  • People get mad about them but I agree they work great and are mostly asleep when I'm awake.

  • WTH. It was working fine, I wonder what happened.

  • It just takes patience. Everything happens slower in a tank like this. There's sifted dirt on the bottom and then sand on top of that, so the plants have plenty of nutrients in the substrate. I deliberately introduced the dreaded Malaysian trumpet snails to keep the substrate stirred up. Lots of plants, nothing fancy just plenty of stems, mostly pearlweed. I've been dealing with a lot of hair algae but I got some amanos shrimp a couple weeks ago and they're beating it back. It's just a little ecology and I think a lot about every change before I make it.

  • None! That hang on back refugium just has some hydroton to give the plants something to hold onto and there's a power head pushing water around but that's it.

  • They look a lot like Brook Trout which are my favorites so it's no accident I ended up keeping them!

  • I tore down my planted tank and dirted it today, what's the over/under on adding the fish back?

    Jump

  • Still no ammonia so I YOLO'd the fish in. Now the problem is the total lack of alkalinity, so I threw in an eggshell and I'm gonna add some crushed coral to the substrate for long term. Fortunately pH is pretty stable.

  • Oh I just did the Walstad thing and picked the woody bits out of some organic potting soil so while I have no idea what bugs are there I'm sure it's pretty far from sterile.

  • I honestly felt bad for him. He had the pace but they made him wait until the tires were well done before they let him try. I mean the whining was a bit heavy but the point was there.

  • That's the energy I need! I reused all the fluval substrate for the cap and also about five gallons of original tank water, I did everything I could to drag over a lot of bugs. I'm hopeful that this balances my carbon economy, I've been fighting hair algae and I eliminated everything but low carbon and I don't wanna go to CO2 injection because I'm so so lazy.

  • Some times in life you are just putting one foot in front of the other. Don't focus on the totality of your problems, just look at the small things you can do to work those problems down. When something good happens, make sure to recognize it and think back on it when you're down. You don't beat this feeling all at once, you chip away a bit at a time and eventually find yourself in a better place.

    Update on my favorite gnat control method. Cape Sundew have beautiful little flowers and produce tons of seeds which will sprout easily.

    My universal gnat advice: get a cape sundew, put it in a plastic tray of distilled/RO water on a sunny windowsill, finally enjoy seeing a plant covered in gnats.
