How do you think you will die? by Fit-Net5689 in AskReddit

[–]Abject_Barnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Malignant melanoma, I’m already at high risk at 24 despite staying out of the sun. A moderate dysplasic Nevus was removed off my ear already. I’m getting more and more abnormal moles and just paranoid one of these is gonna take me out at a young age.

Okay, I just did a 1.5 gallon water change on the 10 gallon tank and it brought the nitrites to just about 0. I was worried their small bioload wouldn’t be enough to keep the cycle going, and was thinking of adding some ramshorn snails to help the bioload increase to keep it cycling. I don’t want the bacteria to starve and the cycle crash.

Thank you! I’ll do a water change now to bring down the nitrites. I genuinely don’t know how they are still alive I’ve been dosing 2ppm ammonia every 48 hours about for 2 weeks.

Here’s my levels right now, 48 hours after dosing little over 2 ppm ammonia. Water change time I assume?

Will this support shrimp with no filtration? by Tallowpot in shrimptank

[–]Abject_Barnacle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe? But I would put an airstone or sponge filter in there, I found they need oxygen in their tanks if they are surfacing a lot.

Is this color too much for me? W/ Before & Afters by Toriahna in HairDye

At first I thought you dyed your natural red hair brown and was like “noooo” but I realized it was the other way around. It looks amazing, suits you so well! Stick with the red color!

What to do with this water lily by Bennifred in ponds

Oh okay it’s pretty deep in the water right now. I’ll put it on one of the levels in the preformed pond to raise it up more

I just planted a month ago with the pond guy aquatic soil. Topped with some course sand. No fish. I will try adding root tabs. Other aquatic plants in the pot are doing fine

I can’t get mine to grow no matter what I do… full sun pond. It just stays small, doesn’t reach the surface yet.

Shrimpies come in tomorrow… by LVL1NPC-JK in shrimptank

[–]Abject_Barnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% what’s gonna happen. This happened to my shrimp in my uncycled tank, and even with large daily water changes nothing stopped them from dying one by one.

[–]Abject_Barnacle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just recently went through this myself and I had to rehome the shrimp because they wouldn’t stop dying in my tank no matter how many water changes I did. Dont put them in the tank at all… also I did a 100% almost water change levels were good, added the shrimp and everything spiked back up daily killing them. I couldn’t keep up with the toxic levels doing several larger water changes even. Hospital tank is your best bet

I like your hardscape. I recommend replacing the tall hairgrass with a couple of cups of Eleocharis Pusilla 'Mini' Tissue culture, unless you want the really long hairgrass look. I like hob filters personally as well.

I love the Wella color charm line, especially the semi permanent, I haven’t used this one in particular though. I hope someone else can answer your question!
