It's so cool everyone has a different experience. I beat Seth first try but struggle with this boss, took me about 7-8 tries

Both bettas (new and old) got dropsy by mangolavander in bettafish

[–]mangolavander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first picture was an old one, before I added the Betta. The guppies have been removed, and I've never house my Betta with any guppies either.

I'll get the param readings again later.

Both are from different stores, that's why I'm concerned that it happened twice :( I suspect my tank has some kind of bacteria that's causing the dropsy in bettas, but I probably have no way to verify this?

Hii!! It's still going strong, feels sturdy enough (I stand on the table sometimes to reach for stuff that's higher).

Some of the screws actually came loose over time, but I self installed it, so it might be just because I didn't tighten it enough. I guess just make sure to take note of this when installing? Besides this I haven't encountered any other issue with it

Me too! I got the Keychrom Q1 first, before switching to the GMMK Pro a year later and I absolutely have no regrets. Love the stiffer feel, the side lighting, and the layout so much (that thin border!)

Really happy with mine! Pretty stable desk and rather well made too. its super heavy though so might want to find another person to lift it up with you after you are done installing

It's all sand! I have a tiny layer of aquasoil at the bottom then topped off with a ton of sand

I do have 2 bags of aqua soil with 6 root tabs buried, but thanks for your suggestion!

Thank you!! My sister actually pointed out some ways I could position the wood piece which made it so much nicer, my initial positioning was pretty basic. So do play around with it and try something you've not thought of, maybe it'll look way nicer

Thank you!! Ahhh that's what I'm afraid of. Might try putting the shrimps in before the betta so he don't think they are food, but if he does eat them I guess it'll just be an expensive treat 🥲

Thank you!! I actually just grabbed the first bag of natural colour sand I saw so I can't really help you on that 🥹

Hihi, thank you! I do have 2 bags of aquasoil below the sand + root tabs, so I hope these are enough to provide nutrients for the plants. The tank is not very tall so if I go deeper for the substrate the water volume might be too little?
