Re: Why are my amazon swords turning brown?
I don't think they make NO bulbs that fit my lamp, unfortunately. My lights are set for 8 hours now, so we'll see how that goes. I'm also getting a bigger batch of duckweed, hopefully it'll be enough to keep up with my barbs. Fingers crossed it'll reproduce fast enough. I'll keep updating on how ...

Re: Why are my amazon swords turning brown?
I really appreciate your help with this, it means a lot. The tank dimensions are 24" tall and 48" long. I went with the HO T5's since the tank is taller, I thought that would be a good idea. I've stopped dosing the iron and liquid carbon, I'll just wait and see what happens now.

Re: Why are my amazon swords turning brown?
I've got my light on for about 10 hours a day now, I had it a bit longer before but I decided to turn it down a notch. I double-checked my T5 bulbs and they're indeed 6700 and 10k. Also, I figured I should mention my substrate mix - it's roughly 60% Eco-complete fluorite and 40% gravel, all mixed ...

Re: Why are my amazon swords turning brown?
I'll try to post a picture when I get home, but my iPhone says the images are too big.
My fish load is 10 tiger barbs, 2 dwarf gouramis, 1 german blue ram, 1 butterfly Pleco, and a few snails.
I live in Nevada, and I know our water is very hard, so I'm not sure if I need an additional source of ...

Why are my amazon swords turning brown?
Hi all,
I'm pretty new to planted aquariums and I'm running into some issues. I've got a 60 gal tall tank with Zorchzon swords, jungle Val, and a few other plants. My jungle Val has never really taken off, and now my Zorchzon swords are starting to wrinkle and get a bit brown. I'm thinking I might ...

Re: Freeze-dried brine shrimp remain a popular choice
I've got a rotation going on with the fish foods, but if I'm being honest, they seem to have a soft spot for Hikari vibra bites - those ones are always a hit.

Re: Freeze-dried brine shrimp remain a popular choice
On the bright side, it could've been worse, right? No booze, no fags, no, well, you know... that's off the table too, huh?
