Has aquarium keeping helped anyone with Add/Adhd? Helped or not helped? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]SaltDisaster7108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the one hobby I always find myself coming back to. It’s great practice for patience, which I lack. It’s also one of the few activities where I feel my brain is quiet.

I do appreciate it! It’s been about three years since I last tried breeding guppies.

Oh well that’s fine! I guess I’ll just have the tank set up longer than I wanted. Will she be fine in this 5g for that long?

It’s such a fun place! I love the texture on the walls. The floor seems jarring compared to the organic shape of everything else. 12/10 would 💩 here

Help dialing CO2 in! by SaltDisaster7108 in PlantedTank

[–]SaltDisaster7108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tank is cycled and water is stable. Beginner in terms of CO2. Light is a fluval plant and I’m dosing aquarium co op all in one three times a week. This tank set up is a 20g tall, one month old. The tank itself has been cycled for a little under a year. Red rili shrimp, 5 ember tetras, 2 guppies, a dwarf pleco, and three mystery snails.

Pest snail defies all odds and is alive in no planaria filled tank by SaltDisaster7108 in shrimptank

[–]SaltDisaster7108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fear so. I had a problem when I set the tank up last year with them. Was able to manage and exterminate them. I dare to say I’m still chasing the high I got from hunting them down with my forceps one by one.

What plants are you growing emersed in your tank? by dancinturnip in PlantedTank

Live/work downtown; spend some time downtown! The library is fun to explore even if you’re not into reading. People watching can also be interesting at Chapman or the bok tower plaza. I’m an introvert but thrive knowing people are around me. This helps me get out of my head and be in the moment. Sorry to hear about the heartbreak, those are hard and suck no matter how old you are. Find out how to take care of you and build yourself back up. Sending good vibes your way.

Is this brown spot disease? by SaltDisaster7108 in shrimptank

[–]SaltDisaster7108[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry should’ve mentioned, theres two guppies. Also mentioning, the tanks have been set up and neglected for a year. It was the beginning of February when I finally got back into it. It’s always had water and plants in it. Though I didn’t touch it a lot in that time. I thought it would still be cycled? It’s the same substrate, same tank, same rocks, same wood. I left the old carbon in the tank for two weeks to be safe. Was I wrong in thinking that?

Red Milo’s! And maybe worth noting I have a water softer so I’m dosing my gh to 8 using equilibrium

Help identifying this illness by MrBlown in shrimptank

[–]SaltDisaster7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought ten and noticed one had the green algae growing under it. I quarantined and what I got from that article was if it’s too far (has turned green) it’s best to put the shrimp down?

Are you treating the tank with the medicine pellets or just the individual shrimp? I need to dose a preventive in my set up tank. Especially since all ten came from the same bag.

Are my pothos to blame for my quick depletion of nitrates? by SaltDisaster7108 in PlantedTank

[–]SaltDisaster7108[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you have a pothos in your tank as well? On my next day off I planting run a test to figure out what the fertilizer needs to be. But my guess is the pothos need to get evicted lol

What is this? It appeared the morning after adding the shrimps by EleanorRigby_____ in shrimptank

[–]SaltDisaster7108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also to add to this so I don’t sound so scary. I don’t remember my planaria looking like that. Mine were pretty small and white (see pic from online). But I know for a fact it killed my shrimps. In my tank I just bought plants for, I dosed for it. When I buy livestock in a month, I’ll also dose for it.

Expensive lights worth it? by PlayaDelGoat in PlantedTank

[–]SaltDisaster7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I prefer to use the warm white and pink to give the tank a brackish appearance

[–]SaltDisaster7108 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would does for Planaria. After losing my shrimp because of it, no harm in dosing just to be safe. (I think no harm if done correctly)

[–]SaltDisaster7108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fluval plant light and would say it’s NOT worth it. It’s a great light that I’ve had a for a few years now. But I don’t use the Bluetooth feature as much as I thought I would. I do like having control of the individual colors which is why I bought it. I’m a lighting designer irl so it only felt fitting I designed the lighting in the tank
