i went for all AE powders in the end which fingers crossed should arrive by the time i finish the black out. the reason im dreading it mainly is that my shrimps are super unhelpful and like to unplant my hc ALL THE TIME thats what my avatars all about
ps. i dont have any fish yet, waiting to see what catches my eye at the time could be endlers could be neons but no more than 8

not being able to look at your tank makes you anxious
only day 2 and i want to look already
i hope my plants are ok
more importantly i hope my shrimp are fine. my berried female was heavy when i got her she might have dropped, i need to do a water change, and check my levels *panic" i hope nothings dead,

haha this is what fuels wanting to look, so, 4 days you say? that'll be monday night i can take the sleeping bag off, i hope everythings fine cant wait to change the water, was due a 50% change today

Black out over and im totaly free of bluegreen
Downside is that i now have very very little HC and HM as its all melted my E tennelus is going well though
Started to does ferts too, added KNO3 K2PO4 and MGSO4 and fitted diy CO2 so i should be free from BGA from now on
While i was at it i did a huge replant, retied my moss and pelia and tried to get everything looking neat and tidy, failed.
Adding insult to injury my lightbulb has blown and its only a week or so old, im disaster prone it would seem, off to aquaessentials to get a replacement

post black out

abit closer

enjoy
