These are very cool. I actually did a few today, myself, using stones and moss from a recent vacation. I love yours thought. I have one that has little gnats...It is an enclosed one...do you have any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks.

I did the same to see how Amanos might work with my Betta...he seemed uninterested in them but they all died in the matter of days. Now I'm nervous to try the more expensive Amanos.

So I'm a real newbie and I'm not even sure I phrased my title correctly. I watched Corey's video about optimizing your sponge filter. I have the nano filter and the usb air pump. Corey talk's in the video about turning down the air...do most air pumps have a way to do that or was I suppose to buy something else? I'd love for my sponge filter to be so loud. Sorry I feel like a simpleton, I'm sure I'm missing something, but I'm new to this hobby.

Hi from Michigan. I came to fish keeping recently via an unusual route. We've had hermit crabs for several years thanks to a few trips to the beach shops...well when one of ours started ailing, I did a deep dive and decided they needed more stuff, which required a trip to the pet store. The kids then begged for a fish and 5 gallon tanks were on sale. So I purchased one. Luckily that tank had a crank had a crack, so I returned it for a 10 gallon...I also returned the plastic plants for real plants. I had never heard of planted tanks before a few months ago. So currently we have a very handsome Betta, a few Nirete snails and lots of plants....we also have 3 Danios, which I bought as tank mates only yesterday, but quickly switched them to a shrimp tank I have in the planning stages because they seemed to be stressing out Betta. I'm in a tight spot here in my area...I feel like our LFS doesn't always have the best looking livestock but the PetSmart doesn't have the best info...hence the suggestion of the danios....when my brain wouldn't remember what nano fish would work .( I really want Amano Shrimp but can't find them in town.) Anyway, glad to be here.
