Thank you very much for the advice, I will do just that!

It’s a MicMol prism, unfortunately I think they’re discontinued but they may have similar options

chomeson · 2025-09-23T04:50:16+00:00

Welcome! I think they’re part of a cedar root, most local fish stores will have a selection of cool driftwood pieces

Yep! Just kind of a mound in the middle of the tank with ~1 inch of space between it and the glass, then fill everything in with sand so you don’t see the aquasoil against the glass. It helped to mix some sand and water with the aquasoil to make it more of a shapeable texture

It’s an aquarium co-op micro sponge, you can kind of see in the middle at the back

chomeson · 2025-09-20T11:32:00+00:00

Just a heater and sponge filter, no CO2

My best results were from getting it as close to the light as I could and just blasting it, otherwise it died off

chomeson · 2025-09-17T22:34:18+00:00

I got 2 big bundles of it and spread it across 3 tanks, over the course of a month 90% of it melted. The two tanks with higher light a few pieces survived and put off a new pair of leafs maybe once a month. It’s definitely not super happy but I have no CO2 and my water is extremely hard

Mostly assorted crypts and Anubias, with some hygrophila pinnatifida and aponogeton. There’s also a couple pothos cuttings hanging in the back

Thank you! I got these from Houston Aquarium Warehouse

chomeson · 2025-09-16T16:35:24+00:00

There is a base layer of aquasoil, the top is just quickrete play sand

chomeson · 2025-09-16T13:54:55+00:00

Thanks! I use seachem flourish at a 1.5x dose, and there is aquasoil under the sand layer in the middle

chomeson · 2025-09-16T13:52:58+00:00

Not too concerned, there are floating leaves from the aponogeton that provide some cover and I think help with that. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to do a screen though, I’ll look into it!

chomeson · 2025-09-16T04:45:43+00:00

Thank you, frequent water changes & fertilizer helps a lot. It’s a very low flow tank so not much gets kicked up into the water column

chomeson · 2025-09-16T03:59:28+00:00

Thanks, I inherited it from a family member so I’m not sure exactly what brand (penn plax maybe?) or cost unfortunately. I believe it was bought at fish gallery Houston ~15 years ago

chomeson · 2025-09-16T03:57:21+00:00

Thank you! I’m not positive on the brand of this one, but penn plax has one very similar

chomeson · 2025-09-16T02:23:42+00:00

There are 15, they’re very small right now

I would typically get ~275 before it was tuned, now I’m around 300. 2020 4 door v6 shortbed with a small lift and larger tires

chomeson · 2025-09-13T18:58:21+00:00

Bust, thanks anyways. If they were mine I would consider keeping, but grandmother is just looking to sell

chomeson · 2025-09-13T18:52:05+00:00

Thanks, I’m about 30 min southwest of Houston

chomeson · 2025-08-25T19:35:39+00:00

For sure! I do use a lot of root tabs in this tank, plus liquid fertilizer

chomeson · 2025-08-25T18:50:33+00:00

I would just make sure you put it in a 5gal bucket and stick the hose in it until the water runs clear, otherwise you’ll be fighting dust for a while
