I did once, in my earlier fishkeeping days, when I buried the rhizome in the substrate. If it was not buried, no idea, sorry.
I have two, synced. Loving them! My schedule: 6:30-8:00: 1/3/2/0 (White/Blue/Red/Green) 8:00-9:30: 13/10/60/6 9:30-17:30: 90/90/90/65...
I've also heard that people do this. Would make me too nervous, TBH. I believe that you're supposed to add enough dechlorinater for the total...
Same here: I full a large (110 L) tub with the hosepipe. However, in winter, I add a bucket (or 2, if very cold) of hot water which I carry from...
Yeah, looks good but I'm jumping on the no-bards bandwagon. They're not bad but usually need larger shoals to keep them out of mischief. If you...
I'm more of a "plants and small fish" kinda guy. Plants wouldn't be great for this tank because of its height (and the large fish would probably...
Wow, that's a crazy tall tank! What are your plans?
Yes, but at quite low levels: about 5 bps for a 450 L tank. Ultimately, whether you use CO2 or not, the total rate at which the plants grow is...
Update: I have gone ahead and ordered: Should arrive in a day or so. I want to document and post my build -- I love seeing descriptions of...
Hi, welcome back. I have a setup (heavily planted) where I do "low" (but not "no") water changes. I do a 20%-25% water change every four weeks;...
I think those are Chinese algae eaters. Similar at first glance but actually a very different "kettle of fish".
Nice. I guess one of the good things about them is that you don't really see them (aside from the uplift pipe) so they are fairly unobtrusive.
Thanks JoJo. When I was on the RBM Aquatics website earlier today, I saw a promotion they are running for 10% off all products ordered via their...
This is looking great. Such a good combination of simple and elegant.
Thanks, I think these are both good options. Now I'm actually leaning towards the Sobo (mentioned above). Will do a bit more research (a.k.a....
Thanks for everyone's input. This does look like a neat little setup: I've heard of RBM Aquatics but I've never used them (because they in Cape...
Hi all! My son (4 y/o) recently asked me for a fish tank of his own. He has the attention span and sense of responsibility of a cherry shrimp,...
Whoa, some of those are quite advanced. Almost like mini sumps packed underneath the substrate. Very interesting, thanks.
PS I remember once, ages ago, when I tore down and rebuilt my tank, I found a bunch of guppy fry (I think guppies, not sure) living under the...
Ja, I think sponge filters -- also driven by an air pump like the undergravel filters -- are as cheap and work better so are more popular these...
