aquarium

Recently started up an aquarium again, finally. Here's my 20 long...currently cycling.

I haven't kept any CPs since I was a kid and I want to try some again. I will trade for your Pinguicula moranensis and/or Drosera capensis. I don't currently have any CPs to offer, however I would be glad to trade some Freshwater Acclimated Red Mangroves or Albino Bristlenose Plecos...

Hello all, I used to have a few CP but it's been a long time since I've kept any. I've recently had some fruit fly problems and the idea of CPs catching all the flies was all the excuse I needed to get back into keeping CPs! I still haven't got any yet, but I hope to change that soon! I've...

I know vft's can not be left out in freezing weather. My problem is I have no place to put them in the winter where they would get the temp and light needed to hibernate. My basement is heated at about 65 degrees even on the window sill. I did the refrigerator method last year and they survived...

I need to get my admission out of the way, I don't own any CP. I'm an aquarium guy at the moment. Since I've been looking into starting an emersed setup for some Southeast Asian aroids I'm in love with and thinking about trying my hand at lowland Nepenthes and orchids with them, my friend...

I was considering converting an aquarium to a terrarium for HL Neps. Less of a production setup and more of a naturalistic display. Since my considering was done mostly at night during our recent heat wave I realized that cooling would be necessary, as the temp of the room I would be able to...

Nothing special, just basic VFT and PP seeds, the common cheap sundews and possibly some live sphagnum. Trying to get my terrarium on at my new house. Been Building a nice seed bank and carnivorous plants are on my list. I got aquarium/ gardening supplies, stamps some small animal stuff...

I recently bought a couple of Thai micro crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri) to photograph and add to my aquarium. These critters were really tiny and my aquarium is chock full of wood and plants. I knew that once I added the crabs I would be lucky to ever see them again; so I took the time to take...

Hello! :) I have a couple of questions, I'm planning on making my aquarium into a highland nepenthes tank. It's kind of small, 50x33x27 cm, but I think that it's big enough for the moment since 8 pots fits inside and there's still allot of space between them. I know this tank isn't big enough...

bisnicks' Mini-bog container build So recently I decided I wanted to build my own mini-bog container garden. After scouring through forums, I finally decided on how I would be building it. My mini-bog isn't original at all, but a fusion between two of my favorite mini-bogs I have seen on this...

I mentioned o getting one of these several months ago and finally added the ac converter and tried it out. It produced a low of 40 degrees F and ambient temperature seems to have no effect and no icing up. The inside temp can be manipulated by opening the lid at varying degrees. I'm not sure if...

I took this off of my N. villosa string in case someone needs a temporary cold box for small highland neps and doesn't follow older strings. It is exactly what I needed until these plants get bigger, it is in my room with ac since the ambient temps effect it's performance. Yanked the shelves...

Hey there, I'm pretty new to these forums but when I saw this flower I had to post! So I was casually looking at one of my Drosera capensis that lives in an outdoor aquarium I have when I noticed, first of all, that there were small leaf-like protrusions opposite some of the florets. So of...

I know that VFTs can be propagated vegetatively through the use of flower stalks, but I don't know the specifics, and I have an interesting situation I'm looking at. I divided a small piece off of my VFT last summer, and now it has two flower stalks forming. To complicate things, it's in a...

I am getting one of these, the kind you see in grocery stores by the checkout with soda inside, and would like to know if 54 degree low is OK. I spent the winter moving my high elevation Neps into an aquarium in an unheated room and now with warmer temps want to do the same only have the damp...

I'm thinking about ordering some seeds, but I don't known what to get. I need lowlands that are easy to grow and don't get too large. A lot of the plants I've looked at would outgrow my 29g aquarium, which wouldn't be good for me since my house doesn't have the best growing conditions. I'm...

This is one of three specimens of these snails that I added to my aquarium this past weekend. These are such gorgeous animals! Cheers, EC www.macrocritters.wordpress.com [ 20130505rabbit snail edit copyright ernie cooper 2013_filtered by ernie.cooper, on Flickr

Just a quick question since I can find no specific mention on the subject. Is it acceptable to offer as trade related items to CPs but not necessarily the plants themselves? I come across good quality used aquarium lighting on a fairly regular basis, and sell it at low prices on several aquarium...

So I made a ~$40 controller I recently began learning to program the Arduino, a useful little microcontroller. The code is very easy to learn, and so in just a couple weeks I am already working on a few simple games. My plan is to create a controller for terrariums and greenhouses using the...

I've got a 4 foot long aquarium I'm setting up to grow plants and in the past have really struggled with finding a good air circulation solution. What are people using to slowly circulate air in their grow areas? -Xantius-
