what's in the QT?

[clm08k]

put the heater vertical. It's in the middle of the tank.



frayed edges

should I trim the shriveled leaves off?







Da f*** is this? Not an anubias nana. or at least a live one.RIP nanas.


Light set up. I need to figure out a way to make a holder for the light to stand up. Currently using H clips?

not very stable. Temporary fix. Any ideas on what to make to hold the light up?

looks thick, but the light is about an inch wide. extra 1/2 inch on each side for the reflector.

Cant wait for the big day that you can add poly

Current stats: pH 7.6 , ammonia: 0, nitrite 0, nitrate: 15ppm..maybe 20ppm.

Is this a high level for nitrate given my stock:

current stock is:
2 parrot fish,
4 zebra danios,
3 glolight danios.

CAN I GET THE POLYS NOWWWWW? please haha.

weird. Okay. lol. Yeah I know this might be hard to believe, but I'm not a natural botanist. I trust your plant skills! I dug them up and found this:

yeah its hard to type in a Scottish accent. any anubias should not have the thick green part buried.

Amazon sword= the ultimate beginner plant

Yeah, Vals and swords are planted in the substrate. Anubias and java ferns not. You can tie them to a rock or DW to look like they're planted though!

Cut leaves that aren't mostly whole like this one. Cut as close to the base as you can with sharp scissors.


Or anything that looks melted like the curvy one here. You can cut just below the melted spot, not nec. The whole leaf unless it all looks sad.




I personally wouldn't worry about the frayed edges of the vals.

I wish I could help with the light mount, but mine have come with legs/feet.
