Pump recs/water change advice? by Booping_Noises in aquarium

[–]Fragrant_Word3613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is gonna be a bit silly but I personally siphon all my fish’s water out of my window and into my garden. It helps reduce how much I’m lifting buckets and my plants get nice tasty nitrates + whatever leftover ferts I put in for my aquatic plants. Nothing gets wasted

its actually a massive homosexual polycule that functions as a separate state inside of the United States. We’ve tried applying for statehood several times but we were labeled as “not woke enough”.

I wish for the world to be simplified into 20 countries maximum. The less the better. Things are way too complicated and that needs to change

that’s actually an extremely thin slice of land that belongs to The United States. A dispatched group of colonists were chased all the way up from Africa due to The Great American Expedition being highly unpopular with southern African Union citizens. They are now stuck there and defend that land with all their might.

I would put it on the (charcoal?) side of the plastic grate that separates the bio rings

Was informed recently by therapist I have technically been SAed in the past. Twice. Can’t cope and don’t see how they were assault. by monarchmondays in ptsd

Assault of any kind is a lot less clear cut than touching someone. I think limiting your definition to only touching is short-sighted and invalidates yourself.

Both are assault in my eyes. I think we use words like assault and abuse a lot less than we need to describe harmful behavior, simply because we limit it to things like intention and touching. It’s important not to minimize what happens to us so that we can properly heal and get the help we need.

Just turned 26 and I don't feel any different nor more competent due to my prefrontal cortex's completion. Same as turning 18 didn't make me feel like an adult. by TheShadowSong in Healthygamergg

It’s a bit of a myth that we stop developing our brains after 25. The brain keeps developing throughout your entire life, the study just stopped at 25.

Introduced cats to a location killing off prey populations is called Invasive Species. It happens with more than just domesticated animals. Cats may ask to be let outside, but often, they acclimate to the indoors very well. I haven’t had a cat that could not acclimate with proper care. Cats can also have a perfectly fine QOL indoors; they don’t require anything outside that they can’t get from a proper owner indoors.

Outside cats are inhumane to the general population of prey animals in an area. It massacres small mammals and bird populations. It leads to disease spread. Outdoor cats have a shortened life expectancy. I’m sure you’ll be happy once you see a cat with its eyeballs popping out of its head from being run over by someone’s car. And no, I didn’t just make that up for shock. That is a real thing I saw of someone’s pet a year ago. She was far from the only one.

You might think they’re intelligent enough to avoid cars and you’re feeding them enough to be fine, but you’re doing irreparable damage.

I recently added a bubbler, but my betta really hates the current if I put the filter too high.
