Thanks for the reply! I think you are right. The picture shows how much in disarray the tank had become. Last night I did a total overall. Removed the plants, trimmed them. Removed the rocks and driftwood, fished out all dead and decaying bodies and plant matter. Re scaped the tank and...

Hello I recently set up a 3 gallon nano tank to house 4 CPDs, a few assassin snails, and RCS I went through the following process: I rinsed Seachem Flourite Black Sand thoroughly, then added a thick layer to the tank, added Seachem root tabs. I then put in some rock work and driftwood...

Yea it seems like a toss up. Really it will come down to the size of each available at the LFS... if I’ve got 1/4” RCS in with 1” DP, obviously we know how that story will go. Good input though. Much appreciated!

In the middle of the process. The numbers are water after it’s been in the tank for a bit with driftwood, but before I added the Co2. I am going to do a full spectrum water test tonight. For the past week I have just been monitoring Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates. Good idea though to test the...

Fair enough. Currently in the middle of 50% change. Thanks for your help! I'll give an update in the near future!

Okay I will start changing more of the water...Would it be beneficial to add more bacterial supplement or nitrifying bacteria? (the latter of which I have not used at all yet).

Oh also the cory's were .5"

1) -2 Green Tiger Barbs (<1") -2 Albino Tiger Barbs (<1") -2 Tiger Barbs (<1") -4 Peppered Corys *Yes I realized I overstocked... I had planned to limit to five but the employee said as long as I upgrade to a large tank within the six months (which I still plan on doing), it...
