    PH and driftwood

    Evening! Complete newby here. Joined a forum because of the false advice I keep getting given by aquarium shops (After failing my first tank from being told I can put a load of fish in a new tank after a few days). I'm now running a fully cycled 120litre stocked tank with no issues after a lot...

    Shrimp hiding all of the time

    Hi, so I had a new aquarium around a month ago and had a couple of amano shrimp in there. The shrimp, along with all of the other fish were really happy and doing great. However i haven't seen my shrimp in around a week now so I looked for them and got a torch and looked under some drift wood...

    Pleco wonā€™t eat

    Hi, I got what I believe to be a common pleco about two days ago, heā€™s in a 4ft 250L tank. Iā€™m concerned for him as he wonā€™t go near the drift wood Iā€™ve provided, instead he tends to prefer a wooden-looking barrel instead. The barrel is plastic so heā€™s not eating it. I canā€™t seem to convince him...

    Try for the "blackwater" look

    I very recently learned about black water aquariums and am trying to figure things out with a 10 gallon before possibly doing a 20 gallon. I decided not to mess with changing the pH but if it does change after adding leaves and driftwood, then that's okay. So far, I've added a bunch of oak...

    Got Some Driftwood!

    I got back home an hour ago with some driftwood sold to me by the store directly from the tank. It's mopani. A medium piece that won't take up too much space. I did notice one thing however when I took it home and took it from the bag, it seems to have some very small white spots in the crevices...

    Best Driftwood For My Tank?

    What is the best driftwood choice for my tank? None of my fish other than a small pleco can benefit from it, but I read its good for the overall health of the tank. What is the easiest kind of wood to cure/boil/soak of tannins before putting it into the water? I work nearly full time so a wood...

    Driftwood Fungus

    Hi everyone, I setup this 10 gallon tank about 2-3 weeks ago. I tied willow moss to the wood, placed in the tank and planted dwarf hairgrass and AR mini at the same time. I noticed white fuzzy growth on the wood that I had seen before in my other tank and thought it was just fungus that grows on...

    Tank Scaping So Far.

    Got my 75gal up and running! Slowly getting some plants in there. I have the driftwood held down by some rocks. Thinking I may add more driftwood and plants to hopefully get the Amazon look as close as possible. May have to change out the light system as well. I have 2 Rainbow cichlids and I...

    Something Has Turned My Driftwood Into A Muppet

    I think I've identified this fuzz as staghorn algae...? Ā  It's usually white but turned hot pink the other day?! Ā  I tried all day yesterday to post this but couldn't for some reason. Ā  I went home and cut all of my anacharis down to stubs (some of the tips had it growing on it). Ā  And I boiled...

    Removing Driftwood/decor From Established Tank

    I have a 10 gallon tank with some driftwood and anubias attached to it, would it be alright if i took it out and added it to new tank because my fish keeps biting the leaves off. I was curious if it would create a mini cycle in the tank.

    Mold On Emergent Driftwood!

    DIDNT KNOW WHERE ELSE TO ASK THIS! Figured planted people may have experienced the same thing. IĀ recently finished my natural planted tank. Used the ol' Walstad method, and its working flawlessly. My only issue is I have a piece of driftwood that sticks probably 6-7 inches out of the top of the...

    So.. Tannins

    So I didnt know the mopani driftwood was going to make my water as murky as it did. But ii dont mind just two questions. Does it affect the water clarity or anything chemically in the water? And does it affect the plans in the tank, i have java fern, mosses and banana plant.
