    White dots on plants

    Iā€™ve noticed two new plants I recently added have formed some sort of white dots. Itā€™s also on another plant in the tank that I donā€™t think is doing so well. Hope these pictures help. Any ideas?

    What are my plants telling me?

    Hi! These hygrophila pinnatifida have been growing in my 50L tank for a couple of months. They have lost all the original lower leaves, but have grown side shoots and the stems have rooted themselves in the substrate. But the new leaves aren't that deep green with redish undersides, they're...

    Fluval plant & shrimp substrate - layer of dirt over everything?

    Sorry for the bad quality photo. Iā€™ve set up a new 5gal tank using plant substrate for the first time. Everything in there looks gross and dirty. Itā€™s been about a week since I planted it. The rocks were light and all the plants bright green before planting them kicked up all the dust and it...

    Hygrophila?? šŸ¤”

    Any idea what this is? I bought a mystery bunch with all sorts of different plants ages ago and I've never worked out what this is... It didn't do well in the last tank I had it in, probably because of poor lighting and not enough nutrition in the gravel....so it's been pushing out all these...

    P.H Questions

    Hello everyone! My tank is finally completely stocked and I have some questions about my p.h. I will be testing it again later tonight but recently it has lived in the 7.2-7.4 range. I need to have it somewhere closer to 7.0-7.2 in order for it to suit most of my inhabitants. My Stock: 40.3 g 1...

    Can I turn the pump off?

    Iā€™ve got a completely DIY planted tank going for my bedroom. Itā€™s only a 15l tall tank (I re-siliconed an old reptile enclosure and installed gaps for piping) so Iā€™ve made a homemade filter from some parts I had lying around. Itā€™s got a chamber with some ceramic filter media and an external...

So here are some questions I have! Cycling...

    Advice on Stock Redux

    So here I am, back again to ask about my stock. However, this time I'm asking before I plunge myself into the deep end and blindly start picking out fish for my tank. Overstocking has quickly become my greatest fear after one, quite frankly, rude reply I received concerning my stock (I'm a very...

    Planted Guppy Tank (54L)

    02.03.2021 Here goes nothing! This is my first project/undertaking involving fish. The plan is to have a planted tank with black sand as a substrate, dwarf hairgrass, amazon frogbit and possibly java fern for my guppies and corys to go in. For now, I'm still in the stage where I'm debating on a...
