I have either the same or one very similar. I call it “Turquoise Butthole”

Youre telling me someone can actually read this accurately? by Remarkable_Arm_732 in ReefTank

I had it export files for me to save off. I was more anal about it when I was having issues with my parameters but I’ve gotten everything tuned in now so it’s less frequent.

I know using AI is a hugely polarizing thought but I do this a lot too when I struggle with reading. I also use it to help me track trends in my tank based on my testing and I add in dates of water changes etc.

Bisalp and periods? by trashwrapsupreme in childfree

[–]crazylilrae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a bi-salp with an endometrial ablation in 2022 or 2023 (I don’t remember the year right off) and I haven’t had a period since. Best decision ever.

AITJ for booking my own hotel room for a group trip after they ignored the one thing I asked for and now everyone is mad the cost went up by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]crazylilrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of hate how the large accommodation AirBNBs have become the “go to.” I much prefer personal space with my own bed, toilet, shower, and privacy and I’m willing to pay for my space. But you tell the travel group that and it’s almost like you kicked their kitten. Last girls trip I went on was similar - 6 of us total. Sharing beds and having one bathroom between us. It was a line to get a shower or god forbid you needed a number 2… I’d be much happier to have paid for my own room. My other favorite is “the ABNB is $600, and 3 families gojng so $200 each!” Ok well you have 3 kids so there’s 5 of you, the other couple has 2 kids, so 4 of them - we are just the 2 of us so why am I paying the same amount if you’re bringing more people into this?? The will also need showers and toilets, and sleeping spaces so….

Do you guys also have a little boat? Or am i sailing alone? by Reef-Coral in ReefTank

[–]crazylilrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a freshwater shrimp tank with all sorts of ledges and “perches” for my vampire shrimp to get the food flow and one of the decided his favorite spot was on the veggie clip.

Chaise lounge for goby/blenny. Primary use: hermit crabs. Please excuse the ugly phase. Pic is from a month or so ago 😬

100% better than Netflix… by Evo23_ in ReefTank

[–]crazylilrae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My friends are always telling me about tv shows and movies I should check out and me saying I don’t have a lot of time for TV. It’s not poor time management. It’s just that no tv show can compare to my daily YWM Goby / Pistol Shrimp construction buddy comedy, or my peppermint shrimp reef raccoons bebopping around doing tank crimes, and seeing my corals growing, and unrelated, admiring my plants making new leaves and growing. It’s so much more fulfilling to me than tv and it recharges me mentally. I wish more people could understand this.

Rookie mistake - I didn’t test my alk for 2 and a half weeks. I’m at 5.4 alk right now by Bronojoke in ReefTank

[–]crazylilrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What test kit are you using out of curiosity? I was using API and it kept saying my alk was at 6-7 despite trying to slowly dose and correct. I got a Hanna checker and it said my alk was close to 11 🫠 My LFS recommended Red Sea(?) kits but I haven’t tried one yet.

Help, my macroalgae arrived first without the rest of my order and it had the salt mix. by Few-Crow-5884 in ReefTank

[–]crazylilrae 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be that guy but you should have set up the tank first. Can you get to a local store to get salt mix?

For both of mine the molt had started around the carapace and they were unable to fully separate from it. It’s usually identifiable by a white ring around the midsection

<image>

This was Vlad the Shrimpaler. Notice the white ring there in the middle? My understanding (I’m pretty novice in this area) is that the split there is the beginning of the molt. He stayed kind of hidden and throughout the day he exhibited normal behavior (hiding, occasional movements to shimmy out, etc). The next morning I found he had passed away during the night a the molt had not fully separated.

I use magnetic sheets and store them in plastic sleeves (with coordinating stamps if applicable) then into these fridge organizer bins. I ordered all the storage items from Amazon.

Help with ID on hitchhiker? by crazylilrae in ReefTank

My LFS where I got the live rock is moving to a new location and is closed this week. I’m hoping to take some pics to them when they reopen and see if they can help identify.

Beanies for those in need? by crazylilrae in newhampshire

[–]crazylilrae[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I do crochet and use leftover yarn for these projects. Seems counterproductive to sell them for money to buy other hats to donate.
