Hello Friends

Most “beginner” plants are actually very hard to kill, sort of like a cactus.

You definitely won’t regret getting Anacharis.

I'm a known plant killer. Killing my aloe vera unsuccessful.

I killed an air plant, which requires even less than an aloe plant lol

That is why I recommend easy to care for plants to people starting out. I had plasitic for years and this is now my 2nd year of only live plants. I just picked up some water sprite from my LFS and 5 ferns from Petco today for my 30 gallon LOTR tank I am working on.

My wife has those all over the house, they never seem to die unless you forget to water them.

I had an amazon sword when I first started with this hobby and I didn't know that amazons are heavy root feeders. Now I've got bleheri and spectra, and they started to look a bit iffy. I got some root tabs for them today from my LFS. Hopefully I'm not gonna kill those, they're not so cheap.

I have some amazon swords too and just replanted them when I changed my 55gallon for LOTR castle to sunk forest, I still have them in the same tank just moved them so I hope they will be alright.

If you want an easy plant to grow, try Hippeastrums. They are a spring flowering bulb but grow for most of the year before going dormant over winter. Put them in a pot with some potting mix and a slow release fertiliser. Water them a couple of times a week and they do the rest.

Plant, check out Water Sprite. Great. Can be planted, little plants form on the leaves. You can then remove them and let them float. Roots hang down Great for fry and the fact that you get alot of bang for the buck.

I love the grass, looks great!

I love the grass, it’s constantly moving and is great to watch.

Exactly my question.

A fish less cycle takes up to 6 weeks to fully cycle. (With no SeaChem prime)

If you don’t believe me @JuiceBox52, read this thread:https://www.fishforums.net/threads/cycling-your-new-fresh-water-tank-read-this-first.421488/

The tank is looking great so far! Is it just me, or is the light not on?

The light was on I believe. I will post another photo this evening, the tank looks so much better at night.

Brilliant, thank you for the recommendation. I will add them to my list.
