I haven't introduced live food into my tank. Tank has been cycled and just recently started stocking, friend told me it's weird to have worms in a fairly new tank. I really don't know where they came from. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I let the new one soak in water before replacing and I keep this media above the bio-balls. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Update: I see white/clear-ish growing on my driftwood. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Water looks like a mild tea, it's brownish. Both are from a previous set up. I had them stored in plastic bags. My substrate is also from a previous set up, it was stored in 5 gal buckets and sealed. Rinsed both driftwood and substrate before adding to this new tank. Sub and wood were about 1yr...

Thank you Raymond, I think I will do that. I thought it would slowly lower with the driftwood but it's still the same. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello, So I've decided to go back into the planted aquarium hobby. It's been only 5 years so I still remember something's but it's just all a bit rusty. So I set up my tank yesterday and of course have it running so I can cycle. My question is if I saved my substrate in a bucket from 5 years...

Oh crazy. I will. Thank you!

Work up to an armada of mystery snails. Noticed snail eggs on my driftwood. Buying 3 Assassin snails today to start of. Will prob only add a total of 6-7 for my 75g tall tank. Will my inca gold snail be ok with these assassins or should I re home while the assassins handle the mystery snails?

Weird part is that the fish looks healthy and swimming around like nothing. I'm keeping an eye on it though.
