Hey everyone. My first tank, I researched for several weeks and went with kind of a hybrid idea: father fish inspired fertilized 1inch substrate and bogart inspired 3 inch deep UGF. The unifying goal here is to get a more natural style ecosystem tank going, with the minimum amount of water...

FTS as of 10/20/2023: hey everyone! I wanted to post some pics of my new 75 gallon I set up. It's the largest tank I've ever personally owned, but I've been taking care of aquariums for several years now. I will be transferring all the contents of my planted 40 gallon into the new 75. I will...
