I'm going to be upgrading to a 4 bulb t5ho fixture from a 2 bulb and will need to really get my ferts in gear. Up til now I have just been fertilizing 3x a week with flourish, iron, and macros with adequate co2 but would like to start properly EI dosing with dry ferts due to ease and cost. I will just measure out the day's ferts in a pill box divider and dump em in every day and it should be easy. I need to know where in edmonton to go to buy ferts locally, won't need much, just for a 36 gallon

I say just let em breed and get some assassin snails.Watching them chase down and tackle a big fat ramshorn is like watching an aquarium michael bay movie.

Holy crap I'm in love!!!

I would just phone hagen and ask them to send me a new one. They're pretty good w/ customer service

I housed some guppies and mollies together and the mollies were the biggest @$$-face fish I have ever seen. Wouldn't let the guppies swim in their favorite areas of the tank, would charge at them whenever they tried to hang around the top at feeding time... they got taken back to the store right quick

That's fine. In my planted tank I have my photoperiod from 11am-8pm, moonlights from 8pm-1am, all lights off until 5am when the moonlights come back on until the photoperiod begins again at 11. Everything is thriving and healthy

Maybe in tanks but for fish, plants, and dry goods I find that they're always lower. I bought a fluval ebi from AC and it was $10 cheaper than Al's. Plus the guys there are a lot cooler

Price?

If you wanna buffer your substrate for plants root tabs help too. I use seachem flourish root tabs and just cut em up into small pieces n shove em in every 2 inches or so. They're a lot harder and more well designed than other root tabs and actually dissolve slowly like they're supposed to so every if you stir up your substrate they won't cause algae blooms like other root tabs that are fully dissolved and unleash bombs of unneeded nutrients

I buy these 1.99$ bags of rocks from ikea, get probably 100-150 rocks of various sizes (not too big but good workable sizes) and zip tie any floaty plants to them. Works great for anubias nana petite

any picture? just wondering how it looks like. thanks. The tank is at my fiance's house; I will try to get a pic asap

I bought some ikea bendable diodr strips and stuck them onto a plastic bridge that i put between the arms on the lighting apparatus. Doesn't look pretty at all but works very well, albeit an expensive way. I was just in a rush and wanted to do it that day or else I'd order off dealextreme and save tons of money

I have this also. I put some black pantyhose over the intake and will just have to scrape off any detritus build up to keep it effective while still baby shrimp friendly. Not to mention it's hard to find stuff to shove into the first pocket other than the fluval brand carbon made for this filter which I can't even find anywhere except a couple places from the states online. I tried shoving in pieces of carbon from other fluval kits that I cut up (to help clear a ton of tannins out) and it made a horrible noise and the flow reduced after a while. Other than that I haven't come across any noise but I've heard of it happening lots online. Most can be fixed with wiggling the impeller and reseeding it or reorganizing any non fluval approved media they put in the filter

Hey there I'm also from edmonton. Just joined. Have only two nano tanks right now, a fluval ebi and an edge. Gotta get around to taking some good pics of em to post up
