    When to use NPK?

    When would be a good time to start using macro nutrients? I currently have about 3watts per gallon of t-5 lighting. I use flourish excel, ferro-vit, micro nutrients and potassium. In the past, I have relied on the fish to provide the N and P. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Apistos and Rainbows

    I have a 30 gal panted planted aquarium with compact lighting and Co2. Right now, I have around 7 rainbows, 3 gold barbs, a gold algae eater and a siemenus in there. How would a pair of triple red cacatoides do in there? Would they likely spawn? and could they protect the eggs until I...

    Female Cac Eating Eggs?

    I purchased an orange/white female Cac last week and put her in a breeding tank with a triple red male. Right away they started the courting process and she laid about 100 eggs about 36 hours ago. At first she appeared to be cleaning her eggs but now, there appears to be only about 25 eggs left...
