Just got a Spec V myself and just started cycling yesterday. Bloom already in progress. How much sand did you end up using, just a 5 pound bag? I was torn between using just the one, which I think is fine, or using the 2nd to allow for more coverage/depth. I really liked your set up with the driftwood and grey stone on black, that's right up my alley. if you see this, would appreciate the heads up on the amount of sand.

Really enjoying your content mate! Will be following this closely as I'm strongly considering getting this tank for a second betta or maybe a Taiwan bee shrimp tank for my home office desk (probably a betta tank to be fair lol). BTW, wee word of warning - if you're certain its slate/quartz stone you've used for your hardscape you should be fine though seiryu stone can (potentially) up a tank's water ph and gh well past what would be comfortable for a betta.

Do you think the light on this tank will keep plants alive? I just watched your marineland video-which tank do you like best for a betta?
@Pharmaquatics3 жыл бұрын
if you have the money, i'd go fluval or marineland just because of the horizontal swimming space. both are solid options nonetheless. regarding the light, it is pretty strong for one that comes in a kit. i've had luck keeping anubias, water wisteria, and frog bit using it

not sure how much of that is attributed by the black backing or the glass panel being reflective. you can also try black poster board from staples, michaels or even the dollar store. i used to do that but it's not as clean of a backing (just cut to shape and tape)
