Please help! I am really hoping to get this solved asap as im going away, and leaving my roomy in charge for 2 weeks.

need to know how to get started

They look a little over watered.

that's a hella list of questions.

they look perfect. the leaf tips appear just barely turning lighter. to me this indicates nitrogen burn about to start. i keep mine just like that. just on the edge of burning. you can back off a little to be safe.

visit all the sites you want. knowledge is power.

appreciate ur advise, fdd.... i think i am just a little too anxious, is all....
and i think the problem was the res they were in was too small. I put them into a 12g res, instead of the 4g, and they have takin off quite a bit....lookin a lot better than before, thats for sure.....
i also added another airpump, so i now have 1 per res w/5 airstones each
roots have grown a substantial amount since entering the bigger res....

thanks
