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

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

Posted: 14 Feb 2020 02:04 PM PST

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.

Added some gold tetras - finally managed to find a fish that can stand out a bit from the colored plants (didn't want to keep albino/neons/cardinals)

wtf is that thing?

wtf is that thing?

60g Planted tank, been up for about 6 weeks. Have ~20 neons, 5 platy's, ~12 ghost shrimp, a snail, and a rubbernose pleco.

Just noticed this thing today and it certainly doesn't look like part of the plant. Any identification and mitigation tips are appreciated.

Is it possible, and how to Create Self-Sustainimg Aquarium?

Posted: 14 Feb 2020 03:57 PM PST

Does anyone know or has tried, thought about or think it's possible to create a aquarium (tank size exempted) that you just need to feed it light? Meanwhile having plants and small amounts of fishes or invertebrates inside?

I was thinking of creating a filterless and heaterless aquarium that only needed light, and no food. I would be using whatever amount of plants needed and any gallon-tank size required to make an indoor aquarium where the fishes or invertebrates could survive and thrive through natural means. Is that possible? If not, what if I added a heater and a tons of filter then?
