    I noticed that a java fern in my tank was really getting full and shading out everything around it.But I was really amazed when I pulled it out! I thinned it quite bit, removed older leaves and a few brown ones and put it back. I put my hand in the shot for perspective. The tray is standard cafeteria tray I use to work on.

    The relief valve is on the bottom side of the round disk the gauges are attached to. You’ll see a slot for a screw driver or a coin. 1/2 turn counter clock wise should do it. Maybe a little more if needed. Same thing happened to mine. The Aquarium Co-op customer service is the BEST!

    It’s new growth. Mine do the same thing but as the leaf matures the color evens out.

    I am really enjoying this aquarium! Been through the progression- Diatoms, green algae etc... Now at 6 months things are settling in well. Even though I've never met them in person, only through YouTube, I have to say that my mentors Cory and Bentley have been wonderful. Thank you Gentlemen!

    This is a high tech tank. I am using CO2. 40 gallon Breeder. 5 months old.

    I thought the same thing. I got it from Aquarium Co-Op so I assume it was labeled correctly.

    I have Pygmy Chain Swords growing rather profusely. They are taller than I had hoped they would be. Can I trim them down to a better height, or would that destroy them?

    I love Hydrocotyl Triparta Japan as well. It is fresh and vibrant. However, It grows like a weed in my tank. I have to keep trimming it or it would take over!

    It must be Spring! My Anubias is blooming. There is a second scape coming up behind this one. Not spectacular but looks pretty and interesting.

    I agree. I planted it in my 40g and thought it was really nice for about two weeks. I finally removed it completely!

    It may be the middle of Winter but I just noticed that my Red Root Floaters are in full bloom. Tiniest little things!

    Thank you everyone for your responses. There seems to ba a consensus. So later this week I'm going to the LFS to get a few more Sterbais and some Amano Shrimp!

    Good, practical advice. You gave me something to measure which makes it easier for me! I love it. Almost silent, easy to use. Volume of water flow can be easily controlled. The spray bar is really nice. Moves a lot of water evenly throughout aquarium without high current.

    Will Amano Shrimp be safe with the Apistograma Panduros? I use a Fluval 307 with a spray bar so, yes there is plenty of filtration. thank you for your advice!

    Hello everyone! My 40 gallon breeder has been set up for about 4 months now and looks pretty good. I think I have the algae under control and all the tests are fine. I use the API Master Test Kit. I do DIY CO2. Currently I have in there:10 Harlequin Rasboras8 Neon Tetras4 Sterbai Cats2 Apistograma PandurosMy questions are these: Can I add more fish? And if so any suggestions?Thank you.

    I have a pair of Apistograma Panduro. I've had them about 2 months, I don't know how old the were when I bought them but quite young I expect since they were so small. They are in a 40 gallon breeder with a school of Harlequin Rasboras and a school of Neon Tetras. There are also some Cories. How old ae they when they start to breed? I see regular interaction between them, mostly posing. The colors are getting stronger.

    I had aquariums as a kid but now, nearing retirement, I'm making a bit more of an effort. I learn so much reading these forums. I hope to contribute as well at some point.
