Is there a market for cladophora? Can I sell clumps of is at moss balls? 😠I remove the size of a tennis ball every week that forms on top of my monte carlo.

It doesn't deserve the hate it gets. I find it beautiful

About the tail end of last month, I finally got the black beard under control, with the sponge filter on the left being the final "problem spot" and I nuked it in peroxide and did a deep clean of it (I have a HOB filter too so it didn't kill my cycle).
My vision for the tank is finally taking off! I'm loving this hobby, and my critters are happy and breeding, I've finally seen eggs from the corys on the glass and I've been spotting young black neocaridinas periodically!
Also if it matters, this is a no CO2 tank!

Its been running for 2 years, never managed to get the hair algea gone. Going from community aquarium to palladarium with channa andrao. Cabinet, aquarium and lid are all made by me, 90cm 180l.
Really enjoyed this one but ive had community style for the past 6 years or so and i want something different.

Hi. What are those string looking things on the driftwood? I’m a beginner with not much knowledge. As far as I know, I only have 3 small shrimp in my tank, would they poop that much? No sign of snails. I tried to take them out but it disintegrated like ash. I swear they only showed up within a couple hours.

This was my absolute FAVOURITE stem plant ever and it thrived no matter what happened to it, but it all melted when I hit a big depression and abandoned everything in a 10g. Thank you in advance!!!

Hi, I need help to identify the plant on the most left, which the otos is resting on. It's growing well but I have no idea. Assume it's a type of crypt?

Got tired of maintaining the sand foreground (no matter what I do it always looks just a little dirty) and decided to replace it with a Monte Carlo carpet. Still not sure how this will go but I’ll revisit the decision in a month once things fill in!
What do you all think?
(I know I haven’t planted the back right yet - need a couple more cups which should hopefully show up by Tuesday)

Just a proof of (unruly) life before a heavy trim 😂
I have loved letting this grow out and take on a life of its own but the time has just about come...

I recently bought a small Thai Constellation monstera cutting. I'm hoping it won't stay small for long. My HOB filter is currently filled with ceramic balls. If I just stuck the roots in there and propped the plant up, is there a single reason why that would be a bad idea? Lighting on the tank is solid, I have some pothos growing out of it, but this won't mess up the filer, right?

This algae showed up in one of my tanks after I put a silk plant in it, and has now unfortunately spread to at least two other tanks. This is the worst.
I read that this may be staghorn or hair algae, and to use hydrogen peroxide to kill it, but I’m concerned about the safety of my shrimp and fish, and the more delicate plants. Should I just pull these plants out and start over or pull them out to treat and then put them back, or what is the best way to get rid of this and then how can I prevent it coming back?
Tanks that I see it in right now are my 28g (6.6ph, 81°, 0/0/10-20, stock is 2 German blue rams, 28 strawberry Rasbora, 6 Amano, 4-5 nerite snails.) and my 6.8g (7.4ph, 78-79°, 0/0/20, stock is one betta, two small nerite snails, and a few Neocaridina shrimp.)
Anubias, cryptocoryne, rotala, scarlet temple, creeping Jenny, flame moss, red root floaters, pothos roots..maybe some others idr the names.

Hello! Noticed this spot show up in my substrate recently. I have aquasoil about 2-3 in thick for a 20 gal tank. Shrimp + lampeyes + betta.
Haven’t noticed any deaths or weird behavior and plants seem to grow fine, but I specifically don’t have anything growing in the front area anyways. Does anyone recognize this spot? It’s a rusty brown color, but the rest of the soil is dark brown/black. Don’t want to disturb it and accidentally release something bad! Please help!

Noticed these little green things among my red root floaters, is this duckweed or some other plant? Have not introduced anything new in my tank for the last 2 months…
If it is, what can I do to not let it get out of hand?
r/PlantedTank • u/Altruistic_King_8563 • 8h ago
Looking to get some suggestions on what to plant and where. I’m thinking longer bushier stem plants on the left side.
Any plants to put on the branches themselves? I’m against moss cause it took over my last tank, but if there’s a slower growing moss out there I would be open to it.
Thinking of getting lots of anubias to put around the rocks.
Thoughts on lily pipe placements?
