yeah, i posted the wrong pic of the vallisneria thrown away xD You cant really see it in the pic but its all brown in the water and when you pull at the leaves, it snaps off easily which i think means that its dead. I dont really have any types of fertilizer except the Plant Gro thing that came...

Update ;) well, i have bad news and good news xD. Bad news is i had to take out a little bit more than one third of the vallisneria. I replanted it and this time, i used one stem at a time (last time i planted it in 3 stems per group) The problem is the lighting; It doesnt go out that far...

do you have any pics of the tank? how about making like a beach theme, or a natural one xD

I might be getting another filter for the tank instead. an xp3 ^^ i cant really explain right now since i have to go to sleep but i think this will be alright. I mean, even though the flow is less (i think its 187 with all the media) compared with an aquaclear20 and 30, it has a bigger...

maybe you sell those goldfish starters to be used as betta, and put a sign there that says that the tank is not suitable for goldfish or something. or you can set them all up in your shop and use them as fry tanks :> I wish i could go there lol, i have a lfs near me thats pretty neat but...

american flag fish?

yeah, i wanted one but the problem is the cost. The doubles are like 100+ and i only have 80 something dollars left to spend and that goes to the expensive fish. I do have more money but i dont want to spend it all because getting the new turtle tank and doing this has already cost me about...

thanks. what i also like is the natural cave the wood makes, you can see it on the second to last picture underneath the javafern. Heres a close up but not perfect shot xD and i cant take the picture but after going in , you can turn left and there is about a 3-4 inche square piece inside...

i dont bite ._. anyways, here are some pictures. Ill add some captions to some^^ this is what the old 20 gallon looked like with my turtle. this is the new tank: So then i took the old tank out to wrap it in newspaper heres the spray paint i used tank in place the sand i used...

maybe one oscar, and a few silver dollars? ;) thats what i would do if my turtle wasnt living in my 75 gallon.

Hi, im gonna use my old 20 gallon long tank and make it planted! woohoo :D a little about me, im 13 years old and have been keeping fish for about a year. I have a 5 gallon with one betta 5 neons, and one oto. (I'm trying to rehome the neons because my friend gave me them as a "gift" not...

thats pretty cool, what do you plan to keep on it. Seems like its gonna hold a big tank o.o

oh, of course im gonna cycle the tank, i dont even have it set up yet as a matter of fact xD i plan to do this in the future after i finish my 20 gallon planted.

yeah, i was just wondering about the guppies because my cuz has a lot in his tank and he wanted to get rid of a few so... FOOD xD but nah i might just stick with only two dps and 3 otos so that each dp can have one half of the tank lol. and the filter is marineland's emporer ;) now i just have...

Hi, i have a 10 gallon tank just lying around and it thought i would try some oddballs ;) *especially puffers* i will probably have a biowheel filter that has about 150-200 gph if that matters. I was thinking, is there any other kind of puffer than i can keep in there other than dwarf puffers...

hm thats wierd, when i click on the stocklist and the weekly special, all it has is a link that says "Stock link ending June 2005" :(

well, the fishing stock i have in mind are mostly amazonian type fish like tetras, corydoras, maybe rams, and bristlenose plecos sorry for my late reply xD

oh ok. I will do that tomorrow. this is what i plan to do: take a 5 gallon bucket fill it about 1/5 way with sand. use well water to just let it flow in there wait and let the water overflow by itself *and hopefully the sand will not go out* pour the clean sand in a bucket rinse and repeat^^

oh sorry xD i live in orlando florida, USA, if state matters too. thanks for the link shock shock. oh yeah, just to clear up, im looking more for fish than for supplies but i do know dr foster and smith sells fish too xD

hm, wouldnt the sand get blown around and just fall out though? also, i have a well (my dad and i built it) so i think we have enough water :P but i think well water is rather hard with many metals in it, do you think that will effect the sand in anyway? Edit: also, does the product "Cycle"...

Does anyone have an recomendations of online fishstores? like stores that you have bought stuff from and approve of its ways (shipping etc) thanks

yeah xD i love how water wisteria looks but i hear it grows like a weed. Ugh though, the sand isnt clearing at all. Imma try to run a filter through it. Do you think carbon would help xD

thanks for the reply ^^ well i think i will be able to modify it since i dont know how xD the plants i want are water wisteria, spiral vallisneria, scarlet temple, tiger lotus, and maybe java moss. I dont really remember the scientific names right now and i dont have time to look it up...

Hi, i am going to make a planted 20 gallon long tank with an amazonian biotope. i went to petsmart today and i bought a perfecto-hood and a nutrafin c02 canister. My question is about the lighting. The tube bulb that came with the hood is only 20 watts but i want to have 2 watts per gallon...

beautiful :good: stunning tail :o how big is his tank? any tank shots? ._.

you can do a red cherry shrimp tank. :good:

what kind of sand is that? regular play sand?

wow, thanks so much. That really pretty much explained it all for me o.o

i heard purigen is kinda like carbon except its better(somehow, forgot why xD) and you can renew it with bleach

Hi, i was seaching around on the internet and i found a few sites that said that after a while, drop test kits (that test ammonia, nitrite etc) become inaccurate. I have the API drop test kits for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph. How long does it take before these test bottles to become...

hm, ok ill go with play sand. About getting a substrate to go under the sand, i thought about that, but wouldnt it not work? Like eventually, the sand since it is smaller grains will seep its way down and the two subtrates will mix. And i have never seen tetraplan complete xD thanks

hi, im totally new to planted tanks but i plan to make my 20 gallon long into one. I have a problem with substrate though: which kind should i use. I really want eco-complete but thats to expensive for me right now so i have two choices or subtrate. Here is a picture of one of them, i found...

i would recommend glass cages o.o for example, one of their tanks is a 135 gallon tank measurements:72x18x24 inches (6 feet) and its only $270. The cool thing about it is that they deliver frequently to many cities so you can just pick it up where you live or somewhere close to you if they send...

in your first tank, i see two red tailed black sharks o.O any territory issues? i would take them out imo

hm, then maybe what i just said is the opposite? o.O

edit :oops double post :3 sorry *blames internet*

is the ladders new? i read on some website about that c02 system that it takes a few days for a slime coat or something like that to form on the glass so that the c02 can slide smoothly.

no offense taken xD yeah, my chain stores here are really dirty compared to your store. They also dont have a lot of diversity of fish let alone quality. But there is a pretty clean lfs near my house although its mostly saltwater D: i found a new fish store though, but my dad wont take me...

wow, that lfs seems nice. Big and clean :good: i like the big pleco with the pacus xD and that last turtle, thats a mata mata right? those look so cool

how much do you weigh? 29-30 gallons would be about 300 pounds? (overeestmating xD) you can try like going on top of it, and jumping. To be on the safe side, you can always add braces so that it doenst lean over and collapse.
