Your Fish Tank Guru

Hello,

I went to The New York Aquarium in Brooklyn, NY and my friends and I where talking about our fish tanks. When I was there it actually inspired me on how to do up my next fish tanks. One thing we have notice and this is actually true in a lot of life’s avenues is your should apply the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid). They had very lovely tanks that seemed to be great to look at that was less then 10 Gallons, and for saltwater tanks they had 45 Gallons that looked great.

Hello,

Well to keep your tank looking pretty and vibrant in color not only should you care for the water and the fish you should take care of the plants to. Keeping healthy plants could also make taking care of the water a lot easier to. As well as keeping an over all healthy tank and to do so I recommend the Freshwater Labs PLANT LAB IRON CO2 TEST KIT. CO2 is very vital for plants as most people know.

If the Freshwater Labs PLANT LAB IRON CO2 TEST KIT. Reads that your CO2 is low I would recommend getting CO2 Fizz Tabs by JUNGLE LABORATORIES.

I know I do not talk about them much but I believe they make the fish tank just as pretty are aquatic plants and hands down real aquatic plants have 3 times the benefits of fake plastic aquatic plants.

I have 2 bunches of Amazon Swords in my 10 gallon fish tank and an Anubias nana in my 2 gallon fish tank. In which I have to trim once every 2 weeks since or when I change the water, since it gets a little big.

Potted Amazon Sword () This is a background plant. Aquatic plants not only add beauty but also improve the water quality and add color to your aquarium. These plants absorb carbon dioxide and nitrates, and provide shelter and security for fish. The Amazon Sword can grow either fully or partially submerged in water. This plant does best when kept in groups as the background in larger tanks. Propagation occurs by plantlets and grows at a rate of 2-3 leaves per month.

Anubias nana - Potted () This is a foreground or mid-ground plant. Aquatic plants not only add beauty but also improve the water quality and add color to your aquarium. These plants absorb carbon dioxide and nitrates, and provide shelter and security for fish. Anubias Nana has short dark green leaves and is a very slow growing, hardy swamp plant. This plant prefers to grow above or on the substrate which makes it great for covering rocks or driftwood. Propagation occurs by rhizome division.
