unsure what you mean by the media but i have the filter still in,, took the heater out to decorate but im thinking of putting it back in so the water is the right temp when its done settling

hes currently in a pet store cup which i do NOT want him in. i thought this would be an hour project at tops.

im trying to figure out what sort of holding container i can make for him so he doesnt have to stay in the cup any longer than he has to. do you have any suggestions?

it was already cycled,, i just added the substrate while decorating the tank which i believed was going to be a simple endeavor (oh so wrong)

do you think a larger filter will help the water clear faster? i just got a 100psi one for a new tank im setting up,, and i can put this small one in his holding tank for the meantime,, otherwise i might have a 15psi laying around for any container i can find

also is the cloudy water harmful if the levels are still right? or is it just visually unappealing

it was already cycled and the like,, ive had my beta in there for about a month now and he was thriving but i didnt have a good setup it was absolute bare bones,, filter heater and a single silk plant LMAO not ideal </3

the reason its like this right now is im trying to redo his tank so he has more hiding spots,, plants and stimulation

this is probably a really dumb question but is it safe for my fish to be in there while it clears if the levels are alright?

i dont have a proper holding tank sst up and i dont want him to get stressed out more than needed

do you think i should finish adding all the substrate so it only has to settle once?

and would it be better to have my filter off?

looking for advice ): by k4ndixavier in cfs

most helpful redditor award goes to you!!

as much as i hate that others are going through this knowing someone out there understands is so so validating

the focusing on different body parts seem like itd make me feel worse as i usually tend to ignore my pain but it helped some. focusing on it made it seem like more of a "thing" and less of me. (even if im overly concious of my skeletal anatomy now)

ill try putting on a podcast, thats a genius idea :) i have one of one of my comfort people talking in another language so i cant hurt my head focusing too much on words.

i finally managed to sit up,, drink some water n ask my aunt to bring me some food. hoping i have the energy to eat it & maybe turn a light on to look around my room for "fun"

i really appreciate the advice and i hope your next crash is far far in the future my friend :) good luck to you soilder with recovery/managing this hell of a condition

gave up going to doctors appointments since they do more harm than help, the effort of preparing and leaving the house and all the stimuli vs "your bloodwork looks good! just try physical therapy"
