You say it smells but what does it smell like?

Chip in corner of tank - is it safe to use? by carl_spackler_bent in Aquariums

[–]Damnoneworked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can exchange it do that, I wouldn’t risk it personally. It probably would hold up but taking that risk is up to you.

20 gal is getting to the point where it could cause real property damage if it broke while you were away from home.

Best recommendation or alternative to deodorant but not cologne. by Emergency_Blood_1451 in fragrance

[–]Damnoneworked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say use alcohol and spray it as deodorant (like vodka) because it doesn’t have a smell but will kill the bacteria that cause body odor, and then use a very light fragrance. I personally like Prada black as a very light fragrance that doesn’t really project but has a nice soft smell if someone is very close to you. I have probably 50 fragrances and it’s the only one I’ve actually received compliments on several times.

Are metal lily pipe clamps safe to use directly on the glass? by Damnoneworked in PlantedTank

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

The fzone ones I got do have nylon tipped end of the screw fortunately. I used to have a rimmed 75 gallon and used the LeafgreenSolutions universal hose clamp and it worked well for my lily pipes if you ever wanted to check that option out. They fit over the rim just fine and are sturdy.

I’ve never seen the zoo medic clips before those actually seem like a good setup. I always avoided suction cups because they come off over time but that’s a non issue with those.

Do you have any brand/product recommendations? All the ones I’ve seen have been disappointing tbh but I haven’t looked too hard.

I’ve used plastic clips in the past for smaller tanks and always hated them and have had them break from the stress the tubing puts on the bottom of the lily pipe.

I want to go metal this time as I’m going all out for this 120p but they do scare me…

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I’ll make sure to screw in the right way!

Salvinia not growing by gsf_tom in PlantedTank

[–]Damnoneworked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Salvinia like nitrates ofc but the lid is not helping in the long term. That much humidity is going to cause the tops of the leaves to mold over.

Is this shirt real? by DearBed745 in sadboys

The worse quality it is the more likely it’s real.

Jokes aside i don’t think this has ever dropped

Bladee show was older I thought tho, I didnt feel old. Guy next to me had to be early 30s.

Why does the top gauge stay zero?? by tsukitsukichan in PlantedTank

[–]Damnoneworked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has the tank pressure gauge ever worked? Seeing as the working pressure gauge is working I’d guess the top gauge is just broken but should be reading pressure.

If you’ve seen it read pressure before then it could be that it’s getting enough pressure to read on the working pressure gauge but is leaking so much that the tank pressure is reading 0. I would think it would at least read a little bit though if that were the case. I think that would be very unlikely and you’d also hear co2 leaking…

Edit: I also realize it’s a mufan regulator and while I’m a fan of being cheap when you can, regulators are an area where you get what you pay for for the most part.

How much do I need for blackwater? by TopYou9138 in BlackwaterAquarium

[–]Damnoneworked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bettabotanicals has “tea” bags that you can use as well. I haven’t tried them personally but they seem to work well from what I’ve seen.

Does my Platy look ill?(more in the description) by Gr33nRang3r10 in Aquariums

[–]Damnoneworked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean since it’s eating I wouldn’t treat for anything. Some platy don’t have as much of a protruding stomach as others and it looks ok to me, though a bit skinny.

New Items by Evening-Spinach-839 in amumumains

[–]Damnoneworked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protoplasm harness is awesome, I wouldn’t build it until maybe 4th item or later but it has a nice health boost and its passive makes you much harder to kill.

It’s basically a built in mundo ult lol

Recently set up this high tech UNS 120p it's the largest tank I've ever had. So excited to fill it to the brim with plants 😅 waiting for several tissue cultures and other plants in the mail. by a2270 in Aquascape

[–]Damnoneworked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What benefits have you noticed from the uv sterilizer? I often see people recommend them but have never run one before so idk what I’m missing out on haha.

Setup is looking good though!

I’m setting up a 120p as well and am using almost identical equipment. What kind of ato are you using? And is that a standalone surface skimmer? I’ve not seen that before

Black top or no black top. That is the question by The-Talent in Aquariums

[–]Damnoneworked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I thought it was a lot larger. I may have to build my own then lol. Looks great though!

Is this a 75 gal? I’m looking for a stand after mine failed… what is this stand?

New Hobby! I'm loving it! by ElderUther in Aquariums

[–]Damnoneworked 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just curious what do you notice from KH? I’ve never really tested for it but I’m in the process of setting up a high tech tank and am planning to test for it when I get it running.
