I also found this store on accident after talking to the gentleman in the video on the dealers floor. He told me to take a chance and that they were near by so I did. Am I glad I did, they had blue eyed congo tetras that I was looking for for literal years, bought all six that day. I am so glad I went that day, I have not seen those tetras since, and I doubt I will for many years.

Glad to see you developing a houseplant-ed tank! Ficus species like fiddle leaf fig, ginseng ficus, even rubber tree could work. Also waxmyrtle which should be growing wild in your area, taller reed plants like equisetum, giant hairgrass or other Elocharis species that may also be growing wild. Good luck!

I think some liriope would look cool. I've had it in straight water in a tank just didn't have enough light for it but it stayed well/green for a long time then I just removed it. It will also get flowers as I'm sure Lady LRB knows.

Man I can go a long time without a water change in my established tanks, month or two easy with no water changes. But when do. My fish really love it. And they usually start breeding immediately. Not all, but some do. I’ve killed fish by over feeding without water changes. And almost killed fish with a water change with water I had stored and probably totally deoxygenated. Mostly top offs work just fine

I’m down here in Vero beach. I have multiple mangroves already rooted in outdoor ponds, tubs and tanks if you plan to head south for any reason. Or I can send you unrooted pods by mail. Tis the season for them. Dm me if you’re interested. This is turning out to be a cool looking setup. I look forward to the updates.

An actual tree that loves wet roots is the alder tree. It grows next to creeks and rivers and flood zones. The cones are used in tanks a lot for tannins and shrimp. You could try growing it from seed and if it gets too big you could plant it on your property. Free botanicals

@@LRBaquatics Hello Lucas, for tanks with a lid on top, do the fish need an oxygen filter, considering that it is completely covered? I ask because I want to buy an aquarium and I don't know which is the best choice, the one with a lid or without a lid, what about you? what do you think? Thank you for your kindness and I wish you all the best.
@LRBaquatics3 күн бұрын
@ yes if your going to use a tight closed lid you should use airline. You can use or make a lid out of mesh then you wouldn’t need the airline since it would let air flow.

On the off chance you want a full spectrum led. I LOVE the hygger! I have it on my 125 and it has full 10k lumens. So the hight is not a problem. They are easily programmable and have an optional night (blue moon) light.

10k works good for you? I dabbled with 10k years ago but from what I recall no t as potent for plants as a 6500k. What the name of the light? I’ll check it out
