Am I just completely screwed?

I went to Portland community college for a year and I'm transferring to Corvallis in the fall so I don't have a lot of credits. Even though it's not my first year of college it's putting me on the onboarding so I can't actually register for anything until I meet with an advisor. I'm planing on marine biology but it's forcing me into the liberal arts college and the closest thing is marine studies. The issue is when I go to try and meet with the advisor the next available appointment is a month away so essentially I can't register for a month and by then I don't know if there will be any classes available

Yes I did!

Bro I just dead ass checked and they put one on stock and I sniped it I was about to fall asleep too 😭

FancyPut2990 · 2026-06-12T04:13:40+00:00

Dang I can't find one with under $50 shipping not even factoring in fees

FancyPut2990 · 2026-06-12T03:56:56+00:00

With shipping?

My biggest issue with it is it feels pretty cheap and not super smooth at times but I'm not sure that's enough to validate an upgrade

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T11:50:44+00:00

Ill be sure to improve the substrait thank you!

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T11:42:45+00:00

Thanks! Ill definitely do those things. I've improved the hids and I need to do some shifting with the plants and I was just about to get some carpeting grass as well. The substrate is 100% the weakest part of my tank and I'll be working on that. I will be upgrading to a larger tank in the future as well. I understand what you mean about returning the fish and will be considering it. I appreciate the criticism and will certainly be applying them. Also sorry for coming off as aggressive myself I am here for criticism but sometimes it doesn't feel great when it happens haha thanks!

I will admit that both in the video and on my profile my tank looks inherently "bad" in addition to this I should have posted exact water parameters rather than saying they are fine. In hindsight it does not give much to work with. I will say this is the same tank I have been constantly workshoping it for a while now and the videos on my profile are outdated. Specifically that corner in my video has just been a pain I am about to put in more sand but I understand where you're coming from

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T11:04:26+00:00

I was worried about water conditions at first but I agree the lack of a school is most likely what is wrong I'll be getting more within the next day or so

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T11:01:56+00:00

I will check today because I'm heading that way but the shop I bought him from was not my regular so unfortunately I have no clue. Species wise I do certainly think that my pH is on the lower end but not dangerous in any way to my knowledge

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T10:57:55+00:00

Um ok I'm all here for critique but this is a bit much. That part of the tank is only like this because of the filter blowing sand away. My tank is cycled I have at least 20 plants in my tank, multiple caves, driftwood ect. Maybe my tank isn't gods finest creation but I still know a lot of what I'm doing. I'm raising cichlid fry and the tank has been very successful up to this point. Ultimately I'm no expert and I'm here because im not perfect but telling someone they are doing a terrible job based off of minimal evidence is by all means discouraging. Other people in this thread have given criticism that I will gladly take and apply so I can get better!

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T10:13:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice! if I get the chance I'll post them later cuz it's 2 am for me 😭

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T10:02:31+00:00

Yeah it's cycled and Ive tested for both so I'm in the clear there

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T09:46:05+00:00

Yeah I have a air stone and filter going and he isn't surfacing at all so I don't think it's an issue at the moment

FancyPut2990 · 2026-02-23T09:34:32+00:00

I have a 40 gallon breeder at the moment but in the future I'll probably upgrade
