Need some low light plants that can withstand being grown at 84 degrees. I don't know what happened. I changed my substrate, and raised the temp from 78 to 84, and then I added my discus and some bolivian rams. The fish are doing awesome, but the plants are all dying. Literally melting and...
I'm wanting to get some easy to care for plants that are grassy. Something like the Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis parvula), but it doesn't have to be specifically. Anyone have some they would like to sell or know of a place I can buy some? Thanks.
I just bought a new 75 gallon, 4' x 18" x 20" tank and I'm asking for input... live vicariously for a moment and tell me how you'd do it :)
I haven't decided on much yet. I know it'll be a community tank, sand bottom, 108W of lights, 1 Eheim 2217 to start, but everything else is kinda...

send me cash offers please or posibilities for trade include curviceps, apisto male...
Here's an interesting little item. Some of our members keep fish from Lake Kivu. (Young Matt Quinn, I believe.) The Lake is thought to have given rise to the species that later gave rise to the specie flock in Lake Victoria. However, the lake is also heavily stratified, with the deeper...
Looking for some free moss or carpeting plant preferably. I can pay for shipping if it isn't too much. Not working right now, but just got a nice new piece of free driftwood that I'd like to attach some moss to. I can't find any around here for some reason, thanks.

I think I read somewhere that 50/50 or blue actinic bulbs don't help with plants at all. All my fixtures have 10K and actinic bulbs. I like the looks of mixed lighting. But should I even turn the blue bulbs on during the day? If the blue bulbs do nothing for plants, then I am wasting energy...
Hey all,
My cousin is turning his 55 into a discus tank and live plants are hard for him to come by in Brooklyn. I will be visiting him the 2nd week of March and he asked if I could bring him some plants. If anyone has any hearty plants that will survive a 5-8 hour car ride I will be...

Here's the website. Apparently these plants are out there... easy to come by if you are not forwarned... seem cute, pretty, and grow fast.. but cause so much harm they are 'illegal'.
I am sure that none of us wants to add to the problems our ponds and streams already have...
I am ready for more 'GREEN' (plants that is). Maybe adding more aquatic plants to my 75g will help me get past this cold spell - At least to the changing of the clocks for Daylight Saving!
The GWAPA topic is algae, and what it means.... (Usually I think I'm lucky not to have much algae.)...
