Planted Pea Puffer Savannah

And well, since I was testing I figured might as well test everything else too.

PH 7.6 ppm
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrites 0ppm
Nitrates 0ppm

I was surprised my PH no longer drops so I guess enough tannins were removed from the wood. This is good news since the Peas don’t appreciate a PH that is too low.

I purchased a few other items along with the phosphate test.

I noticed the left side of my tank had a bit of a dead spot where the plants didn’t move and the sand was dirty as well. So I purchased the smallest circulation pump I could find and added that in to get more movement in that area which will hopefully circulate the fertilizer better... this also in the hopes of combating algae. Not to mention that it will make vacuuming the sand easier if the waste were to pile up where it was easier to see and reach.

And since I was checking for ammonia constantly I decided to try this 24/7 tester by Seachem.

These shells I got especially for the snails.

Quite hilariously fine print on those shells.

I tried feeding blanched zucchini to the otos and some shrimp I have in another tank. No one wanted it. I cooled it off and everything....

My ottos loved it but I’d blanch it then run a knife all over crisscrossing the surface to soften it up foe their delicate mouths and easier foe the shrimp to pick at.
