300+ koi so I can shift them when size is too big). What my...

Was curious if anyone else is doing anything like this. I built a 250g-ish container pond out of cinder blocks, ended up halving two ibc totes and placing them around it. 30g barrel filter in the center, 18w UV, 1350gph pump, and pressurized co2. It's still a work in progress. I managed to...
