Thank you!

I'm still learning myself. The small tank has a solid cycle and everyone is happy. The big tank has nitrites but no ammonia or nitrates so I'm going to add some live bacteria sand we used for the 20g in an attempt to boost the cycle. Will likely need to do some water changes.

As far as bigger tank advice: with the 75 gallon tank I wish I'd established a more solid cycle, then added plants, after plants take hold introduce shrimp or another cleaning crew to get to work, and then finally start populating it.
We didn't plan it as well as we'd thought and had to ad-lib quite a bit. I do love how it is going so far.
