hm... thats a question i ran into before myself as i used 3 spiral CFs over my tank of 06 and 07 in my signiture. I was told to take into the consideration only the lower wattage of the CF specs for my WPG calculation. so... for a small tank with 2.9 WPG... lol.. Im not sure anymore... maybe...

That amount of light is too much for a tank without CO2 injection. Without CO2, the plants will not be able to adequately utilize the fertilization you give them, no matter how powerful ur lighting is. Im afraid you might be growing some algea soon in my honest opinion. Just according to the...

Nope they will not. from my experience with them that is. HTH

I dont have the Hengels, but I have rasbora espeis. They have no problem being in a High light tank, but Ive found that they dont like to form a very tight shoal. I agree about the Harlequins. Jeremy

Hello The dwarf chain, no, not that Ive seen anyway... or maybe if it does, it doesnt do it ANYWHERE near as much as riccia. Hemianthus Callitrichoides, a little, but still much less than riccia. With HC, the bubbles like to collect at the top of the plantlets. H. Micranthemoides I dont know...

Hello. I just got my light kit today by mail and am REALLY hoping it can run T5HO tubes. I bought it from a polish website so I didnt really know the specs of the whole thing. It runs 4x 24Watt T5s.... comes with the ballast, 4 reflectors 8 clips, 8 waterproof endcaps with cable, and a main...

Hello all. Ive been wondering, whats the difference, if there is one, between T5 tubes and T5HO tubes? Or are all T5s High Output? Do i need a different ballast for the T5HO? Thanks Jeremy

Shrimps do reproduce like rabbits given the right conditions, and that, is basically just clean water. Im talking about shrimps like the Cherry red shrimp and probably all of the Neocardina species... I have Cherry reds and Pearl whites and they go off like crazy. Amano shrimp needs brakish...

Hey Its weird cos the leaves do not resemble nana leaves at all. They are not as round and are longer than the nana leaves. I just took a couple of photos with my camera phone. here they are: what do you guys think?

Nope cos they dont speak English. I live in Poland but im not Polish. any ideas?

Sorry mate, tried that. Im just hoping it stays small around 5cm. Anyone have any clue?

I just saw a bunch of Anubias in a Local fish shop labeled as Anubias Minima "Bonsiae". Anyone heard of these? I cant find any info on the internet. Thanks Jeremy

make sure the valve is on the right way yea. not sure which way that is, but make sure its correct. I dont kno the qualiy of those hagen bottles... but if it is the valves problem, pressure might make it burst!!! um. bicarbs dont really add more effect to the bubbling, but it makes the mixture...

If there are bubbles comming out of the tube ending then the mixture should be fine. But i dont understand how the bubble can just stay there if theres a constant flow of bubbles from the tube... so Im guessing the mixture aint working? Are there bubbles coming from the end of the tubing? If...

How can u tell if its grown out or inside of water? or am I gonna have to ask the shop from which I got the plants from?
