I didn't know there were different roots, lol's.

Cool. Would love to see pics. Do you have it on your build thread yet. There are so few freshwater folk lol's. but after a monster saltwater tank, am loving the ease of back to freshwater. A lot less work. I may switch out some house plans for others and try to add a trellis to the wall as I...

Way past time for an update. Life has been a bit crazy. Still dealing with my dad's estate, and I published 1 book in Nov (#41 or 42) and finished the 2nd in the series of 8. Tank is now 6 mo. I just cleared out duckweed (I tried so hard to buy only container-gel plants to avoid this) Obviously...

Not sure what they are eating lol's. Always on the glass. sometimes on the driftwood. What do your eat. They don't seem to eat regular food. These are the reticulated.

Tank is now 11 weeks. Been consumed with writing and marketing so not time to post! Tank is getting a bit overgrown. Did a 10-15 gal water change today and will trim and replant stems later this week.. I've decided to let the monte carlo overgrow the rock fence but will keep the path down the...

haha, I know. I've tipped a couple back down so far. Saltwater nerites do the same thing. Had found them on the floor! But they don't breed so that's my only snail type

Been a couple weeks since my last update. Tank is 7 weeks now and doing great. Nost of the time, no ammonia so either something died or more soil. Nitrate steady at 5. Got some new fish today. 5 hillstream loaches-Reticulated and 15 Celestial Pearl danio or galaxy rasboras. They are tiny but the...

Wow, very impressive!!

15 blue eye forktail rainbow fish and wow. Esp when they color up even more. Looks like I have a bunch of males if they are the super colored ones. I think I have an extra one too. I always put then in the tank by 5's and then I ck the empty bags. Found one stuck between the inner and outter...

I love silver dollars. Had them years ago

Wow, what a great fish! And huge!

5 weeks. Lots of carpeting and even areas that need to be trimmed. Am thinking of taking the trimmings and planting in a container- instead of replanting in tank as the trimmings will be so small-basically a dry start and then when they form a nice mat, planting them where needed. But I might...

Back from the funeral for my aunt. I had shut off the co2 and put 2 airstones in. Got a pump that plugs in and if power goes out, will run 8 hrs. Got home and it was off. The power strip it was plugged into, the switch's light doesn't work, so it was never charging.... Lucky all okay. Figured...

My hair algae is going away finally. The only place in the tank is on my mosses. Not sure if it's a combo of me pulling or attempting to do so, or the otos/shrimp/corys, or because my tank is maturing a bit. I've also stopped dosing liquid fertilizer. So I'll hold off another week. Shutting my...

Week 4. Tank still a bit murky--not crystal clear from the ends. Trying a water clarifier and will see how it is. Did a 5% water change. Need to get a new brute can and wheel base. Saltwater ruined the one I had. Did filter maintenance. I may opt to use media on the 4 bottom trays, then a...
