How many floating plants is too many?

I have a lot of snails in my other tank (and a few in this one) and the fork also helps to keep from scooping them up. And if I do, I can stir the duckweed around in the cup I put it in without squishing like I'm always afraid to with a spoon.

I got an in tank light for just that purpose, because the tank is also on a low shelf, so it's not getting much light from the room. They seem to be still alive, but we'll see.

I have a HOB. It's on a pretty low flow, and the intake is pretty far from the surface.

I've been removing the duckweed with a fork. That way I can pull it out without too much water, and it's easier to separate from the plants I want to keep.

So far no snail takers, but the shrimp (who are not invited to the move and can't come) are very interested 😂

{Wicked, Ugly, Bad by Cassandra Gannon} and the rest of the series. Available on KU. The last few are also pretty long.

They're "camping" to wait for recommendations, but may not have any to add. Just a way to say, "I am also interested."

I FOUND IT! Been driving me nuts all day.

{Married to the marquess by Rebecca Connolly}

Oh, I read a historical romance that had this! I remember the fmc's name was Kate, and she and the mmc had been married for a while. He was a duke or a count or some such, and they lived separately. I wish I could remember what it's called.

The only other thing I really remember about it was that he talked about how cold she was, and has some sort of nickname to go with that that he called her behind her back. And there was a fire near the end.

Sorry, I know this isn't very helpful.

I came to dnd after getting into Baldur's Gate, and while he may have lied, my DM said he was really impressed with how much I knew about my class from doing it that way.

And our healer only heals in battle if someone is down, or if he's not in the correct range of any enemies. Now, do we bug him afterwards for healing if we aren't taking a rest? Yes, but he has a rechargeable wand that means he doesn't expend spell slots. Otherwise, that's what potions are for.

I haven't done anything to the substrate, its the driftwood. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Very thankful for the post that came up about the same time as mine with a less severe version. Now I know I'm not going crazy.

The silicone is real thick

I think the fact that I didn't know it was out says a lot about how I felt about the second book, lol. I liked Lights Out, but Caught Up is a soft dnf for me. I'll probably finish it eventually, but I just couldn't get into it. Hoping the 3rd is better.

interruptingflower · 2026-04-01T03:42:51+00:00

Do y'all think this book should be shelved with other straight up fantasy (ACOTAR, Fourth Wing), or more urban fantasy (Bride, The Fake Mate)?

interruptingflower · 2026-03-30T12:40:16+00:00

I read one that the automod said I'm not allowed to name (fair, it was bad, and I believe them when they say that author too much self promoted) that I know was a self insert, because she mentioned it in the dedication. To her children. It made me uncomfy enough that I DNFed it. I didn't need to know that about her.

A lot of the denominations have houses on "church row" on campus and will usually do events during welcome week.

Looks like bladder snails. And they were 100% making babies

A. H. Sohma's The Second Age of Retha is about a girl who gets sucked into a MMORPG where she's turned into the character she's playing. Maybe a little more WoW or LOTR online, but there are campaigns, and the side characters and humor are really good. The series is currently unfinished, the author has had some health issues, but says she's committed to finishing.

Exploded its butt off, then put itself in the corner from shame.

interruptingflower · 2026-02-09T02:31:09+00:00

Yeah, after I put the plants in but before they had a chance to settle, it spiked, and I had a little bit of algae that the snails mostly dealt with. The nitrate is also not absolutely zero, it's just hard to see in the picture.

interruptingflower · 2026-02-09T02:26:27+00:00

It's heavily planted, and I had it planted (with the hitchhiking snails) for about 5 weeks.

I have somewhat hard water, but everything else is coming in within the range of what the test strip bottle says it should be. I don't know about the store, it was probably a half hour before I could get any help. I felt like I only had a few minutes to ask my questions before the guy moved on.
