Promote Weed and Plant growth…
Thursday, November 1st,For improved plant growth in your aquarium try Co2. (Carbon Dioxide) There are many systems available starting at under 20 pounds, and you can go to over 100 pounds. But for the smaller aquarium the TetraPlant Co2 Optimat system is very simple to install and use. Recomended.

as this will destroy any good bacteria in them.

Remember it is harmfull to overfeed so make sure all food is eaten or removed.
Lighting your aquarium…
Wednesday, August 1st,Replace any light tubes that are more than twelve months old.Even if they still work the light value they give of will be reduced.
