  1. Not exactly today, however, I did step through an ammonia spike over the last week and a half. I watched through Cory's video: I then went through the water changes and cut back feeding: Freshwater Planted Aquarium Project: Multi-Water Change 29 Gallon Tour MYFPAPROJECT.BLOGSPOT.COM All about my journey in owning freshwater aquariums. Freshwater Planted Aquarium Project: 29 Gallon Ammonia Spike - Double Water Change (11/8) - No Feeding - Day 1 MYFPAPROJECT.BLOGSPOT.COM The current water parameter test for ammonia shows a reduction of about 38%. Essentially, a change from 8 ppm to about 3 ppm. Prev...

Cory's video was exactly what was needed to understand what to do and how I... I'm now exclusively feeding Repashy foods in both my 20 and 29 gallon tanks. This is helping my 29-gallon to look like this: Freshwater Planted Aquarium Project: 29 Gallon Tour MYFPAPROJECT.BLOGSPOT.COM All about my journey in owning freshwater aquariums.
  2. I'm looking to get advice on the following scenario: I have a heavily planted 20 gallon that my own dim-wittery allowed to be completed infested with bladder snails. The tank currently has 14 Neon tetras, 3 Amano's, a plethora of cherry shrimp, 3 Otto's and a couple of Ghost Shrimp. I have a 29 gallon that's cycled (with very close parameters), new planted (relatively speaking, still have some growing to do) that I want to transition the 20 gallon livestock around to. Do i get a rubber maid tote (medium-ish sized, filled as needed with conditioned water) and remove the plants from the 20 gallon to then remove the water to a low point to catch out the live stock? If so, what is the best methodology for a container to transition (I realize catching out the tetras and Otto's will be not a great time)? Do I "re-catch" of that container to place into the 29 gallon? Appreciate any info.
  3. I put in an order for the following: I'm going to look at adding these to the basic hood that came with the 29 gallon tank I just set up. The basic white led strip chain that came with it had reviews that the light was ineffective for plant growth. I figure that if I can experiment with placement, dimming, and timing of these full spectrum LED's then I might be more successful in growing in more plants (than just moss I've currently started it out with). I also ordered 4 more Assassin Snails for my 20 gallon to help the initial 2 I have to deal with the current bladder snail infestation (I have no problem with snails but I obviously do not have the means to control their rate of population growth).
  4. Greetings from Stanfield, Oregon. I have been in the hobby for almost 5 months. I have a 20 gallon with 16 Neon's, 6 Amano's, a plethora of cherry shrimp, about 6 Ghost Shrimp, and an completely out of control population o/f bladder snails (I'm getting Assassin snails from an online retailer in an attempt to get the snail population under control). I've recently acquired a 29 gallon (shown below) that I just set up this Saturday (8/1) and have transitioned the Nerite's over from the 20 gallon.
