FW is still pretty easy :). Don't forget to cycle the tank. Frequent partial water changes are a good idea. Nitrates will build up with no plants or...
It seems as though adding mud that leaches minerals is the opposite of what we try to achieve with RO/DI? Doesn't clay contain a large amount of Iron...
Here is a Guide to Hitchhikers. Hard to tell from a pic and I'm no expert, but it looks like a Xanthid crab.
Marine Enterprises International ph test kit and Sera Mag test kit.
This was bugging me so I got another test kit. This kit says 8.0 and is much easier to read. I also got a mag test kit and the mag level is 1200.

I didn't think it would either. After looking at the numbers I'm more confused. It could just be a misreading. I have a hard time telling the color...
Thank you!
What do you have for a substrate in your 75?
Here's my 40 Breeder :): [IMG]
Beautiful tank shots 2in10! I got burned out from the 90 I had at the time ;D: [IMG]
I found a pic of a ten gallon planted tank I had a few years ago. The tank is no longer running. I could never keep planted tanks looking nice, too...
