My 5 gallon planted (old member returning)

[Affectedhalf]

I was a member here ages ago (same username) but unable to pull it back up since servers ect was wiped. I had a reef tank, able to propagate my own corals, and even a breeding pair of green banded gobies. Trying to keep things more simple this time and try my hand at a planted tank. Though I do miss my reef tank.... Hopefully this thread isn't also deleted *sigh

I currently have:

• anubias nana petite
• java petite
• hornwort
• moss balls (If anyone has some, I'd be interested, mine are ...well...let's just say they went through a lot last year)
• java windelov
• 2 x amano 2 x ghost (I think if betta hasn't murdered already) and 1 x murderous koi betta (looking for good home or if you know of where I can post to rehome a betta, please let me know)

I keep throwing the hornwort in the trashcan so a couple questions:

Can I put it in a bucket outside and it be okay until I can trade it? I just don't have room to keep it in current tank
Related: I have extra hornwort I can trim if anyone wants, needs or is local (I'm in Dunwoody)
Also related...if anyone has any backup aquariums I would much appreciate even small- 5 gal or 2 or something just so I can have more room for excess plants or as a QT tank

I'm dosing ThriveS 2x a week and noticed before when I was just dosing once there were some pinholes in the anubias leaves. I've started adding Potassium...how much do you recommend a week? Dosing around .8mL

I can't figure out how to edit and forgot a picture ...so it's here!



Oh yes the hornwort needs to be trimmed badly but it's protecting the shrimps so that has to wait.... (same with adding the new anubias on the rocks)

I have some big moss balls. About tennis ball sized. And one about golf ball.
