im still in the market. doesnt seem to common anymore

Thank you

I've seen a few questionable sellers and a few well respected sellers but they are not in the US. I'm hoping to find some for my project. Thanks

Thank you for all of the great info. This is the first planted tank I've done where I have taken my time to actually plan. It's a different experience for sure

The java moss looks pretty good like that

After doing so more research i found that star moss isn't technically a sub-aquatic plant and that would be an issue for me. I have roughly 20 pieces of driftwood though I seriously doubt i'd use that many. To add to the info, I think I've decided on killies as my main focus on the tank as...

Star moss looks like a new option. I can see why the willow moss gets its name. looks very muvh like a globe willow .. might be something to consider. ty

I have corkscrew willow driftwood that I'd like to set up as unique tree like features in my new planted 29. I know people glue, tie, etc many plants to driftwood and the like; so what plants would you recommend for if i'm going for a tree like look with these corkscrew branches? Sorry for the...

Thats definitely a showy plant, thank you for the suggestion. To add to the detail i just ordered a Nicrew 28-36" light for the tank after seeing one on a 36 bowfront. It looks great and seems to do well with planted tanks based on reviews. Does anyone have experience with one of these?

Thank you for the reply. I figured i was out of luck with the shrimp but i was holding out hope. Originally i figured I would be working with dwarf sag but the idea of dwarf anubias sounds interesting. Do you or anyone else for that matter have a specific variety I could research? Thanks again

I am currently restoring a 29 gallon thrift store find. It has a few scratches and will never be a show tank. With this in mind I want to do a low tech planted tank with potting soil and Flourite substrate. I may run a diy co2 setup but for this question let's assume there will be no co2...

It is something you need to determine yourself. The safety factor doesn't increase if you build it to the safety factor recommendation. That SF is from the industry. I made the calculator for people to use and test what they feel comfortable with before they build. There are several replies...

The calculator is built assuming zero bracing with a safety factor of 3.8. A lower safety factor has been shown with many commercially built aquariums. My best advice is to plug in known configurations suchs as a 55 gallon tank and see what safety factor they truly hold. Once you are...

1: It figures as if not braced. 2: The bottom panel is calculated as that depth. It has to be able to support the entire weight of the water and anything you put in the tank. Deflection is the true test of glass integrity. Glass can bend but it shouldn't, it is a very finite number.

let me know if you continue to have issues.

I apologize, this sheet isn't optimized for phones. I'll try to rebuild the tool in a tablet and phone friendly page.

There is no edit button. The area you may change are highlighted in yellow. See the side panel for detail.
