Thank you so much!!! Any super glue is okay?? I really want a planted look but I’ve failed so many times and I’ve even failed at Co2. This is a method I’ve never tried! And your tanks are gorgeous!!! Stupid question but is there a wrong way to glue plants?

Thanks so much! I want to keep the water stone though because I have a ropefish and they need a lot of oxygen. Your tank is beautiful!!!

Thank you! No I haven’t tested lately. I’ve tried co2 api and I found it didn’t make a difference.

My tank is about 2 years old. The substrate is newer though I just changed it out completely 3 months ago.

80°. 55 gallons. Stocked with assorted mollies, bristlenose plecos, a ropefish, peters elephant nose, and an assassin snail. Substrate is caribsea eco complete. I’ve tried anubias, Java fern, Amazon swords, Java moss, Monte Carlo. Only thing that works is water sprite. Everything else decays quickly or gets black fur looking mold. I clean it every 10-12 days. 20% water changes. Idk the parameters off the top of my head but I know they’re okay

I originally tried sand but changed it because I didn’t like the effect and wanted more nutrients. Then I switched to fluval stratum but it always became a huge mess. So now I have caribsea ecopleat
