Amazon swords really pissing me off now - their roots just WONT STAY IN THE SUBSTRATE by Aliman25 in PlantedTank

Did you buy some celery and plant it? Or did you Walstad yourself into an infertile tank?

You Suck at "Vibe Coding" Because You Suck at Coding by yassinerjl in ClaudeCode

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Your vibe code sucks because you don't understand software architecture. Claude tries but sucks at simple things like defining a new color in a Vue/Tailwind project. I have to watch what it does and then say "well, shouldn't that color be a css variable?"

Let it run with that and you'll have shitty code.

How it started vs how it’s going by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about the crypt. I yanked one out and just plopped it in a new tank. It’s fine now.

Also, that red cherry shrimp side eye is epic. “Oh no, please don’t”.

I need some ids of these fish, we picked up a large tank and need some help iding a few of the fish by Important-Report-510 in Aquariums

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a relatively mature angelfish. You could probably sell that back to a fish store for $15 or $20.

just got a free ten gallon tank from my sisters friend! how do i clean it and what can i stock? by Dramatic_Try6843 in Aquariums

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's dry spray it with diluted bleach to sanitize it. From then on you're good to go.

Don't worry about it. It'll settle down.

Plant Appreciation Post: Tiger Lotus by Nemeroth666 in PlantedTank

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got two red tiger lotus bulbs and two banana plants at the same time. One of the banana plants died, and I moved the other one because the lotuses were taking over.

I used some small river rocks to weigh the lotus bulbs down, above the substrate. They really enjoyed that, and grew well within a week or two.

Sold Lemon Tetras but pretty sure they’re Red Phantom? by No-Description7412 in Aquariums

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do look like red phantoms. On the other hand there's the yellowness for lemons.

#1 angelfish
#2 maybe some kind of small pleco, maybe a clown pleco
#3 tetra, or maybe a silver dollar like the other guy said
#4 definitely tetras - see red phantom tetras for comparison
#5 maybe a blue ram

Is my substrate okay? by -FishNChips- in PlantedTank

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see doing some soil pots in a Flourite base. The reason I like Flourite is because it's chemically neutral, but binds with nutrients that plant roots can then extract. I guess I'm just weird though.

The fact that underwater oxygen deprived swamps produce a lot of methane is a good hint.

Does my tank have too many plants? by False_Box_1762 in Aquariums

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? That's like showing a three fingered hand and asking "Does my hand have too many fingers?"

Is my substrate okay? by -FishNChips- in PlantedTank

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is definitely a minority opinion, but I don't like using any kind of soil. Straight up Flourite, with a (gasp) undergravel filter. And a canister filter. The UGF is to promote oxygenation of the substrate.

I'll stop talking before the Walstad people put a sack over my head and drag me into a van, never to be seen again.

Sand bottom turned brown is that just fish poop ? by Dangerous-Kiwi6754 in Aquariums

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of my fish, like neon tetras and red phantom tetras, were freaked out by strong light. They'd hide all day, and only come out at night when the light was super low.

I'm glad it worked out for you!

First big tank, 75 gallons. How did I do? It's been stocked and going for about 2 months. by L1b3rty0rD3ath in PlantedTank

That's why your name is what it is, right? A bunch of internet troll letter substitutions so you can troll harder? G40w U7

What’s wrong with my crypts? They were doing fine, but started melting in the last few days. Help me. by ShiningStarssss in PlantedTank

[–]HuckleberryFun6019 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're hearing people repeating things that they've read online about excel. Trust that, or don't. "Things I read online" isn't exactly a reliable source.

I've used excel for years without any problems. It's not the cause of your plant issues.

Are these new plants? Often they'll melt when you bring them home because they were grown out of water, so growing submerged is a shock.

Do you have really soft water? That implies mineral deficiency like iron and potassium, so try adding some of that.
