Re: Montipora encrusting vs plating, which is better?
Plating's dope if you got the room. My 120's packed with 'em, and the layers create sick caves for my gobies. Just keep your alk stable.

Re: Why are my amazon swords turning brown?
They started dying before I even started using the liquid carbon.

Just got my GH and KH test kit results. My GH is around 300-350 and my KH is 8 dKH.

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?
