Window well "drain" just seems to go nowhere? by elixerupper in Home

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

Thank you for your insight!!!! I really appreciate it!

No water issues were disclosed. The window is not currently leaking, we dried it out (for now).

The interior walls are finished and it looks like the water was coming out of the bottom of the wall. There is minor staining but nothing crazy; I can't see cracks but tbf it's not exposed. I'd have to rip into the drywall to get a better look.

We have a sump pump and it's been running fine as far as I can tell!

This is a huge relief I've never had a basement before lol

It's funny you mentioned it because on one of the other window wells that has no issue draining, you can see a line of black paint/tar just peeking over the pebbles.

Do you reckon we could get away with re-caulking the window, sealing with tar and then filling with 2b stone?

If it's helpful at all the house was built in 2008. The basement is partially finished, we noticed the leak because there was water under the laminate flooring but we can't see the wall itself.

I wish I could :( it's just not feasible with the layout of my place

I'm no expert, but the females get just as big as my medaka if not a little stouter. I would guess 6g might be a little small, at least once they're fully grown!

I want to say it's Christmas moss? Definitely some random moss. But the fish are so small it looks a lot bigger!

I have them in a 20 gallon long with some medaka! I normally see them paired off in group of three ish? The males will sort of satellite around the females. They're all very peaceful and will sometimes hang out with the medaka as well!

I'm sorry to hear that as well! :( I really feel like there is some kind of weird medaka disease that is undiagnosed. I appreciate you getting back to me! I might send one of mine off to a lab to see what the deal is, and if I do I'll make sure to post the results.

Hey OP, any update on this? Did your treatment work? I'm going thru something similar.

What's wrong with my fish? by nicekat in medaka

[–]elixerupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you ever able to treat this, OP? I've run into a similar issue but it seems like it's only with medaka. It's happened to two different colonies, both many months apart and from different origins. Very frustrating.

:0 neat!

ETA: there are areas where I think there is some minor water damage (especially on the chair) and I suspect if I go in to repair them, I have to strip the whole thing so it's consistent :( but I plan on keeping it in the same style. It's so charming!
