Yeah its pretty heavily planted watch this video its the second tank shown in the video...its got a good amount of plants in it [youtube]<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CzkMZ64VDVc&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0...

Do you think the problem could be my lighting? I have very strong lighting on the tank maybe thats the cause of the brush algae... its 130watts with both lights on but i only turn on one now so thats 65 watts

I have 5 Dwarf Puffers and I havent checked the water parameters lately...ill check them tommorow when i'm at home but from when i was checking it alot i had 0ppm on Ammonia and Nitrite and very low Nitrate

How do you use a UV sterilizer? What does it do exactly? And does it kill ALL algae?

but will bristlenoses eat brush algae? cause i have a bunch of it and its hard to get off the glass

Brown or green algae? I have brush algae growing on the glass, some of the plants, and my rocks on the bottom Are you overfeeding/over stocking? No, I only feed my fish and shrimp every other day and they consume whatever I put in there What is your waterchange regimen? I do a 50% water change ever...

How big do bristlenoses get? And could it work in a 29 Gallon tank?

Hi, I have a question...i wanna get a clown pleco for my dwarf puffer tank to help out with algae...would this be ok for the pleco? My dwarf puffers dont seem to mind other tankmates...I have 4 ottos in the tank as well as ghost shrimp and the puffers completely ignore them

I know this is probably a obvious question and I'm pretty sure you can't mix these two species but has anyone had luck with it? I have 5 Dwarf Puffers living in a 28 Gallon bowfront tank with Ghost Shrimp, Chameleon Shrimp, and 4 Ottos The Dwarfs leave the shrimp and ottos alone but they will chase ...

haha well its been longer then than a couple of weeks lol ive lost track of time i apologize but yeah i need something that is going to clean my algae because its all over my glass and my plants : (

it was awhile back...probably a couple of weeks after i got them which was about a month ago...the other 4 are very healthy

lol im just worried the puffers will pick on them...they're always chasing each other around even though the tank is pretty heavily planted there is still alot of open places i just want the ottos to be safe haha i have ghost shrimp and the puffers ignore them completely so i guess thats good

Ok so I have 4 dwarf puffers right now in my 28 gallon tank (2 of them died : ( ) but theres quite a bit of algae in the tank so i wanted to get some ottos...is that a bad idea? can they co exist with each other?

what about earthworms?

where can you find live blackworms?
