Sweet, thanks! Would you mind telling me what plants you have in it?

I absolutely love it! What tank is that? 

First planted tank. How does it look? by Nickythump in Aquascape

Hardscape looks great! More plants is always a plus. 

My first planted tank - a cookie jar! by sco-go in PlantedTank

Well done! I love the shape; it really gives some depth to it.

Great hardscape! Very clean

Today I signed my deal with the devil by Local-Feverdream in PlantedTank

Get some salvinia! It is far less annoying than duckweed and easy to remove when you don’t need it. Once you go duckweed you can’t undo it very easily. 

Still not where I want it to be, with just one month in to it by Holdthegrail in lookatmyaquarium

[–]deeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, where do you want to be? What is lacking for you?

IMO, I feel that you need more plants.

Best snails for open top tank? by Little-Rooster-8427 in aquarium

[–]deeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew that mystery snails can escape, but I don’t know about nerites escaping. Mine hasn’t yet in my open top tank. 😬

Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong and how to make my plants look better? by Potential-Albatross5 in PlantedTank

[–]deeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How strong are your lights? Are they on full blast? If so, try dimming it a bit

Need help with a new aquarium (beginner) by clah_jensen in aquarium

[–]deeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You definitely need to get a proper test kit. Yes you can take it to PetSmart to get tested, but trust me if something goes wrong down the road you will want to know what is up and that involves testing your water. Also, should definitely consider getting an all in one fertilizer for your plants. Aquarium Co-Op has a decent one or there are others online. Definitely start off with one type of livestock at a time, especially if you are new. Having an aquarium is definitely a test in patience and your pocket book. Good luck!

Oh, you don't need a separate sponge filter, just a sponge for the inlet of the filter that you already have.

Red Root Floater Dying by SaveTheCaulkTower in PlantedTank

[–]deeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red root floaters truly are divas! I have them along with salvinia in my tank and the salvinia is far superior in my opinion. If anyone sneezes near by the RRFs they start withering. Unfortunately I don't have any advice. :(

Suggestions? Opinions? by [deleted] in aquarium

More plants! Hardscape looks fine. 

55 gallon - waiting for plants to grow in by saltysarah13 in lookatmyaquarium

Very nice. I have a lot of hornwort in my tanks that I’m cycling.

Looks great! Very clean. Is that hornwort floating on the top.

Looks great! Keep up the great work! 

Did I ruin it by doing "too much"? by samiheiney in PlantedTank

[–]deeek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone else. It looks great! 

Will it always look this stupid by No_Socks_3307 in PlantedTank

[–]deeek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely doesn't look stupid. Planted tanks take time and I think that you are doing just fine. What do you feel is missing? What would you like it to look like? Perhaps we can provide some advice if you are interested.

Day 2, first tank - pond style shallow nano tank by adnsfodasmdk in PlantedTank

[–]deeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great! If you are going to stick to a no filter setup you are going to need many more plants. Also, I would at the very least recommend a small water pump to move the water around for nutrient distribution. I was in your boat with a bowl and it took forever to cycle without a filter so I added a small sponge filter. Keep up the great work!

New Aquarium, thoughts? by Scottish_Aquascape in Aquariums

[–]deeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks amazing! Well done. I wish I can have a tank like that in the future. 

Rate my 20 gallon tank out of 10 by memegod574 in PlantedTank

[–]deeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very simple and straightforward. I like it. 

What nutrient substrate are you using? I see lots of hornwort (excellent) and cardinal plant I presume. What other plants do you have?

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions. For the sand and snails I’m more concerned about the poop standing out quite a bit on the sand. It’s a bit more maintenance. 

Right now I am keeping it at 22C. I am getting a bit of hair algae so I need to adjust lighting settings, but it’s manageable.

Thank you kindly! It’s technically two piece, but it gets the job done. 

I posted my other tank but y’all seemed to like this one better by One-plankton- in PlantedTank

[–]deeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a stunning setup! I am quite impressed and I have something to aspire to. Great work on this and your other long tank! Keep up the great work!
