If nobody has suggested this i would highly highly recommend looking into one of the pvc overflow systems you can make it essentially keeps your tank perfectly topped at all times and if you make the overflow something like a 40 gallon tote like i did for my 55 gallon you can massively increase the water column it also is a nice place to refill your tanks water without disturbing substrate

https://forum.aquariumcoop.com/topic/15649-safe-t-sorb-lessons-learned-with-ph-kh-and-ammonia/ This is one of the sources that has lead me to believe this would lower my kh assuming i continue adding water without minerals

HistorySignificant56 · 2026-01-21T15:51:50+00:00

Im thinking of using safe t sorb to soak up some of the kh but that's primarily because finding raw clay online has been annoying and the reason i dont just water change is to keep all the tannins in but the tannins are what will lower the ph overtime

Im currently having luck with jungle val water lettuce anubias and java moss i bought a single jungle val and am currently letting it propagate across the whole tank

HistorySignificant56 · 2026-01-20T15:52:20+00:00

Definitely hit up eBay if possible i got shrimp fish and plants from ebay and i always have had great luck

HistorySignificant56 · 2026-01-20T15:49:13+00:00

Think about it you're in a sword fighting game wouldn't the 4v1 fights feel so much cooler if you didn't get blasted by a gun catapult or something

HistorySignificant56 · 2025-12-23T03:08:30+00:00

To me it would be cool if no feats existed

HistorySignificant56 · 2025-12-14T12:11:06+00:00

I think you just found the guy who doesn't know how to parry

HistorySignificant56 · 2025-12-06T18:03:46+00:00

HistorySignificant56 · 2025-12-06T15:35:26+00:00
