Planted Aquarium - /r/plantedtank's Weekly Random Acts of Kindness!

/r/plantedtank's Weekly Random Acts of Kindness!

Posted: 17 May 2019 03:04 PM PDT

The Purpose:

We all perform tank maintenance. Sometimes, perfectly good plants end up in the trash because they simply outgrow their limited environment. Why not share these plants with another hobbyist? This monthly thread offers a space where buyers and traders can congregate, promote biodiversity, and make the world better.

Offering other aquarium-related items for sale or trade is also acceptable, but keep in mind this is a "Random Acts of Kindness" thread. All equipment and plant-life should be offered in either trade or for as cheap as is possible.

If you'd like to offer your homemade ferts, foods, or other equipment for retail sale, please visit the plantedtank.net's forums. Posting retail items for sale is not appropriate in this thread and those comments will be removed with a polite warning.

The Rules:

1. If you would like to post a "WTB" (want to buy) or ISO (in search of), you must also offer items for RAOK or trade in the same comment. "WTB/ISO" posts that do not offer anything in return will be removed to keep this thread in line with its intended purpose.

  1. Sellers: prices are encouraged to be as low as possible. These are plants you were willing to throw out, after all. Making a profit is not what this thread is about, and posts selling items will be removed. For clarification, "selling" is defined as asking for monetary compensation above and beyond the cost of shipping and packaging.

  2. Buyers: you will be responsible in covering the cost of shipping, at least. If a buyer is happy with the sale, please consider offering the seller more for their time spent packing and shipping.

  3. Please use a third-party payment organization like Paypal to conduct transactions if it can't be done in person. This ensures the security of the buyer.

  4. Always be wary of online scams. /r/PlantedTank, the mods, and Reddit hold no responsibility for your private transactions. You are liable. By participating in this thread, you agree to this.

  5. The transaction details should be conducted via PM as reasonably as possible. DO NOT POST ANY PERSONAL INFO. Posting even your own personal info will result in a warning, and then a ban.

  6. Sellers are welcome to use creativity and fun when offering their stuff. Pick a number, favourite colour, most unusual story, etc.

  7. Don't forget about /r/AquaSwap! Feel free to cross post between their sub and ours to maximize your advertising power.

Buyer/Seller Feedback:

Did you have a remarkable experience with a seller or a buyer? Please message the mods and let us know, whether your feedback be good or bad.

Shipping Instructions:

  • Please review this thread for some insight on how to properly ship plants.

First “big” tank (75g)

Posted: 17 May 2019 10:48 AM PDT

Came on board as the social media manager for a local fish store this week - This is the first display tank I set up for them to create content with. What do y'all think?

Posted: 17 May 2019 09:51 AM PDT

So it may not look like much but after several failed planted tanks, I think I finally have success!

Added over a dozen new plants, and twenty pounds of sand to create more depth. Can you tell? :)

Can anyone suggest what is causing these brown spots (turning into brown areas) are on my java fern? No ferts, no co2 & tank nearly finished cycling

Luffy grass dying in patches

Posted: 17 May 2019 07:15 PM PDT

I'm starting my first planted tank and the luffy grass seeds I got worked well, but they are starting to die in patches. They will turn dark green then start to decay quickly leaving a bare patch. New plants are starting to sprout in the oldest patches, so I'm not sure if this is their natural life cycle or those were seeds that just didn't sprout until now. http://imgur.com/gallery/XC7YZnG

Posted: 17 May 2019 05:27 PM PDT

Plant growing crooked?

Posted: 17 May 2019 07:12 PM PDT

I have some ludwigia palustris but the stems are growing curved instead of straight up. Any idea why this is? All other stem plants grow straight up

Substrate and starter plants

Posted: 17 May 2019 06:25 PM PDT

I have read tons of guides, listened to YouTube videos and podcasts, and have no idea still where to start. So a couple questions that would be amazing. But to start here's what I do have: a 10 gallon tank, either a betta or a guppy tank haven't decided, and some sort of bottom feeder (would love shrimp). So my questions are; •What substrate would you recommend? Just a normal gravel or some sort of soil or a mix? I've never kept a planted tank so something complex is not ideal •What kind of plants would go well with above substrate? •What all is needed besides just the plant and a good substrate to get the planted tank going? Thank you so much in advance!
