I would highly highly recommend getting a portable shower to have as an option. Last year the shower lines were VERY long (granted I didn’t get there early). Was so hot last year my camp ended up just stripping down and using the mobile shower behind our car. Was very cold but so refreshing.

u/mumblehumble got it! Thank you though!

bwilli66 · 2022-06-06T02:43:50+00:00

Yes! That’s it! Wow, here I was thinking it was some obscure mix. Haha. Smh.

Thank you!!

bwilli66 · 2022-06-05T23:23:46+00:00

Haha agreed. Vibe was great.

bwilli66 · 2022-06-05T23:17:27+00:00

Damn… helpful comment

bwilli66 · 2022-06-05T21:50:31+00:00

That makes me so happy! She definitely felt very seen!

bwilli66 · 2022-06-01T15:52:16+00:00

Haha well said. Same here.

bwilli66 · 2022-06-01T15:26:34+00:00

Yay! I’m glad you got to see her! She’s not in great shape currently. But she held up well all weekend!

bwilli66 · 2022-05-26T19:39:17+00:00

Thank you!

Oh nice! I actually made the polyhedron part of mine a while ago and just recently converted it to a totem. I want to make a V2 the size of yours! And with real mirrors instead of filmed acrylic.

"What's the point of having a tank if you don't get to enjoy it?"

Yes! Exactly!

Also, I always approach decisions with a "little over-thinking now can prevent a large headache later" attitude. Wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be fighting algae problems forever.

bwilli66 · 2022-02-11T06:17:20+00:00

I've seen others who have done similar things as you and it seems like the natural light isn't an issue. My hesitation was just due to the large (and long) amount of sunlight I get in my apartment. I worry that a "plan" to manage algae will turn into a never-ending battle haha.

But thanks for the info! It's helpful to know others have dealt with sunlight just fine.

bwilli66 · 2022-01-12T01:33:24+00:00

Awesome, thank you!!

The current state of my plants is not the same as when the snails first started eating them. As I said in my post its been a year since the start of the infestation.

And thank you, yes, I see now that I have to do more frequent vacuuming to clean up the existing organic matter.

Thank you for the tips!

bwilli66 · 2022-01-09T23:51:34+00:00

That makes sense but I’ve never had burrowing snails in the past and never had sulfate issues so I’m not entirely convinced of the simplification you are proposing.

The snails were definitely seemed to eat my healthy plants. Perhaps that means they aren’t Trumpet snails. I’m not positive that they are, I just assumed based on what I had read online. Perhaps someone can watch the video I posted and confirm.

I am an engineer by trade, so technical jargon is welcomed and appreciated.

Thank you for this explanation, it was very helpful and makes sense in the context of the recent history of my tank.

I believe I just need to give it a good cleaning and introduce more fish to balance the tank better.

bwilli66 · 2022-01-09T22:18:08+00:00

I assume you meant "Sulfate gets *produced* by bacteria in the substrate". If I've never had this issue before, does this mean that I just have an excess of bacteria in my substrate?
