I seem to always overstock and usually overfeed too. It's all about filters and new water though. I test water regularly and like you said it keeps thing in good shape.

Gonna be real nice with a little jungle right in the middle.

I thought I would give y'all an update on the 75gal. It now has CPD's, Featherfin Rainbows, Homey Gouramis, Redtail Shark, and a handfull of Redline Sharks. Almost forgot the Raphael Catfish. Haven't seen him in a few days but under that flat rock is a huge cave I built for him. I drop food back...

It's planted! But I stirred it all up again lol

I bought that not long ago just haven't used it yet. I also got the Advance and the Excel Amazon suggest you buy.

The reds and pinks come out with the iron in your water. They will take the same light as green plants it's just the more iron you have in your water the more the reds will come out.

All my lights but one are Finnex Stingrays. The other I have is similar to the ones you listed, just no remote and stuff. I like both. The thing to look at when light shopping is the spectrum. A good balance between blue and red light is preferred and a light with UV and IR is greatly desired...

Might I suggest Aquarium Co-op's Easy Green? I don't have shrimp or snails but I've never lost any fish using it. I test my Nitrates every few days and dose as needed to keep around 20-40ppm. It's really only good for stem plants as they mostly feed from the water column. Your root loving plants...

Welcome! And may I say if I was you I would buy as many tanks as I could afford. One is never enough. Come to think of it 3 is never enough. Or 4 or 5 or...

I gathered all the plants and substrate I wasn't going to use in my 75gal and replanted everything in my 55. The roots hanging in the back are pothos I put in the plastic cups aquarium plants come in. They fit perfect between the lid and back of the tank.

Got the CPD's and the rainbows in the tank. And more plants arrived today along with our Striped Raphael Catfish and a Redtail Shark.

I CPD's in with my serpae tetras and they were right there with them on the food and I've never had them off hiding. I just got a brave batch I guess cause I hear everyone saying how timid and shy they are. But not mine. One of mine would chase off anything that came around his plant.

I was thinking about that and if I see anything going on I plan on putting them over in my 55. May have to do the same with the rainbows too. Hopefully they will be big and fast enough to avoid any danger.

Black angels, Raphael catfish, Redtail Shark, and a ton of CPD's and Featherfin Rainbows. I have a few different plants coming soon also to add in there.

I got the Flourite substrate over the Ocean Forest soil. Planted root tabs about every 4 inches and used up all the extra plants I have on hand right now, I have two more orders of plants coming. I just have to wait for the water to clear up and maybe a water change or two and I'll be adding fish.

Thought I would throw in a pic or three of my other tanks. First one there in my 20L with two Honey Gold Gourami. They are in there with 4 Chili Rasboras and Bob. Bob is a really cool Betta. Yes they get along great. 2nd pic is another Gourami in my 55 as is the third pic of my 55. There are a...

Letting the "dust" settle from removing everything from my 75 to magically transform the aquascape. I didn't clean the tank, I just drained the water, picked out the big rocks, added more Ocean Forest and mixed with sand and some gravel. Now I'm letting everything settle before topping off with...

I will for sure. Do you need help cleaning your basement?

I bought the same under the guise of it being Monte Carlo. Very little has stayed planted and I scoop it out by the bowl full all the time. Probably never get rid of it all but it's a nice cover plant just have to stay on top of it.

Hi, my name is Kawonu and I'm a fishaholic. I only have four tanks at the moment but I can't resist the constant urge to get another one. My friends and family always look at me strange when I ramble on about the new fish or plants I just got. My kids have almost declared a "no new tank" rule in...
