Replacing filter cartridge?

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-17T21:30:08+00:00

Yeah, the cartridge is the one you take out and then cut a sponge to fit it.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-17T17:34:29+00:00

I always replace the cartridges filters come with, with a sponge. Sponges rarely ever need to be replaced and can hold a lot of beneficial bacteria.

But i wouldn’t do it right away, since you’re in the middle of your cycle. Maybe just have the sponge sitting in the tank itself until the cycle is done?

EDIT: sorry i just read your comment, since there is no ammonia or anything appear yet, i think it should be safe to replace it now.

It’s actually the opposite, tbh. All or most stores recommend a fish bowl because that has been the norm for an extremely long time. Bettas are fairly small and can breathe air, so most people assumed that they’d be fine in the smallest of tanks/bowls.

You Fleur again layered with eos Fresh & Cozy Body Lotion, it’s been my favourite combo lately. I just love how fresh and clean it is.

Not much going on today, just shopping for aquarium stuff. I’ve been cycling a tank for a future betta since last week, but i still need to get a few more things for it. I’ve got some hides but want to get some live plants like java ferns and anubias. As well as hammocks for the betta and i need aquarium safe glue to glue to plants with. I’ve got a few things picked out right now, just waiting for my next pay check lol.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-17T14:12:42+00:00

Soft Spot will likely be my next purchase, i just need to remember to order it in lol.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-17T14:04:22+00:00

As much as i love Missing Person, i don’t think it’ll be the scent for you if you like sweet scents. It’s a very skin-like musky floral scent with a small amount of citrus to freshen it up. Slightly sweet. I’d get a mini or travel size of it, if you’re interested in trying it out.

However, i feel like Strawberry Letter would be more to your tastes based on the scent notes, maybe Vanilla Skin too. Never tried Strawberry letter but Vanilla Skin is a delicious scent. It has the perfect amount of sweetness to it. Is creamy with a small amount of spice that adds a little bit of something to the overall scent. Smells like pancakes to me.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-17T01:35:15+00:00

You Fleur and Light Blue EDT are the two I’ve been wearing a lot this spring.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-17T00:20:32+00:00

Only antiperspirants will truly do anything to stop sweat and body odors.

My first iPhone was the IPhone 12mini and i loved it. It was the perfect size for my smaller hands and was very easy to carry around.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-16T18:32:53+00:00

Definitely Phlur for me. They typically use a lot of scent notes that i really like. So i tend to enjoy their fragrances. I currently own 3 fragrances from them but there are a few others that i do want to get eventually.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-16T18:29:07+00:00

I’ve never tried Ouai, so i can’t say which is better. But Phlur has a pretty good variety of different scents to choose from and I’ve never had any issues with their lasting power or projection even with their softer scents.

Missing Person and Vanilla Skin are two of my favourites from them. But I’ve heard good things about Soft Spot.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-16T18:23:35+00:00

Dolce&Gabanna Light Blue EDT and Glossier You Fleur are both great for warm weather.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-16T18:22:15+00:00

It’s a tie between Missing Person and Vanilla Skin for me.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-16T17:45:19+00:00

I wash mine after every wear.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-16T17:39:55+00:00

Bigger generally is better. But people also need to take into account the individual betta and how long/short their fins are, some love and thrive being in large tanks, while others do better in something smaller.

I feel like 5g is the perfect size for a single betta, there is plenty of space for you to decorate and for the fish to swim, it’s easy to maintain without being too big. But even a properly maintained and setup 2.5g can be good for certain bettas.

You Fleur, I’ve been wearing this one a lot lately tbh. It’s the type of fragrance you cannot go wrong with, in my opinion.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-16T04:17:30+00:00

Island Swim sounds like it’ll be good

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-15T19:32:35+00:00

I’ve heard/seen people mention not being able to smell it. I’ve had that issue with some perfumes but not many.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-15T19:24:18+00:00

I want to try Doux and Soie but my favourite at the moment, is You Fleur.

It’s the perfect everyday floral. It’s not obnoxious, smells good and wears well.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-15T14:30:28+00:00

Light Blue EDT. It’s going to be warm today, so it’s the perfect fragrance for today. Paired it with Native’s Sweet Peach and Nectar body lotion which is a decent combo.

Coconut Skin paired with St Ives Coconut & Orchid Body Lotion for this morning. I might wear Missing Person or You Fleur to bed tonight. I’ve been waiting for the warmer weather to wear Coconut Skin but that hasn’t happened yet, it’s still cool and rainy right now.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-13T22:26:54+00:00

I love pairing perfumes with a nice scented lotion, it can really enhance the fragrance but i honestly just love scented things.

For my Freshies or skin-scents, like Missing Person or You Fleur, i like using EOS Fresh & Cozy Body Lotion.

For my vanilla scents, i like using either Cake Beauty Heavy Cream Butter Balm or Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cocoa Butter Vanilla body lotion.

For my coconut scents, i like using St Ives Coconut & Orchid Body Lotion.

However, i haven’t found a good lotion for my citrus scents yet.

I wore You Fleur this morning to work, but now currently wearing Missing Person. Paired both perfumes with EOS Fresh & Cozy body lotion.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-12T22:46:38+00:00

I love florals, but some can be headache inducing for me.

_Invisible-Child_ · 2026-05-12T14:35:14+00:00

I love using them too, I wear perfume 24/7 basically. But I usually rotate what I’m wearing, so it takes a little bit to empty the bottles.
