The veins are turning brown on my aquatic Amazonian sword plant’s leaves, making them crinkle. However, the leaves are a lovely shade of green and seem more or less healthy. Is there not enough light? Because I only have a normal output fluorescent bulb.

I use root tabs for iron supplement and fertilizer. The roots are healthy, and the leaves seem to have plenty of chlorophyll. The CO2 is sufficient. My tank isn’t overcrowded (3 swordtail fish and 2 angel fish) nor is anything else unhealthy. No snails.

My tap water has medium-high pH, a good buffer (high alkalinity–not related to pH), and high hardness. I mix this 50/50 with reverse-osmosis water, which has any dissolved materials filtered out.

Everyone says you need to use either de-ionized or reverse osmosis water for saltwater aquariums. Is it really necessary for a 30 gallon aquarium?

I just installed a GE Reverse Osmosis water filter under my kitchen sink. There is pressure and filtered water coming from the spout but the air hole keeps making bubbling noises and water continues to pour down the drain line. The tank is filling but its been 4 hours and still bubble noises. What is wrong and does it take this long?

I set up a 10 gallon tank a few weeks ago and found out that the ammonia levels are to high they are a 8.0 ppm. About a week ago I went to a well known fish store and got some reverse osmosis water(which has no nutrients or anything in it), I completely drained my tank and put this water in instead. I also put some root tabs in so that my plants won’t die in the process. The ph level is around a 7 temp is about 82-86 f. I have NO fish in the tank why is this happening?
As of now my plants are still alive, the only thing that I added was a bacteria supplement to jump start my tank.

I used Cycle and two days later added seven Zebra Danios and one Julii Corydora. We are planning on waiting the full six [...]
