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

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

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 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.

Disclaimer: Some plants are illegal in certain areas. It is up to the buyer to determine whether or not importing a specific species of plant is acceptable in their state or country. The moderators of this subreddit assume no responsibility in the importing or exporting of illegal plant life.

Planted tank Friday ��

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 09:43 AM PDT

I think these are called bacopa something but if you know what it is, what should I do to keep it alive and healthy? I got some before and their leaves kinda... disappeared? I don't know but they're not there anymore. I can only assume it's from bad care.

Please help me out with a few tank questions. Algae/substrate issues.

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 07:34 PM PDT

Currently have the Current Satellite Plus for my 55 gallon but am wondering if I should double up and purchase another one. I think it’s a 30 W, 2000 lumens. Currently have Jungle Val, Sword and Anubias. But at some point would like more demanding plants.

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 04:21 PM PDT

I left my Anubias to grow from 3 small leafs to this, the roots have buried deep inside the driftwood!

I've spent the last month cutting off a strange algae from my java fern leaves...

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 07:21 PM PDT

... only to find out today that it isn't algae, it is propagating new java fern. One of the plantlets managed to survive my destruction for long enough to sprout leaves, at which point I realized my mistake.

I thought I had discovered a new type of algae that burrows deep into plant leaves because I certainly could not pull it off.

How's your day going?

Looking for recommendations for plug and play CO2 system

Posted: 17 Apr 2020 02:47 PM PDT

Hello. I'm looking to add CO2 to an established planted tank and am hoping for some specific recommendations.

My goal is to grow a foreground carpet and add some red.

Some info...

Tank is 36 gallons, fully stocked community tank. Fairly heavily planted.

Existing light is Beamswork 3600, .5 W. Lights on 8 hours a day, night light phase otherwise.

External (large) filter, in-line heated at 78. An air stone runs constantly.

Been running 2 years, good growth from amazons and crypts. Many Java ferns, Anubia and misc.

Change 60% water every 7-10 days.

Water parameters unknown and I would not be looking to do much, if any, water testing.

I supplement with Flourish excel, iron, and flourish (3 separate liquids).

Algae is well controlled but is present. Small hairs will build up on larger amazon leaves that I trim.

I'm looking for a system (or set of components) that I can just pop on the tank like magic. I'd like minimal intrusion into the tank and whatever apparatus able to be kept in the cabinet.

I'd like to keep it around $100-150 if that's realistic.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
