Looks great I’m jealous. I can’t grow water Sprite in my water it just dies. I can grow everything else, but not water Sprite.

i’m so sorry to hear that, i wish you the best of luck!!! maybe different ferts for nutrients or make sure ammonia not too high?

Unfortunately, I have an 8.2 PH water lettuce can’t tolerate that everything else canceled so I’m good. Good luck with the tank.

thanks bro and don’t be too sad, i envy your tank since you have a ph high enough to have snails in. mine has a lower ph and would erode the snails shells sadly so i choose not to. cool how every tank is beautiful and unique in its own way, cheers good luck with the tank and happy new years!
