Algae on the rocks diminished, introduced some Red Fire and Neon Yellow shrimps, they're doing a good job...
I'm a bit worried about the my Oto, it has redness around its mouth. Did some research, it seems I'm not the only one having this problem... Hope he'll be ok... Still doing 20% water changes every 2 days...
Checked water today: All parameters are good except ph, it's a bit low, will reduce CO2 injection.
There's a bit of cloudiness, don't know why, maybe its the shrimp food dissolving, my feeding dish will be arriving soon. Hopefully it will help...
Shrimps seem happy...

So far so good... You can see the little improvement from previous week.. Little is a whole lot better than none
Wow that is awesome to see your Dwarf Hair Grass growing that well. I just got some new ones in today and I'm really hoping I have similar results. I still have to wait another few days until I get my lights though.
It looks really good. I think you're very close to where it will explode in growth as all those new shoots reach the surface. Have you considered trimming back what you have now to push the plant to make new growth? It's hard to do, but does seem to speed things along.
Will you keep it shrimp and otos or be adding any additional fish?
Thanks guys, I just bought these DHG at petsmart, they are topfin brand... I just read Frank's journal and followed the basics, e.g water changes using RODI water...
I'm just thinking of letting things be and wait, I don't want to throw things out of balance, not sure if trimming would do so, but I just don't want to mess things up right now... :smile:
For Fauna, I think these would do right now, not sure if the filter can handle more...
Since my tank has two colors of shrimps, I don't know what the babies will look like... :icon_sad: others said if they cross-bred then the color would be tan...:icon_sad:
