Note

quiet week

Nothing much happened, just feeding and watching... Fine with that honestly

Note

filling in

Carpet is finally spreading and the moss looks fuller... Good week

Note

naming them

Added the chili rasboras today, first livestock in the tank. Trying to name a few of the bigger ones... Not going well, they all look identical when they school up

Note

test numbers

Two weeks into cycling. Ammonia reads 0, nitrite still climbing a bit, nitrate present so something's happening in there... Water's crystal clear at least

Note

filled it up

Water's in, filter running... Cloudy as expected. Staring at bare substrate with these tiny plant clumps is rough, want to just add fish already but nope, gotta hold off

Note

setup day

Got the wood and stones placed dry today... Forgot how heavy a bag of Amazonia actually is hauling it up the stairs. Hardscape feels right for now, might still shift a piece before water goes in
