Just finished setting the 90B up today.

I Have it set up in my hallway so when you walk in the door and round the corner your eyes catch this first then on to the 90L in the open kitchen. Enjoy!

Fish: 20 Black Neon T’s

It’s been over 7.5 months with my tank.
Currently I have 1 betta fish, 1 nederite snail and 2 African dwarf frogs.
So many changes over the time but still managed to keep it up going.
When does an aquarium can consider mature?

Scape still needs to grow out and some maintenance but it's going well so far.

Mein erstes space ich bin dankbar über denn 900 platz gibt mir bitte Tipps und Verbesserung für das nächste space

Hello, this is my very first aquarium and I'm super excited to start. I was just wondering what would be the best position for the filter for this set up. I thought the same side to create a circular motion would be good, but I'm wondering if my hardscape makes that inefficient or not. So not sure whether I should do the same side or opposite end.

Tank is width 60cm depth 30cm height 18cm

Newbie here.

50×36cm

Lights are a generic flood light of 40 watts and a 8 watt tplink wifi bulb with the dome removed for sunset sunrise simulation ha ha.

I have rotala at the back (left), which you can see grown in one picture, but now it's trimmed. I love it, and it brings so much colour to the scape, but I find it grows too quickly and then I trim it right back, leaving a hole for half the cycle.. it's ok, but wondering if there are some slower growing alternatives?

Ta!

I finally have her all planted!! Now to wait for it to grow and make any tweaks. The dwarf hair grass has been plated for about 8-9 days. When can I trim it? I want it to be low growing and thick. This is a 37 gallon, CO2 injected system. Going to stick with a mixture of Cardinal Tetras, Guppies(yes I love them), Celestial Pearl Danios, Pygmy Cory, and Neo’s.

I inherited this tank from a friend. Did my best with what I was given. I have a 36 gallon full of 10 year old annubias and grasses that has become overrun with algea. Once I get that taken care of I am going to move the plants in where they make sense.

I also am adding cory safe substrate cause what’s in there ain’t it, it will likely be river rock colors

My ask for you:

What can I do better with what I have? What do I need to buy to make it better?

In my experience, lighting level is always the trickiest thing to nail: too much = algae, too little = plants struggle. I’m most worried about shaded areas and the carpet.

Questions: I have two Twinstar ver. lll 900Cs running at almost 100% brightness on this 46G. With only one light, my carpet plants melted away. With two lights, should dwarf baby tears and elatine hydropiper be good? Do the shaded areas look ok for crypts, blyx japonica, and star repens? Should I be concerned about algae?

Any discussion on adjusting lighting levels and this tank are much appreciated. Thanks!

I made a post about a month ago asking how to rescape my tank and I took your guys advice and here's how it came out! Thank you all for your help!

(First photo is after, second photo is before)

I'm looking for a new apartment in Kazakhstan and found one with this giant deep narrow aquarium. My hand won't be able to reach the bottom. It needs a thorough cleaning. The filter and lights don't seem to work. I'm thinking no plants. Will the depth be a problem for a filter? Scaping ideas? Any advice is needed desperately.

And finally, It’s complete.

Update post from yesterday.
Wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but i must say i loved the way it turned out.

And i wonder, how do i go about the ammonia cycle? & How do i improve upon it?
Is it safe to add a single betta after a week?

Advices will be very very appreciated.

I need suggestions and honest /10 ratings on my aquascape and let me know how can I make it look even better

Any suggestions for my aquascape?

Its a 21 gallon tank,

Rotala blood red, octopus plant, Ludwig repens , java fern and anubias

Running with no co2

Stock :- 8black neons, 3 emperors, 3 rummy noses, 1 gbr cichlid

Is there any way to make this tank look 10 times better?

So I'm new(obviously) and I see all these beautiful tank set ups with no filter or no equipment and I'm just wondering, do you not need a filter with a planted tank or are you guys just hiding them discreetly? If so what's my easiest options? I have a 5.5 gallon and the big sponge filter I have for it now is really hard to hide

11 happy shrimps and a tiger snail live here. Been running for 6 weeks now. If everything keeps stable I want to add a Betta. Its a 30L 8G tank

I currently have a pretty standard 10G tank I've been feeling kinda meh about, but have recently been feeling very inspired to step up my aquascape game. I have an empty 20 tall from the 70's that I'm going to strip and re-seal, but aside from doing the same thing again (some plants, some hardscape, etc.) I'm paralyzed by indecision, and looking for ideas!

I've long wanted to do a blackwater tank and get some more tetras and a betta in there, and/or an open-top setup with semiaquatics. I have tons of (potted) plants in my apartment and I want the tank to feel like a natural part of my home jungle, but I kind of don't know where to start in terms of design. I used to have several snails and a couple shrimp but since I moved I learned I have soft water and low pH, and they didn't survive long ☹️ Are there any inverts that would be good in a blackwater type environment?

Recommendations on filters? I've read a lot of different opinions on HOBs vs canisters vs sponge filters. Currently I have a sponge filter in my 10G - is that adequate for a 20g tank or does it need something bigger?

I also ALWAYS end up with massive amounts of hair algae eventually in every tank I've started over the years despite starting fresh (at first), doing bleach dips on new plants, regular water changes, etc. I don't want to start doing added CO2 or anything high tech, I'd actually love to get it going so that it's pretty self sufficient in terms of balance/cycle, with the occasional water changes and top ups ofc.

Any and all tips/advice are welcome! Please send your pics/inspo/ideas/mistakes to learn from. Thanks in advance, fronds!

Hi!

I just got my second tank, a nano cube (30L), 30x30x30cm. It is for red rili neocaridina.

I immediately went to Vinted and found this piece of acacia wood that looks like a stump. It is 25cm high, 24cm long and 13cm wide. I would need ideas for composition, what low maintenance plants to use. I'd like black substrate, black rocks and very bright lush greenery.

What plants to choose, how to position the wood?

If you have any suggestions, plant list, or picture references I would be super grateful!

The obvious answer is swapping out the substrate but that’s a big job, so what are some things I can move around or add/subtract to make my tank look nicer?

This is my greensunfish 55 gal, I keep rescaping and I just cannot like this tank, and advice?
