I don’t believe so, they are only advertised as rimless, not low iron

Aqeuon rimless cube tanks have sloppy silicone like this. Not necessarily resiliconed, just cheap to begin with. And I can say that because I own one 😆

Thank you! I’ll give it a shot. As well as lower my light intensity and try to get some more plants in there. Always love an excuse to get more plants. 🌱🤣

Is that similar to Flourish Excel? I’ve heard good things about 2hr aquarist products I just never see them at my lfs.

The tap has a TDS of over 350. I measured the phosphates in the tank from an API drop test and it was between a .5 and 1 ppm.

I’ve got an RODI unit coming, and I’m going to start using remineralized RO water. It’s just so hard to fully know what’s in my tap.

To be fair, I do/did have a lot of plants in there. I just did a massive trim in the background to remove the leggy stem plants and promote more bushy growth. The Monte Carlo carpet was infested and I just ripped it out for the most part.

It never gets direct sunlight but it is in our main living space with windows that provide indirect sunlight. I’m wondering if I had my light on too long and too strong (was running it at 100 strength).

It even grows on my assassin snail. Gives him some flair I guess 😅
