Sits along the hallway wall where the light hits it in the afternoon, so my kid stops to look most days on the way past. Ember tetras and white clouds move through the Seiryu stone, cherry shrimp pick through the moss, swords and java fern filling out the back. Heater's been swapped once already, otherwise it just runs.
Swapped the heater out for the Fluval E200, more out of wanting the extra control than the old one failing. Getting it positioned without disturbing the substrate too much was annoying, ended up draining a bit more water than I meant to just to get my arm in there comfortably. Temp's holding steady now, just watching it for a few days to make sure it's actually reading right.
Had a friend over who doesn't keep fish at all and she stood in front of this tank for a solid few minutes before asking what kind of moss that was on the stone. Felt like a decent compliment considering how sparse this thing looked a couple months ago. Still gaps in the carpet area but it's clearly filling out, minnows seem happy weaving through the vallisneria too.

did the ember tetras come from a local shop or online, trying to find a decent group without paying shipping stress on them
Sam JamesQuestionWhite sand staying that clean with ember tetras and cherry shrimp in there is wild, mine gets dusty in like a week. What's your secret.
