  1. I sold my first plants today. My husband was so proud. I am just happy I can see part of my tank again!
  2. Thanks for the ideas and pictures! I cannot find driftwood at any of the stores around here and I am too big of a chicken to collect some from outside. I do have some fake wood in my tanks. I love the tripod idea. The danios would love playing in that. I also love the pots in the tanks. Would it hurt anything to break them if I put all the broken edges in the sand?
  3. So I just bought my first "large" aquarium. 125 gallon. I was hoping you all could show me how you have yours set up to give me ideas. It will be a planted community aquarium. The fish already in my 60 gallon are getting an upgrade. Also any pro tips of don't do xyz because of ABC. Thanks in advance!
  4. Hi all. I just started keeping fish in November. I have 4 tanks with fish (60g, 55g, 30g, and 20g) and 1 with just plants. Yes I have a problem! So here are my questions: 1. When doing research on fish, some profiles say they must be kept in clean water. Example is a balloon blue ram. What exactly does that mean? I try to keep all my fish in clean water. 0 ammonia and nitrites. Low nitrate. I change about 1/3 the water weekly. Fish are happy enough I cannot get them to quit breeding. My plants are very happy also. Does this sound like I am doing it right? Question 2 is about my LFS . Our petsmart is great. We also have an independent owned store that I would like to support. Great staff but they are only open 4 hours a week. Yes I said a week. I have iffy results with their fish. So I tested their water to see if it was different than mine. Same water source so it should be the same. The ph is 6 and the nitrate is 160 and the kh was close to nothing. So my question is would YOU buy fish from there or not? Sorry this is so long but you can only get so much information from YouTube and blogs. Thanks in advance!
