I got really sick for 2 weeks and couldn't clean my tank. This is what happened

All I managed in that time was one tiny 10% water change. I did not expect this success but wow. I can thank the Co-op for the plants, root tabs, easy green, & expertise. I'm feeling blessed today! See all the growth

Hi @Alexoxoandra, first of all, I hope you are feeling much better and have fully recovered. Getting sick is never much fun.

But wow, your tank definitely grew in nicely. I find that we, as fishkeepers, tend to want to always have our hands in the water. Yet, from my experience, my aquariums always do best when I minimize any changes to it. Nature takes over and the aquarium becomes balanced, consistent, healthy and beautiful. I am glad to see you have success and feel great.

And yes, Aquarium Co-op is the best! Haha

its nice when things take off. i tend to think much too often folks do too many water changes, and that takes a lot of nutrients out of the water.

Wow, looking great. I love the low and bushy wisteria. The stuff in the back (pogostemon?) looks like it went crazy!

@Isaac M I agree!! I'm anxious to get back in there but at the same time, I don't want to clean too much and end up messing it all up either! Lol so I'm trying to have patience and go about it slowly

@Patrick_G thank you!! And yes you are correct, I noticed those guys first but as I got up close I realized the growth is everywhere in the best way. On the link I put more close up shots and labels because it's hard to tell from the FTS
