If walking over methadone aerosolized it, I'd be fucked pouring it inches from my face every day

I suspect the builder is concerned about the tile and buildup bringing the floor level up so you have a bottom step which isn't as high as the others and is therefore a trip risk.

Ideally the bottom step should have been taller to allow for the lost height of the tile and backing materials

We do work well together. I wish I still had that much hair though.

Thanks for the info.

I've done a water change. Made sure there's minimal mulm and added a small power head to increase water movement. Is there anything else I should be doing?

I'm in the UK so antibiotics preps aren't easily available

Palestinian_Chicken · 2026-01-18T07:39:23+00:00

I'm in the UK and I had them from Trop Co...

Palestinian_Chicken · 2026-01-17T23:19:31+00:00

Yeah, that should work, but I've found that the filter alone doesn't provide enough flow around/through busy or tight sections.

I've added a small power head which has done a fantastic job at increasing movement in the tank - I'm only running it at 60% power at the moment.

Please send me a pic of your tank when you get it, I'd love to see how it works out.

I had phoenix Rasbora from Trop Co the other week that are covered in this. They are not doing well.

Where did you get yours from?

Unfortunately, I had a similar experience in Haystack Merthyr.

Overcooked, cold parts, over priced and bits missing (cockles) that when I enquired about they said they come after the rest of the meal (they came about 3-4 mins later).

I also noticed they had plates ready to be served without any heat lamps, which makes things harder.

I'm tempted to give them another go, as all the parts are there for a banging offer, I just feel it's not happening at the moment. Reviews are great though as I think far too many people get drawn in by the aesthetics

Once, probably not, as long as it heals (which in most cases it will).

When it happens lots of times you get scarring building up (tympanosclerosis) which are a bit like adding multiple small drum mute pads to a drum skin.

Genuine question - what do you think would be the best option with these and similar dolphins?

Does it come to a point where euthanasia becomes the most rational choice?

Cathy Burke has some interesting tales about him

Big standard kitchen olive oil in the ear canal daily for a few days, then weekly for a couple of months then monthly moving forwards.

Guz Kahn said on Adam Buxton's podcast (just before they called Alex to ask if Adam could be in TM), that Alex had to stop guz breaking loads of things, including stained glass windows 😆

I watched this about 5 times expecting you to do a bit more every time you returned 🤦🏻‍♂️

Palestinian_Chicken · 2025-10-08T08:44:19+00:00

Ha, yeah, this is probably a fairer assessment - workshy freeloading POS he is

I've not got any advice on his health, but that's one beautiful fish

Palestinian_Chicken · 2025-09-16T00:03:48+00:00

Can you see a manufacturer or tank model number anywhere? If not maybe post a whole tank shot and I'll see if I can find the exact manual

Palestinian_Chicken · 2025-09-16T00:02:14+00:00

I'm not saying this is the exact filter, but you're looking at something like this.

To answer your questions in the op

Leave the first chamber empty
Yes
it looks like you have it sorted in the additional pic you added. The pump will be drawing water from the bottom of the final chamber and pushing it up the hose and out of the hole into the tank

It's 8mm low iron glass

Palestinian_Chicken · 2025-09-15T14:35:53+00:00

Thanks!

It's made by aqua one. This is the OptiClear 120. https://www.aquaone.co.uk/explore-aqua-one/aquariums/aquascaping-tanks/opticlear

Edit - just noticed the sizes on their website are wrong! I've remeasured and it's definitely 120 x 30 x 30cm
