Re: Root tabs and liquid fertilizer combo?

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll try adding liquid fertilizer and see how it goes. My substrate is gravel, so I'll stick with the root tabs too.

Root tabs and liquid fertilizer combo?

I've been using root tabs for my Amazon Swords but they're still looking kinda weak. Would adding liquid fertilizer help, or is that overkill? My tank's a 40 gallon with moderate lighting, CO2 injection, and weekly water changes.

Re: buying fish that's been shipped: what to expect


I'm starting to think I'm the odd one out here, but I've had nothing but issues with shipped fish. Three times I've tried it, and each time it's been a disaster.

Why are my plants turning white?

I've had my tank for a year now and I'm stumped - my plants have been turning white over the past couple months. I just started using Easy Green a couple weeks ago, before that it was Fluval Gro+, which only had micronutrients. Not sure if that's the issue or something else entirely.

Causes of discolored plant leaves

I've got a bit of a concern with my hygrophila corymbosa - the leaves are turning discolored. Anyone know what might be causing this issue?
