Getting close to how I want it... If I redid the scape I'd probably push the dragon stone further apart, feels a touch cramped in the middle now that everything's grown in.

My cat treats the dragon stone like her personal throne... Cardinals and shrimp mostly ignore her judgmentally.

Installed the cooling fan today and of course the bracket didn't fit right the first two tries... Got it clamped on eventually but that was more fiddling than a $20 fan should require.

Nice mix of plants in there. Endlers breeding much or are the cardinals keeping the numbers in check?
any endler fry actually making it past the cherry shrimp and otos, or are they getting picked off fast
A few are making it, I see tiny ones dodging around the vals every so often... But yeah I'm sure some are becoming snacks too, that's just nano tank math at this point.
Curious if that stone's pushing your GH up at all, or are you cutting your water with RO to keep things in check for the endlers?
Honestly haven't tested GH since I set it up so no clue if the dragon stone's doing anything to it lol... Not cutting with RO or anything, just tap through the sponge filters. Endlers seem happy enough so I haven't stressed about it.
How's the ONF Flat Nano+ handling growth on the vallisneria in the back? Mine always stretches toward the light.
Endlers in a nano like this always look so good schooling around. How often are you seeing shrimp out with that fry running around, or do they stay hidden with cardinals in there too?
Shrimp are out constantly, they don't seem bothered by the fry chaos at all. Cardinals mostly ignore everyone and just cruise mid water. It's a pretty relaxed tank honestly, nobody's hiding from anybody.
Dry start or straight flood on that carpet? Looks really clean either way
