My water parameters are:

Ammonia 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm pH 7.8 GH 16 dKH KH 3 dKH

I have a planted tank with angelfish, rummy nose, a green phantom pleco and zebra loaches.

Previously my tank had a lot of plant melting, I figured there wasn’t enough GH and added coral chips to the water. Now is the GH too high? Should I be concerned? Will the plants be affected?

It’s weird to me that pH is high but KH is low.

Has anyone grown an algea carpet? I think I want to try it on my 60gallon. Any tips or tricks on getting it to grow?

First planted tank larger than a 5 gallon any good recommendations for lighting I am wanting to raise whichever light I get so it’s not just flat across the top of the tank so I can grow plants outside the tank as well

Hi, so I have a 5.5 gal tank with only a hardscape in it right now. I want a nice thin carpet and I am in between monte carlo and dwarf baby tears. I wanted to attempt the dry start method, and through research it seems I have to use co2? I was looking into systems and found that the Aquatek Paintball diffuser was the highest recommended system. I just wanted to ask if I should get co2, and my plan was to put shrimp in this tank.

I wanted to know all the required materials and any advice for starting co2, because when I looked up the Aquatek diffuser it seemed that all it came with was the diffuser.. or if anyone has any helpful youtube vids they could link with tutorials!! Tysm

I just bought these red root floaters online (Etsy best seller) and it was delivered yesterday. I put them in fresh water and added a bit of thrive fertilizer. They don’t seem to be in good shape. Will they survive?

what can i do to improve? aside from working on my camera skills

also: tips for making more little anubias from my one big anubia? how do i propagate it without stopping the growth of the piece i cut from? thanks :)

Need some plant recommendations/advice from you peeps! Thanks so much!

Idk if I wanna trim this or not. I kinda like it.

I recently got a 30 gallon and I decided to start doing some house plants. These two are a place lily and philandron. The peace lily is about one week old and the philandron is a few days old. I noticed the peace lily has some dying leaves and others turning yellow. I was wondering if these plants have enough light? I was also curious if house plants melted when their roots become fully submerged.

Hi,

Just got this 29 gallon tank in the Midwest USA. Trying to create planted tropical tank for tetras. Please help with suggestions on substrate and plants for a beginner. TIA

Couldn't wait for my filter to arrive, or my CO2art regulator, or purchase the actual plants I want for this little tank, but after a major hack back on my other tank, i decided to fire this little guy up.

Some Limnophila Sessiflora cuttings, and rrf/water lettuce for floaters, and filled it up.

TRU Nano canister should arrive in the next week or so, and will snap up a regulator on black Friday, along with an assortment of plants (some type of small carpeting plant, reineckii mini for the back for some colour, and likely some little bucephalandra to stick in the rock in a few spots.

I see Petco has tanks on sale. I am setting up my old 90 gallon reef tank as a planted tank. I want to get a smaller isolation tank for new plants and livestock, but not sure how small to go. What do you recommend? Is 20 ok? They have 20 long and 20 deep. Do I need a HOB filter for it? I eventually want to have fish, shrimp, and snails with the plants. Any recommendations welcome.
