|  I do not think that is a pond snail emmanuel. It doesn't look like one to me anyways.

| I was doing a bit of research on the types of shrimp i want to get for my shrimp only tank... and I came across ramshorn (?) snails. Looks like it, somewhat. My 15 gallon has so much algae on the front glass, and it looks like the otos and the only snail that has survived my betta only like to eat algae off of the plants, driftwood, and back glass... I was thinking of getting a couple of snails to help clean it off some... or should I just scrape it off and not add anything else? |

I normally run both lamps for about 2 hours, then switch one off and just use 40w for the remainder of the time. The cool thing about this fixture is the lunar light, which was a prime selling point for me. I could have just gone with the regular 20" Satellite for half the price (would still need to replace the bulb, though), but I wanted more than 2.5 wpg. Trust me, this fixture on your tank will be bright when both lamps are on.

| OK dang, someone is obviously in my head, b/c this is almost exactly how I wanted to rescape my 15! tmmycat Profile - Your Tanks I've got a second possibility in my head in case i can't find any driftwood that looks very tree-like. *EDIT- OK, I see Ishar has already seen this tank in the past.... maybe I somehow telepathically stole the idea from him? lol.

| Updates concerning my 15 gallon: Will be taking out all the water sprite. Will probably add more red scarlet (forgot scientific name, but i can recognize it if i see it, lol). Will be taking out 'light house' Probably taking out Vals. spreading out aponogetons across back, along with a couple more from my 10 gallon. trying to go for the hairgrass carpet. keeping it simple as far as plants go. Updates concerning 10 gallon: bad outbreak of BBA. going to try to get rid of it, then probably rescaping entirely, including substrate, then converting to shrimp only tank. that is all for now.  |

| the snail is a ramshorn snail and the plants that kinda look likes swords are hostas and are not aquatic. by red scarlet you might mean waffle plant or purple crinkle or something like that, those are also not aquatic |

| I completely rescaped my 15 gallon while cleaning my room this weekend (still lots of cleaning to go, lol  ). I want to let the tank fill in a bit (and let the last of the bba die off from the hairgrass I got from the 10 gallon).I'll probably be moving the guys from the 10 gallon into the 15 gallon, but I'll be leaving the 10gl open just in case the bettas don't get along... or is the female dg decides she doesn't like the male betta. I got a 20 gl that I'll probably use as a shrimp only tank, and the 10 gl who knows right now.... |

| So I've finally decided my scaping plans for the 10 gl. I'm going to move all the Alternanthera reineckii into the 15 gallon, to give it a bushier look. The driftwood with anubias and moss on it I'll be putting into the 20 gallon. The aponogeton bulbs I may put into the 15 gallon as well along with the val. The hairgrass I'll probably put in the 15 also, although I think I have more than will fit into the 15 gallon. I'm going to take out the gravel, and replace it with the eco-complete from my two 5 gallons. I'm going to give hc a shot as a foreground plant. I'm replacing the stock lighting, also giving this one an open-top with clip-on flourescent lights - up to 5 wpg (I'll probably use some lower watt bulbs to make it 4 wpg, depending on whether i get an algae outbreak.). I'm probably going to try growing the hc emersed. The driftwood I currently have in one of my 5 gl that looks almost tree like, I'll be moving into the 10. And that's it, that simple. Well, maybe adding a piece of red 'lava rock.' I'll draw a plan later.  |
