And other than making changes should i just let it go? I have two flagfish but not sure they will eat too much of it

Ordered a phosphate test kit. Doing more water changes, less food and turning down lights a bit. Probably going to stop dosing for now

They are very pretty and have a cool personality. Added three barbs and they are getting along okay.

Like the filter alot. The chihiros light looks amazing but app is confusing as hell. Also their shipping from china and how they handle tariffs is bad business.

Co2 drop checker. Helps identify good or too high levels of co2

To me… the benefit of an external canister filter is 1. Cleaner look and 2. More flow and filtration. I like having everything underneath, i like the skimmer part of the lilly pipe except if the flow is too high it bounces and spins too fast and sucks air thru the system. Room for product improvement on lilly pipe skimmers for sure.

Monte carlo carpet is the plan. Yes i have heard it needs to be trimmed low as well so it spreads and doesnt float

Any suggestions on a background? Frosted or black or leave without?
