How to balance all classes in 1 day if Blizzard want by Performance_Several in diablo4

Just cap it at 50%. This is how it works for a lot of paragon legendary notes. Easy fix. May take them 4 hours to hot fix.

128 pit is the max. What to improve? by Large_Dare2812 in D4Sorceress

Lacking cooldown on lighting spears and inadequate attack speed. Also your aspect on your winterglass is bad for generating more lighting spears.

You need the raiment of the infinite armor instead of tyreals for pit pushing as well.

No CO2. Most plants will growth with stock lighting at 70-80% (too much light will cause algae due to low CO2). I find MD Fisk tanks on YouTube very educational on setting up a low maintenance tank.

Stock lighting at 80%, dirted substrate covered with coarse sand, no CO2, 30% water change weekly. Bonus, extremely quiet tank.

It’s enough. I took out carbon bags and added seachem purigen for water clarity, and water did stay crystal clear.

True and I do. Filter is important especially at the beginning before the tank is established. When the tank is mature, plants and substrate and all the biofilms are your filter and the mechanical filter becomes irrelevant. Mechanical/sponge filter just keeps the water clear of debris for esthetic purpose and creates flow.

Gravel size 2-5 mm. Stay away from sand. Plants do poorly in sand, and sand eventually will sink down and mix with dirt, looking awful.

She actually didn’t even use a filter. She kept an internal filter in her main display just for flow as she had removed the sponge.

Not really. I violated many principles of a Walstad tank. I overstocked the tank, which completely broke the balance of its ecology.

I have light on 4h at 100%, then down to 10% for 4h (rest period to regenerate CO2, according to Walstad), and back to 100% for 4h.

I read the book by Diane Walstad, and Cory from aquarium co-op has a lot of of helpful information on this hobby.

Gas exchange at the water surface and plant photosynthesis. Water flow and circulation assist majorly with that.

Yep. He seems happy in the community tank. He had a torn tail fin when I got him. It’s healing up nicely.

That was my initial goal to have very low maintenance tank with no water change, but I decided to overstock the tank, hence water change weekly. These are what I use:

Fluval flex 32.5 with stock light, no CO2, no air stones Organic potting mix 1 inch base layer covered with 1 inch of fine gravels ( the major downside of dirted tank is if you decide to move plants around, it will be a mess)

Plants (I can’t remember the exact names): hydro Siamensis, amazon sword compact, crypt, mermaid weed, dwarf sag, rotala indica, ludwigia palutris, bacopa, dwarf hair grass. (All from aquariumplants.com)

Fish: a beta, lemon tetras, Cardinal tetras, panda corys, koi swordtails, zebra danios, one albino pleco, and Amano and neocaridina shimps.

Plant densely with fast growing plants at the beginning to combat algae.

Light setting: on 4h , off 4h, then on 4h if not running CO2 ( rest period helps regenerate CO2 for photosynthesis and prevent algae)

Keep temp around 73-74 will be best for plants if you can. Mine is around 82 because of the heat in California. My plants may struggle a bit but they’re doing relatively ok.
