what's in the QT?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hahaha I'm dying laughing.

DSDDP LFS: polys aren't initially dirty, but get dirty maybe from the other fish?

Other LFS: manager is awesome, knowledgeable, upstanding guy. one guy-who I have a negative bias towards- also works there. Can't jump to conclusions about my orders being messed up.

Although I am a strong believer in being kind to everyone...all I'm saying is I might or might not be opposed to you sticking someone's head over the piranha tank.

thank you for posting all that information. Most likely will continue to ask questions to you and magpie magpie about plants. I think I'm going to go with some vals, cyrpts, and/or anubias. I have an old aquarium hood light for a 10 gallon. I think that's maybe a T5 bulb? Would this be enough for those plants in a 55g or no? I also still need to build my Vancouver_98683 Vancouver_98683 style lazor light show with LEDS.

update: what's in the QT? there is nothing in the QT. The supplier sent glo danios instead of giant danios. Waiting to get those. By the time it's done my tank will probably be cycled before that. hahaha.

These DIY LED's are enough for my low light anubias barteri to thrive. Presumably the spectrum emitting from these RGB (red, green, blue) are sufficient, but haven't tried other plants. My heavy water movement and apollo sharks damaged all my dwarf water lettuce.

has anybody bought plants off of amazon before? might just do that instead of buying local. Same with the polys once I get my danios....

I've ordered thru amazon and it went fine. Didn't have the best ratings but plants came in fine. Try local as it's always the best way to support the area businesses.

okay will do! That was my original plan, but I was getting impatient. Will just calm down. You are absolutely right though, better to support local businesses. Especially ones with good management :)

Plus if you buy plants locally you can see the size, health, color, etc.

That's true. I would like to support the other LFS. Only downside is they get the plants from segrest. So i won't be able to pick them out. Still though, the manager has helped me out a lot. So I'll just be patient. Will see what they have available on the list.

I could also check with my friend and see if he's selling any of his plants. He's a plant pusher too. :)
