Have you ever done a timelapse or anything of planting a tank? Like I said, you're amazing at this stuff and I know I would be in awe. Others might really love that chance to see you do your thing too!!! On 11/11/2022 at 11:58 AM, Mmiller2001 said: Also, I had some fish deaths that were surprising. And going forward, I'm going to shift fish choices more towards colder water fish. Oh my favorite 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmiller2001 Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 I needed to double the order but I have a wife who wants to keep her hair 😂. I have tons of Dwarf Sag I'm keeping and the Val Leopard. Have some Anubia laying around and another crypt I'm really liking right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single best defense against algae is plant mass. The substrate swap is going to throw the tank way off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXInkedPhoenixX Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I seriously just wish you were my neighbor and I could get all your plant cast offs, even if the plants didn't make it in my tank you'd likely have new ones for me shortly. 😄 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plants arrive tomorrow and my wood will take a month to sink 😁. The wife may have killed an Ember and I haven't seen my Apistos since this morning. Fingers crossed. Nothing is arranged plant wise. Just wanted to be done for the day. Also, the sand has an interesting smell. Hope I have fish in the morning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
