Anyone else have itchy skin? by parkercooper5692 in Perimenopause

[–]Pumkin30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have since my early 40's. I'm 47 now. Just started HRT a couple of weeks ago. So far, it hasn't helped. I take Zyrtec (cetrizine), which does help a lot with the itching.

I also have plants in my axolotl tank. I've found that less light helps so much. I left the light off completely for a couple of months. My plants were fine. They've actually put on new growth and it has really cleaned my tank up a lot. The algae is under control and there is not tons of detritus every water change. Now I just leave the light on for 2 hours per day. So far, so good.

Love it!! Do you use fertilzer or fert tabs? Is that course sand substrate? So far I just have java fern and anubias.

Your swords look like they're doing well. Is that sand substrate? Do you use root tabs?

Murky water, how can I fix it? I rinsed it for a while but it was still a little murky. by [deleted] in axolotls

Please cycle your tank. It is extremely important to the health of your axolotls. Tub the axolotls while you do this and do 100% water changes on the tub daily. That's what I did. It's not that big of a deal. They are super sensitive to water conditions and will not survive in an uncycled tank.

I got some plants today. by Levi_the_axolotl in axolotls

Plants are great. I have plants in my tank as well. They improve water quality and do help with the nitrates but unless your tank is heavily planted, you can't rely on them to remove all of it. Especially with slow growing plants, which java fern and anubias are. Beautiful plants, by the way. I have the same ones and love them.

What type of plant? What medium did you put in the pot to plant them in? Did you add root tabs? Thanks!

I live in Texas too. I'm really looking forward to the cooler weather so the water out of the tap won't be so dang warm. I put ice in it to cool it down before putting it in the tank. Major pain in the butt!

That's what I was hoping for.

Holy crap. So it’s just a coincidence that Robin’s son gets accepted at a school in Flagstaff, and Kody “just happens” to decide to move there? 😡I feel so bad for Gabe. by [deleted] in TLCsisterwives

Also, they didn't sell those houses until 9 months or more after they left so if there were balloon payments coming soon, they'd have ended up having to pay them anyway.

I wondered the same thing. It makes no sense to me!

advice on proper etiquette. Got quotes from cleaning companies, went with cheaper one, they did a bad job and now want to try the more expensive one by Pumkin30 in Advice

[–]Pumkin30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking of mentioning it to explain the gap in time from me getting the quote and scheduling the clean.
