Reddit reviews Pisces 17lb Seiryu Rock for Aquascaping, Aquariums, Terrariums, Vivariums

I mean, this is a pretty good deal imo. I don't think you should be dismissing and downvoting this post without doing the proper research. FYI did the math:

17lbs Seiryu rock - $32

Nano 511 Externa Canister Filter - $69

Jardli Glass Lily Pipe inflow and outflow - $49.90

JBJ Rimless 10 gallon - $159.99 cheapest I could find, it's 189.99 at petco

Glass lid - can't find one for 10g so I'd assume custom made $5+

GH & KH Test Kit & API Master Kit-$8.59 + $22.54 = $31.03

Tropica Aquarium Soil 3L - $49.60

5 Gallon Bucket w/ lid - probably like $3-5

Seachem Purigen - 2 packet is $19.49

Cleaning magnet - $5-20

Spider Wood - Depends like $10-25+

Siphon - depends probably $5-10

Test Strips - $5.22

• The bonuses he's providing like the aquascaping tools - probably $10+?
  
  By the way, these are all conservative numbers. The total comes to around $484.31, which is if everything is brand new. Even if some of the products are used, the cost is 52% off the conservative value of all the items in this package. So for the quality of the items here, I don't think it's a bad price at all. Now the question is, which items are new and which items are used?

Definitely look into increasing your hardscape because your tank looks a bit barren as it is. I ordered a bag of Seiryu stones online and I was really pleased with the pieces I received. In my opinion you need to add more height to your hardscape and that should make your tank look more natural.

Once your hardscape is improved I would buy more low maintenance plants - java fern, Anubis’s, crypt species, and some stem plants to fill it in.

I agree with what others have said about the tetras. Consider rehoming one of the species and increasing the number of individuals in the remaining school - I promise you will get more enjoyment out of them.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get large rocks for a 20g aquarium? I've looked around and I'm having trouble finding a shop or place to buy rocks. These are the ones I've been eyeing for a while, but I'm afraid of the leeching affecting things I'm not prepared to account for. I also worry that the sizes will vary so much to where I won't be satisfied.. Am I being too paranoid? Are there any other suggestions that may be a good choice for a 20g aquarium?
