Have you added any potassium?

Co2 is easy mode. Although you can have a lot of success without it. Find plants that do well in harder water. There are some plants that are just hard to mess up as long as your doing a few things right. Water changes. Good fertilization. A decent light with enough wattage. When you do these...

Interesting. It does give the fish a lot of spaces to swim through. I have learned that limestone when used with plants and shrimp can be tricky because it tends to raise the gh and kh and possibly ph at times. Thats why im thinking i want to to steer away from it in some planted tanks, but it...

They stay in the bag for a week?

What is your favorite rock type to use in an aqua scape?

Assasin snails love blood worms.

Im pretty sure equilibrium has potassium in it. Last time i heard. So keep that in mind when adding it with your k2so4. It does have potassium just checked.

The red stem plant looks like an emersed grown rotala likely rotundifolia switching to its submerged (underwater) growth at the top.

Look inside them. You should see a worm poking its head out of some of them. Look very closely. They are some sort of larvae i think. I had them in a tank before. Not poop more like a cocoon. I thought they were some sort of nymph or something. I researched it a while ago.

Wondering how you went about raising your light.

20 years is a pretty long life for him/her you did well.

134 gallon?

Im not sure if those are swords or anubias but make sure the rhizome or crowns arent burried too deep. Even swords i heard tend to do better with their crowns above the gravel. Looks really nice tho. Thanks for sharing. I like the music too.

Did you do a water change?

Angels with skirts really confused me till i saw the tetras. Haha

I like to jam them in a crevice

I might leave the light off for the first few hours or first day. The next day they are usually are fine with the light on. If they seem overly stressed from shipping they may need more time.

You could try putting a limestone rock in your aquarium or crushed corals. This will slowly raise gh and kh. A better option may be adding baking soda to your tank. Add this gradually because this will raise kh with ph and possibly shock your livestock.
