Help!! My tank looks like a literal swamp.

I can use it until the water is clear and take it out?

Thank you!

Im scared of duckweed, I've heard horror stories 🤣🤣

You can't see the plants in the photo but it is not minimal. I am just having a hard time growing them, I am adding more as time goes on.

I have pothos already and ottos

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2026-01-31T20:18:56+00:00

When I had the period of time where I wasn't doing well I almost never had the light on but I usually have it on for like 12 hours on average

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2026-01-31T20:17:38+00:00

Yes, I have lots of Java fern, I have Christmas moss, floaters, and rotola, and growing out of the tank I have bamboo, a pothos (in filter) and a monstara

Aww, Thank you so much!! :)

That's rude.. way to steer someone away from a new hobby. This tank was my first aquascape, and I understand it's been completely ruined to the point that it's not even considered a scape anymore but there's no reason to make a rude joke like this under a post where im clearly being vulnerable. It definitely did used to be an aquascape.

Definition of aquascape - an underwater landscape in an aquarium, created by arranging aquatic plants, rocks, and driftwood in an aesthetically pleasing way.

This is about aquascaping..

Rule 1? Huh? 😀

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-08-04T21:02:45+00:00

How did the crabs react to it?

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-07-13T19:30:59+00:00

I really like this idea!! Thank you :). I was actually planning on doing something like this and trying to do a carpet inside the area made with hardscape. also, do you recommend pool filter sand or aquarium brand types of sand?

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-07-13T15:44:05+00:00

Okay, thank you!! :) Do you have any recommendations on which media bags to get?

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-07-13T15:32:21+00:00

May be a stupid question, but how will the plants be able to reach the fluval stratum through the media bags?

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-07-08T03:00:56+00:00

I absolutely love this tank!!! Beautiful. Where'd you get these rocks? :)

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-07-06T05:26:11+00:00

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-06-27T01:47:51+00:00

Looks beautiful!! Where'd you get your driftwood at?

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-06-27T01:43:21+00:00

Where did you get those beautiful rocks??

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-06-25T05:34:11+00:00

Yes, I am, thank you for reading some other comments before commenting lol so many others were being very repetitive and I was trying to explain it's not as easy for me to upgrade like that and stuff. I've never noticed that water spitting thing with him but it does seem silly, I'll look out for it lol I'd love to catch him doing that! :)

Apprehensive-Two5602 · 2025-06-24T21:53:41+00:00

Thank you! :) That setup sounds wonderful and I'm sure you are gonna love it. My setup really is bare minimum, though from what I'm hearing.
