It's not a great pic (taken with my phone), but this hitch-hiked in on some plants, and I know I saw a thread somewhere with an ID for this before, but I can't remember what it is, and I can't find that post. It's basically a very long thin stem with nodes. At each node is a little ball shape...

So keep in mind I literally put this together on the fly, since I ended up with some rilis rather unexpectedly. It's looking a bit jungly, but the shrimp seem to like it. lol I've already made a ton of changes between day 1 and this shot, and have more in mind still, so it has a long way to go...

This guy specializes in DIY, and I really liked the way he explained and broke down the fully creation of this LED light. Made me feel much more comfortable with the idea of building one for myself, especially since he did it with solderless LEDs He also build this one with an LED strip...

I want to start by thanking everyone that replied to my various threads of questions. The advice and information was incredibly helpful and vastly appreciated. You helped me avoid a number of mistakes/problems and I am happy to have been able to benefit from other people's experience and...

This is a tentative layout for when I go through the upgrade of the tank. I'd really like to hear any opinions on how this will look, or any potential issues I may have overlooked. I've been looking at this so long, now, that I'm afraid I've lost the ability to discern - sort of like when you...

I've never use AS before (always used dirt capped with sand), and I've seen a couple comments about initial ammonia spikes with it. Is that still an issue with it? If so, does anyone know how much of a spike it creates? Thanks!

29 gal tank probably going to get a 10lb CO2 tank I will be overhauling the tank soon, and plan to add pressurized CO2. I have never done a pressurized system before, and have been doing a ton of research on regulators. I have two main priorities: 1. Reliability 2. Ease of Use At the current...

I'm going to be redoing my 29 gal tank and will be using HC Cuba and probably Rotala rotundifolia in parts of the tank, both of which will need trimming. Other plants are all crypts, so no issue there. My question is what brand and size of curved scissors do people like and dislike and why...

Anyone have a good way to get rid of hard water from the exterior of a glass tank? I got this tank used, and I have never been able to get rid of some of the hard water. I haven't tried any chems - afraid to get any in the tank. I have tried vinegar though, and it helped, but still have some.

I'm looking to redo my tank in the next month or two, and want to foray a little into aquascaping. I've kept plants before, but never really done a planned aquascaped tank. Anyway, in my web searches, I have seen a number of tanks that incorporate a 'road' often done with sand, but sometimes...
