  1. thats a java fern, and those things on the leaf are baby plants. let them get a bit bigger then they can be picked off and planted elsewhere. in the future, dont bury the rhizome on java ferns. you can stick the roots in the gravel, or glue them to some of the hardscape.
  2. for fish, ill float them for 15-30 minutes for temp acclimation, then dump them in the tank.
  3. that is quite often the case. the harder you try, the more difficult it seems it is. some days, less is more.
  4. i tend to think too much light all together, but 100% kill the blue light.
  5. guppies are like a box of chocolates. you never know whats gonna pop out.
  6. once you start seeing color on them, it wont really change much.
  7. i agree on not using it as an aquarium. one thing about glass, once it cracks, the crack will keep spreading over time.
  8. the little plastic pot they come in, you dont have to remove that. in a lot of cases the plants will thrive a little better out of the pot, but you for sure dont have to.
  9. that sucks, but rest assured they can and will pull the im sleeping so hard i look dead thing.
  10. it could be a combination of food, and light, waste etc.
  11. more than likely, its just brown algae. i get it on some tanks. when scrubbing glass i just gently slide my algae scrubber down into it. it usually comes off fairly easy.
  12. every once in a while you will find a cory sleeping, and beyond a doubt swear it is dead.
  13. thats some serious hair algae. for sure cut out the blue light.
  14. if using plastic, make sure it overhangs the wood. if it overhangs by a little bit, water wont wick under it.
  15. i think the legs on that stand would probably cut right through any of those felt or rubber type pads once weight is on it.
  16. it is a good idea to seal the wood. quick easy fix would be to lay a piece of plastic down over it, then your cloth to hide it with the tank on top.
  17. the one with water and fish in it!😎
  18. welcome to the forum, from the better side of the river!
