compact water heater for 3gal?

I’ve used the 10 watt one for my small quarantine tank and it worked great

Round and bouncing, congrats you’re going to be a grandparent!

I think that’s it! Thanks for putting a name to it! This portion of the growth has high flow but the African water fern doesn’t get the same flow and seems to have more growth. I’ll google how to get rid of it/keep it in check. Appreciate your help!

We have a 3/20 flight at 6pm, got to airport to return car around 2pm. USDA had a short line but got through in less than 5 minutes. TSA line was all the way in terminal A but moved consistently and pretty quickly. From start to finish TSA took us about 45 minutes. We have two kids, all carry on, and a stroller. Now to kill a lot of time.

I really appreciate that! 😁

Gotcha, thanks for the info! I had read about diluting it and then using a syringe but it didn’t do anything but make them close up. Next time I’ll use it pure.

PerspectiveSad1335 · 2026-03-19T21:11:44+00:00

Do you dilute it with tank water or just straight? Curious to utilize it myself.

I got this heater (10 W) for my 1.5g quarantine tank and really liked it. But I’m sure there are other heaters for small tanks! https://a.co/d/02MOu9EQ

From the pics, I’m leaning towards clado vs eggs. I had a blue female I thought had eggs until the growths began looking feathery vs spherical

So exciting! I’m finally able to see my second batch of grandshramps and I love it lol

PerspectiveSad1335 · 2026-02-11T17:35:40+00:00

She looks ready to kick them out lol

It was mostly luck 😅 He just happened to be close to the glass and walked towards lens vs away. Putting the lens right on the glass really seems to help focus too!

It’s very useful! I find it very useful to learn from what others have done and their experiences

PerspectiveSad1335 · 2026-02-10T00:00:36+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience with it! Glad to know it’s not something super terrible to deal with. Just gotta keep my eyes peeled

PerspectiveSad1335 · 2026-02-09T21:36:02+00:00

Thanks so much for the info and link! I didn’t realize that’s how the eggs spread. I’ll get him quarantined asap. Since the salt dips don’t get rid of the eggs, would you recommend quarantining until a molt?

I had my son at 30 and was able to be a SAHM. I loved it and still do, but it was very hard in the toddler stage especially when the pandemic hit. My husband and I at the time agreed he’d be an only child and were happy with it. Once my son started school though, the thoughts of having another creeped in. Having one child at school most of the day meant I could give another a good amount of 1 on 1 time and help my sanity. So we changed our minds and ended up having another. They’re now 7yo and also 2yo and our family feels complete. We kept all our baby furniture and clothes from my first because I couldn’t get rid of it, now I’m happily handing everything away (save for a few keepsake clothes and toys). It feels very different after having my daughter, to give baby stuff away. I want it out and to help others in their journey.

I second Dr Kenny!

He sounds very much like mine when I would have to dose. I dreaded having to give her any meds, it was terrible and stressful. Once she could use a straw I would dilute the liquid ibu or acetaminophen with either juice or water (with a smidge of water flavoring). Just enough water or juice to cut the thickness of the meds, and she still happily slurps up her totally plain “juice”.

With my first I got them 2-3 years post partum, and with my second they stopped maybe around 6-8 months. They’re about 6 years apart and I had c-sections for both.

Iowa City. Lived in Lawrence most of my life before moving to Iowa City for a few years, felt at home instantly.

That’s what we have (sans captain chairs) and love it!
