Note

week 24

noticed the amazon sword has thrown out a new leaf thats bigger than all the others, kinda towers over the rest of the plants now. rest of the tank looks good, crypts have filled out nicely under it too.

Note

heater swap

swapped in the fluval e200 heater this week and it was more of a hassle than i thought it would be, had to redo some of the hose routing on the canister to make room for it near the intake. dropped a fitting behind the stand and had to fish it out. works fine now but took way longer than expected.

Tetras look really settled in there. Any of the shrimp actually surviving with them or are they just decoration at this point?

Love the color in that water, are you running co2 with catappa leaves or is that tannin look just from the wood?

White sand with neons on top looks so clean, are you just really on top of your WC schedule or what's the secret lol
