Hydro coytle does spread pretty quick, but it can also grow a little tall so you might have to train it to stay low if that's what you're going after.
-
I'm just more impressed you built the ramp. I've done far too many stupid "gotta get this done tonight" tank moves that should have resulted in more injuries than I have gotten lol.

In general fish aren't more delicate than others. People perceive difficulty based on their experiences and not actual testing.
You should have very good odds of having no problems by dosing just paracleanse following the directions.
-
What type of fish are they? Different fish have different growth rates and maturity. Also size isn't a good determination of the age of a fish. Growing fish from a batch of fry you'll have some that are 3x as large as the smallest as an example and they are all the same age.

Tough spot to be in with the live plants. I'd go straight to 1 tablespoon per 2 gallons, the hornwort in the picture could be moved to a bucket with a light, not sure what other plants you have. You pH is a bit low for what platies, guppies and the syno like, getting it above 7.0 is recommended, perhaps some crushed coral? Also keep checking on ammonia as fish won't be able to fight off the infection well with the stress from ammonia.

I love it, the more you look at it, the better it gets.

has anyone used a empty coop fry food container?
Yep, I did this for years, my only problem now is I use more water/brine than the bottle I did think about getting a bigger one.

I need some of the mollies... Must move faster... my new house has harder water.

I'm not a fan of the bottle. I too bought some, it feeds too slowly for all my tanks. I even cut the stem WAY back. I like the turkey baster still. I really wanted that medical bottle to work 😞

First and second wall has the tongue and groove up.

You need to spell aquarium correctly for it to pop up.
-
I love it, truly I think it’s super cool when anyone gets inspired like that. And I can’t even draw my name 😛
-
Easy, turn into a fish so I can swim in the aquariums at will.
-
I believe you could do prazi again, however I would do paracleanse just so you can put some metro through them as well.
-
You should do the full dose after the water change. Ich x and Erythro or maracyn.

Lots going on there. First TDS isn't a useful measurement to compare to another body of water. It will say meds, dechlorinator, fertilizer and other compounds are TDS.
My best advice is to slow down. With all those moving parts, it's gonna be impossible to keep on top of. If this were my tank, I would do a 50% water change, use dechlor to fill it back up, an ddose erythromycin or maracyn and ich x and it it sits for a week while monitoring nitrite and ammonia. I wouldn't feed during this time so your plants can have some time to catch up on the remaining nitrates.

Yes it’s safe for crayfish.

First coat of paint is up on the ceiling. Last coat goes on tomorrow.
-
How long ago were the treatments? Have you added new fish since those treatments?
-
My only fear is that I'd knock it over, if it was attached to a wider lego base plate, might be perfect for me.
-
I find a black background helps when spotting diseases in our QT tanks btw.
-
I like live baby brine shrimp best, then I mix aquarium co-op fry food and xtreme nano pellets changing it up like every day.

Could be egg bound, could be constipation or organ failure as well.

I start bringing mine in when the water temp dips below 70 degrees. Some years this is Early September, some years late August in our area.
Phosphate in my water (from the faucet)
in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers

Sounds like you need patience. Your aquarium won't reach balance till 6 months after you make the last change. New plants, removing phosphates with a pad etc is all gonna make it take longer. My advice would be just don't do water changes and it'll balance out if you have lots of plants are are fertilizing to replace what is missing.
Also how do you know the phosphate is causing the issue and not the light, or some other source in your aquarium? What type of algae is it, why not gets something that eats that algae and just let the tank do it's thing?
