Thank you, it's just a 20 gallon. One of Top Fin's breeder tank setups. I've got a 3gal cube next to it, and two 1gal jars for growing Vallisneria and a 10 gallon cycling...it's NOT ready yet. 😹

Unfertilized garden soil (I had originally intended for them to have shrimp), inert sand on top, shove them in, ghost feed a few times.
I harvested from the left jar once already to get some for a local business that hired me to care for their tank (it's literally the same exact 20 gallon I have 😹).
A photo of 2 gallon glass jars next to a fish tank on a table. They're both planted jars with vallisneria growing in them. The right jar is sealed and the left is open. The open jar is SIGNIFICANTLY more grown in.

fish tank update, 4 months since I first filled it with water, about 3 months since most of the plants went in. When I started an employee at my LFS told me to take the whole thing apart and redo it with aquasoil because the plant roots won't be able to grow through sand... I think he was wrong.
55 gallon aquarium with assorted plants throughout including long grassy vallisneria lining the background. The center has 2 wooden branches crossing in an x shape with large River rocks below them and a sand base. The water is lightly tinted with tannins leached from the wood. A school of ember tetras swim through the middle of the tank with a honey Grammy hiding in the vallisneria background.

Aquariums: New nano tank

https://www.flakefood.com/918418/aquariums-new-nano-tank-2/

Set up this new nano two days ago. 30L (29×29×35 cm) / 8g (11,4×11,4×13,7in). The water is still a bit cloudy. Vallisneria gigantea in the back, Anubias lanceolata scattered around, and Anubias nana and …

tryna not workpost much but I believe I have the core of the layout of the 65g and a plan to use jungle vallisneria to fill the "wall side" of the tank as I am calling it and do a gentle slope of substrate to give it a beach seafloor kinda vibe. Jungle val and an amazon sword

Aquariums: Overgrown?

https://www.flakefood.com/911316/aquariums-overgrown/

I decided to let the vallisneria grow for a more natural look, and while it does look good, it is a pain to maintain. Should i trim? Rearrange? Posted by P0pc0rnpi

Just saw one again because the vallisneria have thinned out so much.

Looks like I still have at least 1 kuhli loach in the 450L aquarium.

So cute.

☁️ Hyphessobrycon amandae or Ember Tetras and Corydoras pygmaeus (pygmy cory)

the plants include various vallisneria , Anubias , Juncus Repens, duckweed, and giant duckweed (at the tops floating) and a few others

the addition of the duckweed caused a minor algae bloom that is currently subsiding

Vallisneria pollination can resemble a tiny surface voyage: male flowers detach, float away, and meet female flowers held at the waterline on long stalks. #Vallisneria #PlantedTank #AquariumPlants
Tiny male Vallisneria flowers floating across the surface toward a female flower held on a long stalk. Text says the flowers sail to pollinate.

Bill got two new plants. Now I just need to either fill out the left side or maybe the vallisneria will finally grow

The top of the 20 was getting REALLY overgrown and I wanted to set up the little nano cube @lykiosarealwolf.bsky.social had sitting aside. Got it cleaned and filled then planted it full of different stems, then replanted the pennywort in the 20 after pulling it off the surface and rinsing off algae.
A wide angle photo of the counter behind my sink. On the right is the 20 gallon I have heavily planted. I took almost all of the Pennywort that was growing on the top and planted it since it grows both planted and floating. There's two gallon jar tanks to the left of it that are both planted with dwarf babytears and jungle vallisneria. Finally there's the new nano cube on the far left end. I believe it's three gallons. There's a heavy sand layer and a large chunk of driftwood placed in the center. I've planted various stem plants in it. They should grow to the water's surface eventually and fan out to provide some cover. Only the 20 gallon on the right has fish. While the jars are established, they're too small for more than one or two nano fish or shrimp/crabs and I apparently can't keep those alive so I'm waiting to see what I want to put in them. I'm likely going to use the cube to put my guppy and her mate in since she's pregnant and about to pop and I don't want all of her babies getting eaten. Some is fine, but not all of them.

Updates on aquarium set up:
Day 2 of Crystalwort and vallisneria still floating up top, waiting for Val to grow.
Anubis hasn’t changed, not melted but not grown. Giant hair grass seems to be growing at the top, but will trim and see how that goes.
Waiting for dwarf hair grass to spread before shrimp

The word #aythya refers to sea-dwelling duck and #valisineria comes from the wild celery (Vallisneria americana), whose winter buds and #rhizomes are the #canvasback's preferred food during the nonbreeding period.

I wish the LFS here had more interesting plants. Give me some Jungle Vallisneria, an African Onion, maybe even some type of Lilly Pad?

I love the overgrown vibe of my tank, but it is so hard to scape something aesthetically pleasing when all the plants easily accessible to me look the same!

I don't supplement CO2 in my aquarium, so it is a limiting factor for the plants in there, as it is in many aquatic ecosystems. For a long time, the tapegrass Vallisneria spiralis dominated in the tank. Its cheat code is that it can use bicarbonate (HCO3-) as a […]

[Original post on scicomm.xyz]
My aquarium early this year. It is stuffed with Vallisneria spiralis filling half the tank, like a long head of green hair My aquarium today from above. Large 5 inch leaves of my aquarium lily are covering half the surface. They are green or pink in color. A new leaf is unfurling right below the waters surface

Yo #aquascaping crew!

I came home today and all of my corkscrew vallisneria is dying?! At the same time?!

I did add some Excel to the tank with a syringe to spot treat some BBA. That's all thats changed. All parameters good. Only thing i can think of is the substrate isn't the best?

Yeah the substrate is a little fucked since I got it all set up and then realized the sand I used was beach sand! I did my best to remove as much as I could and sealed it with pool filter sand, but I do think it's affect the vallisneria in the back since it's so alkaline.
