Why?

If your aquarium looks beautiful and the water is crystal clear, everything is wonderful… right? Unfortunately not.

* In an established aquarium, bacteria convert ammonia (produced mainly by decaying food and fish waste) to nitrite, and nitrite to nitrate (NO3). Nitrate is the end result of the Nitrogen Cycle, and while it is the least toxic form of nitrogen...

From what I took from the article it sounds like my tank is ideal for it (low pH & fast moving streams of water- spray bars). Ugh!!!

So far, it appears the driftwood has been afflicted in addition to some of the grass-like plants and theres a few specks beginning on the back of the tank wall.

my set up i was thinking about would be all the standard stuff they give you except maybe the substrate to be better suited for plants and i will most likely buy an extra 13 watt cfl.

That $110 for the extra light and the tank itself on amazon. and then spend about $30-$50 on plants and the shrimp

for the species in the tank i was thinking of two types of set ups. One would be a dwarf orange crayfish and...
