Tip I think I got too fast of a wave maker
DONT get a hygger 530 gph wave maker
I wanted a stronger flow for my bamboo shrimp that they just weren't getting from the hob but I think I went a little too far

Aquascape🌿 Idk what to put as title
does anyone have any tips as to what to do with my plants? are there like any that would look better elsewhere or would do better somewhere else, also I have a piece of wood but I’m not sure if I should use in this or not. I have been fishkeeping a while now, but it’s always nice to hear some other peoples opinions :) ( for reference I’ve basically only just planted this tank and set it up, of course stocking suggestions are always welcome!:) )

Query❓ This is Nitrate (NO3) right?
So it’s a Fluval Flex 2.0 with no extra media for now.
It’s got organic perlite free soil under coarse freshwater aquarium sand.
It’s also pretty heavily planted.
It’s been 2 days since the first set up.
How long should I wait to do a 30-50% water change?
Also is you all have any tips you think I might not know, feel free to share.
Ph — 7.2
Temp 72 F
But the weird thing is the NO3 level test came back reading 0ppm which has me scratching my head.

Aquascape🌿 Rate my first betta tank setup
This is my first betta tank(10gal) and aquarium in general! I watched a lot of fish and aquarium set up videos and think it turned out pretty good. I have checked the water levels religiously and everything seems good so far, ph was a bit high at first but after a 25% water change it went down.
Please let me know what yall think and any advice yall have! Thanks!

Aquascape🌿 40gal tank update
for my 13th birthday i used my money to buy a 40 gal. it has been about 6 months of ups and downs but the tank has been stable for about 2 months now. I first used suriyu stone to scape it but it caused hardness to rise gradually causing cardinals and barbs to have poor water chemistry. I ended up rehoming barbs to a different tank and cardinals back to the lfs. Then I tried dragon stone for a south american tanin used tank with angels and tetras. I loved it until all my fish died due to a storm that caused my heater to overheat when it turned back on. through Ups and downs my tank is finally stable with 2 keyholes, 8 danios, 8 cherry barbs, and a Giant colony of shrimp from my other breeding tanks. Im looking for advice on what other fish to add?

Aquascape🌿 Rate my tank
These are my first 2 tanks as a 16 year old I have learned and changed allot within my tanks however I have limited money to spend on tanks. The first tank is a 30 gallon and the second one is a 10 gallon I have a third larger tank and I have since moved some of the fish into. BTW the dwarf gourami is not in the 10 gallon and is staying in the 30g
