i jumped into this and feel like i've already messed up haha.
i just got Walstad's book but am not completely sure how to adapt it to a nano. i'm getting the sense I should add more plants? so far there's a java fern, moss, and a crypt
added some alder cones yesterday and the plants are arriving in the mail today ✨
I'm getting the sense I should be trimming them to shape them better?
2.5 Gallon!
I'm going to put in a plant in the next week -- not sure which one...
Plan right now is plants and one nerite snail
any shrimp sellers? :)
Hey Happy Friday :)
I'm getting back into nanos and have a 2.5 in the mail 🥹
I'm looking at substrate options. I don't want to have to store a large volume of extra substrate in the apartment -- any recs for where to get just a small volume of it?
I feel like this is the place to go for blue-green algae resources, srs!
It spent the first part of its life in a dark apartment, and now it has light, and I think this is why it's so top heavy.
I asked AI and it suggested to cut off the top and re-propagate, but.. do I have to?
I've also been severely under-watering until recently. I'm wondering if watering more regularly will help it fill out.
