What's your setup?

I've been running a 55 gallon planted tank for about a year now, but I'm curious what setups others are rocking. What's your tank size, stocking, and favorite piece of equipment?

Got a 40 breeder with a pair of Angelfish and some Corydoras. My favorite piece of gear is the Fluval FX4, thing's a beast. How's your planted tank holding up, musiclover?

Running a 20 long with a bunch of Guppies and a single grumpy Betta. It's a mess but kinda works. My heater's sketchy though, gotta replace it soon.

75 gallon with Discus, Cardinal Tetras, and a school of Rummy Nose. Running a CO2 system with a Twinstar light. Water changes are weekly, 50%, to keep nitrates low.

I've got a 29 gallon with a mix of dwarf cichlids and Harlequin Rasboras. Using a sponge filter and a Nicrew light. Plants are doing okay, but the Anubias are slow growers.

That sounds like a lovely setup, flame9x. Discus are such rewarding fish when given the right care. How long have you had them?

10 gallon nano with Cherry Shrimp and a few Endlers. It's low tech, just a hang-on-back filter and some Java Fern. Simple but chill.

125 gallon with a community of Rainbowfish, Congo Tetras, and a big school of Corydoras. Running dual canisters and a UV sterilizer. The Rainbows love the current.

The plants are doing great, but I've been battling some algae lately. Thinking of adding more floaters to cut the light.

Algae's a pain, man. I had to dial back my light duration and up the water changes. Floaters helped me too, just gotta keep 'em from taking over.
