My Passion

I currently have 4 aquariums as of right now. I enjoy the planted hobby. I had several reef tanks over the years, but found my passion with planted tanks. The hobby started out with one tank then ended up having 8 setup at one time. Since then I have slowly let go of some. Keep on tanking my friends.

Lighting over a 29 gallon

Posted on June 3, 2013 at 10:12pm 3 Comments

I am redoing my dirted tank and applying new dirt and sand. I plan on having giant hairgrass, rotala india, crypts, and moss. Will a two bulb t5 HO light fixture be enough light for this tank?

 

 

Also, buying bulbs from zoo med the 65K and a rose bulb as well. Plus might upgrade the filter. Running two HOB aquon filters one 200GPH then a 100 GPH. I am running co2 and dosing first and the florish line.

 

If you have any other ideas please help if…

Water Flow and Current in my 55G

Posted on May 21, 2013 at 11:29pm 5 Comments

I am having some trouble to get my plants to sway. I have a canister 305 going on full blast and it does about half the tank. I attempted to add a powerhead that does 850GPH..Which is an overkill. I am having trouble getting flow to the other half of my 55.

 

 

Have any solutions?

 

I was possibly thinking about buying a powerhead that is rated for a nono tank maybe 425GPH, or even the Hagen mini filter for flow. If you have any suggestions please…

Substrate questions!

Posted on April 19, 2013 at 9:50pm 7 Comments

I plan on having a 55 gallon high tech tank. I am dirting it of course.

Several questions regarding substrate:

 

Sand?

-If so what kind is the best and will plants do okay?

 

Gravel?

-Done it want to try something new.

 

Which one would you say would do best with congo tetras, 2 silver zebra angelfish, and around 5 Corry Catfish.

 

Need some help if anyone can help..
