I kept a Planted Tank Log for years then got out of the habit after moving. It was very beneficial in teaching me how to "read" the plants and understand what was happening based on increasing or...

On second thought, you can have the oak stained pine stand if you still need it. I should be here most of the week so any time is good. I'm pretty sure it will fit in the back of your car :D

I have both a solid pine stand with an oak stain on it and a couple of iron stands in the basement I need to get rid of. Gimme a PM and we can make a deal ;)

I have a few front views with some measurements that may be of help to you here here. I also have top views of the racks and could e-mail them to you if you are interested.

2x4s are plenty...

Cherries, Yellows, Blues, Snowballs, and Blue Pearls all appear off-white or even clear when very young. I don't have any experience breeding or raising Ghost Shrimp but if they have that body style...

210 watts on a 90g tank would seem to be enough light for the plants so that probably isn't an issue unless you are trying to grow some foreground plants like Glosso or Hemianthus callicitroides...

Here is an example of how different K rated bulbs look over the same tank. Pay particular attention to post #2 and post #6. The pictures in those posts will give you an example of how things seem...

Since you are using 40w bulbs and I assume magnetic ballasts you are a kind of limited in your selection.

I use Phillips F32T8/TL865/Plus Altos in my shop lights and they are a good all around...

Looks like you mainly have valisneria and moss in there. None of those are poisonous to fish. About the only plant I do know of that is poisonous to fish is Hygrophila sp. 'Balsamica' and that is...

As previously stated, you need to delete some of your older messages to make room for the new ones. Following uaru73's instructions should help you delete your messages. Depending on how this site...

Did you get the tank set up yet?

I'm interested in one of your 100g tanks if you still have them available.

I still need either tank, preferably a 125g but a 100g would work just as well.

If you'll be at the auction, I'll take the bag of Soilmaster.

I'll take them Chad. If ya want to PM me to work out the details feel free.

Here is a nice write up on creating a moss wall. It gives some good info on the type of mesh to use.

Yep, trying to give people a little heads up :) Here recently overseas vendors have been doing a poor job at getting plants to seller in the US. There are a couple who may be having their...

How is the tank progressing? By now I would think you have pruned the majority of plants at least once and possibly more. Are you ready to set up the 30g yet?

I would have to disagree with...

Stainless steel should be fine to use. In the plant community, people attach moss, riccia and various other types of plants to squares of stainless steel. A buddy of mine used a sandwich of two...

I'm looking for a 100 or 125g tank. I'd be willing to trade a nice 55g with stand and lights. You can see a pic of the 55g tank here.

I have a 55g tank, stand, and top for sale. The tank is in excellent shape as is the stand. The top is the plastic "Versa Hood" type and comes with comes with two 18w or 20w lights. I'm asking $150...

Dan or Cory would probably be a good place to start but don't forget your fellow hobbyists. Neonrob usually has quite a few plants for sale right here in the Trading Post and I imagine there are a...

Another option, depending on the type of filter(s) you plan on using on the 150g, would be to put the filter(s) you intend to use on the 150g on the 29g for a couple of weeks. I realize this may not...

That is definitely a better system for a non-CO2 tank. If you have a canopy on your tank, a simple T-8 shop light with an electronic ballast will give you enough light for the setup you have in mind...

Try contacting Endlerman, I think he usually has some available.
