If you haven't already reviewed the product in the shop, I bet these pics would be great to put on a review!

no no no.... Just glass storage shelf for fish and things. A tank looks nice, this is PURELY for storage for later use. elswhere. in a bigger tank. somewhere nice. with fun stuff to make it look awesome.
I just want to see the quarantine fishies’ symptoms. I can’t do that in the tote. It’s not fair to be netting them every time. This is purely for scientific observation.

LOL..... ya'll are just being feisty.
I definitely don't recommend more tanks!!!!! There's a long story to that and it's something I had to go through and I think it's normal for a lot of hobbyists. MTS is so real especially seeing all the Cory vlogs and all the fun stuff he does. Smaller tanks are so easy to pile up!
I think I am always going to limit myself to 3. at most. At best, 2.
I would encourage you all to have healthy, open, up front conversations and no be sneaky with fish tanks! LOL.
Maybe what you want and need aren't the same thing! I wanted a 55G, but I NEEDED a 75G. See?I’m not “adding” a tank though. I’m “replacing” a tote.. with a tank!

You’ll want to reduce the time that your light stays on as well.
There is a technique on this video for removing algae such as yours.

Could they be hitchhiking snails? If so, you can either keep them or soak the plant in seltzer water overnight in a dark area, uncovered, but weighted down with something (ie: a spoon) to ensure it stays submerged. The carbon dioxide benefits the plant but will kill any creatures coming in on the plant.

Cryptocorne and pogostemon require root tabs, as nutrients in the water column are not enough to feed them. Iron is also required. These plants can be found on the ACO online store and if you click on directions within the listing for the plant, it breaks down what nutrients it requires.
The water spangles may have died due to moisture from the lid. The tops of floaters generally need to remain dry or they will rot.

Marineland makes other filters such as the Penguin biowheel. I wonder if those impellers could fit your magnum?

I got an update on Goldie. The first snail that was adopted out. She is being spoiled with salad!

Today’s progress… It’s my BIRTHDAY!
I had to move the Lily back a bit as it was pressed up against the glass. Trying to re-bury all the roots was a struggle, but I got most of them! The pic was taken just before I moved it. Hopefully I didn’t hurt it!
Happy birthday! 🎂

@Guppysnail the snails, it is amazing how small they are when they are born, it will be nice to see your future post of them getting bigger. And I bet their coloring will be awesome,
maybe it is a good thing I have to watch my numbers in my aquarium. I remove the egg sacs .. Or I would have a whole house of aquariums and mystery and nitrite snails would be in each tank ,,,
Fortunately the nerites won’t hatch. Those eggs require brackish water.

1/64-1/16 tsp on 10-20 gallons.
It’s not harmful so super exactnesses are not a big issue.
Thanks. The calculator was coming up with 1.75 Tablespoons which sounds like a lot.
(29 gal tank)
A tiny spoon came with the Kanaplex. I wonder what the measurement is on that little spoon. Hmm…

My husband already told me NO more fish tanks! But my Aqueon forge stand has a spot on the bottom of it for a 5.5 gallon which I want to setup as a quarantine space. (Shh don’t tell.. I don’t think he will notice because it’s lower to the floor and there’s a table in the way. LOL!) The tote has been serving me for quarantine thus far but I have to net fish every time I want to examine their symptoms.

No that is phosphate which I have. The potassium is the K a tiny amount goes a long way. I use this dose calculator I think it’s linked to GLA https://rotalabutterfly.com/nutrient-calculator.php
@Guppysnail I looked at the calculator but I’m nervous. How much do you use, and are you low light?

Dodger is picky! He doesn’t like carrot, he doesn’t like cabbage, and he doesn’t like crab cuisine.
He likes green bean and calcium chips though. He’s pretty content to clean the tank, like the nerite.

They love cabbage so much! They are on their second leaf now.

Noticed more new growth on this ludwigia since adding the root tab.

Clutch 12. I believe it was laid while I was out delivering snails to their new home. It’s never laid when I’m around, it seems.

@Katherine I tried to get a video of the little guy for you, but then there were a bunch of shenanigans!

Today’s progress. It seems to be reaching, then relaxing, then reaching, then relaxing through the day. I don’t know why watching this plant grow gives me so much joy, but I’ll take it!
Me too! 😍🌿

Got up this morning to check on our new shrimpy friends. They seem to be adjusting well. Swimming all around and hopping on the backs of there mystery snail friends. Of course there little buggers to get pics of. Maybe when it's feeding time I can get better shits of them
There’s another typo in here, but who’s counting? I never said anything because I think it’s funny. 🤣
Mystery Snail Babies
in Fish Breeding
Posted · Edited by Chick-In-Of-TheSea
What I did is I gave egg yolk and then some other food that sinks (ie: algae wafers, crab cuisine, calcium). When they were first starting out, they would only eat on the walls. Once they started eating things from the bottom, I discontinued the egg yolk.
What I think helped encourage them to go to the bottom was adding a little java moss to the breeder box. That's a food source for them too, and they would seek that out and attach to it.
That's why some of the snail breeders suggest a breeder box. It's a small area for them to travel to find something to eat. Plus it is a smaller thing for us humans to clean as well.
