    Yes bigger water change, then add fish after a day or so. Make sure you start small with the fish. 2-3 is best if possible. Don’t want to overwhelm the BB. Remember: more fish, = ammonia.

    So I ordered Amazon sword. Anubias hastifolia, a new plant on ACs page, and micro sword. Oh yeah and Val. And planting tweezers and more root tabs. Lots of ands lol.So Q @Tony s, do I add root tabs and fertilizer BEFORE ADDING PLANTS. Or add after? Thanks

    Nano tanks have been my thing since I started. Some say, a beginner should start with a 20g or higher. But a 5g and 10 gallon or something like that is (imo) a good starter tank. In the right circumstances. Smaller tanks, I think you can have lots more fun with them. A 5g is a great size. Not a size that will have tons and tons of options but you can experiment, with smaller fish, shrimp, and aquascapes. I like these points! Video not showing up for me. Not sure if this is on my side, but it is just white blank space @TinaPax-Peeks. I personally like number 3!

    Tank after water change. Pic below. Let me tell you, this Georgia summer heat, is ruff. It hit 103 degrees earlier today. My water was BARELY cool enough for a water change. It was 73 degrees, that is how low it gets, and that is not cooled at ALL. I was planning on a change yesterday, but the water was to warm 😩. Crazy. Summer is definitely here, but I clean all the algae off of front piece of glass. And cleaned my gravel a bit. Took out some hair algae, and changed 25% of the water. Oh yeah and I am going to order more gravel to cover the diatom and algae ugly looking gravel lol.

    Got it. I will order ASAP. I will have to get another bottle of BB since I used all of it, since dr Tim’s one and only can’t be overdosed. Thanks @Tony s Yes! I was thinking of water sprite! And I will do some research on the red root floater! Thanks @Yoshi.

    Maybe lower light then for a few days, remove as much as possible, then check and look and see if it is not as bad. Lower light to maybe 7 hours.

    Corys seem so personal. He found a new friend 😁

    Yes, if ammonia nitrite go down in a 24 span, your cycled. Fingers crossed 🤞 as well.

    So update: My ammonia nitrite and ph are the same as above still. I am planning on adding more sand, as the sand is not deep enough for plant roots. So I am planning on a 10 or 20 pound bag of it. It is ok to add more during cycle right @Tony s? It will not disturb the cycle? And I am getting plants (ordering them) either Monday or Tuesday finally. And I am planning on more decorations. 🙂
  11. Whitecloud09
    Yes it appears to be. What is the brightness for your light? And fertilizer schedule and what fertilizer you use @shawnkissed.
  12. Whitecloud09
    From the paremeters. Your tank looks like it is cycled! But I would wait a week or little bit less to add any livestock. It looks awesome! Congrats on your newly cycled tank! 👏👏👏👏
  13. Whitecloud09
    Yes. Full tank. It is easier, especially if the leaves are thin and lay over like what @Mmiller2001 mentioned.
  14. Whitecloud09
    Looking great. Better than mine, I spent a hour just cleaning algae. It is better now, but still a work in progress. Your tanks are awesome!

    My nerite is a female. She laid eggs. Lots of em. The pics are only half of these white sesame seed looking eggs. Pictures!
  16. Whitecloud09
    Ok thanks @Tony s. Will wait. And thanks for the plant suggestions!
  17. Whitecloud09
    So update again. My ammonia has been sitting at 2 ppm. And nitrite still hasn’t showed up one bit. It’s 0 ppm. Ph is still 7.5. I sadly forgot when I started the cycle 😒, but I think it has been 15 days. Around there. Should I add more ammonia today? I have added it twice, on day one of the cycle, and day 7. Thoughts?
  18. Whitecloud09
    Perfectly said. And like @Tony s said, So important. It is the #1 rule in fishkeeping imo, keep the fish ALIVE, but not just that, healthy.
  19. Whitecloud09
    A fishless cycle is my way to go IMO. It is so much more simple, add ammonia, no water changes pretty much, and just patience. And when i did my first fishless cycle, i was so happy i did. My fish are very healthy! And the tank is doing good as well. Fish in is basically constant water changes. But either one is fine. But a boost for the cycle is a plus. A sponge filter from a fully established tank is a great way for a boost in your cycle. I like a ammonia in bottle product, so you know relatively how much you are dosing. Dr tims ammonia is my personal fav. But there is others as well. Like fritz fuel like @Tony s mentioned. And agree with @daggaz.
  20. Whitecloud09
    Give it time. Patience is needed with plants that die off. I totally agree. Some green not all dead. There is a chance. Good luck @Lonkley.

    Got it. I will do a separate doc, then make you a editor. Then you can paste it. I won’t make it huge. Just basic info.
  22. Whitecloud09
    Looks awesome, i have so much inspiration for my 5g tank that i am about to start on. Love it!
  23. Whitecloud09
    Ok, so should i just make a doc about the WCMMs, then give you the link? And you can copy and paste to this section?
  24. Whitecloud09
    Yes I will! Will link it from google docs!
  25. Whitecloud09
    Great! Ok, I am sorry I haven’t actually been working on my WCMM section, but it was because I had company over the entire weekend, I will work on it through the coming week if that is fine @Kunersbettasl
