Nice tank! I love the rimless tanks. I was going to get one untill it was going to cost me $547 to build :(

Excited to see the new build! You have some nice gear for it aswell [emoji106]

Welcome back!

Edit: how bigs the tank? 40g?
 
How are the bucket snails doing? Did you have a snailsplosion or did they dwindle?

I wouldn't dry start to be honest. Works great for nano's but I wouldn't do it in a larger tank.
Your better off just submerging and cranking the co2.

I dry started my HC Cuba in my 60g for 2 weeks and it hasn't grown at all since flooding the tank

OK got it thx excited and can't wait sucks with no tank :)
 
Lol seemed like I wasn't at one point but all is good jus waiting on the mini s an I'm ready to set up



Abit of a tip aswell. Make sure the fluval stratum is nice and deep. I found it a pain to plant in due to how light it is. When putting in stems with tweezers it all tended to push to the side and not fall back in and grip the stem. Also fish like otto's tend to pull shallow rooted plants out of it untill they get a good grip
 
Ordered some thrive+ all in one
1 pump for 10gls 3x a week
I still have alot of the PPS pro, thought I would try it out heard some good things about it especially from ADU
