Ok so after watching dustin's videos for a long time, I want to start my own dirted tank. I have the MircleGro organic potting mix and the gravel i want to cap with, and a bunch of plants. So i have some time before I want to set it up becuase the tank has fish and water running in it currently. I hear about somthing about mineralizing the dirt and stuff, so can anyone explain on that? Dustin also says that duckweed helps absorb the extra nutrients, will hornort work too? b/c i have a ton…

What's up guys and gals,

So the other day I found myself talking to my fish, again.  Does anyone ever talk to their fish?  I think my most common is, "Good morning, fishies".  Thought this would be pretty funny to see what people say.  Also, what kinds of personalities have you noticed with your fish and how did they get that way?  (i.e.…

Happy buying

ps if you buy one do a review…

I have a 20 gallon planet tank that has been running for about 8 weeks. It is not a dirted tank. I have water wisteria, an Amazon sword(there another by the right corner but i don't know its name), Mexican oak leaf,rolta india, ludwigia narrow leaf, green cabomba, anubias nana, blyxa japonica and another species i dont know what it is (i used to had rotala macrandra but it all died off). This is my first planted fish tank and now it is not doing well. I had tons of oak leaf in my tank but…

I was wandering if anyone has had a tank that they just leave alone because everything is perfect and balanced. I set up my first tropical aquarium 7 months ago and basically have been improving everything since. I have a 5 gallon which is great because I only have to trim it and stuff but my other tank is 15 gallons (this is the one i got 7 months ago) and set it up with no experience so when I set up my 5 gallon a few months later I got it what I thought was just right. Over the past two…

R.I.P. NEIL ARMSTRONG  :(

  Can anyone tell me how to lower the  PH in my tank, without useing peat or  making my water brown?   I am trying to breed some Scarlet Badis (Dario Dario),in a planted tank. I have an R O systems in my house(I live in Florida with well water, so you don't drink the water).The water is good for the first few hours but then it goes up, mine to about 8.0 or higher. I have tried the tablets and the drops - no change- I don't want to put to much in and kill the fish, so I'm looking for HELP. …

hey hey everybody, 

just thought that maybe if i create a whole new blog post it could catch the webmaster (or whatevers) attention and hopefully get rid of some of these cool bots talking about belts and brand-new hardness.....my fish dont wear belts and i only like them hard when their spawning, so we dont really need the random huge group of words that are your posts. 

thanks ya'll. 

seth...
