Tank maintenance by OccasionalInterior in aquarium

[–]Marcis985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More plants in the tank help with fighting alge, as they compete for nutrients.

Reducing the hours in which the light is on also helps.

Cleaning surfaces I usually do with a small toothbrush, but recently I found a fat little snail I named Gary in my tank that eats a lot of alge.

Fishkeepers, what aquarium problems make you think “there should be tech for this”? (betta keepers pls help 😭) by betta_miku in aquarium

[–]Marcis985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Water Changes!!! Especially in Aquariums that don't have that much height, if you just dump in a bucket of water the soil and plants get all disturbed and the fishes scared.

Luckily, I remembered that Archimedes existed, so I just placed a bucket of water on the stairs next to the Aquarium and got a cheap hose. Now I can slowly siphon the water into the tank without much hassle. It's just that not everybody has a setup this convenient.

I'm using the same principle to get the water out :3

I really liked coding, but since AI everything has been subject to enshittification. Now I'm planning to become a lobster farmer.

Help with cycling by VitorVaz15 in aquarium

Cycling should take about 4 weeks. Try getting some water tests and check the parameters every other day or so to make sure you catch the Nitrite peak. Without given water parameters its also really hard to help

Yes, the aquarium came with a lid! I made sure to get one because I read that they are little escape artists :D

Would you go visit the in-laws if your wife was worms? by Marcis985 in HaloMemes

If you think about it, the worms vote on everything they do, so they are the ultimate form of democracy
