Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
I skipped over DebR’s question earlier this morning (what the heck am I doing getting up at 4 AM when I can sleep late?). Algae is a primitive plant, probably the most primitive we are likely to see up close and personal. It is often the first plant to grow in aquaria, even if we […]
The level of KH, and with its resultant effect on GH, your partially- related GH’s level as well — and the amount of crushed coral to be used to maintain this KH (as previously stated) — will both be dependant upon the factors/components of your water which will be counteracting this buffering […]
Hi Bill,
That was me… the king of links. I never did do much research on that site to see how good their database was but here’s the link. After you put in your water parameters, let us know which fish they recommend.

The website has a URL with Aquaria.info but their […]
Okay so I lost a couple of the plants I had started with when I added salt and raised the temps, but most of them made it through fairly well. I have since lowered the salt by a couple PWC’s, I believe I’m down to barely anything (9 TBS total, in 125 […]
Don, we planned to use lava rock only to quickly and inexpensively get us through the rest of this season. The plan was to take the rock out and using it for landscaping after the season. And put in some more suitable bio media next spring. My understanding is the […]
The “Expert” must have a heavily planted tank where high amounts of cO2 are desired. In a goldfish tank you NEED that aeration to break the surface tension of the water. Oxygen exchange occurs at the waters surface. Still or motionless water has very low oxygen exchange.
Please make sure you have the air stones […]

I have a 10 gallon tank, live plants, that I have had running for a couple of months now. I feed it with flake food daily and all my API tests are running at zero with a pH of 7.8. (I started it with a filter from an established tank along with some […]
