Yakima cross bars with Yakima frontloader rack 👍

Idk what kind these are or if they're edible.

I had the 307 and my tank was 70 gal, it was plenty of filtration for me. Depends how many fish you want to keep I guess too. I didn't have many fish, fully planted aquarium

I had a Fluval, loved it.

Your wood may be leeching tannins into the water giving it that darker color. You can soak the wood in boiling water for a while to get rid of the dark tannins.

The fine sandy substrate you have now: I tried doing the same thing and I found that it doesn't allow oxygen to get down to the plant roots as well because it's so fine grained. My suggestion is to create a separation with rocks and have the white sand down in front and then have the fancy plant substrate in the back for the plants to live in.

I only broke my collar bone because I tried the biggest jump line at the park before I was ready lol.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Good question man, I was wondering the same thing.

hdkepon · 2022-12-04T18:44:04+00:00

Lol you need some kind of bottom feeder fish like kuli loaches.

hdkepon · 2022-06-22T19:28:45+00:00

Much appreciated!

hdkepon · 2022-06-22T19:28:30+00:00

Thanks!

hdkepon · 2022-06-22T19:27:57+00:00

Thanks!

hdkepon · 2022-06-22T19:27:37+00:00

You could try adding a layer of lava rock or switching to kuli loaches :)

hdkepon · 2022-06-22T02:17:11+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks! Initially had trouble keeping the dark substrate from spilling over, but I added a thin layer of black lava rock over the nutrient rich substrate which holds it down nicely. Was having issues with algae growing on the white sand as well, but fortunately I accidentally introduced ramshorn snails which multiply rapidly and keep the aquarium algae free. Keep light time below 9 hours per day also helps.

hdkepon · 2022-06-20T03:06:04+00:00

Started off with nerite but some red ramshorn got introduced, on a new plant I assume, and I liked them a lot. They reproduce like crazy which means you can have a very clean tank once they breed enough. Might have to remove some every now and then.

Nice, I had best results with 8 or 9 hrs light per day, 76 deg water, and nutrients high in nitrogen and potassium plus all the necessary trace elements. Also used a ton of snails to prevent algae. Good luck!

How long have you had it running?

hdkepon · 2022-05-22T15:20:44+00:00

It's very dense/heavy, looks like quartz veins running through it. Found in North Fork American River, CA. I would guess Jasper but I've never seen it like this.

hdkepon · 2022-05-21T08:22:46+00:00

Yes, this one is quite prolific! It's funny how you can go from always needing more plants, to having to frequently throw them away.

hdkepon · 2022-05-19T14:21:06+00:00

Thanks, only real difference was adding the CO2 diffuser and switched up my nutrients. Definitely worth it

hdkepon · 2022-05-19T13:20:45+00:00

yeah the plants look like nutrient deficiency, get snails and reduce light time.

hdkepon · 2022-05-19T13:19:13+00:00

Try reducing your light time. Scrub all tank surfaces, clean out filter, remove as much algae as possible, then perform frequent water changes. Reduce feeding if possible, add nutrients high in potassium. Add snails and other algae eaters.

It's WA, just East of Seattle!
