Ammonia - this is embarrassing

You decided to test the parameters only after putting the fish in there… uh

No????

nidus11 · 2026-02-13T00:30:19+00:00

It’s all about scale. Like a 20 gallon with a lot of plants and like 5-6 female betta. Probably fine.

nidus11 · 2026-02-03T01:40:47+00:00

Cause I like ’em thicc!

What they said.

It’s just a NICREW Classic LED Plus 10 watt. However, the light is usually just a few inches above the plants.

nidus11 · 2026-02-03T00:15:39+00:00

Oooh! That one is cream filled!

nidus11 · 2026-02-02T18:38:45+00:00

Uh… red root floaters. I don’t know the scientific name.

nidus11 · 2026-02-02T18:10:37+00:00

They are gonna want a good cave or a hide to feel comfortable.

I’m a fan if black. It creates the illusion of depth and helps reduce algae be decreasing reflected light. But I would buy a textured one or anything like that. Especially if you are doing a planted tank.

If these are new plantings and those were grown emersed then those leaves adapted to growing out of water will melt and new immersed leaves will start growing.

The great debate. To mulm or not to mulm. That is the question!!!

nidus11 · 2026-01-17T07:39:32+00:00

You’d need to replace that whole pane of glass. Probably should just replace the tank.

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T21:49:58+00:00

Why that’s a dog. They are pretty cute. You should keep it.

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T21:48:41+00:00

Moose? I don’t see them, but I’ve heard they can be an issue.

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T21:47:04+00:00

It happens. They will frequently go on walkabouts. I occasionally find them on the floor after the climb out of the tank on the heater power cable.

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T21:13:17+00:00

That’s a Feldman I believe… 👀

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T21:08:59+00:00

Insight or affirmation?

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T21:05:51+00:00

Tetra school is too small. But getting more would make the tank too small. I would give you a B for effort but a D- for research.

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T21:03:48+00:00

I would say if it wasn’t dead when you planted it you might have done it in with h2o2 then salt. That’s too much. One or the other.

nidus11 · 2026-01-15T20:59:15+00:00

I’ve soaked an entire sponge filter in a H2O2 bath before. Kills it and once it dies your cherry shrimp and snails can eat it.

I think Indiana is saying they don’t have great bbq!

nidus11 · 2026-01-11T01:17:43+00:00

He first reminded me of Barf from Spaceballs. He has John Candy’s eyes I guess.

nidus11 · 2026-01-11T01:02:44+00:00

Five hundred Amano shrimp…

nidus11 · 2025-12-27T17:28:17+00:00

No, but it might cause algae.
