  1. Water is zero across the board. It does have a haze that doesn’t snow up as much on the camera. I highly doubt it’s particles, it happened a few hours after dosing, I have a Fluval 307 on it and I have filter floss, prior to that the water was glass. I’m quite baffled if it’s not some kind of bacteria bloom. Lol
  2. Set up a 10 gallon, two days ago before I got fish I used the API QuickStart. Usually I do this as I add the fish, but they were delayed. Now have what looks like little white bubbles everywhere, but it’s not bubbles. It’s slightly cloudy. Photo is the best I can do, you can really see it in the photo by the waters surface, but it’s everywhere. I’m assuming a bacteria bloom, but never had it so here I am. Haha. Thanks
  3. Nice and plump! what about the Sparkling gourami? Do you guys have any of them as well?
  4. Love to see it! Do you guys have any CPDs/chili Rasbora and blue neo shimo in?
  5. I always pre-rinse. thanks
  6. All good, I believe it was just the new filter media no more bubbles this morning. Haha a little impatient on my part there.
  7. Just set up a 10 shallow, I had an old 307 from 21’ and put that on it, over kill I know, but I have it. Haven’t used the clear tubes yet and put in a new sponges. I see this on the out take tube, also seems to be making a tiny amount of bubbly noises randomly, just curious if it’s because of the new sponges and hasn’t ran in 2 years?
  8. I promise I have a degree.. lol Anubias….
  9. Might help if I spell Anubis correctly as well haha. I did add Anubis Golden, some Buce and flamingo pink just for a splash of color in the middle. See what happens with it! Excited for this, I’ve wanted one for a while, but never pulled the trigger. Yeah no background plant on this one, will be my first without haha. I did also get the flamingo pink, I usually have good results with some co2 needy plants, not sure what it is, but I can grow them well without, so we will see!
  10. starting my first shallow tank, a UNS 60S 10 gallon. I plan to get Crypt Nurri, Parva, nubis petite and hydro Japan off the top of my head Curious if anyone else has any suggestions? I would like some submersed and emersed.
  11. I’ve held Badis before in a larger community tank and they were good. Had them for 3.5 years before they died. I’m looking for info on if a shallow or long would be more ideal. ill save them for another build, I’m going with my favorite in Chili Rasboras instead. Haha thanks I’ve had Badis before, so I’m familiar with them, but I’m more curious this time if they would prefer more footprint or a longer tank. When I had them in the larger tank with others they occupied one section so I’m leaning on the larger footprint with the shallow. Also yea, all of my tanks are heavy planted and lots of hiding places, I’m a big fan of wood haha ill save them for another build, I’m going with my favorite in Chili Rasboras instead. Haha thanks!
  12. Going to start a badis only tank 3 or 4 and maybe a pair of Pygmy Corys. I know they’re a type of “shoaling” fish, but I have my eye on a 10 gallon shallow. I’m curious if they would prefer a long or if the wider tank would be better? I haven’t really seen anyone talk about it, unless I’ve missed it.
  13. Hello all, Got a trio and trying to see if they’re male or female. I cannot tell if the one on the right is still juvenile or a female got them at the same time. The 3rd one looks like the one in the left slightly smaller. No real aggression, some chasing and standoffs. The picture actually shows the colors more now ironically so from that I'm leaning towards male and female, but will still ask.
  14. The tank is well established for 6 months or so now. The filter flow is already on the lowest It can before it stops. It’s in need for a trim also, so I can plant a few more stems. I do have an nano air pump from the co-op also If there is any stress, but I’m not a fan of bubbles haha.
  15. I have a 17 gallon that’s been running for a months now. My Fluval is making a bunch of noise now and this maybe my chance to swap it to a no filter which I have wanted to do for a while now. Most of what I see is people using soil and doing a no filter and fertz. The tank is pretty heavily planted with Neo’s, 5 chili Rasboras, and Otto and 3 Honey gouramis. I use Aquarium co-op fertz, ammonia, Nitrite stay at zero and nitrates usually around about 5ppm or a little higher. If I continue my normal dosing and water changes I should be fine running a no filter with continued dosing right?
