  1. One note about RGB: I wouldn't be surprised if some or all of the LEDs in a Fluval light are actually RGB LED trios, tuned to a specific output. I posted in another thread about color models that addresses how we actually produce and perceive colors.
  2. I love my Fluval lights. I can get the color balance and schedule that I want, and I don’t use any at full power in any of my tanks. They use Bluetooth, not Wi-Fi.
  3. Thanks to this thread, I realized that I have been misidentifying my bladder snails. I went back and corrected a number of older posts. I love bladder snails!
  4. I fell in love with tide pools on Rexhame Beach in Marshfield, Massachusetts. I was amazed at how much life was in each pool next to the rocks. You could follow the tide and find all sorts of cool stuff!
  5. I love growing out plants, or keeping wet house plants! You can enjoy them with minimal stress.
  6. I love bladder snails. They are productive members of my aquariums, and they always seem to be in balance with the plants and fish.
  7. Is the rhizome buried at all, or is it all above the gravel?
  8. I jam Anubias into crevices of wood to hold it. The plants will often send roots down.
  9. Here is the list of all your threads, after I merged another dozen plus: https://forum.aquariumcoop.com/profile/4361-stephen-zawacki/content/?type=forums_topic Save that link so you can come back to it if necessary.
  10. @Stephen Zawacki, I have merged your two lighting threads from just this week. Please stop making duplicate threads. This is your last warning.
  11. Thank you, @Beardedbillygoat1975. My tanks are pretty simple and very low-effort. I do have nice local water. That pico tank is one of a few that I run without fish. Anyone could do the same. If you love plants like I do, it is just as sweet.
  12. You do not need to rinse topsoil. You want all the goodness! Does your potting soil have any additional elements like pearlite (which floats)? You could choose to sift out wood scraps, but shrimp and bottom-feeders love them.
  13. A similar thing happened to me with marine canister filters. Enjoy the live food, and a new layer of your aquatic ecosystem.
  14. Thank you @Atitagain! Without scrolling back in the the thread, please guess the size of that aquarium! 😎
  15. @OnlyGenusCaps, the Co-Op plant bags are actually fine filters, with decent flow. Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
  16. I feel really at-home here. I get to talk about my organic topsoil tanks without anyone telling me that I am doing it wrong. We have a very helpful and positive community. Nerms love to learn and share!
  17. I can’t wait to see how it all grows out!
  18. @OnlyGenusCaps, you could consider increasing your lighting to grow more algae.
