Awesome! Thanks for the help!

@Colin_T So...I haven't set anything up yet. But I have some totes ready and soil and fertilizer. Lol. My question is...which of these lights should I get? They are all LED. This set up is going into a room that doesn't get direct light and these don't seem very expensive. And I can attach it...

Thanks so much for the info! I will definitely have to give it a try. I will post pics of when I get it setup. This may be very interesting!

So...I could do plastic tubs instead of pots though? As long as I drill some small holes anyway? Some people have one large plastic tub with smaller ones inside that hold the soil, and the larger one holds the water. Would this work? Also, I'm assuming I would keep the lid on the bigger...

So....I was looking into the best way to start growing and propogating some plants fairly easily that is not in a typical aquarium set up. Like....if I bought plastic tubs and added lights. Is submersed or emersed the better way for this? I am mainly looking at some different types of anubias...

Well it won't exactly be soon. Gotta let my panda cories grow more before putting the guppies in that tank. Then I don't have to buy more of them! Then I will almost have a free quarantine. I will have to let any baby guppies grow after I get the adults out! Lol.

I'm looking for something to go with the gourami....I'm pretty sure zebra danios aren't it! Way too boisterous. I actually tried harlequins before....now, I'm not sure that the gourami was bothered by them, but the glowlights didn't like them at all and hid in one part of the tank. Those may be...

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've posted. Some things have changed. I'm just trying to do a little research because I'm having issues with my 55 gallon. I have a bunch of glowlight tetras, a blue 3 spot gourami, a Male super red bristlenose, and 3 peppered cories. Water parameters last I...

Just fyi....the tank being level is a little different than what the OP is mentioning, though he found it while checking the level. Rimmed tanks need to be FLAT on a surface to make the tank secure so the glass won't have pressure points. But the actual water level being off, as long as the...

I absolutely love my floating plants! I have salvinia minima in two tanks and some amazon frogbit in one of them as well. I see all the fish up picking around the roots, even the cories! And seeing as how other plants so far dont seem to grow so well yet...the floaters have helped dramatically...

Just a bit of an update and to clarify the behavior. I wouldn't really call these fish hyper. but they are not as sedate as the glowlights. They have their moments of zippiness but it's not constant. I do think I'm going to try them with the black neons and see how it goes. Then I just need a...

Yes, I do have moderately hard water and unfortunately love the tetras. Lol. Though I'm trying to stay with the more adaptable species. I wouldn't call the glowlights active per say.....but they didn't just stay in one corner. The rasboras just seem like to go back and forth a lot and are faster...

20 gallon high is 24 long x 12 wide x 16 tall. Current stocking right now is 13 black neon tetras and 1 male guppy. Lots of snails. Planted(or trying to be lol). My floating salvinia minima is awesone. Anyway....I recently added 7(for a total of 8) harlequin rasboras to my 55 gallon where my...

Thanks!

Is it OK for the blue to be on at the same time as the white? I'm only asking because with this light you can get their timer which is not a ramp timer. But you set the white and blue lights seperately. I would want the blue lights to come on first and go off last to sort of make it a bit of a...
