I used the 2 tablespoon method and then a little extra just to make sure but I wouldn't go over 4 tablespoons just to be safe ... ohh boy it worked like a charm I basically was trying to kill the bba on the crypts and killed some more bba on other parts of the tank I had no idea were there, the...

Yea no problem I figured this might be easier instead of spot treating make sure to read through all the steps and also mind your shrimp if you have any my amanos got through it though

I usually feed my shrimp once a day and I skip about one day out of the week If you were wondering how I feed them, I just crush a small pinch of fish flakes and spread it throughout the tank as best I can and once or twice a week I'll pop in a piece of a algae wafer and that's about it

Welcome :)... I took both your's and fort's advice and put the sword on the left back corner and built around there but left the red plants and crypts to the right ...here's what I came up with What do y'all think?

ohhh awesome tank FishingMouse! Thats 10 gallon right? bet you can't wait for those plants to fill in! :D I think I'll move the sword to the left back corner (thanks fort) and maybe put the red tiger lotus somewhere off set in the middle back area and disperse the rocks in between everything...

Thanks for the input! ... And thanks about my plants, they look much better than before to tell you the truth! I've been reading about using triangles, horizontal lines and all but unfortunately I don't think I got it down just yet :/ lol I would appreciate any suggestions on plant placement...
