Oh ya', Aznufo, I think your comment regarding knowledge of water chemistry is incorrect. I for one am unable to determine what Angel ions are and I admire those who can...

I'm confused though...are you breeding dogs now too ?

actualy plants do take a heck of a lot out of the water.. I for one cannot grow algae in my tank and I over feed like a mad man, and add fertalizer like it is going out of style in my fresh water tank. but saying this you do have to go with the right kinda of plants. faster growing stem plants are the best. I suppose if you had a take full of crypts and java fern you might get some algae. If done right, which I did for a test when I set up this tank plants will adsorb enuf nutrents to add a wack of fish and never see a cycle. I did this with a 37 gal tank, put the water and plants in waited 2 days and added 10 lemmon tetra's 2 angel fish a dwarf groume *sp, and a couple others I can't remember. tested for amonia, nitrate and nitrite 3 times a day for 4 weeks and never got a reading whats so ever. so not that I recomend this method of fast stocking but if you are willing to watch it and spend the time and money on the right kinds of plants it can be very sucessfull.

Looked at the site, well done! I am not a computer expert, or fish expert, so I'm not going to pretend to be one. I didn't even build our site, my wife did. For a first attempt I think she did great as well. We are currently re-vamping ours, to be completed soon. But I am pretty aware of what kind of hours you have put into the venture, so I have to commend you. Best of luck!
