Floating plants can definitely help by shading the water and soaking up excess nutrients. I've had good luck with Duckweed in my 10 gallon, but it can get out of hand if you don't thin it regularly. What's your nitrate level like?


Duckweed is a beast, man. It's like the herpes of the aquarium ...

Floating plants are great for algae control, but they're not a magic fix. You still gotta keep up with maintenance. I've got Salvinia in my 40 gallon, and it helps, but I also dose Excel and keep my lighting on a timer.

I had a bicolor that was a bit of a LR nippy thing, and it'd also go after my coflake. 30 gallons just isn't gonna cut it for one dwarf angel, let alone two of them. If you wanna keep multiple dwarfs, you're looking at a massive tank - 150+ gallons, loaded with LR - to reduce fighting and give ...

hey, just got a singapore angel and i'm wondering if it'll thrive in my 30 gallon tank long-term? also, since the coflake beauty is already in there and they're both dwarf angelfish, will they eventually fight? right now they seem fine, no aggression or chasing, just cruising around and eating algae ...

I've got a 55 gallon reef tank that's been running for 6 months - that's about 250 liters for those who think in metric.

My tank's got a few inhabitants already:
- A juvenile blue spot (naso?) tang - don't worry, I'm upgrading to a bigger tank in March.
- 2 peppermint shrimp
- 1 arrow crab with ...

Got a few questions about your lighting setup. You've got T5 lighting with 2 actinic bulbs, but what's the total number of tubes you're running? How many of those are white ones? And are they each equipped with their own reflector?


ok so craftyx is my buddy we live in florida same state he's ...

Looks like it's missing a barb, probably got torn off by the net. I'd personally add some melafix to help with the healing process.
