My mom doesn't kpkb if I keep the waste water for her plants.
Downside is I run out of buckets to top up my tanks.

Looking at low water change set-ups. But guppies are prolific breeders. I cycled the tank with mollies which had an anchorworm outbreak. Dosed and killed those... Killed those bladder snails at same time.
my primary nitrate controller is duckweed. My canister filter does help with the nitrite/ammonia.
Has like a mix of lava rock, ceramic rings and some matrix filling up the 2/3 baskets

Redo the crab tank as the sand made it kinda messy and stink... :s22:

Put in some more stones to create hiding spots for the crabs. Think they prefer it more. . :s13:

Aaaaa....good old duckweed, I like. One LFS gave me a bit free, manages to make a bunch before the snails tekan the weeds then weed out. It was a good journey.

Buy fish cannot be on impluse, fish look good then you buy. Catch fish must be gentle, left hand "chase and guide" the target, right hand control net. Gently guide the fish in, they can get injuried during catching.

We don't catch fish like monster hand. So do it gently. No water on the LFS floor or less water, means you are good at fishing the fish out. The word here is gently.

LFS owner also judge you by this standard. Usually, they know you experienced they more chatty with you.
