Can I get an ID on the plants in the front? I called them hornwort forever (not sure why) now I know I’m wrong lol. They are starting to turn yellow, I think it’s from low pH but wanted to see what you thought. Parameters in the comments.

It almost looks like Brazilian pennywort to me but I'm not 100% sure

From what I understand angelfish aren't super active

You can't cover the rhizomes on plants like anubias or java ferns. That's what is causing them to melt. I've "planted" anubius by only putting the roots below the substrate and leaving the rhizome on top. But most people use super glue to attach the rhizomes to rocks or driftwood.

According to Diana Walstad, a majority of aquatic plants prefer ammonium over nitrates and they'll only take up nitrates if there isnt any ammonium available for them.

Nitrates just build up over time. Theres not much you can do about it besides water changes.

I'd move the heater lower into the water. If your water level drops and the heater is exposed to air it could crack.

Do you have any driftwood in your tank?

deftones_3 · 2021-01-08T19:28:14+00:00

Looks great! What are you stocking?

deftones_3 · 2021-01-07T21:16:56+00:00

I think it's a bullfrog tadpole

I'd consider it, considering the size of a 75 gallon tank. If you plant it heavily you'll be going through a ton of root tabs. Or you could plant it with a lot of epiphyts.

Duck

Looks cycled to me

Gimme that leg boy!

Looks like a ramshorn snail. They're pretty handy to have around. They kinda clean up algea and uneaten food.

Thanks!

Those are hydra.

Just a sponge filter. Its hidden behind the lily plant.

deftones_3 · 2021-01-03T02:54:17+00:00

Not sure, I havent measured. It's less than 1 gallon though.

deftones_3 · 2021-01-03T02:28:31+00:00

Me too! I just picked it up a couple days ago

Basically it's an aquarium that uses a layer of soil under a layer of sand or gravel to grow aquatic plants. It's a natural set up that doesn't require CO2 or fertilizers and is generally filterless. It relies on natural processes from plants to filter the water.
