I use to use nilocg for low tech plants once a week but I have stopped. I do use nilocg thrive caps for my amazon swords though. I find it very hard to vacuum with sand substrate so I just change the water; 40% weekly

6 month old 29 gallon sanded tank with amazon sword, anubias nana, java fern, hydrophilia (forgot species), Ludwigia ovalis and jungle val. Has been on an 8 hour low tech light regimen but have tried to cut it down with some days without turning it on. I have 3 otos. What algae do I have an how...

Should be on the back of the bag

With a fishless cycle you need to provide an ammonia source. Ie. bottled ammonia, fish food, or a raw shrimp. Please research on how to do a fishless cycle.

Is the rhyzome super glued or wrapped around (using fishing line etc.) something? I never had any luck super gluing anubias-- they would rot and disintegrate. I bought new anubias nanas and I tied them onto rock and driftwood and they are producing new leaves now.

Was there anything different that you've done recently? What temperature is the water? Are you conditioning the water?

What you're seeing is probably diatom algae. Generally, algae is not bad for a aquarium, it is just unsightly. How long has it been since you've started the tank? Reason: algae appears in a cycled tank because of the imbalance between nutrients in the water and lighting Is your tank planted...

General rule of thumb for proper filtration would be 5x the size of your fish tank. In your case, 5 x 30g = 150gph. I don't own a fluval aquaclear but I think the general consensus is that they are the best. They are highly customize-able and won't break the bank. The sponges can be used for a...

Hey guys I have a healthy looking make GBR that is particular fond of my intake sponge. I’ve had him for about 2 months and recently I would say about 80% of the time he stares at it like he’s praying at it or very curious about it. Every so often he takes a peck at it. Any fish that swims near...

I bought these amazon swords on amazon. I was wondering why the leaves are growing so narrow? What species is it? They’ve been growing submersed for 2-3 months and most of the rounded emersed leaves have melted back. I fertilize with nilocg low tech liquid fertilizer and seachem root tabs with a...

Please see attachment. 0/0/10-20. Peaceful tank mates. What does it look like it has?

That is quite alright. I take it as constructive criticism. How can I tell that the GBR is not thriving? What are the signs and symptoms?

Thanks, can you go into more detail? Spider wood to replace the mountain of rock in the middle? Floating plants?

A little back story. I had only the GBR in the tank for 2 weeks. Then I added the 7 panda corys and 2 mystery snails, then yesterday I added the TB's. At the present moment, the GBR is the aggressor and is exhibiting behaviors that it is his tank. I will closely monitor the issue but hopefully...

Hey fishlore, I’m looking for advice and/or suggestions to fill out the top half of my tank so that my fish would congregate and swim up there (there’s so much swimming room!) It’s a 29 gallon tank that’s been running for about 3 months. It is currently stocked with 10 tiger barbs, 1 GBR, 7...

what is happening lol?!? A snail crawled up in the other and won’t let go! I’ve got video of the yellow one trying to throw the white one off!

Yes, it is located only on top of that decoration.
