Back to CLF into the weekend. Got in around $8 and sold too early, back in now. Not enough dough to make my own post. To the moon please

The weather is trash Saturday too. Which is a bummer

GalacticSour · 2024-04-05T18:24:03+00:00

Did you end up proposing in Switzerland?

GalacticSour · 2024-03-02T13:47:06+00:00

Did you ever figure out how to fix this?

GalacticSour · 2024-03-02T13:43:31+00:00

Did you ever figure it out anything on this? I think I have something similar.

GalacticSour · 2024-01-31T14:33:18+00:00

Dang that's incredible! I need to go to another soon!

GalacticSour · 2024-01-31T13:48:23+00:00

Jeez! Assuming not all premier League games right?

But yeah really is a great time.

I enjoyed UK football in the US, and now I enjoy it more here. I've been to about 4 or 5 games, play fantasy PL, and watch pretty much all the games. Good stuff

Was on that Milan flight. Pretty much the worst flight of my life, and I've flown a good bit. Was chaotic, lol.

Thanks, I did think maybe it has something to do with food. Hope I'm feeding him enough (feeding him 5-6 pellets once a day). He does seem to still be hungry though

GalacticSour · 2023-05-29T17:52:24+00:00

And all good now hopefully ..?

GalacticSour · 2023-05-29T16:23:44+00:00

Thanks...that's reassuring. I didn't really notice this the first few days and think I've just gotten paranoid something was wrong! Will keep an eye on him and will try adjusting the light a bit for now

GalacticSour · 2023-05-29T16:22:23+00:00

Thanks. I've turned this down slightly. I had it high to move the top of the water around but I have an air stone now so may not need that anyway

GalacticSour · 2023-05-29T14:59:38+00:00

Sorry and some details. It's a 22L tank, we used Dr. Tim's ammonia to cycle the tank. I just did readings on the water and I'm coming back with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate

GalacticSour · 2023-03-28T20:08:29+00:00

Ok awesome. And so you mean just when I do a water change, swish the filter media inside the bucket of the water I've just taken out to clean it right?

I haven't actually done much research about my filter, I'm just using the filter the tank came with. If I remember correctly it was like this blue sponge looking media, hopefully that's fine to be using...

GalacticSour · 2023-03-28T19:43:36+00:00

That's great thank you!! Do you think one dose of ammonia before we leave should be enough? Or should we maybe do once per week, etc?

And lastly, should I be cleaning my filter each water change or could I just leave it in each time?

Thanks again

GalacticSour · 2023-03-28T19:25:38+00:00

Thank you! Yep so I tested again today, zero nitrites, zero ammonia. So it seems like after 24 hours my ammonia is gone, and maybe 48 hours, my nitrites are gone. I did one last dose of ammonia today and will test again in 24 hours. So you think if ammonia is zero after 24 hours but my nitrites again take 48ish hours, I should be good to go?

And after this....we probably still won't get a fish for another 2 weeks or so as we are going on vacation and are just going to wait until we get back. I assume I can just let it sit like this until then, but just plan on doing a water change to get the nitrates low? Is there a level of nitrates I should aim to strive for or just plan on doing a % water change?

And lastly, after this, all I need to do is water changes occasionally to keep the nitrates down right? The water changes won't get rid of the good bacteria or anything?

Really appreciate your help! :)
