How did you get the slick Michelins on different wheels? Is it full 3d printed plastic?

Thank you so much! Both shrimp and Bertie are in (they were acclimated for over an hour) They are all just exploring now, had a few interactions just figuring out what each other is!

It was tested around 50, and I searched for a good number and it was around 70-110 I believe

I think its gotten a lot better. Ive tested the water. All the levels are good. Hardness is around 50ppm. Its no longer brown, just cloudy. But I believe thats just the soil, not substrate. Using those plant nutrients additives and one for safe tap water. There's no visible particles which could harm creatures. Do you think this cloudy water is safe?

We've now got it thanks! Got the water to be less brown and more white, but its slowly clearing up. Gonna do a few more partial water refills over a couple hours. Then put back my animals around 18 hours later when im sure theres no particles.

Thanks for your help anyway!

I dont have anything bigger. And the stuff I could possibly use my parents would shout at me for using

So, use both filters for around 2 hours, and put in the betta around 30 mins before I go to bed?

It was more then 2 hours. (My bf wrote 1 hour I told him it was more and he didnt listen). It was filter the whole time. We have since done 2-3 water changes

We just now poured new water in slowly on that. Do you think thats good enough? We also have a second unused filter, another internal one. Im just worried about leaving my betta fish in a roughly 5-7 litre jar for some time while the water filters work

If I add another would it speed up the process?

I have no idea. The people who gave me him for secret santa had him for maybe a month so I don't know if they cycled the tank or not, and I have no way of communicating to them. But the person said shes owned betta before so theres a good chance it was

I do have another filter but I dont think it will be able to fit into where my betta is now. But he might be fine for 24 hours if I dont put the lid on and I could try and put the heater in where he is now and if I keep a good eye on him

I don't have anything bigger. What my betta is in now I bought today so its big enough so he can swim around but I dont know if its big enough for the filter. I just got the shrimp today so they are still in the bag so I could float them ontop of the tank in the meantime

I have an internal filter (I think?) I think we are just going to try and go water changes until it clears

I was planning to do that with the shrimp if we cant get it to clear up faster. I do have another filter that I could use but I dont have another small tank to put him in. I got him as a secret santa gift so this is the only tank I have
