looks nice!

i just redid my 10g went the whole way with rewashing substate to get copper out and stuff and bought a few guppies. then they started dieing. then when i wake up the next day all the guppies and 3 shrimp look really bad. i decide i should test for amonia! when i did it was off the charts! so i took rashinal action. i moved the shrimps and fish to my 55g. and added a good sized cup of the substraight from the 55g to the 10g. 3 days later amonia reads 0. and this was a planted tank. i thought i didnt need to worry about "cycling" because plants are loaded up with benifical bacteria? well maybe thats usually the case.

maybe the same thing has happened to you check your amonia lvls.

hopefully you will pull thru!
