Here is my most recent tank... If only Fintello will comply...

4 gallon Baby BiOrb aquarium, new as of a month ago. Fully cycled with large gravel and ceramic media, as well as one Anubias Nana plant and several beautiful red plants which I have forgotten the name of. Home to one beautiful (marbled) male Betta named Fintello.
Water parameters:
Nitrate 20 ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Ammonia 0 ppm
pH 7.6
GH 400-500
Chlorine 0 (just thought I'd add. It's on my test strips.)

Tested with strips for all but the ammonia, which is an API ammonia kit.

Vacuumed once a week, fed twice a day except on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which are fast days.

Naturally, I hope this wins. However, GOOD LUCK to all contestants and CONGRATS to the winner... which most likely won't be me.

P.S.: Next month you'll get to see my year old tank... looking forward to entering it!

[SnailPocalypse]

Oh and good looking tank harpy anubias looks healthy and so does the fish

 

[HarpyFishLover]

Haha, thanks, SnailPocalypse. Between getting Finn to comply (Finn is short for Fintello) and typing through the glitchyness of my phone's keyboard, that whole post took 10 minutes to put up.

Just kidding, that only took 5 minutes.

Thanks! I had to do 4 water changes just to get it somewhat clean from all the stuff that came up.

 

[NickAu]

1 albino cory catfish

These need to be in groups of 6 or more and that gravel is unsuitable for them.

Why is your water so cloudy?

Lots of shrimp
Malaysian Trumpet snails, Lots


Ph 7.2

Water Changes 50% once a week.
Vacuuming of substrate, Never.
Additives, Easy Life Fluid Filter media and Indian almond leaf, I do not use any ferts.
Filter, Sponge.
Aquael EASYHEATER
Lighting Beamworks High lumen 60, this runs for 6 hours a day.
And
Aqua One LED Mini Touch LED 6w Touch Clip On, This runs in the afternoon and a few hours at night because its not as bright. This is the light that is on in the photo.

The lights are on a timer the little light comes on at 9.30 am till 11 am, then the big light kicks in as the little one goes out and stays on till 6 pm, then the little light kicks in till 9 pm.
Getting the timers right was a nightmare.

There is an excellent feature of the Fluval Fx6 Filter. People will be highly benefited if they use this device. I hope the aquarium lover will definitely fall in love to use this device.
