endlers and otos everywhere, neons weaving through the dragon stone. the shrimp mostly hide in the bucephalandra.
moved one piece of spiderwood that kept catching the flow weird and pushing sand around. small fix but the flow looks a lot better now. everything is coming along well, carpet almost solid in most spots and the bucephalandra finally putting out new leaves.
added the first fish today, small group of neon tetras. bag is floating on the surface right now getting them adjusted. tank still looks pretty sparse with the carpet only half filled in but its wild how different it feels having something actually swimming around in there instead of just plants and rock.

Evan MartinezQuestionTank looks great, what are your params sitting at these days? Mine's always a little off on nitrates
Brooke HassanQuestionWhat percent are you doing weekly on this one? Trying to figure out a routine for my own carpet tank.
doing around 30-40% weekly on that one, keeps the carpet happy and doesnt seem to stress anything out.
Reese PowellQuestionNo CO2 on this one right? Plants look full for a low tech, what's your photoperiod like
endler's colors look good against that dragon stone, nice contrast
Endlers and green jade shrimp together is a fun combo, are the shrimp holding their own population with that many fish in there?
No co2 on this one so cant help with the soil question, but rotala stunting for me was always more about light than substrate when I ran stems years ago. Bucephalandra looks happy at least
Thao ThomasQuestionThat dragon stone placement is really clean, is that Ohko or something else?
yep ohko, picked pieces with the flattest bases i could find so they'd sit still without gluing anything down.
