Hey guys. You probably get this question a lot, but I have a planted tank I want to run Co2 in, but all the options online are confusing me a bit. To my knowledge, you need a Co2 canister, diffuser, tubing, tests, and the regulator. Should I buy those Co2 kits I see online that come with...

Good to know thank you!

Actually I think I might go do a blackwater tank with some floating plants and valessenaria. What's the difference between regular and the jungle version of the plant?

I think these blackwater aquariums I've been seeing online look awesome and I have some fish from those areas that I would want to put in my 40 but I have a couple questions. My uncle said the tannins will make algae grow like crazy in my tank so I was wondering if that is true and what are some...

S Repens looks really good to put in some areas by the wood but idk if I want it to carpet everywhere but I doubt ittl grow quick without Co2. I'm also maybe thinking of doing Amazon Swords in the back left hand side

That looks pretty cool I might get some of that. I might also put a couple pieces of Java Fern on that clump of wood in the front

I'm not sure if I still have some test straps ill find out tomorrow. But if it's too hard then I can use the RO system I have for my saltwater tank

Thank you! Will be using aquasoil

Just created what I think will be my hardscape for my 2nd (and hopefully good) planted tank. Was wondering if you guys think it looks good and I also wanted to know what are some good, beginner friendly plants I should use. It's a 40 gallon breeder btw

Hey guys! Going to set up a planted tank sometime in the future. I think I have some decent hardscape but I'm looking for someone to point me in the right direction on what plants I should use or what light I should use. Ideally I'd like to grow medium, maybe high light level plants. I'm going...

Looks like they're still not eating. I'll wait another day hopefully nothing bad will happen

Thank you for replying. I've only been in the hobby for around 4 months so I'm can't really identify any poop anywhere. I'm using a whiteish sand mixed in with a lot of crushed coral, so I'm not sure if what I'm looking at is coral, sand, or poop. I'm preparing frozen food right now to feed...

I got three multifasciatus shell dwellers for my 20 gallon long yesterday but when I fed them that day they weren't eating. I fed them this cichlid delight frozen food that contains spirulina, daphnia, and turkey heart. When I put it in the tank they would put it in their mouths and then spit it...

I asked a question a couple nights ago on the planted chit chat part of the site about my plants and everyone was very helpful so I wanted to check with everyone about my stocking list for it. I already have three mystery snails in there, and plan to get three scarlet badis, and eleven ember...

Thought I'd give an update on the situation. I got some small rocks I had from a while ago that I got from someone and decided to put them to good use. I attached the fern to three of the rocks and it looks amazing. I also went and planted everything else in the tank, and got more plants (it's...

Thank you. At first I was confused where the rhizomes were but I think I found them. I plan on buying glue tommorow plus a little piece of driftwood and gluing them. Am I gluing the rhizome part to the wood or the stem right above it?

All good man scared me a bit though 😂 I'm not at home at the moment, but when I am, you guys will have to show me what you mean. There's this kind of base circle root kind of thing on the bottom. I've gotten a Java before and tried to get it on driftwood but it was a disaster. Is it possible...

Interesting. Thank you all for the help. I called a friend who is also into fish and he said it was normal too. The ferns are all in pots. Should I plant them in the substrate instead?

Here is a pic of the leaves I took out.

Ok thank you! The only problem is I have three mystery snails in there too. Any chance I can save them? My first thought would be to move it to my 20 gallon but I have three yoyo loaches in there and I heard they kill them. Also do you have a link to where to buy it?

I see. They are also on a couple of the other java ferns. What should I do? And how many snails will be in the tank when it's hatched?

I already did a fishless cycle. Can't see if they protrude but it feels like they do. Feels bumpy.

Hey guys. Wanted to ask a few questions about my new planted tank. It's a ten gallon tank with a water sprite, amazon sword, baby tears, and three java ferns. I got the first two a couple days ago and the java and tears today. I got them both off Aquarium Coop. My first question was what are...

Interesting stuff. Thank you for the reply. Off topic but when my tank is cycled, do you think I could get away with adding a couple mystery snails at the same time as the Badis? Or would that be too much in one go?

Hey guys! Kind of new to the hobby. I already have a 20 gallon all stocked up and my neighbor gave me his 10 gallon for free a week back. I'm in the process of making it a heavily planted tank and first putting a Scarlett Badis into it. I don't think the fish stores by me have that fish in stock...
