Well, my plants finally came in. I now have a 30 gallon planted invert tank with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, Steady pH @ 7.8, and sand substrate.
I got Several Anubias, couple of Crypts, couple of african ferns, some java ferns, and some hornwort.
I also got my 2 olive nerite snails, who came looking BEAUTIFUL, and great shape. Already very active after just minutes.
I put in my 5 freshwater clams, and 4 burrowed within 30 seconds of being in the tank. All I see now are their little tongues flopping around The 5th is not burrowed, but has his tongue out. They were AMAZING to watch dig. VERY VERY VERY cool.
My 11 shrimp who have been in there are even happier now that it is planted... swimming all over the place.
I did a 15% PWC before I put the clams/snails/Plants in. Then added half a cap of flourish, and 3/5 cap of Prime.
I am planning on putting in 4 mollies tonight. YAY!
Thats the good... here is the bad... I need yall's expertise.
EDITED- Did a search and found the info. I needed.
1.) I have little yellow snails. I will do the cucumber on the bottom and throw it away for a couple weeks.
2.) I have a couple bugs. I will let my mollies eat them.

So, on that note, I want to upload a few pics, but I dont have a space to do it. Help on that? Then I will post pics of the tank/clams/shrimp/plants
