Rough week. RIP Beauforti

Most land plants need their roots airated though so the roots cannot always be fully submerged and and if they are the water cannot be stagnant or the root will rot. Peace lily seems to like lots...

Wonderful!!! I am also working in this direction. I have plants in a 10 gallon and am testing to see how fast they use up the nitrate. I hope that you will try to get some idea of exactly how much nitrate x number of plants use up. I was making plans for a long narrow acrylic aquarium to hold the p...

Way to go 8) Excellent work. I am sure, this will be the direction, serious loachkeeping steers to. I have plans similar, except I am planing to cut open Polypropylene pipes (wastewater) and cover the holes with (thin) pvc or acrylic sheets, that follow the shape of the pipe due to heattreatment. I...

My new Loach tank using Aquaponics and HF turbulent tube
