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

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

Posted: 24 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.

LED lighting

Posted: 24 May 2019 06:59 PM PDT

Hello everyone! I am new to the planted tank community, and have what I hope is a relatively simple question. I apologize if this question has been asked somewhere else, but I haven't been able to find my exact variation of this question on this or any other forum.

In looking at LED lighting for medium lighting on a 50 gallon tank (48.5w x 12.7d x18.8h), I see the 24/7 cc come up frequently recommended, particularly as "good bang for the buck." My hesitation is that, on amazon, there are a relatively high number of reviews saying that the lights have poor longevity. Do you folks have any other recommendations for medium lighting that you would consider better quality (regardless of cost)? I'd rather spend more once, than have to replace the light in a year.

Secondarily, if I'm primarily upgrading my lighting to have more plant options (mostly stems), would you all think medium will be sufficient, or should I shoot for high lighting to broaden my options? I'm not really that interested in adding yet another component - CO2 - at this juncture, and in looking at the lighting guide on the sidebar, it seems high light basically requires CO2.

Thank you all so much for your help, and again I apologize if I missed a similar question elsewhere. Please feel free to simply provide the link if you know of a good answer given on another thread.

Amano and cherry shrimps compatibility.

Posted: 25 May 2019 01:40 AM PDT

Hi, I currently have a shrimp tank only amano shrimps and I am planning to purchase some cherry shrimps. I've seen so many different opinions online regarding amano eating cherries and amano living peacefully with cherries. Just want to know if it's fine for both of them together.
