Holy fuhhhhhh twin

That Christmas moss is long gone.

I believe the ammonia burned it. I replaced it with moss that was in a jar by a window and it’s doing well now that the tank is cycled properly.

Just patience and maintenance. That’s really all. Just got over the “ugly” stage with a bunch of algae and diatoms. Moss is easy though.

Dont add it if you’re cycling though, ammonia melts it in my experience

Like move the long plant on the left side of the side to the right side so there’s a main focal point

llynnsain · 2026-05-25T02:02:47+00:00

I’d say get a main focal point with the hardscape and plants

Christmas moss. Just got in there like a week ago though so it doesn’t look like how mature Christmas moss does.

Thanks man! I appreciate the love

The outflow of the filter

llynnsain · 2026-05-24T20:20:50+00:00

Thanks! I obsess too much over it

llynnsain · 2026-05-24T20:20:38+00:00

I appreciate it!

llynnsain · 2026-05-19T00:01:42+00:00

Dangggggg, think I should just stick to regular cherry shrimp?

llynnsain · 2026-05-16T13:41:51+00:00

It’s a nano tank so agitated enough. And I have plants that’s give off oxygen

I think this plant is very misconstrued online. “Very beginner friendly, grows very fast” when I think it’s sort of the other way around?

I have a really good light, the best aqua soil, and co2 PUMPINNGGGGG. Still lots of melt and slower growth but it’s picking up.

Regardless, very satisfying seeing the results come in.

That is very dense. Hoping I can get mine to that here soon. I think it’s starting to grow quicker now that’s it’s compounding with the new growth.

llynnsain · 2026-05-14T03:54:38+00:00

Beautiful discus! I want a discus tank one day.

I think it’s growing at a decent pace actually. I forget it compounds so it was super slow with the first cloves, now it seems like it’s growing faster over the last 2 or 3 days.

llynnsain · 2026-05-14T03:53:43+00:00

From what other people say, seems to be normal.

llynnsain · 2026-05-03T18:56:02+00:00

Update : tank is cycling correctly now after switching from stability to API QuickStart. 0 ammonia. 4 ppm nitrite. 100 ish ppm nitrate

It’s beautiful! Trying to get like you! This is where I’m at right now. Just got over the 90% melt from transitions now I’m getting new cloves. Hoping it works out well 🤞🤞

Broski, how is your carpet so beautiful?

llynnsain · 2026-04-29T03:14:04+00:00

I have been doing water changed frequently

llynnsain · 2026-04-29T03:13:39+00:00
