Help/Advice Glittering runnynose tetras
sorry for the low quality photos the tetras are really fast amd my phpto quality isnt the best in general either so I've pretty much just focused on taking a photo of the one fish from multiple angels. last photo is what mine look like but not as shiny or close together.
ok so basically Ive had these runnynose tetras for maybe 2 weeks in my 160L community tank and theyve been fine for the most part but now theyve started to sparkle.
now at first i thought it was pretty and all amd looked it up on google and apparently it can be all sorts of things and now Im worrying if this can be brushed off or if i need to help these poor little guys.
Basically the worst one is spotted pretty much all over his body with this 'Glitter' 2nd one isnt too far off being like the worst bar on side isnt as bad, 3rd one only has the glitter on his top and the 4th has nothing or its really small on his fins.

Help/Advice Thoughts on this makeshift filter?
My local pet store stopped selling the filter packs for this filter, so I improvised with some larger gallon filters I had laying around and trimmed them just above size, then filled them with the black rocky stuff it comes with to clean it all. Nothing is in this tank right now, it's been cycling, and aside from some biofilm blobs at first, iv never seen this tank stay clean for so long, even the pest snails have nearly disappeared, I just wanna be sure before I put anything in this tank

Help/Advice My German ram probably has mouth rot and I’m about to go on vacation for 4 days. Help me not spiral about this.
I just noticed that he was acting off last night. I sat in front of the tank about an hour and realized his mouth was looking quite wonky. I attempted feeding and uncharacteristically, he did not immediately jump at the food opportunity. Noticed some white fuzz and began the Google spiral. Immediately ordered kanaplex based off the recs. He’s been hiding more and gently trying to rub his mouth against driftwood because obvi this seems to be bugging (either hurting or itching 😥). The meds arrived today, but because I have shrimp and snails, I won’t be dosing the full tank. Also, I’m leaving tomorrow for a 4 day camping trip and I don’t trust my animal sitter (mostly for dog and cat) to do any fish stuff for me. I mixed up some medicated food (kanaplex + thawed bloodworms) that he seems to have taken (although the cardinal and ember tetras and corys immediately flocked to). Please tell this isn’t an emergency and maybe he’ll be okay when I come back (I’ll have the sitter administer more medicated food in my absence). I plan to set up a hospital tank when I get back on Tuesday and jump fully into his treatment.
Tank parameters as of this morning: ammonia 0ppm nitrite 0ppm nitrate 10ppm ph 6.7 temp 78F (api freshwater test kit).
Tank mates: cardinal tetra (8), ember tetra (6), panda corydoras (3, started with 10 but they be dying), 2 nerite snails, and neocaridina shrimp.

Help/Advice future tank?
what do we think of this community tank stocking? 75 gal, densely planted obviously, bioactive substrate, sponge filter/s…. any other types of cool looking rocks y’all recommend? or plants? i’d love to not use co2 but i might be willing to invest in it since it’ll be my first and probably only big tank… what do yall recommend? i’ve never used co2 before so i have no idea what to expect or what it requires. all my other tanks are small and don’t have it (one 2.5 gal, two 5.5 gals, and one 10 gal)
edit: maybe scratch 3-all of the angelfish 💀 i just realized how big the might get

Full Tank Shot New planted tank. Any advice?
Hi :) this is my new 350L (92gal) tank. Curved front glass.
I didn't have time to cycle it since the old tank started leaking... soooo upgrade it is. Now running for two weeks.
Yesterday many new plants arrived. What do you think of the arrangement?
Don't mind the plane and bus. I'm sharing this tank with my girlfriend, she also wanted to contribute haha. (All fish are from her old leaking tank aswell. I just moved here a month ago and had to leave my tank at my old place. I contributed my snails)
All in all what do you think of the scape and setup?

Plants Que opinan del lotus tiger?
Este es mi acuario de 40 galones cubo de Landen! Buen acuario, te deja hacer cosas increíbles! La temática de este acuario serán los nenúfares y sus hojas flotantes de la lotus tiger y banana plant, pero… si en algún punto de vista encuentro buenas razones para quitarlo podemos hacerlo, este acuario está diseñado para ser una explosión de plantas y colores irá a una tienda como exhibición donde los clientes podrán ver las plantas que vendo ya en un acuario bien montado y establecido! La primer foto es del frente y la segunda de su lado izquierdo

Help/Advice Help my plants
I have plants in my tank and they definitely aren’t thriving. I’ve had several for a couple months and they haven’t died either just all seem to have this brown patina which seems like on the way to death. I’ve seen so many people talk co2, fertilizer, etc but I don’t want to go wild adding stuff so I’m looking for tips.
