  1. El Natural
    Disclaimer: This is a long post. I appreciate help with any section. Thank you! Hello everyone. My name is Elise, and I'm new to the hobby. I would like to preface this by saying that I have read Diana Walstad's book, a few of her supplemental articles, and much more on this forum and others...
  2. General Aquarium Plants Discussions
    Hi folks Been keeping a small "low tech" tank (60 x 20 x 20 cm) for 5 months. Plants are mostly Eleocharis mini, Mayaca fluviatilis and some Salvinia. I´ve been dosing the tank with Seachem Flourish daily, around 6 drops per day. Substrate is MBreda Amazônia, a local aquasoil brand (3 mm...
  3. El Natural
    Hi, I'm starting a new aquarium project that is ultimately for mosses and other plants that don't root in gravel. And now the question arises, does it also make sense to use soil under the gravel in such an aquarium? I could plant some plants with roots, but mainly at the back wall of the...
  4. El Natural
    Howdy! I kept nano marine tanks for years but after my beloved watchmen goby (had him for 4 1/2 years!!) jumped I let my tank fade away. I bought a 12" Mr. Aqua cube years ago and drilled it intending for it to replace my 8 gallon biocube. It has a 2.5 gallon refugium and a Coral Compulsion...
  5. El Natural
    Hello everyone, I'm still somewhat new to all this and this forum. I started a brand new 55 gallon tank almost 3 weeks ago (Setup on 1/16/2017) using the Walstad method (No Co2, No Ferts, Nothing). Here is what I did and what plants, fish I have in it - Also please see attached pics links...

  7. Journals
    I set this up a couple weeks ago, but, never got around to starting a journal on it, until now! This is set up with a dirt bottom (couple of spoonfuls of a pre-used substrate mix with top soil, clay kitty litter, fluorite, sand) topped with pool filter sand. Plants include a Vesuvius sword...
  8. Journals
    Hello all! Starting my first journal here, with my second tank ever and my first foray into the planted sector of freshwater aquaria. My goal with this is to be a relatively low-maintenance tank without sacrificing on the beauty. Equipment 75 Gallon Aqueon tank from LFS Black pine stand from...
  9. El Natural
    Hi everyone, this is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a while. I've been keeping fish off and on for 20+ years, but recently decided to get more into planted aquariums. I bought Diana's book and have read most of it. OK, on to the question. I ordered an All Glass triple tube T8...
  10. El Natural
    Its a low tech with 2 15 watt spiral CF's that has mosses some duckweed ferns and anubias. I'm thinking about getting a med size potted plant to throw in behind some rocks in there. What should I do with a potted plant when I put it in the tank? Leave it in the pot I bought it in? Maybe some...
  11. Aquascaping
    I started this tank about a month and a half ago. I was somewhat trying to imitate Orion2001's tank (http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/aquascaping/53868-my-first-planted-tank-10-gallon.html) - it seemed like one of the more professional looking first tanks I've seen on here, and that...
  12. Neon Bebop 63 Liter

    63 liter low tech aquascape. Not enough light for carpet plants, but things are growing good here now. Plenty of shrimps and ottos keep things tidy, while tetras and 2 dwarf gruamis are the highlights.
