[Seeding new sponge filter]

If you put a new sponge filter into an established tank,how long would you let it seed before using it to start a new tank?

[Dosing easy green at night]

Do plants absorb nutrients at night? Sometimes when I get off work late, my lights have already gone out and I'm not sure if I should dose easy green at night or wait another day when the lights are on.

[Fluval vs build my own]

The fish will appreciate the 20 long more than they would the flora(more room to explore).

[Anyone with outdoor tub experience?]

Watching one of Cory's old livestreams about outside tubs and he mentioned solar powered air pumps. This really appeals to me because I don't want to run a power cord outside. Has anyone had a good experience with these? What kind do you have? Or did you come up with a different solution. Thinking about getting a 60 gallon tub with white clouds and keeping it outside year round.

[Help attaching anubias]

Well, looks like I need some super glue. I had this same question. Thank you all for the good advice.

[Growing lucky bamboo]

@dasaltemelosguy what kind of grow lights are you using? Also have you grown any other kinds of plants out of your aquariums?

[Confirming Aphids?]

Hirsute Algae!🤣

[What anubias is this?]

Based on the size, I think it's Nana also.

[Crack in tank part 2]

Well, not sure what type of filtration you are running, but is it possible to drain your tank to just below the crack and apply more sealant just to be extra cautious?

[Crack in tank part 2]

Oh no! What size is it?

[Are these Ramshorn Snails?]

Yep, they are ramshorn and the one in the top pic is often called a leopard due to the cool spots on it.

[Egg on top of salvinia?]

Oh man! I got excited too. Oh well, it happens. Are you using xtreme krill flake? How do you like it?

[Favorite plant from ACO]

It would also be tough for me to narrow down, but I also really enjoy the tiger lotus.

[A Different Kind of “Water Change”?]

I think this is a good experiment. What type of fish are you keeping?

[Corydoras catfish food]

I second the Extreme bottom dweller wafer.seems to be my corydoras favorite.

[Acoop co2 regulator!!!]

Thanks JoeQ, I'm glad you mentioned the exchange process.

[Acoop co2 regulator!!!]

I've never ran co2. Where do you all get the cylinders from?

[Favorite thing to get from Coop]

Just for fun, let's say you could have any one thing from coops website for free, what would you get based on your needs?

[Favorite plant from ACO]

If you could have an unlimited amount of any 1 plant from the coop, what would you pick? and why?

[Hello from Bothell, WA!]

Dang your "small" tank looks huge! That means you scaped it well. Both tanks look good. You will have to let us know if you ever get that puffer.

[I hadn't planned on starting a tank.]

Great story and cool setup. I can't go back to fake plants either.

[This is my 10 gallon Jungle of a shrimp and snail tank, I should trim it at some point,... maybe.]

I like the overgrown look. I'm sure your shrimp like it too.

Is the tree-like plant pogostemon octopus?

[The reclamation and resuscitation of the snail habitats]

I love these designs. Simple and neat!

[Are my MTS covered in nerite eggs?]

Lol, I think you guessed it!

[Moneywort]

You could use sand, but dirt might mess up your water parameters. I also saw someone on YouTube tie a rock to the bottom with sewing thread.
