[Best light?]

My new hygger light seems real nice for the price. Plants doing fantastic under it

[Floating plants]

I love my red Root floaters

[Coils in Deans tanks??]

In the newest video I noticed several metal coils in some of Deans tanks. Does anyone know what’s the purpose I them??

[Who’s from West Virginia?]

What part? I’m in Fayetteville 

[Purigen bags?]

What micron bags would you recommend for purigen in my AquaClears? The last 2 batches I’ve got has leaked TONS of the white beds all over my beautiful black substrate even after throughly prerinsing 3-4 times. Thanks NERMs!

 

Snail Assassin photo just for kicks. 

[Are 3D printers useful in this hobby?]

I’ve bought some really cool printed moss ledges

[Plant Help I’m struggling]

What @Cory said! A few flagfish would make quick work of all that

[Driftwood collection]

It’ll be going in the garden or possibly the living room if the wifey will allow. I’d love to mount tons of orchids, bromeliads and mosses to it

[Driftwood collection]

This one is coming back with me next time. 

[Driftwood collection]

Come visit some time. My backyard is the newest National Park. 

[Rugs in front of racks?]

One in the corner of the kitchen, 2 in the living room, smaller one in our bedroom, biggest one in my sons room and another small one in my daughters room. All are on hardwood except the one in our room which is carpet for now

[Rugs in front of racks?]

Can anyone recommend a good waterproof rug I can put in front of my racks? The wifey is getting onto me about a little water on the floor. 

[Driftwood collection]

New River Gorge, WV. 
 

ive never understood places with laws against driftwood collection. I can see not wanting plants and such collected but driftwood is a bit ridiculous. Come down my way. I’m not exaggerating, there’s about 5 acres that’s totally covered with driftwood at this spot. It floods several times a year and I holds all the driftwood and trash

[Driftwood collection]

I’m so fortunate to have and abundance of driftwood right in my backyard. The view isn’t too bad either. 

[Hardscape suggestions??]

What substrate? I’d personally have to put a bunch of epiphytes and moss to it but I’m digging that wood

[Amanos eating plants]

@GuppysnailI think you’re on to something. I have an angelfish grow out tank in my youngest sons room. He’s had Paw Patrol figurines in it for a while now and a couple months after I added a dozen amanos the paint started slowly disappearing. I thought it was just age but now I’m thinking it could be the amanos. 

[Puffer Appreciation Thread]

I’m totally obsessed with freshwater puffers as well. I’m on a mission to get as many as I possibly can. 

[Amanos eating plants]

I have loads of amanos and never had this issue. Are you sure it’s them and not a deficiency? Are you offering them any food now that the algae is under control?

[Rookie made a HUGE rookie mistake!!]

I have over 100 corys currently and all have eco complete substrate. Zero issues. Extremely happy and healthy as well as breeding nicely. I’m pretty sure @Cory showed in a Peru video what the substrate looked like when wild catching Corydoras and it was very rocky, not sandy. Good luck with your Cory Cats. I’m sure you’ll love them. How could you not??

[Pea puffers eating Repashy??]

Sorry for the delay. My family threw me a surprise belated birthday party today. I got the gentleman’s phone number and spoke with him earlier. He says he can get about 50% of his pea puffers to take to the Repashy. His method is he uses Grub Pie, when mixing it he adds Vita Chem and some Garlic guard, lets it set up then puts its through a garlic press. I think it’s worth giving it a shot. All mine are eating live foods, frozen blood worms and a few are starting to take Vibra Bites but I’d love to be able to offer a little more variety. I already have everything needed so I’ll try it for sure and keep y’all posted. If you decide to try it I’d love to hear your results!!

[Pea puffers eating Repashy??]

I accept this mission. I plan to arrive around 12:00 EST and I’ll report back ASAP 

[Live food for guppies.]

My guppies LOVE BBS, daphnia and mosquito larvae. I haven’t tried much else though. 

[Help please Alternanthera Reineckii Rosanervig Red Tissue Culture]

I bought the same from probably the same vendor. I just rinsed off the gel, separated them and planted them in a 10 gal with eco complete under a cheap AquaNeat light. They’ve done amazingly well except for a little K deficiency but I tweaked my ferts regimen and they’re back to looking great. I’ve had really good results with all my TC plants except one batch of Dwarf hairgrass from a petco but it was starting to look a little rough when I got the cup. 

[Acclimating pea puffers]

I’d recommend quarantine and bulking them up a bit before introducing them to your adults

[Staghorn Algae advice]

Flagfish cleared mine up quickly.
