Snails are not leaving. That was someone else commenting. I have a 55 gallon bow front set up for 7 years I have 2 hob filters. I use the master kit. I gravel vac every couple days and I barely get anything. Filters I just completely put New in a couple days ago. Yes I rinse them in old water. I discovered my light was going bad. I just replaced with full spectrum led. 2 days ago. Water change every week in the winter it evaporates a lot so I add instead of changing once in a while. I will get a picture.
I have 2 fish 3 shrimp and 4 snails. The 2 snails just love to be above the water during the day. The other 2 stay in the water. I have all glass top. These pads had to be changed they were falling apart. No live plants. Our lfs suck here for plants. I have a timer for my light. Yes I do water changes. Like I said in the winter I have to top up and water change. Some weeks. I used to have 5 tanks before we moved and now just this one. I'm trying to find space to set up more lol. I have tons of stuff just sitting in the attic. some day soon I hope.
Mostly dead plants are great! I just got two tissue culture plants for $1 each because I took them up to the counter and asked to have them cheap or for free. Usually they would just defect them out, so it saves the trouble.They have plants but every one I look at isn't worth the money they are usually mostly dead. That's why I haven't had plants in years. On a side note I have a small greenhouse I sell plants for a living and hopefully next summer I'm expanding so I will be able to get bulk shipments of water plants etc.
