I’ve had this tank for about 9 months now. While it’s been very beautiful, my background has been rough. First it was a simple foggy-glass film. Then I removed that to try to add a white one, which only looked worse.
But finally, I was able to afford a dream item - a lightscreen.
And damn, the difference is insane lol. It may show off the algae more, but it really makes the colors pop.
Damn. That's wild and I like the idea of canister filters. I've never used one but I like it taking up less space since sponges definitely use space and are hard to hide. I switched to HOB filters but they require cartridge changes and I don't like the subscription type cost they try to suck you into.
I think I'm gonna look more into a canister system. I really like your tank and the setup looks fantastic. I can show you my tank but it's fresh so the plants haven't filled in as much as I'd like.
How do I attach images?
Yeah so far I am enjoying the canister filter. It’s very quiet as well, which is nice. Though it is a bigger task to clean every few months.
And thanks :) I recommend looking into them, if you can afford one.
To share an image (at least on mobile) when you’re typing, see the option bar with the usual bold, italics, etc? Scroll that bar to the side. Should be an image option.
