| Advice: |
Do not experiment with equipment - use good filters, lights and CO2.
Pay attention where you place your planted tank. If you have some direct light in the house, other than aquarium light, pointed on aquarium at time when aquarium light is turned off - you will get algae. |

60 Gal. Planted tank with pressurized CO2 |
| Quote: |
You don't know what you don't know. |
| About Yourself: |
I got to planted tank hobby two years ago. I started out with planted tank without pressurized CO2 and I had too much trouble to keep the plants alive. Algae out break was a nightmare. After I installed the CO2 system, thing has improved significantly. The CO2 system also keeps the algae problem under control. |
| Advice: |
Keep trying and pressurized CO2 makes all the different. |
| Fish Kept: |
1 angel, 3 SAE, black neon, 1 Ghost catfish, 1 golden ram. |

This is my first heavily planted tank...needs a trim. Sorry about the low res, 75G is too blasted wide for close detail. Yes, there are fish (grin), but blurred with movement. For more pics, stop by my website. |

2yrs in the making! |
| About Yourself: |
I've enjoyed freshwater aquariums since a very young age (2yrs old). When I was 3, I fed our family tank a bag of chocolate chips because I thought they were hungy. =) I've learned a few things since then, and find that after doing online research on aquarium topics.... that there are some really brilliant minds on this stuff! I have been in IT for the last 8yrs, and really enjoy getting away from things when working on my aquarium (It's stress free!). I now find the maintenance quite relaxing. |
| Advice: |
Do your water changes & don't over feed the fish!!!
Change out filter pad regularly, and add liquid fertilizer on a regular basis.
Take your time, and know what you are buying before adding new fish to the tank.
Boil driftwood to kill any bacteria or parasites, etc.. and let cool before adding to tank. It will also help remove tannins (brown color, particles, etc..) that leach into the water, although the tannins are prefered in some cases to soften the water.
Buy filter media from local fish store as bulk "Pond Filter Media" and cut to size for your sump filter --- saves a lot of money.
We reinforced the floor from the basement with 3 addtional floor joists (2x8x12) so there are 5 2x8x12's supporting the tank, and a support post directly under the tank. (that's a lot of weight!!) |
| Fish Kept: |
Tiger Bards, albino tiger barbs, a few south americans - nicaguense, firemouth, a bunch convicts, siamese & chinese algae eaters. Keep areas to hide in back, keep plants to the front. Fish seem to do fine with the live plants (don't dig, or eat excessively). |
