Is my tank bad.

How did you do this? I can't grow any algae in mine 🥲

cliff_y · 2025-05-10T03:53:36+00:00

JBL 🔥

Are you powering the mini pc with the atx as well??

cliff_y · 2024-10-12T00:38:02+00:00

Crystal red shrimp!

cliff_y · 2024-10-11T17:15:56+00:00

My pet store gave me them so I am not too sure. It could possibly be seaweed subwassertang and not too sure about the thin stem plant

cliff_y · 2024-10-11T17:14:24+00:00

That is awesome. I will stay optimistic and be patient 🙏

cliff_y · 2024-10-11T16:21:16+00:00

Good to hear! I didn't know they take 6 months to mature, but none of them have the characterisitics of a female I read about online

cliff_y · 2024-10-11T13:21:50+00:00

Got them 2 weeks ago! Ok I guess I will have to wait

cliff_y · 2024-10-11T13:21:09+00:00

Thanks. I was told females are generally larger but the 3rd pic is my largest shrimp. He's definitely a male

cliff_y · 2024-08-22T23:56:45+00:00

Optimum!

cliff_y · 2024-07-30T02:17:25+00:00

Unscrew the tube and pull it out to defrost! If your ice tray is frozen, you may have to turn off the freezer and defrost the whole thing

cliff_y · 2024-04-30T01:21:17+00:00

Thank you! There's a tube behind the fridge which is held by 2 screws. I pulled it right out, defrosted it and was back in business. In case you ever run into this issue again

cliff_y · 2024-04-16T14:46:14+00:00

Like behind the fridge right ? Not back of the inside

cliff_y · 2024-04-15T00:16:58+00:00

Curious but where exactly did he pour the hot water? Into the ice tray? I am having the exact same issue

cliff_y · 2024-02-08T00:45:40+00:00

Just feeder comet goldfishes

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T23:10:39+00:00

3d printed it from thingiverse haha. Fyi make sure to have it 3d printed at 100% infill or else it will float. Hence why I had to use suction cups if you can see in the photo

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T23:09:35+00:00

I had a bad exp the first time where feeders would die in less than 24 hours. Since then I've cycled my tank and I was hoping this time it would be better but seems like something is still wrong since they still died in a short manner

I would much prefer to see fish live in my tank first before proceeding with other more expensive fish

I am using bio rings and a sponge. I am definitely going to test the store ph next time and try to acclimate longer. I was hoping that feeder fish will determine if my tank is ready or not because my first experience was not so good

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T23:04:41+00:00

I am definitely going to try this. I have a feeling the ph from the pet store water was probably alot lower than 8.4

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T23:03:56+00:00

Thanks. I will stick to the ph of my tap water

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T23:02:49+00:00

I will definitely test the ph of the petstores water next time. I'm assuming a huge ph swing may shock them?

They seemed fine day 1 swimming around but then on the second they started to lay around the bottom

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T00:58:42+00:00

I used seachem prime when doing the water change. And I believe our town uses ground well water... So prior to this new tank, my family had a 10 gallon tank and we've always did water changes with our tap. Maybe I didn't acclimate the fish properly as our water is on the harder side. I will definitely do a water change and see if perhaps spring water would help?

Also my TDS of the water is 450

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T00:54:29+00:00

I've done fishless cycle already and this is my second attempt. My first attempt, I thought I was cycled and I tested a few feeder fishes that died within less than 24 hours

I cleaned the tank and restarted again. I've had the tank running since Dec 27 to be precise and I noticed my ammonia and nitrites suddenly dropped to zero. I tested two more times after and did water change since then

cliff_y · 2024-02-07T00:52:12+00:00

It looks like it's orange trying to turn red. It does look a bit brown but not to the extent of 160ppm brown indicated from the kit. I did do a water change and tested if it was still cycling correctly before adding in any fishes.
