Hi, this is last update of this tank before resetting. I still have all my tanks. I'll get in the rhythm of making videos again. I also started new projects.
I don’t know if you remember, but the bettas didn’t make it b/c they ate too much shrimp and it caused constipation. This was my poor judgement in fish selection. I’ll try to do better.
Also, remember, there was toxic water crises that I went through b/c of the very old water pipes in this building that was eventually solved by installing water filters under the faucet.
One tetra still remains. I hope I can save her in the reset.

(*The most important part is the salinity and temperature. At room temperature, it might take 48 hours to hatch. At Higher the temps, they might hatch in less than 24 hours.)
(*For salinity, I’m going by the 1 table spoon per liter rule. However, depending on the salt, you might want to try up to 2 table spoons.)

(I use deep sea salt, but I think other salts will work, too. Something like aquarium salt.)

The plants in this tank now:
Micro sword [ Ссылка ] – Still hanging on.
Pygmy chain sword [ Ссылка ] - It stayed very short and small and sent out lots of runners.
Glosso [ Ссылка ] – They have sent out lots runners. It’s staying very small and low to the ground.
Java moss [ Ссылка ] – The ones on the rock are doing well. The ones below the water surface are also doing well
Staurogyne repens [ Ссылка ] – It’s doing just OK. It is a slow grower it seems.
Giant Duckweed [ Ссылка ] - It grows very fast in this tank.
This is a Walstad Method tank. Check out her book in the link below if interested. The book I read to make this aquarium:
