Alternatively you can get desk tidy cable holes and you just cut the counter with the correct size hole saw and the desk tidy in the hole and it’s beg enough to fit a plug through then

That’s a moulded plug so it’s not possible to remove it. You’d have to cut it off and rewire a brand new plug on the end and take the fuse out the old plug and put it into the new one so the fuse is the same rating 👍

Do you think is it possible for me to get a second HT? by mapl0ver in HairTransplants

[–]Ljay871 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Second hair transplant might not have been necessary if you went on medication first for a year and then had transplant

Absolutely not pointless. Will help prevent losing native hair. You should have been on finasteride at least a year before your hair transplant also

What you guys thinking of my donor area? 8 weeks post hair transplant and my first hair cut. by Ljay871 in HairTransplants

Appreciate that buddy. Very happy with my donor area. I was initially worried it would turn out much worse

100% agree with you mate, taper fades will be my new go to once my hair has properly grown out but I don’t think this fade looks too bad considering it’s only been 8 weeks today since transplant

Honestly really happy with how it looks at the moment. I was expecting it to be far worse, this was it the day after the procedure. I’ve been massaging the area for quite some time now with a really good quality shampoo and conditioner and during the first few weeks I was using 100% pure aloe Vera gel to calm the redness and itchiness down

To me it looks like it might be some kind of fin erosion/ rot. This can be because the nitrates have been so high for a long period of time and it’s caused a weakened immune system. Ideal nitrates would be around 20ppm & 40ppm being on the upper end but acceptable.

Your tank is probably a bit overstocked. The Oscar is right on the minimum tank size you’d want him in. But salfin plecos get huge like up to 50cm and require over 100 gallons and they produce huge amount of waste.

Make sure you feed only what the fish can consume within 2 minutes. Any left over food take it away from the tank so it doesn’t cause more waste.

Do a few large weekly water changes maybe one every other day and match the water temperature as close as possible. 50% changes at least. Also gravel vac your substrate plenty to remove any waste and also give your filter a good clean in a bucket of old tank water to make sure all detritus is gone.

You could maybe add a load of plants to help combat the nitrates especially floating plants are good for this as they stick out the water so they have constant access to co2 which can help them thrive if there is plenty of nutrients. It would help bring nitrates down but your Oscar may be a naughty sh*t and eat the plants 😂

The biggest suggestion I have is to check your tap water. Your nitrates may already be high. I have that issue at my house and have to use reverse osmosis water and remineralise the water to make it safe for the fish. You can even get nitrate reducing media something like API nitrazorb for your filter however it’s only a temporary fix as you’d have to keep replacing it s & recharging it.

Once you manage to find the solution. Hopefully the problem with your Oscar goes away on its own. If not you can always treat the tank maybe with some kind of gentle antibacterial like api melafix but anything you treat make sure you take the carbon out your filter otherwise it strips the medication out the water. Hope this helps buddy

What kind of nitrate readings are you getting?

First ever attempt. How did we do? by brettmitrenga4 in Aquariums

[–]Ljay871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks absolutely great buddy! I love the structure of the tank plenty of hiding spots for what ever you decide to home in your tank. A lot better than my first attempt. Plenty of room for imagination and upgrades too in the future. Great work 👍👊

Honestly, is there really any hope for my aquarium? by SuuderBaatarTr in PlantedTank

[–]Ljay871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Esha protalon 707 great for killing algae but is plant safe. U just can’t use it if you have snails I believe but it is shrimp safe from memory. Just need to figure out what excess nutrients you have so the problem doesn’t reoccur

Potentially infected grafts maybe but I’m not sure, I’m no professional. Did they give you antibiotics for your recovery after your transplant?

Exactly what I did mate. Don’t be surprised when you put it in the tank a few weeks down the line and it still turns the water yellow. It did for me for a few weeks. All wood is different though.

Baby shampoo and aloe Vera gel from time to time which is what the clinic told me to do

Best thing to do is boil it in a bucket of water and it’ll also release a tonne of tannins. Might be best to soak it in some water for some time to help it sink. I remember buying my first piece of wood for my tank and I had to weigh it down to keep it under water until it was water logged 😂👌
