SDIESEL77 AQUASCAPER 900 DIARY

Nice tank, I was contemplating this or a 1200, I recently shut down my reefer250 which is a similar size to the 900. Its just the 2ft width of the 1200 actually takes up a lot of room
 
I'll get a single assassin snail tomorrow

or a Betta or Apistogramma or Ram ... :)
(as long as not overfed quite a lot of fish will clean up snails)

or just give’em a squash ;)

Tanks looks good :cool:
though if not planning on sand sifters, I’d reduce the sand depth, definitely give it a bit of a shuffle during water changes

I got just in case a single assassin snail this morning.

Blue Ram would eat pest snails?
I have a pair in my old tank that I'm planning to move soon to this new one.

Not planning any sand shifter, is this an issue to keep this level of sand?
 
More plants, more fish (Otto, ember tetra) added
First trim and replant.
These ones are growing super fast:
- Ludwigia sp. mini super red
- Pogostemon stellata
- Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig'
- Hydrocotyle tripartita 'Japan'

Nice. :)

Syphon some of the cosmetic sand out like alto suggested. It’s cosmetic so don’t need it that deep. It’ll only create dead spots.

Yes an established trident on wood would look good where you circled on the photo.
 
My tanks with the fish I mentione are always apparently “snail free” ... unless I move out these fish - then after some weeks I’ll see the first baby ramshorn snails (which are ubiquitous in local shops/tanks)
BUT I feed lightly & usually include a weekly “fast day”
I also feed mostly frozen foods
 
I noticed that my sand is becoming browning in some places and that it is probably due to not enough move there.
I added a power head last month however it doesn't seem to help much. I currently do not have any fish moving the sand.
Would you recommend some that wouldn't mess up the substrate? I m thinking of maybe Corydoras Habrosus, wdyt?

I am now running the Twinstar 900S at 100%, 8h daily (including ramping up and down times of 30min)

Please provide explanations about the method of changing the aquarium and the items you used to explain or the video.
Thanks buddy
Quite simple, here are the elements used:
Water Container of 20L
Pump Oase Optimax 3000
Basic remote control electric plug connected to the pump
8meters tubing to go from the container in my kitchen sink to the aquarium
JBL InFlow set going in the tank connected to the tubing

Method:
Put the container in the kitchen sink
pump in container plugged to electricity via electric remote control plug
pump connected to 8m tubing
tubing going into the tank with JBL inFlow set in order to not disturb soil/substrate
Set the right water temperature with your kitchen tap (by feeling by hand or with a thermometer)
When the water reach a good level in the container
Go near the tank to monitor the water going in and press the remote that will switch on the pump in the container
Put the relevant amount of dechlorinator liquid in the tank
When reaching required water in the tank, stop the pump with the remote

Quite simple and easy :)
