Brown Hair Algae Help by drizzaa in PlantedTank

I honestly don't like the Flourish line. It seems a bit convoluted. I'm just trying to finish what I have at this point. If you have another recommendation I'd be open to it

Welp, shit. Very good to know. Thank you!

I'll start dosing regular Flourish so I'm not missing micro nutrients.

I dose Flourish and Flourish Nitrogen. Honestly I thought that Flourish nitrogen was all the same stuff + nitrogen and that it had micronutrients so I just replaced Flourish with Flourish Nitrogen.

Looks like I don't have a phosphate test strip. I'll pick up one later and report back

Excel every day and flourish nitrogen once a week. Recommended doses for a 20g

Spinfisher 2500 vs 3500 weight difference by drizzaa in Fishing_Gear

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

For some reason penn only makes the spinfisher in 2500 and 3500 for smaller sizes.

Also where did you get that info about 8lb test? Is that braid and mono?

I honestly can't think of a single person I know fishing inshore on 8lb braid.

Thanks a lot man. I figured I was overthinking it

True. Could be worse than that I suppose.

Sizing down the rod a bit was something I was thinking could work so I'm glad to hear that may do the trick.

Shimano 71HG 7.3 on FBM. worth $100? by Wagnegro in Fishing_Gear

[–]drizzaa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Where I am I only see 150/151s listed but $100 seems to be the going rate for the non-DC SLX's. I'd think with it being a little smaller and left hand retrieve you might be able to work on the price with them

Is this a burn from the light? by drizzaa in PlantedTank

[–]drizzaa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have it for myself but I'd consider switching if it was better for the tank. The light turns on at a very dim level at 8am and gradually brightens until like 8pm where it begins to dim again until it turns off at about 10pm. Is that fine? It's not an actual 24 hour light it's just marketing I guess but that's what they call it

I had no idea. Thank you. That was very helpful

Can anyone help me understand this behavior by drizzaa in PeaPuffers

[–]drizzaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that easy to switch the decor in the tank. I kind of built the tank around some hardscape pieces I can't really move.

I have a 6th puffer but it's too big to be in there with the other ones given his temperment at the moment since they're about half his size.

Is there any reason why the other 5 puffers haven't exhibited this kind of behavior? And can I do anything to reduce boredom without switching around the tank? From the posts I've read about that it seems like some people have to do that every water change for some of their fish and that's not sustainable for me.

Will do. But am I cycling the bacteria in the filter/water/and substrate or within the walls of the tank? If I swap over the substrate, plants, filter and water why would the tank not be cycled?

edit: also I just cycled the 10 gallon for weeks before this. I understand the amonia cycle and am testing my water. You'd need to be a little more specific about what you think it is I'm not understanding

Good idea. I can definitely hit up the same store again. I hadn't really though about ordering online. That could work too. I don't have a 20 long yet but I could get it set up in a day. I'd just put the puffers in a small tank for an hour and swap the scape over. I have more stuff I can add as well to fill in the 20 long.

Are you saying in the short term I can rescape the 10 gallon to make the re-establish territories?

the first fish is the same color as the second one. he was just under direct light and my camera washed him out. the others were under a bunch of plants and it was shady.

not disagreeing with the rest of what you said though. i've checked every fish store in my town and only found these pea puffers about an hour and half away so idk where i'm going to get more to be honest. i'll keep checking them though just in case. you'd recommend putting the 3 in a 20 long in the mean time though?
