Re: betta tank decoration ideas
Yo, go for some anubias tied to rocks. Super easy, and my fish loves chilling under the leaves. Also, floating plants like frogbit give a cool vibe and help with light diffusion.

Re: Why Do My Plants Look Stringy?
I've seen this happen when the tank is too clean. Plants need some nitrates to thrive. If your water changes are too frequent or too large, it might be stripping the nutrients they need.
True, but you gotta balance it. Too many nitrates can lead to algae. I'd aim for 10-20 ppm nitrates for a ...

Re: Why Do My Plants Look Stringy?
Another thing to consider is nutrient balance. If your plants are getting enough light but still look stringy, they might be lacking something. Have you tested your phosphate levels? Low phosphate can cause thin growth.

Re: Daily water changes in a 10g sps tank: sufficient maintenance?
Hey all, back in the game after a 5-6 year break and I'm stoked to be diving in again with a bit more financial freedom. So, I was at a car park and some random dude just handed me a free 10g nano - guess you could say it was meant to be, haha. I've got the basics down on low-maintenance coral ...

Re: Daily water changes in a 10g sps tank: sufficient maintenance?
While the KISS principle is great for simple systems, it falls short when dealing with SPS and their specific needs. A stable environment is crucial, but achieving that in a small tank like a 10-gallon is extremely challenging.

Re: Creating a trio of true percs: my observations
Think I might've caused some confusion, referring to the breeder net idea, I meant the newcomer or the one getting picked on should be the one in the net, not the established pair, that way it can get used to them without the hassle.

Re: Creating a trio of true percs: my observations
how big are the clowns in there? i've seen setups with around 7-10 clowns and most of the time its the biggest one causing trouble. removing the big guy won't help either, the second biggest would just take its place.
