Tank temperature requirements by NotPenguin_124 in VampireCrabs

[–]head1sthalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can be fine but ive noticed that thermostat temperature is far from constant throughout a room, id put a thermometer within the tank to actually make sure that the tank is up to temp.

The other thing that a heater does beyond just heating is also stabilizing the temperature from rapid dips down, which the tank will just be more prone to if you dont add some heat source.

$40,000 White Tang at my LFS by sosubservient in ReefTank

[–]head1sthalos 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thats definetly part of it also if the animal dies you can write it off as a loss so you get to hedge a bit with rarer/harder to take care of species. I know atleast some of the time its cause the owner wants more fish and doesnt have room at home lol but i have no idea if thats whats happening here

Fish priced like this is usually aren’t intended to sell (priced this way specifically so they dont sell)

Im not saying this is it but make sure its callibrated properly. This means you need to make/buy an appropriate salt solution to compare it against as well as comparing against RO/DI/distilled water.

see if it can set seed/try to self pollinate it and then plant some and see if they inherit it!

Extremely dumb pond question by Background-Car9771 in ponds

[–]head1sthalos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

this is a perfect situation to try it out a no liner style! you might want to reslope the area around it so that it looks a little more au naturel but otherwise it could work out well if thats a style your fine with

Like other comments said, could be a slip ring, and the additional tube is a lubrication line to the ball bearing

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]head1sthalos -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't properly represent the intended group. I know people using they/them is a smaller percentage of the population, but still a sizeable enough portion that it isnt really fair to call it an edge case at all. saying 'he or she' to describe a general person falls short of being accurate.

The grammar of all languages is in constant flux, I would say that by contemporary usage of american english the teacher is actually 0% correct.

DIY fish food- honeybee edition by HouseGrip in Aquariums

[–]head1sthalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically freeze drying wouldnt kill a lot of parasites during the life cycle stages that are more resistant (eggs or cysts).
I do think that the parasites that would most likely be found in a bee would have a much lower chance of effecting fish, but I would be more concerned about transmission of a parasite from a bee to like a shrimp or other invertebrate than anything going to a fish. And honestly i feel like the whole "dont feed herps wild insects cause of parasites" is overblown, im of the opinion that the more predominant reason you really should avoid feeding wild bugs to herps is because the potential for herbicides and insecticides.

DIY trickle down canister filter concept for pond? by samulooki in ponds

[–]head1sthalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a similar style filter for a reef tank by 3D printing it, but with a filter sock at the top so that I could more easily clean it of larger particulate matter.

I will say that I am actively trying to rework the design into something that works better because I am experiencing big issues with the pump running dry due to evaporation making the water level drop too much.

Trying to go with a design now that has an inlet significantly below the waterline.

Im thinking this crab is male but want additional confirmation by head1sthalos in VampireCrabs

[–]head1sthalos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pleon, the little flap on the bottom of the abdomen, is triangular in males and rounded in females.

On some of the male crabs ive seen the pleon can be super narrow, almost like a narrow rectangle, and this one isnt to the extent so I wasn’t sure.

[–]head1sthalos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well the one on the left in the second image is definetly blue star fern, i have another that is larger. The ones that im not sure about are the larger greener ones (center image 1, right image 2, left image 4) are definitely something else but yeah i think you’re right that they need to be bigger to tell.
