I have heard of blasting it with flourish excel in the past but can you elaborate? Also as far as picking it of by hand I have done that but find it tedious at best and it is on so many fine plants it would be difficult I will take some pics and maybe you can give me some more ideas. Also if you could elaborate on the shrimp that would be great. I am new to planted tanks and don't know much about shrimp at all. Will my fish eat them? I have 4 angelfish...... about 15 Cardinal Tetras.... 6 Golden Barbs..... about 6 six zebra danios...... a couple of butterfly plecos and about 8 zebra snails Thanks!

I have heard of a few different fish to use and need to determine the best solution to my problem.... What is the best fish to get rid of this annoying hair algae? It is all over my plants, some of the fish I have heard to use include: 1.Ameca Splendens 2. American Flag Fish 3. Siamese Algae Eaters Any suggestions..........

Just a quick update. Looked around for used glass and wasn't having much luck so I called Gold's. You can't beat the price. $30.00 for two separate lids custom sized! Thanks for your everyone's input!

Thanks for your help. Is there a minimum thickness I should be looking for?

I am just wondering what everybody for glass lids? Do you just suck it up and buy from your LPS? Have you had something made from a glass store? Any ideas would be helpful!

Thanks for the advice I reallly do appreciate it!

I have a 55 gal tank and I just put in 4 plants to start: 1. Water sprite 2. Anubias Nana 3. Bacopa Caroliniana 4. Pervensis ( I was told) I also put in half a dozen danios and half a dozen golden barbs. For lighting I have 2 18" 17 watt lamps. I am pretty positive I need more light as I would like to get more involved on the plant side of things but I do not know how much I need. What size( in watts) of light fixture should I buy? does anyone have a fixture for sale? Also any pruning tips would be great.

i went to burnco and added i bunch of Rundle stones. It looks really great. I have one concern though.....they are very heavy. How can I tell when i am pushing my luck with the weight?

I want to add a bunch of natural stone to my aquarium for my cichlids. I went to a rock quarry and have a few ideas but am open to suggestions. any ideas? Any treatment methods?

Thank you.... thats great!

I lust bought this canister filter(good for up to 70 gals.) and am just curious on maintaning it. The manual does not discuss this at all.....any suggestions
