I wanted to thank those here that helped me out in my initial setup of this tank. This a 6 gallon eclipse tank, I keep the hang on filter for some water movement, the lighting is a 27W desk lamp and some sunlight.

I am a big believer in this method now. Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate all measure 0, and have for 6 months, my bioload is a betta, 5 amano shrimp and 2 pygmy cories. I have changed the water 4 times in 6 months, never vacuum and have only run algae magnet on the glass 2x.
