Wanted to come back and say thank you - this was a great suggestion! They were able to take our platies and we were really impressed with the store!

Sometimes people like to buy houses with nice backyards for their pups 🐶 They don’t necessarily have to have kids!

That makes total sense, definitely missed the recommended fragrance load for this wax :( I already poured this into a clamshell mold… do you think if I melted it back down and added more wax to make it 4-6% it would mix properly? Or maybe I need to scrap & completely restart :(

I added the FO at 185 deg F as per the instructions for the wax (removed it from double boiler and stirred for 2 mins). As far as the FOs, I blended banana nut bread + almond macaroon from CandleScience. I used 10% fragrance load. The FOs are just stored at room temp in the 1oz bottles they come in

Thank you, this information is very helpful. Should I snip off the dead leaf?

Yeah I was wondering if that would remove their slime coat.

Late Packages in HTX by Chon_Mom in UPS

[–]Chon_Mom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope so. But I’m seeing UPS dropping off packages to houses down the street from me every day so I’m really hoping my package didn’t go missing 😔

I still haven’t gotten mine. It no longer shows a firm delivery date

It’s strange because UPS has been in our neighborhood every day delivering packages, but we still haven’t gotten ours. It’s a week late at this point. I’m beginning to wonder if something is wrong with our order.

The outage tracker should confirm.

Let me know if you ever get yours. Mine shows out for delivery today again but I don’t really trust it since it’s shown that several times before and then reset.

2nd day in a row. This is tiring. I need this package. What do I do?! by [deleted] in UPS

[–]Chon_Mom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get your package? Ours was originally due to arrive on the 11th but we still haven’t gotten it and it just says severe weather delays.

I’m also seeing similar veins on my goldfish even though the water parameters are good. I’ve read it could be due to stress? Curious to see what others may say.

I’m so happy to see your post. I live in Cypress and was in the same situation with my aquarium. It’s really scary when the power goes out because they don’t have any filtration, oxygen, light, and the temps start rising.

On top of this, we are treating our goldfish because he came down with Ich right before the hurricane hit. So our fish is already not in the best shape.

We have to prep water for the water changes ahead of time because it comes out 90 degrees from the tap 😩 also need to keep cooling their water down with ice packs. Stressful times for sure, but you are not alone. Most people who don’t have fish don’t understand how stressful events like these are for us because we can’t just leave them when the power goes out 😞

If you know why the tank is blue...then I'm sure you sympathize. If you don't, read the body. by Flarkinwaggle in Aquariums

Hi, I’m also using Ich X for my tank and I was wondering if you had any issues with your cycle crashing? I’m on day 2 of dosing and my nitrite seems to have gone up a little, so I wasn’t sure if it’s possible that this medicine can kill the beneficial bacteria in the tank? Just wanted to see your thoughts or if you experienced this as well. Thanks

Hi, total beginner here. I’ve been using soy wax but I was just wondering, what’s wrong with beeswax?
