[exxcel19]

hey i heard you say your having trouble keeping duckweed/plants from going in your filter.i learned a little trick with this.get a WHITE loofah.cut a piece big enough for the filter intake and use a rubber band to keep it on/works wonders for me.also amazing looking tanks.do you use any liquid ferts?

[stevenxbox360playsta]

HOW DO U GET THOSE SMALL SNAILS

[SlowChromeHand]

do you gravel vac near your plants?

[coolpets100]

What size tanks are they?

[The0utdoorsMan4Life]

Any ideas for your reef tank? I think you should either do some BA cichlids or maybe do like a sand and dirt clown loach and angel/discus tank. Nice tanks though-

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@The0utdoorsMan4Life No clue on the upper tank as far as plants...or fish.... Gonna be planted first then make a plan on the fish

[chowwowable]

@Dustinsfishtanks What are some good plants for a 10 gallon tank?

[h2opolo131]

i need to get my hands on some lugwigia. idk if thats how you spell it but its so sick

[MriBackup]

Your right, Planted tanks can self sustain themselves

[nickthemetalhed]

hi, just a quick question, i the huge central plant in your rainbow and clown loach tank a sword?

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@nickthemetalhed Thats an amazon sword ....might replace it with ludwigia though

[DiscusKev]

Discus fish are awesome =) I very much like your collection of fish tanks, are the running cost relatively high?

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@DiscusKev I try not to look, I sell plants which helps off set it...i never paid attention to the electric bill prior to moving the3 4 75s home...so not sure

[maplestar67]

what did you feed your rainbowfish fry when they were just born?

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@maplestar67 they ate off of the plants mainly...I fed crumpled up flakes...

[DaughtersBoi]

Hey man, I have two questions.

I just started my tank up again (been sitting around after I moved) and as of now, have all artificial plants. What do you recommend for starters? Is the small pebble-like gravel you buy at any pet store decent for plant growth? Should I add anything?

[JouninSpriggan]

@boblollol2 Check out Dustin's favorite vids. It will answer almost all your questions on what or how you should do something.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@boblollol2 I wouldnt' try adding plants unless you have a method of feeding them. ALA dirt under that gravel...once thats done, try dwarf sag or jungle val.....many videos about this....

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

you know.......why not get a discus or two in that 220 upstairs with the angel

[the4blueturtles]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr discus prefer to be in a group of 5+ and he said he couldn't be bothered to do all the waterchanges and crap

[Dustinsfishtanks]

@samuelwaynefoleyjr Lazy, discus are sensitive....plus they like it hot and there is no heater on there...

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

@Dustinsfishtanks we have a koi angel up in my local fish store, and its a koi, its got a gold head, and its white with like dalmatian spots its the best angel i've ever seen

[samuelwaynefoleyjr]

i have the same problem with duckweed, dude lets see an update on that 220 i think it was with the angel in it

[iliketeas]
