Good Point. I use Flourish liquid ferts. Sunday - 1.5mL Nitrogen, 5mL Trace, 2mL phosphorus, 3mL pottasium Monday - 2mL Iron, 2mL Comprehensive Wednesday - Same as sunday Thursday - Same as Monday I let...

Yes, I have a drop checker. Runs light yellow to green. As far as adding light... I've tried, more ferts, less ferts, more co2 and less co2, timed co2 and constant co2. Never tried more light. I thought it can't hurt. In a 29 gallon tank I have two aquaclear filters, a 30 and a 50. I also...

Not sure about the "deal" but I've been told one more tank and I have to move out of my house into an apartment... Hmm... Guess that could be a deal. First tank my wife and kids went along to get, 20 high. Second tank I got for free from work 29 gallon. Third tank I got free from a poker...

Okay, I have issues with my planted tank. Constant battles with BGA and BBA. I have CO2 at ~30ppm and I dose Ferts but my plants do not seem to grow. I just added more light and changed to a glass top. I also added lots more plants. I noticed ovet the last few days that my algae on my...

I use 1 daylight and one 50% daylight 50% Actinic. This way my acei really pop, but the tank is not overly blue. Best combo I've found. I use T12's though.

Not sure what a jbl 602 is but I have a twenty gallon tank that I run at 90 bubbles per minute. I use an co2 indicator and plant health to determine that rate. You probably need 20X the number of bubbles that you have now. Make sure you have plenty of flow in the tank. That is a lot of space...

I have a second hand tank with a few chip at the corners. It is a 29 galloon tank so it is pretty deep (chips are well below the water level). I haven't had any issues in over a year. Just my experience.

An aquaclear has a large rectangular filter sponge, a bag of bio media, and a bag of carbon. I only recently replaced a sponge in my aquaclear. It lasted over 2 years, probably could have gone longer but I replaced it anyway. My bio media bag has been in use for almost 2 1/2 years. Both just...

Go with the aquaclear. Just take it apart and clean it every 2-3 months. The emperor is loud and I find myself replacing the filters more often than the aqaclears that I use. Even better than both of these is a canister filter. That is a whole different story. Regardless I would use more...

Why are you dosing easylife carbo when you have pressuried CO2? no need. save your money.

I went again last night just to stare at the tank. (And buy some stuff from since the previous night the cash registers were broken and nobody could buy anything). I did not buy any tickets. You are right snowflake I need my garage for my car. Also my wife told me I was getting an apartment...

I was at my LFS last night and they are selling tickets to win a.... 700 gallon tank. It was on display. I don't know the exact dimenions but it was HUGE! $10 tickets and they will sell no more than 300. How Cool but then I thought what the heck would 99% of fish keepers do with such a big...

I think what some are saying is it seems a bit crazy to give up so quickly. Everyone is jealous of your massive tank and now you can't seem to care less about it. Bitter pill to swallow for those of us with "huge" 55 gallon tanks.

I vote for the previous owner trying to either stop a leak or be double sure that the tank would not leak. I've never seen silicone on the outside of the tank. Seems kinda odd to me. I can't tell be the photos... there is silicone on the inside of the tank right?

Just got done with a 7 day Melafix treatment in my high tech tank. No affect on the plants. Java Fern, Crypts, radican swords, wisteria, spirallis.
