I know it is odd to post planted tank projects on a reef forum lol, but have really enjoyed this community. I just recently switched over to freshwater planted from reef tanks this past Friday as I no longer am able to keep with the even the simple weekly maintenance required due to things happening. My main tank which is a 5g planted tank has had a rocky start with algae and almost complete die off, has now been doing great.
As you can see this tank is becoming successful. My new build I just setup Saturday/ Sunday. I had many aggravated moments with the 2.5g from not anchoring the wood properly and floating, to not being able to find the right placement. this took me almost 2 days to setup with everything else I had to do. But was finally successful. will still need a bit of tweaking.
Once I know the cycle is complete or if there is one, I will add a few shrimp and a few fish. looking at dwarf pencil fish that dont grow over an inch and maybe small oto suckerfish depending on how shrimp do.
