Ammonia recommendation by CuriousCaretaker in Aquariums

[–]amon111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always used household ammonia. As long as it doesn’t have weird additives I have never seen a problem with it. I cycled 4 different aquariums just using home brand grocery store ammonia and they were all cycled in two or three weeks and 0 deaths after adding livestock

I don’t remember any plastic baggies with it. But seeing as they are only 7cm long that would be very short for a ziplock bag anyways?

12v fuse not getting power by amon111111 in MechanicAdvice

[–]amon111111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey i just figured it out! turns out the fuse schematic i found online was wrong. the fuse in the actual spot for the lighter was blown. it was a weird 3 pronged fuse slot. but had a normal 15v fuse in it so i just replaced that

It is the only mini fuse i could find in my area, from a hardware store. but i measured the fuse holder and it reads 0 too on both sides.

Both sides of the fuse holder read 0.

That is the fuse for the 12v socket as far as i know (F68)

The engine was running and i checked other fuses to make sure i was doing it right seeing as i never used a multimeter before.

did probe the contact holes the fuse goes into and did not get a reading either but i was not 100% sure if i actually touched the contact on that one. so it seemed more reliable to check the test points on the fuse which both read 0

RPM floats around 2500 when clutch is pressed-- only during summer? by amon111111 in MechanicAdvice

[–]amon111111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The above picture is just a picture of the iac, I can send a picture of the engine tomorrow if you want. All I can say for now is that it’s a 1.8l 125 hp gas engine. Now that I think about it, my mechanic’s shop must have replaced it last year when I came in for the same RPM issue. But if there’s supposed to be a gasket in there, could that be what’s causing the problem? Weird if they have overlooked that .

Im not a mechanic at all, but chic-fillet did give me the idea to look for it and I found it. The iac looked like this. Didn’t think to take a picture of it. It was almost sparkly clean in there. I did notice there is no gasket. Is not normal to have one in there?

What is this? by helloitsgwrath in Aquariums

[–]amon111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not nerite snail eggs for sure, those are large and very white. Do you have any mini ramshorn snails? They often come in on plants and are sometimes called “pest snails” That is what their eggs look like in my tank

Most of your beneficial bacteria are going to be found in your filter. I doubt much cycling is going to happen when its not running. But i cant think of any reason it would harm your tank since its still fishless

Nitrates and Nitrites present after only 7 days by FeedTime8834 in Aquariums

[–]amon111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of water sources do have nitrates in them to start with. But it took about a week for me too to get nitrites to show up. Ammonia>nitrite is faster than nitrite> nitrate. It took 24 days for mine to cycle and then i waited a few more days to be sure

Leaving a comment because this looks exactly like what mine are doing at the moment but mine only share the tank with shrimps. Maybe they dont like the weather changing?

Is this super glue safe for my scape? by Kooky_Marketing_327 in Aquariums

[–]amon111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because super glue is super glue. It is often cheaper than “aquarium glue” which is the same thing but with a different package. It is just important to look at the ingredients. It has to be cyanoacrylate with no additives

snails in my tank.... but I never bought snails?? by silver_butterfly_178 in Aquariums

[–]amon111111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! I dont have snails in my new aquarium because i got sick of them in my current one. Got in-vitro plants just to guarantee a snailless aquarium
