It takes some time to learn latin names. I'm learning by reading around (books, magazines, the web).
Pictorial galleries help a lot yet I haven't seen one that has all of the plants available.

Exactly what are the specs of your lamps? It comes to mind that maybe the color temperature is playing you a trick...
Regarding the "brown" I have no idea.

From the lamp specs I infer you're using PL tubes. These lamps require somewhat frequent replacement when compared to linear fluorescent lamps (like T5HE normal output or T5HO).

I do use UV-C. At first I used it non-stop in overcrowded tanks (I don't do that anymore). I read as much info as I could find. Now I only use them temporarily as needed.
I learned that the...
Please post the cyanobacteria microscope pics. I would love to see them.
Erythromycin works pretty well for ciano-bacteria control, at least in the tanks I've tried it. I wonder if too much CO2 (I...

The person who sold it to me identified it as Rotala sp 'Bangladesh" some hours after I post this here.
I lost track while planting several species in this tank last Friday.
I cut it soon after...
Who am I? I grow pretty fast, my leaves go in odd numbers (9, 11, 13) groups, neatly spaced.

I had 14 ADA New Amazonia 9l bags shipped from California to Miami. Each cost me placed in Miami close to 38usd (I got them in the summer 2011 before last increase in price). Then I was lucky enough...
I think I'll shoot myself if that was for real.

I have a 7months old female Siamese Cat that ocassionally drinks from my shrimp nano tanks. Not a big deal for me. You may consider going with inverts instead of fish and keep both cat and nano...
I haven't had any problems with Clippard solenoids, be it the classic one or the Mouse series. I had two classic Clippard solenoids from Rex Grigg and both functioned pretty well, I just gave one to...
I'll love to own one yet... not cost effective unit at the moment for me.

U gibba is my worst nightmare; Riccia comes in a far second place.

Glad you're back home Csmith.
Thanks for sharing the pics but more so for your service, given the circumstances you endured and hopefully left behind.

Most planted tank enthusiast only use white light. The blue light is called Actinic and is mostly used in marine set ups as it provides the looks of depth in the ocean (Sea looks blue as this is the...
You seemed to had a bacterial bloom. That tells me it is possible opportunistic pathogens may have reached a peak in population and killed most of your fish.
On the other hand, I recently made a...
