That second pic with the purple stem is sweet! Rotala sp?
Epic gda! Wonder how portly an otocinclus could get in there?

Not sure which one youāre looking at there.That second pic with the purple stem is sweet! Rotala sp?

Anyway I caved in and started the breakdown. Pulled all the native/rare stuff to clean up and keep quarantined until I can get the tank sorted and the Biomaster swapped over. H2O2 bath for now.
Will scoop out most of the substrate and use it for an emersed plant substrate mix. Going to give the classic safe-t-sorb a try this time around.
What did you use in the first version? For the sub

Fluval stratum. We had a good run. I donāt think itās as terrible as reported but i donāt have any alternate reference other than blasting media.

We move into the kitty litter era.
Man this Biomaster2 600 kicks. Looking forward pumping out some natives again.

You see complaints about the Biomaster flow but yeah, a 600 on a 22g tank will be like a Florida hurricane.

lol yea and thereās a filtosmart 100 on the opposite side.
Trying to plan out a yugang reactor now for behind the tank.

Itās Safe T Sorb

Bad news bear is here to tell you that charging your safe t sorb is not really a suggestion.
Will be resetting, tilling, and flushing it with tap water to make sure itās completely saturated.
A more appealing update involves a fresh co2 tank and ditching the Fluval nano. Such a good feeling. The light is an Amazon special from some fleeting no-name brand liquidation, but itās actually pretty decent. All RGB diodes, Bluetooth control, and a power output of about 30watts. Really nice stand too. Have not spent too much time tweaking the spectrum yet but itās primarily just for growth. It has a telescoping optical lens to change the beam angle which is actually a pretty cool and useful feature.
So satisfying.

My 22 long is sitting behind me ready to be scaped as I look at the photo of yours. I'm covering it's eyes. 
Are those kids watching a plant identification video?
