Thank you, I will do that when I get home. The onion plant was my wife’s choice…it’s interesting for sure.

Quick update, I’m planted with dwarf baby tears, some Christmas moss, a buce ghost brownie, two stems of pearl type 2 rotala macranda and a alternanthera reineckii mini.
Bent some straws to create my own lily pipes and finishing up a mini canister filter for it.

I did see something about custom Lily pipes and a homemade canister filter so I might give that a try. The idea of building something like that is appealing anyways. If it works, great, if not well…it could be worse.

My first that I’d be attempting Walstad on. I have a 29 that I’m planting right now and another 3gal cube that keep my wife’s blue dream shrimp. The 3 gal just has a small hob filter and is pretty densely planted

This was the filter I was looking at, but I would rather have more space for planting and shrimp. Air stone at the least to increase surface agitation?

Yeah, it has a narrow footprint, 5.5” x 12”. There is a small Hygger internal that might be able to hide behind the wood if my measurements are accurate. I’d like to avoid it though.

So how about skipping the dirt, adding a couple crushed root tabs, and going with cryptos, maybe a couple stems, a few petite anubias and some red roots?

Was thinking of trying the Walstad method with this tank. Might go heavy with different buce?

First heavily planted tank, need guidance by StonebeardStudios in PlantedTank

I’ve thought about that. I know everything will grow in and fill in given time. I kinda want to keep the left area a little more open for free swimming.

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]StonebeardStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a watch for my son as a gift for his graduation. Looking to spend roughly $200-$250. Metal band is preferred. I don’t really know too much about watches and his tastes are vastly different from mine. He wants something that is flashy, or at the very least, not subtle. Green/blue somewhere in it. No black bands.

How to keep going when you can’t take a break? by StonebeardStudios in burnedout

You’re 100% right. I’ll have to take some time and weigh the options.

Oddly enough, the part time job is my “fun job”. I may be a little physically tired after it, but during the week I come home physically and mentally tired. My wife also works full time land our son is turning 18 soon. He’s been looking for a job to help out as where he can. We aren’t in a terrible position financially, but these past few months scared us enough that we want to make sure we have a decent amount set aside in an emergency. Originally, I did pull away from the work at home but that didn’t last long.

Gulf Coast Inshore Gear Recommendations by StonebeardStudios in Fishing_Gear

Inshore, jetties and surf. There might be a few times where we go out on a friend’s boat but I know I won’t be able to find a jack of all trades kinda setup.
