    Treasure chest tank!

    So my 23g tank finally cycled and I was brainstorming ideas for the theme. I came up with sunken ship, with some ghost shrimp, and ghost catfish. Those two are the only two ghost fish I know of. Does anyone else know of any more or maybe some sunken ship themed fish ideas. This is my tank.

    Seachem question.

    Can seachem effect my nitrate levels? I just added some seachem to my 10g tank and not even realizing I should have tested the water before adding it. I have a nitrate reading of 5.0, but no nitrite levels.
