Genuine dislike for Bionix Water Test Kit

I bought this in Jan while setting up my new tank and in 5 months I’m going to have to buy a new kit.

Reasons:
- Nitrite / Nitrate Reagent got oxidised in 3-4 months, murky in colour and thus causing faulty results.
- The plastic containers are cheap and the droppers break for no good reason (image 2). Therefore causing inaccurate measurement of drops >> inaccurate results.
- The reagents bottles leak.
- The test tubes leak while performing the test.

Has anyone else had similar experience?

Overall the best online website for buying aquatic mosses?

The ones with which I have some experience, apart from offline shops are:-

Bunnycart, Sreepadma, Himadri, LMPets.

However, which one is best if trying to only buy moss of different types? Christmas, Peacock, Flame, Java etc...

River style aquascape

Hey y'all....this is my river style aquascape with spider wood for a Malawi cichlid tank....can you guys rate my scape and suggest some changes to make my tank more visually appealing along with which type of rock to match the aesthetics of this tank....also should I go for a planted setup with aquasoil or use sand along with ferns, anubias and moss🤔

Help!

What is happening to the tail of my guppies? Two died today and their tails were missing.

Recently did a water change. Ammonia, nitrate and nitrite are all 0 ppm and ph is 7.5.

Ordered this from bunny cart for low tech plant setup

100 rs for shipping feels quite unfair NGL then sub total+ , but locally they are selling 1 stem for 10 rs whereas I found these w 10 stems on 40-50 rs, is bunny cart worth it if I order plants in Kanpur as they come from Kerala, gimme reviews...

Hello. Are there some bulletproof livestock i can keep for a 20 litre freshwater planted tank?

Full planted dirt floor with sand on top, and floating plants, no filter, no co2, no aquarium lights, direct sunlight from window 3 hrs till sunset. 10-20% water changes per week.

If it is a bad idea, I'd like to know that too, and just keep it as an underwater garden.

Is this dechlorinator safe for shrimps?

Bought this dechlorinator today from an offline dealer today. Is it safe for my neo caradina shrimps?

u/Technical-Hour-2835 — 4 days ago

Anyone has sunrise-sunset lights or dimmer settings? What’s ur experience, worth it?

- Is the sunrise to sunset feature worth it?
- Does Sunsun or Neo Helios have any models with similar features?
- OR any brand under 5k with dimmer / remote control (no sunrise / sunset)?
- Anyone experienced with Hygger or Nicrew lights?

I don’t have 8-20k chihiros kinda money unfortunately. 👀

Wonder if there’s a mid-ground between chihiros and neo-helios.

Thanks muches! 🙏

Canister Filter help

I have a 2.5ft x 1ft x 1ft tank and I plan to make it a planted one with aquasoil and maybe co2

But there are so many canister filters out there and I'm confused about which one to choose

Can you guys help me by sharing your experiences with various canister filters, how easy it is in terms of maintenance and everything I need to know....also my budget for a canister is under 3k

I have looked into a few hang on back canister filters but my glass is only 5mm and I don't want to put any strain on the glass
