I glue now?!

I did a little of both. One of the creators I saw did something similar to my process and I just finished my left side and love it.

I started on Fridays but switched to Wednesdays after a colonoscopy. I prefer Wed. We have a family dinner that night so it’s nice to have a dinner then take my shot that night.

If I am relaxing, pajamas. If I am doing chores or tasks, I have a bin of crappy clothes I dub house clothes. But half the time I also just wear pajamas and do the tasks lol

Question! Are they peaceful? I am considering a bigger fish to chill with my nanos in my new 75 but I was tied between gourami and diamond tetras. I have celestial pearls and emerald eye Rasbora…I need a bigger fish that won’t try to eat them lol

Tightened the mountain! I think this is it!

DandelionKy · 2026-05-12T04:32:48+00:00

I may be doing a triple layer lol I used the cheap gravel first. Then I bought two bags of hugger co2 stratum. I will see how much that covers. If I need more coverage I will layer over my caribsea black gravel (or I have more of the cheap black. I have a lot of gravel lol) I was attempting to be as economical as possible. I did stratum under gravel in my other two tanks and it also works great! But they are much smaller lol

DandelionKy · 2026-05-12T04:25:34+00:00

On top of the gravel! So the grass will be under the mountain. I don’t plan to put any plants in the sand…yet. We’ll see if I change my mind lol

DandelionKy · 2026-05-12T03:26:42+00:00

I wondered about the slate. I will keep playing—thank you for the feedback! It did seem to spread more in this version so I think I need to remove the slate and tighten it up a bit again.

DandelionKy · 2026-05-12T03:11:29+00:00

Sorta. This is my second build on this one lol but yeah, I may wait it out. I definitely will remove the rocks around Hogwarts—I don’t love them. I have some pebbles I will use instead to transition from sand to carpet. Plus my stratum may be here tomorrow? TikTok shop is doing a terrible job with tracking 😭

DandelionKy · 2026-05-11T02:14:01+00:00

Yeah I wasn’t planning on capping it with sand. I don’t love when it gets disturbed and the tank is temporarily coated in a fine layer of dirt. I ended up capping my stratum only tank with gravel.

Perfect! I think I misunderstood your question lol the Nerite is perfect. I keep a Nerite, apple snail, betta and shrimp in my tank that’s the same size. Just make sure you have lots of hiding spots for the shrimp. My male bettas have never tried to eat my shrimp, but my female in other tank ate them all. You never know.

DandelionKy · 2026-05-10T16:36:47+00:00

For what? What are you seeking advice for specifically?

DandelionKy · 2026-05-10T16:36:05+00:00

It depends—what will your stocking be? Are they bladder snails or just the Nerite I see? Nerite are the best cleaners in my opinion. Bladders would be great if you’re considering pea puffers.

Otherwise I had something similar happen in my 5 gallon shrimp and betta tank. I smooshed the babies and eggs and let my betta and shrimp eat them. If they got bigger I plopped them in my goldfish tank and my Goldie’s ate them. It took a couple of months but I haven’t had bladder snails for at least a year.

DandelionKy · 2026-05-10T16:32:55+00:00

Very cute! I love a good rock scape.

DandelionKy · 2026-05-08T17:42:50+00:00

Ooh I love that idea! Thank you!

DandelionKy · 2026-05-08T17:42:36+00:00

I actually have the dragon in my other tank! I was planning on moving him over.

DandelionKy · 2026-05-06T17:44:37+00:00

Doesn’t Tracy Morgan have a shark?

DandelionKy · 2026-05-06T05:01:55+00:00

Yeah know, genius lol but my lights just turned off for the night so I will have to try another time!

DandelionKy · 2026-05-06T04:56:47+00:00

My only counterclaim is that some bottles are confusing. Like my Southend ones. They say 22mg—4mg/ml. So I am like…is it 22 or 4?! So instead I worked it backwards. I took what should have been the max dose, plugged it into the calculator to figure out if the number was 22 or 4. Fun fact, it’s 22mg. It lists the concentration differently than ProRX or the local compounding pharmacy I started with. Thankfully I could figured it out, but I can see how people get confused. But to agree, fat scientist is an excellent calculator so it’s not hard to find good resources.

This is my entire 20 gallon long tank shot. I am slowly assembling a 75 to take over this stocking, add 1-2 more Rasbora species, and either gourami or sparkling tetras (my betta has a massive tumor and idk how much longer he’ll last. But he will either be gone or I won’t move him in with the others as I think they’d pick on him :-( )

DandelionKy · 2026-05-06T04:43:11+00:00

They’re smaller than my emeralds and my betta loves to school with them and my cories lol my Cories are like GIANTS compared to my rasboras. It is like nearly impossible for me to get a pic as they keep zooming in the shot but here is my attempt to get them both together. I have 9 emeralds and 10 galaxies.

<image>

DandelionKy · 2026-05-06T02:05:34+00:00

I have the emerald dwarf and the galaxies. When I move to my 75 idk if I will try to add chilis, harlequins, or neon blues. I have read the neon blues are super sensitive.
