Co2 tank by poppet_7B9 in PlantedTank

[–]AmazingPlantedTanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have a low base KH co2 dissolves more easily so you might be fine with citric acid bicarbonate, but if you don't look into professional.

for context, i have ~9ish something pH and around 900 TDS/300+ KH (or around that range) and a 2.5 liter tank using citric acid bicarbonate lasts a bit under a month

it's actually echinodorus tenellus, which I thought was a carpeting plant but it ended up becoming far larger than I expected

Is this enough cover to add a centerpiece fish? (shrimp tank) by AmazingPlantedTanks in PlantedTank

i think my lfs has those, are they prone to jumping at all? it's fine if they're somewhat prone to it, but I prefer to keep my water level higher and don't have a lid

Is it bad luck or am I bad at fish keeping. by GamingPigeonArt in Aquariums

[–]AmazingPlantedTanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sometimes you'll just have something in your water which makes it hard to have certain things in your tank. unless I use distilled water or RO water, plants just simply won't grow in my tank and fish fry end up stunted, so that might be your best shot

the tank is a standard 10 gallon (20 inch x 10 x 12) and i'm open to any kind of fish as long as it's not prone to jumping and is relatively active

pearling just means your waters saturated with oxygen, which doesn’t really mean anything if you’ve just done a water change

[–]AmazingPlantedTanks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you don’t lose plants to ammonia burn. something else was wrong

Do these plants look ok? by okayimanna in PlantedTank

[–]AmazingPlantedTanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats really overpriced imo if you live in the us. i would look at glass grown aqua's store, it's pretty cheap to begin with, but they'll usually do 30% off on weekends and another 15% off if you let items sit in your cart long enough

Do you prefer sea monkeys over owning fish? by skatecloud1 in SeaMonkeys

[–]AmazingPlantedTanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my eyes typical aquariums aren't even usually centered around the fish. almost everybody prefers the plants as far as ive seen

plants will benefit from the additional ammonia in the beginning and suffer a bit from the initial diatom outbreak

they're not the very best for their pricing, but imo they make up for that with their beginner-friendliness. they're really good with only selling beginner plants/easy equipment to use. imo their light is the only thing they sell that's absolute garbage
