2nd tank, to house a betta for my fiancé (lemmy.nz)

It’s a UNS 45U, with an Oase 100 thermo and a Chihiros WRGB Slim. CO2, and aquasoil in a mound under the rocks. There’s an open area behind and under the stacked rock, making a nice little hide.

So far I am liking the poppy pipe style, it’s my first time using it. And slowly I’m getting diatoms and snails, usual early tank stuff.

Lemme know your thoughts :)

All plants can benefit from CO2. I have some stems that greatly appreciate it. And the light isn’t too crazy, it’s potentially powerful but I’ve got it turned down to roughly 33-40%. The floaters like the light and keep things more shady for the Anubias and crypts below, while all get the CO2 they like.

And thank you. Yeah I wanted to keep it simple and stick to lower light plants, since I know Bettas enjoy that better
