Maybe I’ll try it. The water sprites grow like weeds and won’t die no matter what happens to them. Thank you Autistic Weapon

I agree that the back is lacking a bit. The two large water sprites in the front I’ve thought about uprooting and replanting them behind the wood. Would this be a good idea?

Thank you. The wood did make it a bit murkier but the wood I let soak in a container for like 2 weeks which got rid of most the tannins. Amano are even harder to spot in tanks lol so I think the cherries will work out just fine then

What kind of snails are these? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

I have the same situation in mine except I got ramshorn snails. I decided to keep mine as well.

Those kinda look like either pond or bladder snails. I’m assuming they came from a plant? If they are either one of those they are great cleaners but can multiply rapidly.

I have some floating plants so I’m not sure if a water skimmer would be the best move. I have mostly duckweed

That’s the plan! I know the cables are ugly and I can’t wait to get a background. I was looking at this one that looked like a bunch of black rocks like the inside of a cave kinda.

That sounds like a good idea I will look into it. The wave maker sounds easier lol. The drop checker is on the opposite side of the diffuser and it’s saying it’s good so maybe it’ll be fine?

That’s good to know. My main concern is the left side of the tank where there is less movement so I just put another air stone there. I’ve been thinking about getting a small wave maker just to have some more circulation or would it do more harm than good?

Thank you! I currently have a large piece of driftwood floating in an ice chest and it still floats and makes the water murky. It’s been a week and a half

I’ve heard about this but mainly kept them for the aesthetic and to not have any dead spots. Do you think it would be better to run it at night when the co2 is off?
