Lovely gourami mate

Thank you thank you! I love him a lot. He is the first gourami I've ever had. I think I will probably always have one.

Its nicely planted and has a good depth to the tank overall, very nice!

Thank you! Its my first fully planted tank and it took a few transformations to get it how it looks today. It was definitely worth the work, I love this tank and learned a lot from it

55 G Test / Mechanical vs Plant Filters

Attached is a pic of a 55 G with 150 Fancy Guppies and a dozen or more assorted Corydoras and associated fry, mostly smaller varieties of Corys like Pandas and Orange Saddles. Plus pics of the land plants. (Excuse the poor photos!)

Used to filter the tank with a single Hagen AC 70 and nitrates tested at 20 ppm, with large, weekly water changes, of at least 50 percent. Removed the mechanical filtration and emersed some land plants in the tank. Within a few days the nitrates were down to a trace. This morning's nitrate test shows "0". Tank now requires no water changes, just twice weekly top offs of a couple of gallons.

Apparently, the roots of the emersed plants take in nitrogens more efficiently than mechanical filtration and return water that's cleaner.

Guess I'll no longer go to the effort and expense of maintaining mechanical filtration, just spend a little time trimming the plants.

Way overstocked

 

[BBradbury]

Overstocked???

Way overstocked

Hello b...

Possibly. But, the water chemistry tests would say otherwise, "0" readings for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates
