looks like a great start. Only thing i can suggest is to put a prefilter on the intake of the hob. i finally mounted a new one after trying 2 different ones, two of which were DYI stainless steel versions which repeatedly clogged and drove me bonkers. The ATI Filter Max III works perfectly on my AC110 and AC70 on my 20g high tanks.

The prefilter lays on the ground right now and has been in the tank since day 1. Just took it off because there is still some junk so its gets ducked up better so far the filter works fine, might just need to replace the carbon to help clearing up the water

Little Update:

Found some white little "worms" in the tank, any idea what they could be?

 

[CheyLillymama22]

Could be planaria.
Maybe detritus worms. Get some dewormer. I used fenbendazole with great success

2nd that^

Their head is definitely not triangle shaped. I made a few water changes and they are less now.

I moved my Zebra Danios into the 20 gal yesterday to get it finally cycled. The readings were safe for fish, and i feel a little bit better with that than adding Ammonia. Now it just needs to get ready for the shrimplets...

Made another water change today and it looks pretty good, all cleared up and all... Will add another picture later

What type of fenbendazole should I use? Safe-guard? Can you guys recommend this or another one and a dosage and for how long? If I read that right, it won't harm fish or plants, right?

 

[Dina-Angel]

That was the last thing i needed

Now i gotta transfer everything into my 10 gal and trade the 20 in for a new one and start all over again So sad

 

[TankYouVeryMuch]

What happened!?!

 

[Dina-Angel]

I have no clue. Made a water change and saw this all of a sudden. It wasn't there before last week, that is for sure. Maybe there was already i tiny crack and it got bigger over the time, not sure. It is not leaking yet but i don't trust it at all... So now i gotta get everything moved...

 

[Dina-Angel]

Updated picture

It is really filling in nice i think...

 

[Dina-Angel]

Plants are growing decent, bulbs are coming in as well... Will be ready for the shrimp soon

 

[Dina-Angel]

The tank got reorganized and has the first inhabitants in since 2 days ago... It is so exciting

 

[Dina-Angel]

Well, this thread can be closed since there are no replies coming anymore and nobody is interested. Don't want to waste mine and your time with that

Thank you everybody for the help i got here

 

[harsaphes]

Well. I just stumbled upon this and really like the look and how its going. Sometimes it takes a few for people to respond.

 

[Dina-Angel]

Yeah i guess so... And there are soooo many posts out with pictures about tanks... Just did not expect it would be that slow...

And thank you!

Checked my water parameters today, anything to worry about?

PH 7.6
Ammonia 0.25 ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Nitrate 5 ppm
GH 9
KH 4

Doing right now 20% water change weekly. Too much or not enough? Touching up once a week and adding Prime afterwards.

Anything i can do better? Shrimp seem to be fine, but i saw one swimming around like it was drunk, but as soon as it sat down somewhere it seemed fine. Found 1 molt today, no dead ones so far, but never see all 7, tough to find these little guys

 

[TankYouVeryMuch]

yeah youll want to get that ammonia down

 

[Dina-Angel]

Any suggestion for a safe way for the shrimp?
