That sounds like an excuse to start a predatory/carnivorous fish tank to me. Cichlids, bettas, etc.:cool:

Side note: did you kill the power to your heater? Never run them without water.

I wish we had your problem. We love snails.

Massive water change asap! Ammonia and nitrite are extremely high. Edit: AdoraBelle beat me to it.

Exactly. The article states exactly what I said. They counted all deaths after a positive covid test as a covid death, even if you walked in front of a bus a couple months later. I'm glad people are starting to wake up to these lies.

Ok, I've taken it out. From what I've gathered, given my tank is 40 gallons and my kH is roughly 120ppm and my pH is 7.6, the calculators have recommended roughly 1-2bps, depending on how many plants I have. I'm at the upper end of that after only half an hour of starting my ferment. Hmm... I'll...

I got bored. Easy way to kill 5 minutes. I guess I'm medium tech now. I'm going to test it in one of the 40s until I know for sure how much it puts out. I'd eventually like to use it, or one that will be compatible, with the planted 5 gallon.

That's been my experience as well. Then I just take then out and throw them in a bucket of old fish water on the back porch and they seem to perk up and throw out some babies. Rinse and repeat.

I'm ugly on the inside. :sad:

We wouldn't survive in your house! We're cold weather people. We keep our house at 64-65°F (18°C) during the day and 59°F (15°C) at night. Max for comfort is around 68°F (20°C).

Time to start making wine! Or maybe a plum based BBQ or hot sauce? That's what I'd do. I only have peppers going this year. All in pots. They are a little stunted due to the late winter we had, but they're still producing alright all things considered. Here are two (I have around 40 total)...

Guppies. Lots and lots of guppies. They don't hold still long enough for me to count them. Other than them there are enough bladder snails to choke 100 hungry puffers.

No, just not the response I was expecting. :lol:

Oh Lord. :lol:

Wow...

That bad, eh? I just realized that the camera reversed everything.

I got a haircut as well.

I rest my case.

Oooh, that's a little above my pay grade right there. I normally rent either a CTSW or Sport Cruiser, but I started out in a good ole 152.

Definitely agree. You can't exactly pull over to the curb in a plane. My father was an A&P and we worked on a lot of aircraft together over the years, so I have a heads up on a few things. I am fairly confident with structural work, but not so much when it comes to electronics and engines. I...

$100,000,000. I am not that greedy, so that's quite a large budget for one lifetime. As I said before, we'd move to Utah. Our home wouldn't be anything over the top. Figure 4 bedroom and 2,500-3,000 sq ft. with a full basement. Nice, but reasonably modest. Rustic modern design overall. I...

Oooh, Angel Soft. Good choice. :cool: Tank looks great. I love swarms of neons and corys. You just can't appreciate them in groups of 6 vs a swarm of 49.

I swing for the fence. :p

I have AquaQuartz PFS in two of our tanks. Offhand, I believe it's 20 grade. Another tank has BDBM. I forget the grade, but it's finer than the PFS. I've never used play sand, but after rinsing both of our substrates until I thought they were clean and then rinsing them some more, I've never had...

Looks great. Do you have pics of your 20L before and after filling to the rim? Just out of curiosity, do you like anacharis? Lol

Both can look great depending on the look you're going for. Dark substrates, such as BDBM, shows every little speck of debris, dull or dark colored fish can get lost against the dark substrate and overall they can be a bit more difficult to light. On the other hand, colors really pop out. So if...

Who made that kombucha?! :sick: Get yourself a bottle of this: Edit: If you're aren't used to raw fermented foods, don't drink the whole bottle at once. Two words: Gastric exorcism. I usually drink about 1/3 at a time. It perks me up better than a pot of coffee and it doesn't give me the...

I haven't had that in a minute! I'm going to have to pick up some rye bread tomorrow. If we're talking fermented drinks, what is your opinion on kombucha?

Carolina Reapers are definitely mean. They make Bhuts (ghost chilies) seem like a jalapeno. But, they also have a great flavor. Ed Currie really knocked one out of the park with it.

Double post, but whatever. I can't wait for all my peppers to ripen. I'm going to be a sauce making fool come fall. Primarily fermented hot sauces, but I'll probably make some BBQ, Asian and Indian inspired sauces as well. I'm going to overwinter a half a dozen or so of my hottest varieties so...

Well, I accidentally knocked off a couple immature pods. I figured I would. Two Naga Morich, a Bhut Jolokia red and a Carolina Reaper. My 3 year old says he wants to eat them. Noooooo! They may be immature, but I know for a fact they are still insanely hot.

Time to hit up some local lakes. Edit: My peppers have so many pods on their branches that they're sagging to the ground and about to snap. I guess I'm doing something right. They finally had tomato cages at Walmart. Now I have to figure out how I'm going to get them in there without damaging...

I got them that cheap because my LFS is awesome. They price match online and I get a lot of coupons. Normally for a medium piece they are $10-15/ea at most stores. If you haven't played with mopani before, I'll warn you that they leach tannins like crazy. When I first put them in a couple...

I am watching a documentary on Vudu called "Air Guitar Nation". These guys are so uncool that they cool! It reminds me of back in my bar band days. We had one guy who showed up to every show and jam session we did and he was pretty much our unofficial hype up guy. He'd play air guitar and...

No, please don't clean the filter. Leave it alone. That is where most of your beneficial bacteria reside. Don't change your filter cartridge, either.

Fair enough. It must be the photograph or reflection. On my screen it simply looks like he's got black on the tips and rays of his dorsal, anal and caudal fins.

I hate to be "that guy", but I'm seeing a lutino oscar. Note the black on the fins.
