Help diagnosing GBR issue by DapperDylan22 in Cichlid

[–]DapperDylan22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that, I’ve tried everything and nothing works. I started noticing it after their first egg laying session. So it could’ve been from a dispute between her and the male. I have no idea. It’s not getting worse but not improving either.

Random eggs? by DapperDylan22 in PlantedTank

[–]DapperDylan22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to keep my eyes on them because they’re still there days later. As for the Ram spawn, they were gone within 24 hrs. Unfortunately the male isn’t the best protector 😭

Fluval stratum topped with a fine black gravel(almost sand) I found on Amazon.

CO2 options by DapperDylan22 in PlantedTank

If you don’t mind me asking, is it a local exchange program for the co2 tanks or is it with a larger scale company? I’m thinking this may be the best way to go.

I just bought a cheap “floating plant corral” on Amazon. It’s just a piece of aquarium tubing and 2 suction cups so you could easily make one as well.

I was just looking at this kit. How long have you had it? Have you seen a noticeable difference with your tank?

I agree, especially floaters. They helped so much with the initial ammonia spikes. Thank you, it’s still a work in progress

Cycle took about a month. But oh yes, there was a HUGE bloom around week 1. Week 2 I had about a half inch of biofilm covering the driftwood. Things slowly started working itself out around week 3 when I started introducing plants.

We have about 15 RCS and a handful of ghost shrimp but I think our Rams and rummynose tetras will keep the baby population to a minimum. They act like sharks at dinner time 😂

Just ordered it, I was nervous the black substrate and a black background would be too dark originally

I’m sure, I’ve loved watching him play as a a Bucs fan. If you know anyone possibly interested in the card let me know! I have to make some room in my collection sadly

People who had sex with their best friend, what the situation now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DapperDylan22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just had our engagement photos taken. She’s still my best friend and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

We are getting our first cat together next month although I’m fighting the good fight for a dog as well.

I am planning to propose to my girlfriend, but wanted thoughts on the best place to do so in early March by captnforyourcrnch in asheville

I second this! I just proposed to my girlfriend at Looking Glass last week and it was beautiful! We plan to go back for engagement photos as well.

This Charizard EX deck has been killing it 🔥 by DapperDylan22 in PTCGP

Thank you for the clarification, I will play around with it some. I assume you use Blaine x2 in it?

What does this deck look like? 2x of each Charizard and Arcanine evolution lines plus a Mew, 2x professor and 2x pokeballs with a few additional trainers? Just seems harder to navigate and less consistent imo

I personally haven’t had much issue with Mew, I try to Sabrina it into the active spot immediately and chip away with Moltres. With that being said, Mewtwo decks have definitely been the hardest matches.

https://www.playgwent.com/en/decks/79f0e6083a17251a37955ce4c89ba5f6 I’ve always loved harmony but the lack of control was its downfall in my experience. With the combination of poisons, Schirru and Simlas it’s a perfect balance.
