Which is better for a planted tank. Dirted or deep sand bed?

This probably won’t be popular but I use ramshorn and trumpet snails. Removing the leaves will probably just have it grow on and new growth. Real Carbon may help. I have used a different brand before I learned about.
From what I understand REAL Carbon is bad for my ADFs.

Will trimming my bacopa back heavily produce new growth without the black stuff on the leaves?

Thank you all. I am running filter floss in my Tidal 55. I change it about every third day. I don't rinse the sponge in the bottom of the filter basket though so as to preserve my BB.

Most videos I've watched say there's not much to do about a bacterial bloom. While it seems to have improved a bit after a 50% water change on Tuesday I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do to get past this?

Durrrrr, blub, blub, blub ..... I realized that Fritz Zyme 7 was just bacteria and that it wasn't going to raise my ammonia level by adding it to my tank. Having put enough for 80 gallons in a 20 gallon which because of the substrate is probably between 17-17.5 gallons I pulled Gabriel and my 3 Nerite snails out of my old 20 and put them in my new 20. It's been over 3 hours and he seems to be doing just fine. Just as a precaution I'm going to seriously over feed for a day or two and keep a close eye on his behavior.

Nice tank I would add some anubis or Javan fern to the stone in the centre
I'm thinking Anubias Nana Petite. Petite for scale.

Thank you.

I got my new 20 up and running. I'm using Fritz Zyme 7 and the sponge filter from my 29 to kick the cycle.

I'm wanting to keep Kuhli Loaches in the same tank as my ADFs. Would there be any problems?

Update, I was unable to find pure Ammonia locally. I guess I'll have to pull my snails out of another aquarium and put them in here. Per comments on this thread they poop enough to at least help. I'll probably be doing some heavy ghost feeding as well. Last time I used two shrimp, spot prawns, but I don’t have any now and oddly enough being in Alaska they aren't available locally. Do any of you know of any other way to raise my ammonia level?
Got my new 20 high up and running today. I used the sponge filter from my 29 and Fritz Zyme 7 to kick the cycle. I stressed heavily over my 29 a couple of months ago and my original 20 high a little over three years ago. Not going to stress so much this time. Once this one is cycled and plants are established I'm going to re-scape my 29 and rebuild my other 20 high. I'm running out of room but I'm still considering getting one of my 10s up and running for a Betta.
Gotta love MTS 🤣🤣🤣
Update, using Fritz Zyme 7 and one heavy ghost feeding my Ammonia is barely above 0.25 ppm. I'm just hoping that I can find pure Ammonia in a local store. I don't have access to a LFS, LPS or any chain stores. Other than adding the rest of the bottle of Fritz Zyme 7 and more heavy ghost feeding any ideas on how to increase the Ammonia level?

Scarlet Temple needs high lighting and co2. I've ended up having to pull almost all of mine out. I did a YouTube search and confirmed it. I wish I had researched it before I bought them.

I'm starting to build a new 20 high. I want to give it the look of a stream bed running through it. Looking for suggestions on what to use to delineate the gravel in the stream bed from the sand on either side.

Update: I found it on eBay and ordered one. This must be a very new product. The Fluval video on YouTube is only a few days old. I'm hoping it's a lot quieter than my Whisper 100.

Thank you.

Hoping to find them on here. Fluval lists Aquarium Co-Op as a store where they're available.

Fluval lists Aquarium Co-op as a dealer for their air pumps. I am unable to find it listed.
Does anyone have experience with their new A series air pumps? Looks like a great product on Fluval's YouTube video.

Angelfish definitely don't need live food. I don't know of anyone that feeds angelfish live fish, as opposed to non-fish live foods. It is difficult to raise enough live fish to feed them all the time. When you run out, buying feeder fish risks bringing disease into the tank. I agree with mountaintoppufferkeeper (or "MTPK") that you should just go back to what he was eating before.
So did you name the 14th neon "Lucky," "Speedy," or "Dessert?"
I have since ordered and introduced another 14 Neon Tetras into my 29 so he's one of 15 now. I wouldn't recognize him.

Lol, sun? Southeast Alaska is a temperate rainforest. Sometimes summer is on a Thursday 🤣

You could also feed him a range of frozen foods.like blood worms brine shrimp daphnia Cyclops
I don't have access to a LFS. I have to order everything online. The nearest pet store is Petco in Juneau (280 miles away) and they refuse to ship anything.

I have three dirted tanks up and running, one for three years, one for six months and one for two months. I'm considering doing one more with deep sand. Either the 20 high that's been running for three years or the 10 that I'm going to set up for a Betta.
