Too much yeast?

coldfusion,
need to get your lighting up fast. Before your plants yellow. Also, do consider adding driftwood tied with a bit of java moss to make things look more interesting.

For layout, I guess if you landscape your slope from back to front, your tank will look much bigger. Also, please consider some midground plants.

For DIY yeast, i go with 1/4 yeast, 1/2 baking soda, and 2 cups of sugar for a 1.5 litre bottle.

For the Nutrafin CO2 bottle, I use slightly less than 1/4 yeast, 1/2 baking soda, fill sugar up to the first indicator and water up to the next indicator.

More yeast = more CO2 generated but runs out much faster.

Depending on what type of siput you get, if it looks like a normal siput babi, then they're probably normal pond snails, which can damage your plants.

As for puffer, get the dwarf puffer. Other puffers aren't really suitable. But consider that you will have to take care of the puffer once the snails are all gone...

Oh the cruelty!

Dwarf puffers are some of the most interesting fish I ever kept. They do require a big space though.

Just wanna share an old tank of mine:


Moss, ferns, marsilea. White sand with JBL base substrate.

Then it became this:


With plenty of corydoras

Nope. 3ft. Wish I have room for 4ft though.

most likely is java moss. Some other moss are more expensive.
