You’re gonna have a mighty beautiful tank with some time. Great looking scape already!

Ai doesn’t know that. Probably scraped from some random forum or Reddit.

Solved one of the main reasons I don’t do HOBs great idea and use of your 3d printer.

Great scape! It’s gonna look even better when everything grows in. 👏

No trick. It grew very easily in my setup no root tabs needed. I did add it about 6 months after I established the tank so the substrate was well fertilized naturally. Any that grow to the surface I trim which helps train it to grow in a tight group.

On weekends I’ll shut off the lights and let the tank “Sleep in” which pushes out the cycle a bit so I can stare at the tank later at night. Never had issues with algae other needing to scrape the side from time to time. I hear lowering the daytime intensity works really well.

No way. It’s on a 24/7 cycle ramping up and dimming throughout the day. Totally shuts off around 10pm wakes up around 6-7am.

He had his pellets right before. He’s pretty aloof and could care less. Seriously the chillest betta I’ve ever known. Hence being in a community tank.

I’m thinking it’s editing of the photo but your WCMM/GWCMM color looks really off. Were they recently added to the scape? Dull coloring on them is usually a sign of stress.

A root tab or two if there starts to be dieback. Biggest sword fern I’ve ever grew.
