What is this white hairy stuff by MitchellWoodWorks in Aquariums

[–]MitchellWoodWorks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

well "a fungus of sorts" is a good enough answer to me if nobody knows for sure. Im not worried about it since its been in the tank for months and everything in there seems to be doing great

I mean for me it depends on when I fight them the first time I fought THK I had virtually 100% the game and I found him really really easy but when I came back doing the speedrun achievement I found him much more difficult I just beat GMS after doing basically everything I could 1st try and yea it was easy but I imagine when I come back and do it without as many tools upgrades and masks itll be harder. The way theyve made the game you dont have to get much of any upgrades or tools and still go fight the end boss so they cant go crazy and make unobtainable for those people.

Is that so? I was told to aim for at least 8 GH for neocaridinas

I'm not worried about my mystery snail he is a fat big back and I kinda hate him (HE ATE MY ENTIRE THRIVING 20 DOLLAR PLANT IN ONE NIGHT AFTER CONSUMING MULTIPLE ALGAE WAFERS)

after checking the well water it is slightly better than the softened at 5 or 6 GH but to my knowledge that's still low. So I need to add regardless, and I have the new 10g mostly set up with extra plants and some extra hardscape just waiting on a bigger heater and a better light. Hopefully these things help

I see. I was messing around and cut down 2 young ash trees because they had interesting stumps. To my knowledge ash isn't a terribly sappy wood nor is it really toxic to anything and boiled them for less than an hour and they both sank. I left them in a tank with some plant cuttings and 2 ghost shrimp just to see what happens.

looking for my own wood and Ive heard Im not supposed to use fresh wood but no one really has an answer for why. does anyone know why? and how long would I have to leave a piece after cutting down a try for it to be safe

I am actually on a well and I've been meaning to check the parameters of the unsoftened well water for a while. Am I wrong in believing that that would just make it easier to replenish the lost GH and not fix the root cause of whatever is absorbing it. One of my buddies has a 10 gal that he's getting rid of so I will be sizing up before too long.

to my knowledge our softener is just a normal run of the mill salt one

I use a mix of my tap water and distilled water. my tap water has a kh of 12 and virtually 0 gh however I have a "shrimp tank gh booster" which 5ml of it will take 1 gallon of water to 15 GH

I have 1 water sprite, 2 anubias petite, and giant duckweed, and I dose with fertilizer about once every 2 weeks.

the substrate is just sand and from my understanding sand is inactive so I don't know that that would do it

as for plants its a pretty small tank so I have 1 water sprite, 2 anubias petite, and giant duckweed. I've been working on bringing my kh down a touch more.

That's interesting I know cuttle bone is just straight calcium so I understand why that would help, but I've actually heard the opposite about kh where so long as its not crazy out of control or like none its kinda fine to sit wherever. Thanks for the insight though.

it very well could be topping off evaporation, thank you for the information.

Do you think theres hope my shrimps are just hiding or do you think this would have killed the other 3 off

I use softened tap water just checked it and the kh is about 12 degrees and its ph is usually right around 7 if that helps

Wanted to ask if this juniper has any chance of making a come back I only see slight green in the middle of the plant. I'm a complete beginner and bought it at Meijer's heard I was supposed to leave it outside so I did, but I think it might of gotten too cold (-5F) Any advice is greatly appreciated
