My Aquascape

[Arclouvet]

This is the place where I will keep you all updated on my 20gal tank that is my plant nursery. I forgot everything that’s in it but I know for a fact there is Marimo Spheres, Java fern narrow leaf, Java fern. The hardscape is a lava rock tied to driftwood with flexi moss. There is a plant that I don’t remember stuck into it as well. Three large leaf plants that I don’t remember the name of. Red stems that remind me of thyme don’t remember their name either. Then I’m trying to revive a H. Corymbosa compacta. I’ll post photos.

I’m doing fishless with food in a baggie with a small hole I’ll be getting ammonia in a bottle. It’s been on and cycling since 2/6/2021 started with quick start conditioner for cholrine, old decorations and plants from the 15 gal.

Tonight’s test gh(250) no3 (0) no2 (0) cl2(0) kh(80) ph(6.8) ammo(0.2)

Just an FYI... API Quick Start is NOT a de-chlorinator. You need to use API Tap Water Conditioner. And that is all you need.

Okay I’m getting rather annoyed I’m told don’t use this or that it doesn’t do this or that when it says on the bottle it does and water tests of my treated water shows it does and like what’s the point of this forum if all you do is basically tell new hobbyist
You’re doing this all wrong it really makes me want to just take my fish to the store where they’ll just kill them because they’re from a home aquarium and quit altogether...
