Re: Planning a warm water pond.

I heard of someone using a "marsh" area for filtration, where they grow emersed plants (HC, staurogyne, MM) and have the water run through there. Thus the plants take up all the extra nutrients, I have daphina to help with green water, and floating plants (most likely red root floater, I like that ...

Planning a warm water pond.

Re: Can I breed pl*cos in a 29g?

The heater is for a 55g, if I have it on low it over heats the tank. If I bury it, it stays coolish (80*f). I have another heater but it is HOB, and I dont want to try and get it too cold or to hot. I guess if they go in a spare 10g for a day to get a heater change out that should be fine. Thanks!

Can I breed pl*cos in a 29g?

Hey, I have a 29g tank with 6 pl*cos in the tank (nothing else other than some MTS) and I was wondering if this tank would be suitable for breeding, I may be able to upgrade to a 30g tank. The pl*cos are barely 2"
