      The music was too soon, or too loud, made it almost impossible for me to hear you.
      But this was neat, learned some new stuff as always from your vids, thanks!

      I added a piece of wood to my betta's tank yesterday. He was right by my hand watching the whole time and as soon as I took my hand out, he zipped around once and went into his favorite nook in the wood. it made me laugh.

    I have olive tree roots in my aquarium for about a year now .It hasn't stopped releasing tannens and i dont think it ever will,plus it has a lot of character.Im just putting it out there for other fellas that would like this type of setup(also plecos seem to enjoy it a lot).

    Albimas look very awesome and healthy. I'll have to remember this video to keep in mind the type of wood you used. Neons do well in a similar set up. I also did well with some cave breeding cichlids in a similar dark water tank. Which surprised me a bit as they were in the tank while I set up their own tank. Which was given to another set of dark water fish and plants.

    The only things I don't understand is, why the music at the end? I can't hear anything you're saying because it drowns you out. Other than that, fabulous video, great to see the process of some of these tanks!

I bought an aquaclear 20 and some extra sponges I would like to setup (like you suggest on your optimization video), however is there any way I should switch them out? I had 6 mollies and only 2 are left. I did not realize it but I had super high ammonia issues (guessing it was related to poor bio bacteria. Any ideas?
