  2. New to Planted Aquariums
    Recently I setup a new fresh water tank and it was my first planted tank. I thought it'd be great to show everyone the process from the beginning so I put together a video. So hope you enjoin it and please give some comment/advice if you could. Thanks.

    Hi, Who can think of a way to dose liquid KH or alk buffer using a dosing pump? It's easy to find solutions (no pun intended) for marine tanks OR powders for fresh water tanks. But I've not found a liquid product for fresh water. My tap water is 1KH so I need to dose alkalinity buffer, or...

If you know a thing or two about these plants, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm a...

    Hello! Okay so, today I observed my poor aquascaping skills and considered rearranging my plants. Leaf pruning went well, and so did the root snipping. After the taller plants were removed, I pulled up my microswords. When I went to check the roots, "ooh thats just a big bright red fish poo...
