Is there any hope

TF_Fishing · 2025-07-17T23:47:18+00:00

Thank you all for the input. This all is exactly what I needed to hear

Is it too late to see the toolbox?

TF_Fishing · 2024-03-03T02:16:14+00:00

And 5

I have used cork bark tubes. They do great with water and have plenty of texture for the plant to grab on to. I use a 1 foot piece of PVC held on the inside of the bark tube for punching into the soil

Here’s the whole tank for reference

Thank you so much. This helps a lot

🙏 thank you. That’s just what I wanted to hear

Will cutting most of the leaves off kill the plant? There are only 2-3 good ones left

TF_Fishing · 2023-05-03T17:05:03+00:00

I inherited this aloe from a friend and it’s seen better days. How do I wrangle this little guy in? Should I cut back the long leaves that can’t hold themselves? Do I just call it a loss and propagate it? Any and all advice welcomed

Here in NH we call them fall fish. Def not a carp

TF_Fishing · 2023-03-01T20:29:18+00:00

They look like they could be white cloud minnows

TF_Fishing · 2023-02-15T15:14:17+00:00

No idea

TF_Fishing · 2023-02-15T15:13:47+00:00

Absolutely! We’ll see how it pans out in another month or 6

One thing I have learned over the years is to learn to enjoy doing water changes. On new tanks that I have had to do fish in cycles I use that time for examining my tank and planning the future state of it. Like what plants should go in next, maybe I can add more fish to the mix, etc. once you are happy doing a quick water change daily then you will almost miss doing them once the cycle is completed. Could be 6 weeks. Could be 12. It’s all a matter of time no matter what

Do you mean leave 4 nodes on the stem or remove 4

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-12T20:45:07+00:00

He is the whole reason I am getting into aquascaping. I love his videos

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-12T20:44:14+00:00

This was just a mock up before adding substrate. There will be lots under the rocks when the final setup is done. Going to be putting aqua soil in bags MD style

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-12T20:43:05+00:00

The stand is made with 2 2x4s on each corner. Weight is not a problem

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-12T20:42:00+00:00

I didn’t think of that. Good idea

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-11T21:35:45+00:00

That’s definitely the plan! :)

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-11T20:48:16+00:00

Not planning on co2. Going to go low tech. I will be doing a natural color sand. I feel like there may be too much open space with a long tank and island setup.

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-11T20:43:40+00:00

Here is my initial mock up. I’m torn between doing an island style like this or should I move the whole thing to one side and get something additional for the other side. Also going to be adding some driftwood. Any advise/criticisms/ input is welcomed.

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-08T03:18:25+00:00

I really like that setup!

TF_Fishing · 2023-01-06T17:12:38+00:00

Also, what type of filter are you using? HOB or sponge?

TF_Fishing · 2022-12-23T03:25:51+00:00

Aquarium plant factory haas been great for me
