aquarium

I just got a couple of new Neps today and they are low land species. I am looking for tips on the best way to setup a terrarium for them. I have a 18 inch cube exoterra tank that I am going to be using right now and my though was to place the plants on a platform above a couple inches of water...

A few months ago I won a free H. pulchella from Butch, and then a H. neblineae from HeliGoddess, and also got a ton of free live sphagnum from GrowinOld. I wanted to say a huge thanks to everybody for helping me out, and wanted to put up some photos of my simple setup because some of my plants...

My brother gave me his large aquarium (18" H X 36" W X 12" D) and I hope to turn it into a terrarium. The problem is that the glass is stained inside and I can't seem to clean it. It was covered in that crust you get when you leave an aquarium un-tended and just let all the water evaporate out...

hi everyone, my terrarium has two regular aquarium flourescent fixtures and i wired in a screw in socket for a compact flourescent. but, i'm still not happy with the light output i dont think the cheap flourescent aquarium lights that you get at walmart put out enough lumens and think they...

Hi, Some time ago I purchased this aquarium kit at a garage sale, and have since decided I don't want to use it, and I thought one of you might. It is not hardcore hobbyist gear, and is made of plexi, but hey, it has a built in light, a filter thingie, a pump, and it all works. Oh, and by the...

I just did some much needed trimming in my 6 gallon killifish aquarium and now have more Java fern divisions than I know what to do with. I still have to thin out the 3 gallon, too... I'm pretty sure this can be used in moist terrariums as well. Shipping is on me. PM me if you're interested.

Actually, I'm trying to catch bugs. Recently I was at a function up in the local hills, and there were back swimmers in the pool. I read up on them, noted that they can give a pretty bad bite, and proceeded to catch as many as I could. They were much fun, and very interesting to watch in the...

I was inspired by Av's thread about his heli set up, particularly the self watering system. So this weekend I started thinking about how to incorporate it into a glass terrarium. So this is a spare 10g aquarium I had laying around. I was a little worried about cutting holes in the glass for...

These photos were taken earlier this summer but they somehow got lost on my computer. I found them again so here they are. It had been several years since I had visited the TN aquarium, so I was in the area one day and decided to visit. There was a new building that was in the process of being...

would it be possible to use high power LED (light emitting diodes) as a plant lights? The kind i am reffering to are the ones commonly used for DIY reef aquarium lighting. they are sold from www.reefledlights.com. would they be to bright and burn the plants? Also, what colors would be the...

Hey everyone, so our first project in Zoology is to design, make, and upkeep a randomly assigned aquarium biome. Our group was assigned "fish only with live rock", and until a few minutes ago I had no idea what that even was. I've been doing some research, but have no experience whatsoever in...

Back at the BACPS show and sale I remember seeing snowball shrimp suggested for helping keep algae off of utricularia roots when keeping utrics in the Geoff Wong-style display or elgecko pots. It got me to thinking: could I have a sustained population of neocaridina with U. gibba or would the...

Per my previous thread about upgrading my plant rack, I thought I would go over some of my changes. Old Setup Everybody out! Even Severus wanted to help! First update was per Av8tor1/Butch's suggestion. I could not afford new reflectors for my lights, but, I could afford a roll of...
