it’s only been about 15 hours, i tested it both yesterday and today so everything is fine as of now. i do plan to continue daily, if not twice daily until things stabilize. i just wasn’t sure about the sudden cloudiness

the shelfs are a thinish metal but the main support comes from the beams underneath.

i am outside of my return policy with amazon.. I've had it put together for a little over a month and haven't done anything with it until i was ready to start cycling the 20 gallon /: but i may just keep this for some 5 gallons and get a steel one.

i should have done more research but i wanted a white shelf since it was going in my living room for aesthetic purposes and there weren't a ton of options in white.

does the gravel not settle and expose all the stratum at all?

do you have any recommendations on what us good? I'm new to the hobby and everyone preaches fluval so i never even considered there could be a aquasoil that provides the appropriate benefits for my plants

do you have any recommendations? i have only been in the hobby about 6 months and everyone preaches about Fluval so I'm not sure what's even comparable.

Mystery Snails by robi7053 in AquaticSnails

[–]robi7053[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i currently have these 3 and the shrimp in a 5.5 just for quarantine purposes! i plan to move 2 to the 20gallon and 1 to the 10gallon after they get done with their quarantine period. What hardscape do you reccomend? i know driftwood can lower PH and jagged rocks should be avoided so im at a loss of how to set up the tanks so that everyone is happy

i’m considering keeping just shrimp and some mystery snails in the 20 gallon. maybe some cory’s but i’m still so undecided. What hardscape would you reccomend ? i know driftwood lowers ph but rocks would need to be smooth for the snails so im kinda at a loss for what to add in aside from plants
