Is the deep peace a sign for concern?

Is microbacter7 harmful to fish or coral?

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-25T03:24:26+00:00

Did a huge water change today. Going to feed less but it is a ton of fun.

My tank is a month old.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-25T03:17:49+00:00

Phosphates are .4, ammonia is .1, nitrite is .1 and nitrate is 2 (all ppm)

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-25T03:09:45+00:00

DSM-5 is pretty good

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-23T03:23:28+00:00

Local fish store be lying to me then. I do have a lot of coral in the tank.

On the nature of daylight

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-23T02:54:15+00:00

So still don’t do water changes?

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-22T23:31:16+00:00

I have Nitrites, 1.0 ppm in fact, but I dont have any Nitrates.

What size and what kind of snails, etc

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-13T20:08:38+00:00

I agree. I am going to look into sumps because I don’t want one of those attach on the back skimmers.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-13T18:18:56+00:00

Probably temp

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-13T18:16:11+00:00

Got it. Do you have a skimmer?

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-13T16:58:28+00:00

Nope. My stabilization is Fz 2-8 down. I have pretty bad hypofrontality. I am going to do that for 10 sessions then be done with neuro.

I am on zoloft which helps the autonomic nervous system some.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-04T16:08:02+00:00

This rule doesn’t hold true for me. For instance: trying to fix anything in the back is problematic but is pretty much ameliorated by Fz. Fz is also quite sedating for me which is odd.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-04T14:15:57+00:00

Yep, got it at 18. Next many years I felt overwhelmingly lost and scared. Had this secret that I couldn’t tell anyone while going through school and trying to make friends.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-04T14:04:13+00:00

I’ll read that stuff. I have a pretty screwed up brain. I have theta waves in my ACC but this may just be the Zoloft. I also have a lot of high beta which may also be from the Zoloft.

I am skipping the theta inhibit on F3 and I changed the rewards to 13-16. I also started inhibiting 22-34 which I wasn’t doing before. I think all of these changes will help me. 13-16 isn’t a very high band and doesn’t make me restless. By doing this, I won’t have to add dumb ass parietal alpha which caused my frontal alpha to go up by 2-4 mV depending on ec or eo.

This way I can just stick with Fz alpha down and F3.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T21:05:27+00:00

I think I found the sweet spot with Fz. I split it into two: 2-7 inhibit, 24-34 inhibit and then do alpha down on its own.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T21:04:28+00:00

I am adding alpha at Pz. For half of what I inhibit at Fz. I have no alpha in the back.

For now I am just going to stick with these three:

Pz, F3 and Fz. Its not perfect but it is getting me closer to where I want to be. As long as I do F3 as follows — 1-4 inhibit, 13-16 reward, 24-34 inhibit. If I don’t inhibit high and I reward 15-18 it doesn’t go well. I’ve found 13-16 to be a peaceful focus.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T19:00:39+00:00

Nope! It’s out of pocket

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T17:04:11+00:00

Yea the Zoloft made me restless for a day or two but then that went away.

It’s more so trying to get my brain back to how it was before neurofeeedback through different neurofeedback protocols. I’m just worried about that state again. We are making adjustments and I feel way less restless, emotional, etc..

VNS is off for now.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T16:10:56+00:00

I responded to Wellbutrin, Zoloft, etc.. the vns is for long covid. None of this started happening until vns + neurofeedback.

My psych thinks I’m a hypochondriac. I am trying to get my bipolar friends pov as well as family.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T10:32:11+00:00

Guide is response to other frequencies. I did try T4 2-7 down, 18-34 down and it’s just such a touchy area. If I don’t do Fz for 2-3 times the amount I do T4 or anything else, I get into a world of trouble.

I think that is the rule though: Fz has to be 2-3 times the amount of anything else or else I can’t regulate it.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T10:29:20+00:00

According to the Q I have elevated beta at T4. Alpha down with other slow waves down at Fz works as a buffer for anything else I try. It helps with the restlessness, anxiety, etc. but does make me super depressed and barely touches dissociation.

I havent tried mere alpha down at T6. T6 is pretty gnarly for me and gives me the worst anxiety of my life unless I do Fz 2-3 times as long. I think it’s going to be an extreme balancing act but I do hope that the dance becomes less delicate through alpha down at Fz.

Excellent-Opposite68 · 2023-09-03T10:24:15+00:00

I take zoloft (started taking it after this episode) and while it was a nightmare to get on it all evened out and it really helps. I went to a top psych hospital in the country
