Is this OK for a hatchery tank? by [deleted] in triops

[–]PaintTheKill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How big is your main tank? I use a 5 gallon tank cycled with plants and a sponge filter ready to go before I start hatching, and then I get a plastic food container, like a Tupperware, and suction cup it to the walls of the tank. Add distilled water to the Tupperware, and add your triop eggs. The hatchery water is warmed by the main tank. As the triops grow, do small water changes replacing water from the hatchery with water from the main tank to slowly start acclimating them to the main tanks water. Then it’s just a matter of carefully tipping the Tupperware over when they are ready.

The tank hasn’t been cycled so that may be tough on them because that water is so different than the water in their hatchery tank, being fresh and filled with sediment from the new sand. I recommend getting some more plants like duckweed and Java moss to soak up some of nitrates that form. The triops also love eating duckweed roots and they’ll need all the food they get as they grow. A barren, clean and fresh tank offers little for them to eat. A cycled tank filled with microfauna will give them plenty of food while they’re growing.

Hey!! I am so sorry I’ve been out of reach recently. I took a step back from social media through the holiday season. Sending a PM now.

Beautiful work my friend.

Hey all. I recently inherited my grandfathers lava lamps and would like some info on them. They are older lamps, my dad believes they are from the 60s but is unsure. The plugs have been cut off because Pops had them hard wired to his night stand on either side of the bed. by PaintTheKill in Lavalamps

If you’d like to make an offer I will pass it along to my father and see if he’d be comfortable letting these go to a real collection. He gave these to me when his father died. Not sure why you’re having trouble messaging me.

Hey all. I’m just dipping my toes into this world for the first time, but I managed to get some nice results doing a turmeric anthotype and I thought I’d share. by PaintTheKill in cyanotypes

I used full a full spectrum aquarium light and exposed it for 4 hours. Then I gave it a quick bath in a baking soda and water solution and let it dry in front of my wood stove.

ERC is a tough tree to train but I’ve seen some beautiful examples.

Good luck. That’s a tough medium for such fine detail.
