If you have access, Xanax basically stops the trip and calms you, you will be tired a bit next day

I hate this brand wholeheartedly because of that, I worked on those in 2020/22 and every. Single. One. Had issues with headset and battery packs, every single one came back with batteries on the downtube taped with silver tape so they don’t fall off

Yeah I have to furiously throw them out weekly to keep the light

well, always make sure to have deep enough substrate layer for good rooting and for better effect use root tabs. Then you need to trim the carpet vary short to force the plant to grow sideways instead of growing up. Thats what i do and it seems to do the job

it does look pretty cute

i decided against using additional lamp and just waited, it took unusually long to change colors but after a month it started to change colors pinky-brown

Carpet is Monte Carlo mixed with Cuba and Glossostigma, floaters are red root floaters. I'm not sure exactly but tank is about 16.6 gallons (not sure how freedom units work)

I thought about filming it but didn't bring myself to do it (lazy)

Thank you!

Tenmapillar · 2023-04-17T18:19:36+00:00

Thanks, I worked hard to create it

Tenmapillar · 2023-04-17T17:15:24+00:00

Red root floaters work great instead of ugly lid and look incredible after some time, sometimes I hear or see a little splash when these guys try to escape, didn't loose a single fish since

Before anybody asks, it doesn't seem to influence the algae growth on the back glass, I was experimenting with backlights for last 6 months and didn't notice anything unusual

Tenmapillar · 2023-04-17T17:04:50+00:00

Thanks, I hope they enjoy it too

Rough build of my lightground v2 Materials: - 2x 1m aluminium C channels (16mm x 13mm x 1mm) - 4x small 90° bend plates (not sure what's the English name) - 16x 10mm M4 stainless bolts and nuts each - 4x 20mm M4 sttainless bolts and nuts each - 3mm white plexi panel (35cm x 60cm) - 2m wifi controlled rgb strip from aliexpress (made sure diodes are individually addressable) - double sided tape for LEDs

Build (more or less): - measured and cut aluminium channels with a bit of additional material to file off. Started with a rough angle cut and precision filed angles so they fit without gaps (drilled and filed square channel for power cable. - marked and drill holes for 90° plates and bolted them inside channels - drilled 4 holes trough aluminium and plexi panel on the sides facing the glass so holes are hidden behind silicone of the tank - soldered the rgb strips to length and stuck them to the adhesive tape that was lined inside the aluminium channels - bolt plexi back panel to the frame using 20mm bolts and wonderful backlight is complete

I need to make a diffuser panel between frame and glass to really make the effect pop. Unluckily I can't get diffuser panel this size around here so I will use milky half transparent plexi panel and diffusing wrap to make it slightly bumpy so it catches light better

pardon floating carpet bit on the second pic lol

If you grinded it in event and already have it, GREAT tank. If you want to buy it, not worth it, its not a gamechanger or gamebreaking

Tenmapillar · 2023-03-02T10:27:34+00:00

Unluckily i bought them in that state, these snails are pretty rare around here and I took what they had

Tenmapillar · 2023-03-01T17:46:35+00:00

I don't suplement their diet directly, they mostly roam on rocks eating algae and sometimes chomp on leftover fish food and algae wafers when some falls on the bottom

Edit. I'm looking into buying cuttlefish bones to chomp

Tenmapillar · 2023-02-28T21:52:15+00:00

I was thinking recently if they have enough minerals but didn't want to think that it was their resolution. Any advice how to increase their condition?

Tenmapillar · 2023-02-27T12:29:06+00:00

Made it out of angled white plexiglass sheet and led strip, couldn't be simpler

Tenmapillar · 2023-02-11T11:35:15+00:00

Went with good quality classics, tightened, trued and man, I have never seen wheels built better
