I am creating this system with the intention of making it a community 20g. It will have more than adequate filtration with a HOB filter and a sponge filter as well as well. Also there will be a power head pumping water the the "grow bed" every 15 min.
This tank is over filtered and an...
I use nothing. But I have a breeder box that I use if a fish is being picked on a little too much. I have only seen the birth once, and it was by chance.
It's a 10g with ghost shrimp and snails as well as some of the guppies you see pictured.

Has anyone had any issues with an algae or mold that only grows on the silicone?
I don't have pics, but the tank I is 20g and still fish less cycling with a few live plants. There is a dense layer of brown mold or algae growing on only the silicone of the DIY background. Is this normal or natural?

So I have pretty poor tap water. No nitrates or ammonia. But the ph is 8.2-3. Also I'm pretty sure the alkalinity is high, but I have no way to test it.
I ask cause I am having tank issues. I can't seem to keep the tank healthy for more than a few days. I have had every problem in the book...
