Note

new filter, ouch

Swapped in the Oase BioMaster Thermo 250... Wallet is crying but flow through the scape feels so much better now. Worth it I think.

Note

quiet week

Nothing major, just noticed the moss finally attaching properly to the wood instead of floating around when I rinse the filter. Small win.

Note

algae phase

Hair algae creeping on the hairgrass and some green spot on the glass... Did a blackout for a couple days and cut the photoperiod back after. Plants are filling in decent otherwise, just annoying to look at right now.

Note

LFS run

Went in for shrimp food and came out with a bag of neon tetras... Classic. Tank's only a month old so kept it to just the neons for now, wanted something in there before I lose my mind waiting on the cycle.

Note

still cycling

Clear water, no fish, plants tiny and sparse. Waiting it out is not my strong suit.

Note

filled up, now the holding pattern

Filter's running, water's in... Nothing alive in there yet and it's already killing me. Just staring... Ok not staring. Staring.

Note

hardscape day

Put the driftwood in dry today, no water yet... My partner walked by and just said 'that's a lot of wood for a 20g' lol. Rearranged it three times before I was happy.
