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

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

Posted: 07 Jun 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.

My mostly Java fern betta tank. I finally feel confident in my (basic) plant keeping abilities!

Finally finished planting everything up tonight. Now the hardest part: Sit and wait for it all to grow in and hope nothing goes horribly sideways. ��

Disinfect or Replace Planted Tank Help!

Posted: 07 Jun 2019 11:26 PM PDT

After having all my Java fern get barnacle/warty all over and just stop growing, I removed all. That was over a year and half ago.

Despite having none in the tank for over a year, the same disease over came my mature Bolbitus, so reluctantly also removed.

​

In parallel, 6 months ago I noticed a wide spread rhizome rot hurting most of my anubias. Because so wide spread I did not remove but tried to nurse all back to health. I got some nursed back but this has been a losing battle.

​

An not being able to grow any of faster growing species through fear of disease has left the setup stale and unmotivating.

​

I am now at the point where I am thinking about a full removal and start again. The setup has been around for a while so it is not the end of the world, but I am concerned about either of the two diseases returning, if any remnants are kept.

​

So, if I throw away all the plants, soil and driftwood. Do a full clean of the filter. Use some mature media from another tank to seed the new build. Do I also need to be frightfully careful of putting the fish back in and re contaminating the tank?

​

Are there any special ways to clean in these circumstances?

Should I throw away the tank and filter too?

Any thoughts about not getting to the same position would be appreciated?
