i came here to invoke.discussion. Instead I found a vast amount of judgemental people. To answer directly to "well did you get your shots or not", YES, I am vaccinated. Judgement should be reserved by everyone, and open discussion encouraged. Regardless of your beliefs, you'll never learn a...

What a handful. Nobody said more people were dying vaccinated than not. If this is what you read, I invite you to get new spetacles. The reason the vaccination death rate, where I live, is currently higher than the other is not because of the vaccine. Pay close attention now.... It's higher...

Immunology and bio-chemistry are very interesting no doubt. My nephew is a bio-chemist. He studies this stuff like most religion. Your extremely simplified regurgitation is, lacking. It is a complex process, no doubt, but the whole random slamming of chemicals and stuff is essentially what...

So...... I can expect to.come to your house, remove any and everything I like, without any intervention from you? I mean, you wouldn't want to be selfish now, would you? Or better yet, I can take away your ability to earn a living for yourself, because I don't agree with a choice you make...

You may want to go and take a closer look at your data. Your outcome is inaccurate. Right now, Florida has the lowest infection rate in the country. This is a what color state? Minnesota has the highest infection rate. This is a what color state? It's CNN propaganda like this that should...

I have still seen nothing here that has a benchmark. The benchmark would be, since every single person will react differently to this particular virus (since this is the current one), would be everyone being somehow able to get the virus in their system, react to it, wipe the slate clean...

It's not that I don't want to give a straight answer. It's that it really doesn't matter when it.comes to spreading this virus. The one aspect of this that is greatly annoying is these "experts" claiming their knowledge is somehow superior to millions of years of evolutionary process. Even in...

Must be a few CNN fans.here.....😂 Ya can't believe everything you see on tv folks. Nobody is being honest about this thing. This is why there are folks not taking it seriously. My point here was that if you have not had it, be ready because it is very real. It is not a.matter of if, but...

What difference does that make? I contracted COVID-19. People everywhere vaxxed are still contracting it, and a lot are spreading it...most times unknowingly. It's like wearing a helmet on a.crotch rocket. Some people just get that sense of complete protection, and then plug into the back of...

I'm being overly critical of this person because prior to him shooting snot out of his nose all over the equipment where I work, he was bringing groceries to a friend of his who had covid, but instead of dropping it off outside, he was going inside. A week later, he was snotty, and coating...

I dunno how many of you here have had the pleasure of riding the COVID train yet, but, I have it right now, day 3 of fever. All I am gonna say is be ready. Get some Zinc supps. Get some Vitamin D3 supps. Get you some juice with Vitamin C. Hell, get some pedialyte advanced too. Be ready for...

Java fern will grow anywhere. I've currently got a TON of it, both tied to stuff (use twist ties....much easier than fishing line....) and stuffed in sand, gravel....hell, had a bag of it on my table for a MONTH, and it was still viable and flourishing! Java fern won't rot if stuffed into the...

The tank got off to a bumpy start. The only fish left in there is 1 neon tetra and a brushy nose pleco. There was a small group of the tetras, the pleco, 4 cories that get the yellow fins and the gourami. Everyone died cept who is listed. Seems to happen when I source my fish from a...

Pulled everyone out, drained it, fixed the bushes, up and going. Much nicer now.

My EBJD died today. I watched it happen. Very sad kid on my hands. She misses all the big fishies. I'm not doing anymore big fishies. Gonna fill my 75 with schools of small tropicals. All my tanks. Only big fish will be my common pleco. Still have the peacock and convict in there...for...

Learn about the fish before you buy. A 5 inch bristlenose pleco is gonna create a TON more waste than a 5 inch cichlid.

Not exactly. What will the bacteria eat and use as fuel to multiply if you starve them? Fish can handle up to .5ppm relatively easily with no ill effects short term. That is a substantial amount as well.

Wow. That was an explanation. Kudos. There are more fish out in the dark because that is when they are less able to be seen and become food. Evolution and all that. The blue lights emulate moon light. Some, like me, run dim blue all night. Some run them for a bit then off. Get you a...

The idea is to add it to a bucket of water to dissolve it to a specific gravity, then when ready add it to the tank. Marine is nice, but more work. Plus, it's one of them things that should be read up on before set up. Some cats like crash coursing tho, so, I can dig it. Get you some...

I've got all Tetra brand.pumps. A single outlet on the 10 gallon runnin one stone. I got a whisper quiet single outlet on the 38 gallon running one big stone. I have a whisper quiet dual outlet one on the 75 gallon piped into a single run to a block on the back which splits that into 4 runnin...

Sometimes, folks get a little attached in their ways. You have 3 small fish, am I correct? Leave the fish in there. Feed every 2-3 days, and only enough that they eat most of.it. That's it. Don't go puttin food in there 3 times a day, even after it is cycled. Don't worry about your filter...

They need places to hide, and call their own. However, with that many in that small of a.tank, you're probably going to find that they won't survive long. Even if you change around the tank regular so they don't get too territorial. That many cichlids in a 60 gallon tank is going to slowly...

They are a very hardy fish. That much I can tell you. They have a ton of personality too. Mine was super pretty when it was that little. Kinda faded nowadays. He is only about 4 inches, and I have had him close to a year now probably. Pretty much any EBJD is going to have some deformity...

Get a single large tank and decor appropriately for the fish kept, which would be a bunch of small fish. Not really in to large fish anymore.

Whenever I feel like it. Lots of small tanks apparently, otherwise astronomical water bills.....

Well, I was sitting here, first day of first vacation of the year, looking at my 38 gallon bowfront. All the sudden, I see that all 3 of my siamese algae eaters are still alive! I have only seen 2 for months now. Resolved to one of them had passed long ago. Nope! Also, while gazing into...

If they look like fluffy stuff coming out, it's time to get on getting that water fixed up, or prepare to lose them. My severum died from that crapola.

I am aware of 'old tank syndrome'. I can add new fish to all my tanks and they usually thrive. It's inverts that are no longer surviving. This is why I was wondering if the copper was maybe leeching, and my top off practice slowly, over time, maybe built up in the tank. Eventually killing...

I think I am just losing interest in having a fish zoo in my home nowadays. Probably going to cut back at some point. I dunno. Still is failure mode. Compounded by life in general in these times, the irritation of what transpired with these tanks is just weighing heavy. We'll see. Cabin...

Do not follow my advice. I am an idiot with giant bowls of water. Apparently, I have spent a lot of time and money to reverse engineer the wheel. Tried to make it rounder, and it came out....well.....round. Tinkering lately has shown me some follies in my ways. One aspect of nature I did...

You are doing too much too fast. The HOB filters that come with tank kits are usually good 'nuff for most things they come with, unless it was a larger tank. They get optimistic above 55 gallon sometimes. Changing to the canister will cause issues, unless you also leave the HOB filter up for...

A 1000w heater in a 50 gallon? Does the light just blink when it heats that tank?? Filter media can be reused, depending on the media. A typical activated charcoal element should be changed. In part to it soakin up the bad stuff, but mostly because the activated charcoal will.eventually...

These shrimp require a.somewhat "dirty" tank, in the sense that there is the right balance of tank params and floating food in the water column. They do require flow. They do not last long in newly established tanks. They only live a year or 2 as it is. Lots less in a new tank. Feed them...

Algae killer killed the fish as well, as Colin said. Colin told.you the best method for treatment. Raise the temp in the main tank to 86°f for 2 weeks. Gravel clean the substrate every day with that 75% water change. Here is why. The parasite falls off the fish and drifts down into the...

No experience with that brand here...but here is a screenshot of the adjustability of the Aquasky 2 if you're looking for customization......it's really endless.... Each color is customizable.

Fluval Aquasky 2.0. They have bluetooth connectivity, and you can adjust so much and they put out great lighting. You can adjust it to your taste even, by color. You can add weather effects, like cloud cover, lightening storms ect. These can be put on a timer as well so you can have your...

Guppies in a 36 gallon? Go nuts! Get 20 of them if ya want...haha. If ya go with the 10, you'll be limited on how many fish you can keep.

It may have died and is lodged in a decoration. It happens. I've found more khuli loach sacrifices that way. Either the ones they drug in or themselves when the pickins got slim I spose. There will always be some remnants. A skelton for a long time, until it dissolves.
