Hi all,
I may be getting a chance to help create a large planted tank for a public Aquarium that I work for. This display will be based on the Rio Negro habitat. Rather than an exact biotope, our plan is to feature aquatic flora and fauna that are found throughout the overall region.
I have a...
I have 20x low tech tanks with various LED full spectrum lighting and various stocking and plants. All tropical temps.
The only continuum is the water and fertilizer. I'm having plant death and issues with them every time I fertilize.
The pic is a single example. It's black algae growing on...
Hello,

Hi,
I've recently bought these giant otocinclus which I absolutely love/loved until I saw the serious damage they were causing to loads of my plant species :(. I have never known or experienced otos doing this before. Anyone else had any issues with them or have I just got an unfortunate one off.

Hi all!
I collected some plants near In rivers of upstate New York near Binghamton. Found some unique species of Ludwigia maybe someone could identify the variety. Under high light it grows creme/orange leaves and blood red veins. Grows as fast as Ludwigia repens and similar shape. The emersed...

Hey! I bought some new plants and I don't know what they are. Do you know what this plant is?
It's not pothos, of course. Though the leaf colors might make you think it is. I can't find any aquatic nor land plant that looks like this! Can you help me? Thank you!
I’d Like to first start off by simply saying that this was just an experiment that I decided to test out. I have only been in the hobby for about 1 year and 7 months: Take this info as you wish. I am not claiming this to be a solution of any sort, there are people that have been around a lot...
Hello everyone,
I am currently working on the installation of Dutch aquariums or in a first step "only" on the planning of such a tank. I bought some (few) books on the subject, but what really impressed (and intimidated) me is the article by Pikez in this forum.
The topic is quite complex and...
I set up a 9 gallon fluval flex about 2 months ago using uns controsoil and cosmetic sand. I have Ludwigia acruta as the stem plant, the inclinata just melted on me. I also have crypt parva, anubius nana petite and java fern. The left and right sides are looking empty now since the inclinata...
Hey all, I am new to this forum and I am from the DFW area. I have been the aquarium hobby for about 5 years now and started a planted tank about 2 years ago now. I have always had some issues with my plants. For some reason they are merely coasting along. They are not thriving like alot of...
I was a keeper of fishes in the early '70s (even talked my parents into opening an LFS ) but faded out quickly from the scene once I obtained a driver's license and a motorcycle and other passions took hold.
But I've always had a passion for plants, and having reached virtual retirement...
Which plant this is? I didn't have any success with it previously, Now I am running DIY co2, low to medium light for 6 hour(algae issues) and using root tabs + Seachcem flourish + DIY Potassium + DIY iron. Hopefully, it grows well.

Hi everyone! I just set up a new 5 gallon blackwater tank :) I'm going to let it cycle (to the extent that a tank whose PH is going to be in the 4's or 5's will cycle) for a month before I add a light or any plants...which brings me to my question; what can I do to improve plant growth in a...
I am a young man in New England who has had various aquariums over the years, from my current hard water, 400 ppm TDS Aphanius mento tank to a 20-10 ppm TDS (the TDS dropped over the course of the week), blackwater in the 4's licorice gourami tank. Almost all of those tanks have had...
