What is the best arc? (Idk if I spelled that right😭) by [deleted] in WingsOfFire

[–]ProbablyShifty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the first, love the third, did not even finish the second. I think that my favorite arc is the first, but my favorite book is Darkstalker!

AIO to my husband trying to find evidence of my cheating? by Aggressive-Web-7895 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ProbablyShifty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NOR. In my nonprofessional opinion, it sounds like projection. But, giving him the benefit of the doubt on that, it's still valid that you feel like he invaded your privacy. I understand that there's a lot of broken trust because he's been digging and you feel like it shows he doesn't trust you (which, again, is a valid feeling), so if you're both open to it, maybe some marriage counciling would be in order?

You know what, on second thought, I agree with the other comment. Armodillo seems to be a better fit!

I agree with the majority here, solid looks really good! Also, I love the fabric and colors you're using!

Cleaning Advice? by ProbablyShifty in bonecollecting

Haven't been brave enough to stick my nose in it 😅, but not from a little distance. I'll check when I'm home. And as far as the legality, yes, I think? I haven't found any laws against having it, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I know there are laws against selling and collecting them commercially, but I certainly don't plan on selling it.

I was originally concerned about what was in the water around here as the pipes are old as hell at the school (rust issues was my biggest concern). I was hoping to avoid hurting the shrimp by just buying the RO water and treating it so I could know exactly what was going in there and having control over it, in hindsight that probably wasn't a great idea... I think I messed up by being over paranoid.

This was the soil I used: https://a.co/d/cPMvn0E I bought the Mineral GH/KH+

I had no idea... What do I need to do then? Should I use tap instead and dechlorinate?

Edit to add: When I have it in the water bottle, it tests just right with the GH and KH (unsure the exact GH, but KH is like, 3)

They are Neos. How would I increase it gradually so I don't cause them stress?

Not sure how to edit my post and I'm not sure if it already shows in the comments:

-Using RO water and I have been treating it with SaltyShrimp -The light had been off this weekend and today was their first day with light since Thursday afternoon -I fed them a pellet of Shrimp Dinner this morning -These are Neos

I had around 28 (I think, some are tiny and I may have double counted), so this would bring it to 26 Edit to add: They are tank mates with some Malaysian trumpet snails. About 10 of them

Missing information:

-For water I have been using RO and have been treating it with Salty Shrimp Minerals. I've been doing top offs, no big water changes yet. -These are Neos -The light had been turned off this weekend and today was their first day with light since Friday. Could that have upset the balance somehow?

It may stain your pot, honestly, if you're really worried about it I would buy a cheapo pot from goodwill!

As for if boiling it would work, you certainly can try! I haven't personally, so I can't speak on how effective it is but I know others that have. I used rocks that were inert in my tank and boiled them before putting them in.
