After failing with dwarf baby tears, I'm giving a S. Repens carpet a shot. Wish me luck!

I lack the photography skills the rest of you have, but I'm really happy with how my tank is turning out.

My attempt at a walstad tank. Thoughts? I worry my gravel is too big and too thin.

Just finished planting my first aquarium, and it’s possible I bought too many plants

Magnesium deficiencies are no joke.

CO2, EI dosing, high tech tank.

I have soft water. I have been using Equilibrium in conjunction with crushed coral to bring up the GH and KH, which eventually brought my calcium pretty high, but the Equilibrium should have enough magnesium, right?

Wrong. Not even close to enough magnesium. After starting dosing Epsom Salt (MgSO4) with my micros, all of my plants that have been showing deficiencies have absolutely taken off.

My Ludwigia Repens, which was largely doing nothing but collecting bba for months, has doubled in size in two weeks and had THREE new side shoots that have formed in that same two weeks on multiple stems. The old growth is staying healthy and not collecting bba anymore.

My Alternanthera Reineckii actually started holding onto it's colors and continually putting out new leaves in the terminal bud. In the same way as my Ludwigia, older growth is not deteriorating the same way.

This makes me want to mix my own GH booster. There's no reason to have such little proportional magnesium (and ridiculous amounts of potassium) in the retail mixtures.

Magnesium can be overlooked in the Micros/Macros EI discussion. It is not an afterthought! Don't forget about it! :)

What are good schooling fish for a iwagumi style tank?

Posted: 30 Jul 2019 06:04 PM PDT

Looking for suggestions on schooling fish that would look great in iwagumi style tank. I have a 20 g rimless. Most nano schooling fish require tall plants.
