Actually the best betta tank I've ever done was a 22 long, 12 x 12 x 36
for a plakat anyway. He LOVED speeding up and down that thing. King of all he surveyed, surfing in the outflow current, bubble nests for days

The bowl has been moved into the new house! I've got black stone countertop and a similar backplash, and it makes the bowl absolutely POP in this kitchen:
A little overgrown!
At this point, 1mL of APT 3 per every 1 gallon isn't enough. Deficiencies are starting to show in older leaves. Probably K deficiency? lol if you know, you know.
I just need to trim and replant, and fertilize more.
Helanthium tenellum has completely carpeted, and is now circling the entire bowl with runners.
C
CRS constantly berried/pregnant, but no babies. I suspect the CPD's hunting them all down.
Where it started:
How it's going now:
Just gave it all a trim, will update with new photos in a few days!
Still just removing ~50% water, remineralizing incoming water to 30ppm Ca, total 8ppm Mg, and been dosing ~1.5mL of APT 3 per gallon water added. Stupid easy, no algae, just works.
