About

Riverbank Hideout because the dragon stone stack looks like a little bank the endlers duck behind

170 days in and honestly if I redid this scape I'd leave more open space in front, dragon stone is a little crowded for a 5 gallon. Plants look good otherwise, rotala needs a trim soon

Swapped in the Chihiros WRGB II 60 today, box still on the floor by the stand. Way quieter than I expected, was worried about fan noise but you can barely hear it over the filter

Dragon stone in a 5 gal shrimp-turned-corydoras tank, curious if it's pushing your GH up at all, are you cutting with RO

5 gallons and it looks that clean, nice. How do the endlers do in such a small tank?

CCaleb WuQuestion

That dragon stone stack looks great in a 5 gallon... How long did the layout take to settle before you added the corys

Tank owner replied

No corys in there, it's endlers and rili shrimp. Let the scape sit dry a day then flooded and ran it cloudy about a week before adding anyone

Eheim classic in a 5g seems like overkill flow wise, curious how the endlers handle it

DDuc SandersQuestion

Curious what percent you're doing weekly on that 5 gallon, seems like it'd swing parameters fast with that bioload

Tank owner replied

Roughly 20-25% weekly, bioload's light with just endlers and shrimp so it doesn't swing much

Started as shrimp only and turned into this? Classic. How's the eheim keeping up in a tank that small, any flow issues in the corners?
