    Which goes to show that much of what we hobbyist do is really not needed.

    Some really good reading at that website.

    I don't have a garden but I sometimes use it to water my potted plants.

    I would go with the 48.

    I would take the stones out. Not sure why, but it's about the only thing left.

    The tank looks great. I love a planted tank.

    Looks like rocks to me.

    Not sure on the exact time. If it were me, I would put in now and just let it run till you are ready for it this winter.

    I just purchased some API test strips the other day. I already had the API liquid test kit. I wanted to see just how close they were to each other. Same thing as the OP. Sort of close but not really. I will stick with the liquid and use it as a baseline.

    I'm down here just south of Macon in WR. About the only local stores other than the big chains is Noah's Ark in Macon. I would imagine there would be some good places in Atlanta. Not sure though.

    I really don't know what to say other than thanks for the laugh. I hope you get it figured out.
  14. Scott P.
    I figured as much.

    No telling how many are actually in that lake now. Sad

    I subscribe to a lot of youtube channels. I am a member of none of them.

    If I put bagged crushed coral in the filter, how long does it last on average?
  18. Scott P.
    Tap water shows 0 on ammonia and 0 nitrites, maybe a trace of nitrate, hard to tell. I like the idea though.

    I like the way your think. I was already leaning towards the coral, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't trading one small problem for another.

    I didn't think about shrimp getting their minerals through their diet. Makes a lot of sense. The shrimp are not mandatory but I would like to try them if I can get it right. I'm not getting in a rush to add anything other than plants. The tank has been running for about a week. So far I have half of the tank planted. Probably going to order plants for the other side this weekend. I don't plan on fish for at least a few more weeks or more.

    I have city water from an underground aquafer. I would like to keep a couple of Bolivian Rams and some shrimp along with some other community fish.

    I have been setting up my first tank in about 10-12 years. I have a question or three about water hardness. These are the numbers in question. PH=7.4 not very concerned about that. GH= 3 or 3 drops with ATI test. KH= 3or 3 drops on same ATI test. I would consider this fairly soft. My main concern is the buffering ability of KH. That and a lot of fish/shrimp say they need harder water. I have 2 questions. 1. should I try to raise the hardness of my water? I have read that crushed coral can raise it nice and slow. I like slow. 2. if I do raise it, how do I go about keeping it from crashing when I do water changes? Thanks in advance for any advice, and yes I tried the search function. I am terrible at searching.

    Black paper or paint on mine. I'm cheap.
  24. Scott P.
    Looks like my stand. They will hold a lot of weight.

    At one time years ago I had some weeds take root in the back of my pickup truck. If there is dirt and moisture plants of some sort will find it.
