My First Deecnt Tank

[Sweeden]

Nice one! make sure you get some nice pics!

How long have you been getting 'double zeros'? most people suggest a qualifying week, just to make sure your filter is good to go

I get double zeros about week and a half ago. then been mega busy so kept feeding bacteria, going to check everything is fine in a bout an hour before going shopping.

QQ should i get rid of my 2 snails?

and also how do i stop my tank leaking from the top? basically air bubbles are popping and thus putting water on lid leading to coming out

Just don't fill so close to the top. Snails are totally up to you. Congrats on passing your qualifying week! WD

Ive taken it down from top by around an 1" and bought some decent glue so i'll re seal the lid.

i'll leave the snails then for now

cheers for the congrats i'll be sticking up a picture as soon as i get the black vinyl back ground

Very nice. Very nice wood, plants and rock. If I might make an aquascaping suggestion (that you can take or leave)... The wood being offset to the right of center is your most powerful asset and the large plant being behind it in the corner is excellent.. whereas the large plant slightly to the left of center causes a little too much balance (you don't want balance) in my opinion. It should perhaps join the weight to the right side? And there is a similar problem with the pretty rocks, they are spaced much too evenly in my opinion. Too appear more natural, they will need to be more randomly weighted to some single spot but with a more random positioning (not sure how this will work or if you'll need some sort of little stack (in which case you also have to be careful to make it safe for the fish.)) I realize you have gear to hide on the left but that's a common problem and sometimes the scape just has to "ignore" that.

I asked for 10 and got 12, they only tiny so when they get bigger i'll transfer them to a bigger tank. which im trying to figure out where to put in my room atm.

That looks like java moss to me, on the bogwood. WD

Actually I think it may be guppy grass WD. Java moss often does not have the distinctly separate branching that I see on that sample. Either way it would make a good cover for any fry that come along.
