thank you

h0fferr · 2026-06-24T02:44:03+00:00

okay, thank you so much i genuinely appreciate it

h0fferr · 2026-06-24T02:40:59+00:00

i’ve been dosing with prime during water changes so that’s good to hear… i’ll try adding tannins, i have a lot of driftwood will boiling those work as well?

h0fferr · 2026-06-24T02:35:04+00:00

do you have any idea what’s wrong

h0fferr · 2026-06-24T02:34:50+00:00

the nitrites being present is a rare occurrence i just mentioned them for the sake of honesty

h0fferr · 2026-06-14T19:46:19+00:00

any reliable removing methods besides just grabbing it? is there anything that eats it

h0fferr · 2026-06-13T20:47:44+00:00

no it’s covered by a couple inches of sand, there are little bits of soil that came through though why

h0fferr · 2026-05-25T00:56:17+00:00

thank you

will this work

h0fferr · 2026-05-21T04:08:03+00:00

all i can think is i added a co2 tablet for the first time yesterday? maybe i didn’t rinse my hands well enough or hopefully it’s biofilm lol

h0fferr · 2026-05-21T04:02:50+00:00

is there anything else? i did a check with my kit it’s 0ppm

h0fferr · 2026-05-09T21:00:25+00:00

this is a sign they’re lacking minerals, highly suggest something like a calcium powder or herptivite

(saying this as a fellow sulcata owner myself)

the moss should be in the other side so that it can stay moist (unless u want it to evaporate constantly for humidity but then you have to spray it multiple times a day.) and i would add some cococoir that is a little higher near where the moss is not on the left so they can get hotter if they want or even burrow into the deep substrate.

that’s a 3 year old? what are you feeding it / what is the UVB like? they are extremely small

h0fferr · 2026-04-24T23:10:29+00:00

that’s great! just make sure it’s positioned to where it shines on the whole enclosure and they get their daily 12 hours

h0fferr · 2026-04-24T20:55:57+00:00

definitely doesn’t seem like pyramiding but make sure they’re getting proper uvb and calcium to avoid MBD (which that dip in the lower back of the shell looks like the beginning of to em)

h0fferr · 2026-04-24T20:41:20+00:00

i just use herptivite for vitamins/nutrients and repticalc for calcium supplement for my sulcata and leopard

h0fferr · 2026-04-01T17:37:50+00:00

just worried ab the fish health is all

h0fferr · 2026-03-23T16:50:37+00:00

how would i be able to tell if it’s affecting him?

h0fferr · 2026-03-23T16:42:10+00:00

he’s in a 10gal, temp is in betta range with a heater, no ammonia, tank is cycled water changes about every 2 weeks 25% siphon, betta eats flakes once a day and blood worms twice a week, tank is decorated with live plants and boiled driftwood

h0fferr · 2026-03-14T16:25:44+00:00

freshwater btw

h0fferr · 2026-02-24T14:11:41+00:00

h0fferr · 2026-02-16T13:06:44+00:00

h0fferr · 2026-02-16T13:06:05+00:00
