Its been awhile since I made an update. Â Life has been extremely busy for me, which also means that I haven’t been giving my tank too much attention. Â But guess what? Â The UG are alive and spreading! Â Go figure! Â I’m excited that the UG are finally taking off so hopefully in another month or so, it will cover the entire tank. Â I think it just took awhile for my tank to complete the cycle and for the UG to adjust.
I did buy two assassin snails as I was getting tired of catching all the ramshorn sails. Â I also added two ottos to help with the algae.
Here is a picture of the tank:
I’m starting to see algae (not 100% sure what kind) growing on the UG on the far left of the tank. Â This is the part of the tank that has the most flow. Â I looking to add about 20 CRS (S+ and SS) in the next week so hopefully they will help? Â I’m also looking to add some Amano shrimps as I was told that they do a better job with the algae.

Hi! I just found your blog. I really don’t see any algae in your photos, but a little is kind of a component of getting things started. You’ve done really well–utrics is really difficult to grow! Good luck!
