    Default My first planted tank

    As I have some more time during the corona isolation, I spent some time on planted tank.
    That’s my very first planted tank, so there will be some mistakes. For instance I need to change light to something smaller, or covering bulb better as it blinds if you look from some angle.

    Thoughts?

    Nice tank. Here’s a light I bought off eBay. $10 delivered. It’s made by aquaneet.F65A27AA-BA97-4C57-ACC0-0EDE842BF59A.jpg

    Nice tank. I also like the saying that you have framed over the tank.

    Nice, well done.
    During quarantine many people have time on things they wanted to do long time ago. I finally finished my research writing for https://customwritingz.net.

    Thanks ... tank changed a little bit. A big monstera plants has submerged roots and taking out all possible nitrates.
    Tank has also quite a few (50?) new habitats - red cherry shrimps which are breeding there like crazy.

    I did a water change last month and only add evaporated water once per week.
    ... ah and by betta and shrimps are feeding with beef heart mix.

    Tank looks great! You also got lucky. Bettas sometimes eat shrimp. I gave 20 to a friend to try with his betta and it ate all 20. Was swimming around with shrimp sticking out of its mouth. I’ve got 2 cherry shrimp tanks and regularly add them to my discus tank.

    It’s 5 weeks without a water change, cleaning glass ... I guess I did it 4 months ago I’m adding only evaporated water- and still no NO3, even if betta is on beef heart mix diet
