New loach pics, lots with external light.
Hello everybody, its been a long time since I have taken pictures of my "little Orcas". Now I have new additions, my baby loaches, to the tank that make photography of my fish exciting again. Besides the obstacle of the top of my tank being covered with plants, I was able to fit an external flash ab...

Here is an update as of today Jan 28 2010. Hopefully next update I will have lots of little red vine ripe tomotoes in the pic. The first pic is a comparison of the system from July 2009 to January 2010. I planted the tomato seeds about a month after (august 09). The tomato plants only started growin...

Thanks Diana. Keith, I use a hydrofarm single 4ft grow light kit. The bulb is the 6400k grow light tube that comes with their Hydroponic setup. Also, they can be daisy chained to add 7 more to total 8 units. Re nitrates: I had to do 3 per week 30% water changes to get my nitrate back under control s...

Here is an update: Like some of you suggested, I needed more light. Sorry for the delay of posting these but these pictures were taken about 2-3 weeks after the addition of the new light. The tomatoes started budding and the string beans are actually bearing. This is amazing to me since the only sou...

What else lives in your fish tank that you cannot see?! Pics
Today while cleaning out my filter, I noticed some miniscule movement in a droplet of water on the top of my bathtub side. A drop of water had fell from the canister filter when I was emptying it out. I was suddenly curious as to what exactly lives in the water with my fish weather it be good bugs (...

WOW!! :shock: I just went through 18 pages and Keith, you are the man! This whole setup is amazing from planning with great details and the execution. I like the fact that you reinforced your floor. Also, great choice of the most hardy dither fish, Rasbora borapetensis. Now, I might have missed it b...

It is confusing. My fish definitely don't act like they did in the past whenever the nitrates got even close to this level so I am wondering about the DOM content as well. I use canister filters. Regarding another possible cause of nitrates increase. I did mistakedly discover quite a bit of Planaria...
