Aquatic Delight: September 2009
http://darksomehandsome.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 5, 2009. I think it's official, I'm done with forums. A while back I had the misfortune to sign up in a fish forum only to find myself. Reprimanded for my techniques even after my own research reaffirmed me that I had done nothing wrong. I read so much and try to get my fill on everything I can find and then deduce on what I should do next, in a rare case will I come across something that stumps me and it's at this point that I start posting. Is it the knowledge that I just gained...

Aquatic Delight: August 2009
http://darksomehandsome.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. Still working on it. Nothing frustrates me more than having my 10 gallon tank in a suspended state. And at the same time feeling a little helpless. It seems like I'm always working on improving something but then I. Don't like it and put it off altogether. About a week ago I increased the CO2 for this tank and the plants started growing exponentially, I got more growth in a week than the last four weeks combined. To the left has grown into a nice little bush. Which I believe is...

Aquatic Delight: July 2009
http://darksomehandsome.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 21, 2009. My tanks are doing great I couldn't be happier. From the very start I've had little problems growing plants, but now I seem to be getting better. My ten gallon, I thought, would be unable to provide the necessary environment for most plants, it has two 14 watt AquaGlo. CO2 With these in mind I couldn't help but feel a bit pessimistic. About a month ago I added some Rotala. It didn't grow or do anything at all so I took it out. I also added some Hygrophila. Tank Not too sure what t...

Aquatic Delight: Oh No!
http://darksomehandsome.blogspot.com/2009/11/oh-no.html
Saturday, November 21, 2009. I wish I had a pictorial update, but that will have to wait until I get new batteries for my camera. The potassium deficiency has finally been taken care of, my plants' leaves no longer die! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Aquatic Delight: New stock at Petco
http://darksomehandsome.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-stock-at-petco.html
Wednesday, August 12, 2009. New stock at Petco. Last night I went to my local Petco after not going there for several months. I was expecting the same old fish but to my surprise that wasn't the case. They had some rarities that you usually don't see in specialty shops, seasonal shipment perhaps? They had rams, three varieties! Gold rams, German Blues, and Bolivians! Impressive although I do hope it gets better with time. As for my tanks, nothing too exciting happening. I did find some wild Hydrocoty...

Aquatic Delight: June 2009
http://darksomehandsome.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 19, 2009. I cleaned up my hexagon tank just a bit. The bulb was changed from an incandescent to a compact fluorescent spiral. It's warm white 2700K, the plants love it, I see them pearling after a few hours into the photoperiod. I got rid of the floating anacharis and put it in my fancy guppy breeding tank. I also trimmed the hygrophila difformis since it's starting to put out leaves in the submersed form, I originally got it with emersed foliage. The guppies get to have more space to swim in.

Aquatic Delight: October 2009
http://darksomehandsome.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 27, 2009. An Update: At Last. Since I enjoy DIY projects I decided to. Convert the non-working strip light from a fluorescent pin-base to a CFL screw-in. I'm not an electrician but it was easier than I thought. Now I have two 20 watt spiral CFLs plus a 14 watt fluorescent, giving me a total of 5.4WPG! I also was dealing with a potassium deficiency, I got some KCl from the supermarket which I'm certain will patch up this problem. To my baby turtle. Anyway, I leave you with the results.
