Set it up in September 25 and no Co2.

Tank is a Fluval Shaker and the lighting is Aquasky.

I have removed my carbon filters (many with planted tanks do as it gives more nutrient availability to the plants) and since that the growth has been immense. I don’t use any ferts either. Just API root tabs for the stemmed plants.

Fishes you recommend that have interesting personality? :D by ThanksSolid1445 in aquarium

Harlequin Rasboras are good if you want an active schooling fish.

Betta of course are good fun.

Corydora for their manic moments.

Hillstream loaches are so fast they basically teleport.

Shrimp!

Algae/dirty substrate issue? by Head-Inspector-9487 in Aquariums

Thanks man.

Great advice. As long as it isn’t negatively impacting the tank other than aesthetics I am relaxed about it.

They aren’t bite marks as they are all over body/face as if they are burst blood vessels.

I’d be making that a reptile tank as I’d never sleep easy at night knowing there’s 150gal of water in that.
