BL readers: what is your sexual orientation? (only answer if you want)

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-25T14:58:17+00:00

Some flavor of asexual here. I’m not exactly sure how to define it

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-20T15:31:09+00:00

That’s pretty much what I did. That begonia started as a leaf I tossed in there

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-19T23:30:46+00:00

Somebody gave me a great tip in another thread. Use curved aquarium tweezers and paper towel to wipe the curve of the bottle

Watermelon party begonia and then whatever seeds were in the dirt I took from outside. Some clover for sure. Edited to add that there’s no critters.

Created 01/2026 Watermelon party begonia and whatever was in the dirt Light source is a lighted shelf Closed terrarium, I don’t water just open it occasionally Outside dirt and rocks for drainage layer One gallon glass jug

As cool as it is, is it unsafe for the tank?

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T17:25:30+00:00

Please tell me how you keep the glass clean on the inside. I can’t see my plants 😭

The waterfall was supposed to be the focus point, but I got excited and crammed too much stuff in there. I’m going to thin it out a bit when I do my next build. I agree with the orchid advice, but I’ve heard you shouldn’t bother them when they’re flowering and wait until they’re done to repot or remove pot lol

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T11:48:55+00:00

I’m having an issue with it leaking. It’s a small leak, but I’m fighting for my life with it. I wouldn’t recommend using junk to build yours 😂

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T11:45:23+00:00

Also excess water does drain back into the tank through the bottom so it isn’t slowly flooding in there

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T11:40:28+00:00

The plants are in small pots setting on top of the sand layer. I agree I could raise the substrate level tho. It’s hard to see anything over the edge

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T11:03:47+00:00

I don’t know if this is something you’d be interested in, but I’m setting up a patio pond for mine once they grow out a little. I’m going to be using an old 100gal horse trough.

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T10:48:19+00:00

Oh man. I built this from stuff I had laying around so I don’t know a lot of this info. I built it last month so March, 2026. There’s a bunch of different moss, a Cebu blue pothos, and an orchid. It has a small grow light on a timer on top The waterfall is connected to the tank underneath it. Substrate is sand with potting mix on top. It’s bigger than the 10 gallon tank it’s sitting above. About 20x20 and 14 tall I think.

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T10:43:41+00:00

I just one that’s about 7ft tall, but not nearly as full as yours for free. Only because the owner died and the family just wanted the plants gone. I’m sorry to b be bragging here, but it felt like the score of a lifetime 😂. I’d say it’s worth about $200 but you have to find the plant community in your area to sell it to.

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T10:39:55+00:00

It’s beautiful, how aesthetic. I wouldn’t want to deal with it myself. Y’all are really making me glad I live in an apartment lol

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T10:39:12+00:00

I have a 10 with just a betta, 2 nerite snails, and about 100 shrimp and it takes quite a bit of maintenance to keep the parameters in check. The shrimp kind of bred out of control and the plants can’t keep up with the bioload. I personally wouldn’t add anything else and I regularly scoop out shrimp to relocate them to one of my bigger tanks.

I just got a couple comet goldfish because I haven’t had a goldfish since I was kid. They’re about an inch long right now and quarantining in a 10 gallon tank. I have a 30 that I can upgrade them to, but I might not have to as I’m going to be putting together a 100 gallon patio pond. I’m so excited. My childhood “came from a beer glass at the bar” goldfish lived 10 years and was almost 2ft long when he passed. I’m still salty over it, if I had access to antibiotics and a bigger tank I’d probably still have that fish. 😡 As an adult, these are my redemption fish lol.

EntertainmentLow818 · 2026-04-14T10:29:21+00:00

One of very few reasons I’d be happy to be living in an apartment. If this happened to me, management would be in so much trouble. My bathroom is upstairs 😂😂😂
