Cardinal tetras are the ones I watch most, ten of them schooling tight over the hairgrass with the rasboras cutting through. Jade shrimp graze the seiryu stone all day. Carpet's patchy in one corner still, moss filled in nicer than expected.
Nothing really happened, just sat and watched the rasboras chase each other around the hairgrass for a while. Shrimp are out more than usual grazing on the stone. No maintenance to report, just an easy uneventful week which honestly I don't mind.
Noticed the vallisneria was shading out one corner of the monte carlo so I thinned it back and redirected a couple runners away from that side. Carpet's coming in well everywhere else, moss has thickened up a lot too. Small change but already seeing more even light hit that patch a few days later.

Grown in for a year and it shows, carpet's dense. What's your dosing schedule on that Fluval Plant 3.0 photoperiod?
Niko LongQuestionTank looks really settled in, how long has it actually been running? That cardinal school looks dialed in.
No CO2 and still that clean of a carpet on the monte carlo? Kinda jealous, mine melts if I look at it wrong
Cardinals look great against that spiderwood, did you fight algae early on or was it smooth the whole time?
Curious about this too, cardinals and rasboras together always make me want frozen mysis but no idea what youre actually running
no CO2 and it looks that good? colors on the cardinals are popping
Mateo MorrisQuestionIn-tank diffuser or is it plumbed inline through the canister? Curious how much co2 mist you get with just the UNS delta running
No co2 on this one honestly, no diffuser at all. It's just the fluval plant 3.0 and low-ish light, monte carlo and hairgrass are doing fine off root tabs and column ferts. Probably could push growth faster with co2 but wanted to keep this one simple to maintain.
