3 gallon Topfin Indulge Planted Pea Puffer Tank

Hey guys, Dimitri here, some of you may know me as the owner of a 45 gallon south American biotope... But I just setup my 3rd tank!

This is my 3 gallon Topfin Indulge, tank is tweaked for more biomedia and carbon.

Just set it up today, added the ammonia and got it cycling!

Plant species:
- cryptocoryne crispatula
- salvinia
- limnophilia sessilifora

The future stocking:
- single pea puffer
- some ramshorn snails as feeders

 

That looks cleaannnn.

 

week 1 test results
ammonia 1.5
nitrite 0.8
nitrate 30

almost thinking of doing a 50% water change mid - cycle to get the nitrates down

I work at an aquarium store and the API test kits are VERY unacurate. I have to disagree, I'd never recommend them. I use Salifert, they are accurate, reasonably priced and are very easy to use.
