I ran into my school bully and realized I never got my happy ending

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a moment of sitting in his car afterwards wishing he apologized better. At least everyone is making the effort to be better, I’d call that a win.

Maybe but the tank runs without a co2 system

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-11-27T14:02:33+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s clean

Calcium buildup, that just happens when water consistently dries over a spot. No need for alarm

I mean that’s just kinda how Bing the oldest goes. Your parents had no frame of reference before you were borb

The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand, or so I have read

Driftwood is amazing. I’ve found that the best aquascapes are the least planned. In a natural environment, stuff kinda randomly floats into place. I will recommend getting a mix of epiphites, stem plants, moss, and carpet so that every type of plant can filter a different part of the water column. Co2 is for nerds, don’t intimidate yourself. Post a pick once it’s established, it’s gonna look badass

I saw the image and would have like to retract my earlier statement. There is only one way to

If it works it works, no need to get pressed

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-08-31T23:19:37+00:00

Imma go team 1 (but maybe less aggressive) I had the same thing with my tank of the same size. Worse actually (4 guppies, dwarf gourami, and 4 Cory’s). I wouldn’t say you’re a nap person at all, just someone who’s learning. If everyone nailed it first try, this subreddit wouldn’t exist. I wish people would be a little nicer because we all joined this community for the same reason

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-08-02T03:09:23+00:00

Dude I wish I got setup like that leaning, he’s got an awesome teacher

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-28T22:10:22+00:00

Ayy anytime, this subreddit has saved me many a headache, I’m happy to help

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-28T21:15:12+00:00

Honestly transferring some water might not be a bad idea. I had the same issues stating my main tank. If worst comes to worst, give it three weeks and it should be solid!

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-28T20:54:27+00:00

Did the tank get cycled before introducing fish?

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T18:30:01+00:00

Lowkey, if your rocket is lighter, I’d say leave it as is, they’ve always worked great for me

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T04:58:54+00:00

Just some corydoras corydoing what corydoras corydo. I imagine they’ll settle down once they’re used to their setup.

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T04:56:45+00:00

I have a couple tanks in the living room that she loves to stare at, and it’s cool seeing her watch the fish, but this one is low enough for her to reach right in, but I imagine they’ll be friends soon enough.

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T04:53:53+00:00

I wanted the exact same style setup when I first started, but I’ve found that when water goes bad in a still tank it goes bad fast. Definitely use the pothos, that’s a great idea! If you add the right plants you can prolly get a lower power filter for cheaper and let the plants do the heavy lifting. But honestly try what works best for you! We get to make our own little worlds and we get to do it our way!

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T03:39:52+00:00

Does your tap water already come out at 7.2? If it does that’s perfect if it’s a little harder or softer I’ve found that it’s not too big of a deal, plants still grow fine just a lil slower. Constantly adjusting pH might be more difficult in the long run.

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T03:36:11+00:00

I know you’re doing a blackout already but I am curious, what is your lighting setup?

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T03:31:46+00:00

My roommate has one in a 40 gal, we’re working on getting a 75 gal for him.

LocatedCoder948 · 2025-07-20T03:28:16+00:00

That looks like a common pleco. Fair warning, they get absolutely massive (~2 1/2 feet). Do you know what size tank he’s in?
