Where is that blue light coming from???

A really cheesy Marineland LED light bar bubbler thing that Santa bought him. I don't recommend them, the light looks lame & the LED's themselves are practically impossible to hide.

Shhh

I mean ahhhh spell check.

You could try some peat balls to being it down. Much easier on the tank as it works slowly and gently.

I knwo I am not in that convo, but where could I find pear balls? I have look in all of my lfs's and no one has them. The pH is my SA is 8.4! I would like to bring it down but I do not want to use chemicals.

Pear balls ... LOL! Sorry. I think you can actually make them, by using a mesh bag and peat moss that you get at the garden center. Am I right, o knowledgeable ones out there?

Oh wow, I did type pear balls I honestly meant peat. I will look into that. I know that my fish aren't in danger being in a pH that high. The pH has always been stable. I would like them to thrive though

What about marimo moss balls? I've heard that they can bring your Ph down as well?

Is that an Albino BN hanging off the side ? He looks huge!

Plenty of live plants! Try some java fern, anubias, crypts and hygrophila. They're all pretty hardy and should do well in a low tech setup. Adding CO2 and ferts would really help them flourish, though. An amazon sword would look pretty neat in there too, though they do grow pretty large if given the chance. Anubias and java fern need attatching to things, eg wood.

More root-type wood would look great in there

Isnt a BN but still a pleco you like?

 

[Dieses Madchen]

Very nice Big boy! What kind of plec is it?
