  1. General Planted Tank Discussion
    Hello, First off, thank you having me. If this isn't the best place for this, let me know where is and I'll move it. I'm in the process of making lists for what I'd like to do in a future tank build. I'd like to post my current parts/stocking list here to get some feedback on the tech and...

    Hello, I have been away from the hobby for awhile but with my wife and I purchasing our first home recently, I am looking to setup another tank. Previously I had a 29 gallon low/med tech, budget setup. For this tank, I am looking to do something a little nicer and visually appealing as it will...

    My 36 gal bow has for the past seven years held my displaced shubunkin from my pond. He died unexpectedly and I have been making moves to redo the bow. It will be a Walsted heavily planted community tank of a main group of "show fish" and a group of schooling fish. My main requirement is that...

    My ADA 60-F (60x30x25) is coming soon and I'd like some input. I think my envisioned options are modest enough for a 45 liter tank. The back third of the tank will be planted and divided from the rest of the tank with some rockwork and the rest will be very small (0,5 mm) rounded gravel. For...

I have 1 firemouth, 8 tiger barbs (1.5-3") and 5 Australian rainbowfish along with 1 weather loach (had three but 2 died day after purchase and can't find more) anyways tank looks empty...

    I have a 55 gallon planted tank that currently holds 1 juvenile firemouth (4" or so) and 10 mid size tiger barbs. I know they will all grow a bit more, but I still think the tank look pretty empty, as they all stick together and towards the bottom. Question is, what else could I add? I like the...

    I'll try to keep it short. I have just upgraded to a 55 gallon tank. Sadly after a nasty ich outbreak im down to only 1 tiger barb. I couldn't put him down so kept him around for a month until upgrading and he's been doing fine. I am just looking for opinions on stocking. I'm wanting to get him...

    I have a 12" cube (7.5G) opening up shortly and I was thinking of doing a native biotope with: 3 Least Killifish 6 Eastern Glass Shrimp 2 Ramshorn Snails I'm wondering if the tank will get out of control once these guys start reproducing. What do you think?

    Hi everyone, I know this a common topic to find info about, but I just wanted to double check my future stocking in my new fish tank I'm setting up. The size of the tank is a bit odd: 26 x 19 x 12 inch. It's around 25g. (if calculated correct from cm and liters) It's a custom made tank to fit...

    Hello PTers, I have long been part of this forum, but I don't believe I've ever actually posted in here. So forgive me if I am posting in the incorrect area. With all of your suggestions, and long time reviewing, and a bit of trial and error (ok lots of errors), I have successfully been able...

    Hey there! Right now I’m working on my first ever planted tank! : ) My tank is an Aqua One AR850 which is 165 litres (43.58 gallons) and currently I’m just working on hardscaping. Once I add water + plants I plan to leave it that way for two months or more so I can cycle it, adjust the...

    Hey guys! Have a 60 gallon tank I started working on with my dad about three weeks ago. I've been slowly filling it up with hardscape and plants; seems to be coming in nicely. I was able to jump-start the bb with my 10gal tank and it was cycled within a week and a half. I have a shipment coming...

I currently have Java Fern, Crypt Parva, Crypt Wendtii, Crypt Lutea, one anubia, two aponogeton bulbs, and finally, DHG that I am hoping will carpet once I install CO2 in the next couple of weeks. In terms of fish...
