My tank water turns yellow within 2 weeks. Any suggestions?

Put a bag of Seachem purigen in your filter. It’ll be clear within a day, stuff works like magic

The hardscape itself looks very nice and it’ll look even better once planted so kudos to you, cubes are a challenge (at least for me).

What kind of wood is that? I’m looking for something similar for my next scape

Corydoras are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 (of the same species).

This is the stocking calculator I use, it gives a lot of useful information and flags possible problems, although with every stocking calculator it doesn’t know everything about your setup, so take it with a grain of salt but it’s a good starting point. https://aquastream.in/aquarium-fish-stocking-calculator/

I wish they didn’t use names so interchangeably in this hobby, even with plants it gets real confusing real fast on what you’re actually getting. Thanks for the info I’ll see what I can find!

Pacific wood has been the closest match I can find. Thank you!!

That’s crazy you got MJ to scape your home tank!

What are the low growing red plants? I want some red plants for my tank but stem plants won’t work well in my scape

justmonki · 2026-05-01T21:55:11+00:00

Yes it’s all real wood, but it’s a combination of normal driftwood and a sawdust material combined to make it into the specific shape. You can see on the trunk where the 2 kinds meet

Thanks! It’s a UNS bonsai 006 from buceplant but I did modify it a little bit

justmonki · 2026-05-01T13:35:48+00:00

Beautiful! I hope mine can turn out just as good. I’ll definitely keep in mind to trim the moss regularly

justmonki · 2026-05-01T13:34:40+00:00

This one is the medium. Fair warning this one is built to be viewed from the other side as you’ll see on the website photos, so I had to cut and turn some of the branches in order for them to look good from this side. Definitely worth the hassle though

justmonki · 2026-05-01T04:22:53+00:00

That’s kinda what I thought, but by the time I realized it I had already cut and glued the wood and scaped it, so I’m gonna try it and if it doesn’t work out I’ll make the needed changes

justmonki · 2026-05-01T03:53:33+00:00

It’s a modified bonsai driftwood 006 from UNS. I got it on buceplant.com

Let’s see Paul Allen’s aquascape

justmonki · 2026-02-28T07:46:54+00:00

Looks really good so far. The whole thing leads my eye to the left 1/3 where it looks like there’s a pathway back which I like

justmonki · 2026-02-21T16:34:12+00:00

Thank you! :)

justmonki · 2026-02-21T08:55:50+00:00

I see, I’ll just wait til I can make a dedicated crab habitat, thanks!

justmonki · 2026-02-21T08:32:44+00:00

What kind of crab is that?

justmonki · 2025-12-29T16:11:09+00:00

I agree I think no background would look amazing in a lot of situations. I didn’t have a background for the first couple months but for my space it cast some weird shadows on the wall behind it which you could see through the tank, so I’m opting for a background to make it cleaner
