So we're coming up on a year since we've actively marketed our aquatic botanicals to the aquatic community, and we're starting to get good information on experiences from our long-term users. Every day, it seems like we're seeing pics of cool new tanks and ideas that our fellow "tinters" are...

Isn't it kind of funny I come back to some of the same themes in this blog? Well, it is to me...And it's kind of important. I'm happy to do it. The two most frequent questions we get about our aquatic botanicals are "Do I have to boil and soak them?" and "Why can't I add them to my tank all at...

Hey everyone, just wondering what your thoughts are on this food. It seems like an awesome deal with an awesome profile. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-8-Pearl-Flower-Horn-Floating-Coloring-Pellets-Also-for-all-other-Cichlids-/331446888975

The coolest thing about being a relative newcomer to the freshwater "Big Leagues" is that you get to meet some of the cool people who are very highly regarded in that arena. This past weekend, I was privileged to speak at a conference that had a rare mix of freshwater and reef speakers, and got...

Apart from, "What are your favorite botanicals?", the question we receive the most here at Tannin Aquatics is, "How many do I need for my ___ gallon aquarium?" And you'll just love my answer: I don't know. Seriously. It depends. And I'm not trying to be evasive or noncommittal here. The...

Wouldn't it be cool to provide your Tetras, dwarf cichlids, barbs, and other South Ameircan, Southeast Asian, and West African fishes with a more natural, relaxed representation of the physical environments from where they originate? One which can not only foster effective spawning, but can...

Have you played around with our aquatic botanicals yet? We're pleased to say that more and more adventurous and creative hobbyists are creating aquariums with diverse selections of natural materials for unique and memorable displays. If you haven't experimented with these botanicals, and have...

Well, I think the succinct and (if I say so myself) somewhat snappy title worked pretty well...got you here, right? Actually, today's piece has some pretty serious undertones, as the title implies. Yet, you don't need to freak out or anything. We're simply going to discuss a few of the finer...

Here is a beautiful South American-inspired cichlid aquarium, conceived and built by Jeff Senske of Aquarium Design Group, using Tannin Aquatic Botanicals. We're really going to enjoy watching this one evolve!

Because one of the key cornerstones of our brand is "wood", we continuously strive to source unusual, eclectic pieces to grace your aquascapes. We thoughtfully select only those specimens which "talk" to us; which bring a special "something" to an aquascape. Our ultimate goal is to have a...

Behnkes nursery has all of their aquatic plants on sale, 30% off. When I was there the other day, it looked like most of their 1gal pots ranged from $15 to $25 before the discount. I picked up a lovely variegated cattail and a bogbean. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

Ok y'all, this is a 2 part question concerning plants. Part 1: I recently bought an "aquatic combo" and bamboo from petco for my aquariums. The "aquatic combo" consists of: Dracaena, Spathiphyllum, Ophiopogon, Trichomanes and Syngonium. I have found conflicting results when researching these...

After remembering that molds are a type of fungus, did some research to ensure that I was not subjecting forum readers to a lot of spurious BS regarding suggestions offered on dealing with "mold" smells emanating from an aquarium. To wit: Molds are a subgroup of the larger kingdom of Fungi...
