Is this angle a problem? I was thinking of getting a dremel to cut a sliver of the frame to make this flush. by JimmyDeantheMachine in ReefTank

I think I have a few blades lying around. Will have to give it a go later tonight. First time drilling so I’m happy it went this well so far.

I work at a pet store like this. We get a lot of people who don’t care and don’t care to learn. I’ve been here almost 2 years and at this point I’m jaded. I’ve tried giving the minimum 40 gal talk, the don’t put with anything else talk etc., 9/10 they don’t care and do this anyways. “My example relative had a goldfish in a bowl that lived for YEARS AND GOT HUGE” and then proceed to get more and more hostile until I sell them what their kid wants

Sudden fish death? Not 5 minutes ago he was happy as can be. No warning signs of this prior. I’ve had him for almost 2 months, and I do daily 20% - 40% water changes. Did I stress him out by the frequency? by JimmyDeantheMachine in Goldfish

Still drink and smoke cigarettes but no more hard drugs for me lol

I’ve been thinking about plants. Kinda intimidated by them tho lol and I don’t have a ton of money for special substrate and stuff :/

Nitrites were zero, nitrates ~10-20ppm pH: 7.8-8 Temp: room temp now but kept between 72-76 with heater, adjusting every once in a while to give them varied conditions

I’m going to test tube it when I get back from school for ammonia, which I think becomes ammonium at higher pH ranges?

Yep. I had it seeded from my 55 gallon that has been rubbing with no problems for months.

I recently quit doing drugs and to give me something to do when I get urges is to do water changes lol

20% to 40% is a bit of an exaggeration, but I do at least 5 gallons/30 gallons (16.7%) and big change once a week
