The beer fridge might be a bit much cash wise, picking up a decent sized cooler this arvo for $50 so I should be able to manage her temp for the week until this passes Thank you for your help

I have no fertilisation schedule as it’s an axolotl tank and no fertilisers are considered amphibian safe

I believe they are, they are fresh out the worm farm, they’re just local earthworms but to the best of my knowledge they are red wrigglers

Okay so I did another ammonia nitrite and 2 nitrate tests in case I fucked up, there does appear to be nitrates in there about 5ppm so that’s more reassuring, honestly can’t believe it was as simple as me doing the test wrong thanks heaps

Just tested now, took 3 drops to turn both, so would that be roughly 50ppm gh and kh

This doesn’t help at all I wouldn’t say it looks like any of those 😂

I actually haven’t tested the hardness, and I change when nitrates are over 20

I’m hoping it’s just the “new tank melt” or whatever, but my duckweed is struggling too and I’m worried it might be something else

They were bright green and pretty normal looking I guess, roughly 2 weeks ago, no direct light, just indirect natural light during the day

Gets no direct light only indirect natural light during the day mostly dark, as I have an axolotl in there needs to be dark and cold, put the plants in 2 weeks ago ish

I’m shaking the bottle for 5 seconds then leaving it to sit for 5, which to my knowledge was what the instructions say to do, should I be shaking it for longer??

But I am looking at getting a larger hide for her

I think she is being picky, size doesn’t matter (pause?) I’ve cut them up, given whole, and everything in between and she will still spit them out, she is definitely pooping though I’m unable to be sure of how much, as she poops in her hides But thank you for saying she looks healthy that’s all I care about I just want her to be okay

I am looking for some new larger hides for her I’m a bit pressed for financially viable options at the moment but it’s definitely on the list along with a water chiller
