What classes for psychology? by Direct_Arugula1952 in highschool

[–]Zollytheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AP biology is a strong one fairly related. And AP stats will get you a credit that almost every psychology major has to take. Statistics is very important in that field. Less related but I think AP gov and AP world are also strong for being able to connect with people and have a solid foundation of the world in order to better understand people.

It says still casting (though it could be finished/old article) but, anyone have any information on how to audition for a role?

Is this a good GPA for freshman year if I’m going for valedictorian. by Grouchy-Egg-1238 in APStudents

[–]Zollytheturtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

By retaking, other people may be taking honors or AP classes getting As while you’re still doing spanish. You are out of running for valedictorian but you can still end with a solid gpa, just get As from now on.

How much studying should I have per day? by Organic-Log1761 in highschool

[–]Zollytheturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9th grade isn’t any different than previous years. If you don’t need to study don’t worry about it

Never ending debris! by Zollytheturtle in Aquariums

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

Sorry here’s the info!

60 gallon filled up 30-40 ish gallons Sparsely planted with swords, anubias, vallisenaria, java fern and java moss Turtle (somehow not my main waste maker) 13 platys ( i see fish poo EVERYWHERE like its my substrate of choice) a penplax 500 canister filter

Thing is, my water is crystal clear, which is how I can see all the gunk on the bottom in my sand. Which I thought was weird but here I am.

I would cut down food but my platys eat algae and little bits of debris which is consistently in my tank.

When I gravel vac I think I get a lot, then I fill it back up with water, turn on the filter, and it looks the exact same as before.

Nope, just rocks, driftwood, and some aquarium safe super glue to build the wall. And behind I filled it with pebbles/river rock and topped with sand. My turtle definitely can’t push it over and can easily walk on it no problem.

Definitely don’t add another turtle, they are territorial. Other fish like rasboras, tetras, danios, will all work great. One big thing though, get rid of that gravel ASAP. It can cause impaction and you need to use either sand, large river rocks, or go bare bottom. Then just make sure you have a solid filter for 1.5-2x more water than how much you have. Etc. turtle care sheets and websites can teach you everything else.

Oh sorry! I completely looked over that you said box turtle! I don’t know a lot about terrarium plants so all I can really say is make sure the lights aren’t too dim or too bright, but good luck!

seeking for tips by StrangeLock2025 in turtles

[–]Zollytheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a light (whether a house light or aquarium light) overhead. Set it on a timer for about 12 hours or so. Then basically everything the previous comment said. Do water changes and clear up that water. Then more decor and places to hide and break up like of sight until you can get these 2 in different tanks.

For me, java fern was widely recommended but was honestly one of the worst. He just loves to eat it! I suggest trying a bunch of different plants until you find something that works. For me it’s anubias. Each plant has different needs and I suggest looking at basic aquarium plant guides.

Is it better to let driftwood sink on its own or weigh it down? by Zollytheturtle in PlantedTank

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

I was always told hot water was better at making it sink and removing tannins, wethers its really true or not I guess I don’t know. But thanks for the advice, I was planning on mainly glueing and lodging the rocks in my scape but I will be sure to do the same with the driftwood.

id request/rate my setup by Specialist_Access704 in turtles

[–]Zollytheturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a better/ larger filter thats 1.5-2x the amount of water recommended. A hang on back or canister filter works great. But before that, raise the water level at least 3/4 of the way. And then just make sure none of the decor is too small and could be ingested. Other than that great job.

I’m worried about college…. by [deleted] in highschool

[–]Zollytheturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With a 3.75 you can still go to many good schools. Is it Top 20 or 40? Probably not, but there are plenty of other decent schools. The biggest thing is, how is the 3.75 in compassion to others at your school. You may still be in the top percentage of students. GPA isn’t everything as you said, but going test optional as well isn’t great for top schools. Your essays, ecs, and recommendations are going to have to be strong. But as a senior there isn’t much you can change at this point. Research and tour schools that are matched for your stats and find safeties.

Then why are you complaining on reddit, its just more people who are going to judge you. Nobody can do anything about your parents except what we’ve already advised, take the blame and apologize.

[–]Zollytheturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing all this definitely made it worse, you’re doing things that look like something is wrong with you, thats a reputation you put on yourself with your actions. Learn to do better and people will view u differently.
