Noah_J Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hey all, Finally decided I needed to start being more active online. I don't have much of an aquarium community around me, so I'm happy to have a place like this! I've been a follower of the channel for a little while, but I keep hearing such great things about the forum. I've been in the hobby for a little over a year now. I'm up to 6 tanks, ranging from a 2.5gal to a 29gal. I'm currently working on breeding out a few species of shrimp. And my favorite fish right now are the chocolate Kuhli loaches I recently got. I love these little buggers! The hobby has had such an impact on me that I decided to return to uni back in December, to pursue a degree in Marine Biology and Sustainable Aquaculture. It's been an adjustment being back in school, but I'm loving it like I haven't loved school before. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanTruth Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Welcome to the forum. Shrimp breeding sounds like fun! That carpeted tank looks amazing. Is it pearlweed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it pearlweed? They're dwarf baby tears! It is my first experiment into high tech tanks, and I had started the tank with the dry start method. Though now after I've flooded it, I've been having issues with blackbeard algae growing everywhere. I'm guessing I have too much light, since I never see my CO2 rise super high. Pictures are from the very beginning and now. Though there isn't an overwhelming amount of algae now, since I just did a trimming of it all. I have ember tetras in the tank and some amanos to help a bit with the algae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the nerite snails have decided the barrier stones don't need to stay put, and have started mixing the aquasoil in amongst the pebbles. Ugh!

School was something I struggled with wanting to do for quite a while, so being this passionate and motivated feels pretty novel. I'm not sure why that photo would only load upside down. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I got it at a LFS. I believe it's just a chunk of petrified wood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise01 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Your tanks look amazing!! I'm new to the forum also still trying to figure out how this works. I'm old school so it takes me awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
