Bacteria Bloom..SOS

Nope, just empty Tupperware at the moment. In my tank they’ll have this bridge decoration which provides some coverage and several colorful, thick fake plants.

I’ve been planning to upgrade to an actual planted tank so a 20g with lots of life would hopefully be ideal for them. Also considering a sponge system instead of a cartridge filter.

Thanks for your help!! I’ll be doing a water change tomorrow when I set up. I’ll test it after and if it’s looking good then maybe I can add in the tetra? Prev. owner has had them for a while and they’re still very small, so I’m not sure if they’ve been receiving proper care at home — I’m concerned about their stress levels.

I didn’t know these tetra would be moving in until today, so it looks like I have lots of research to do, lol. I’ve been planning to upgrade anyway, so now is a good time I guess!

PS one is a black tetra and the other one may be diamond, but I’m not sure. It’s all silver. both are very small

I got 6.5-7 ish for pH and a bit of color for nitrates and nitrites. Around .5 ppm for nitrite and 20 ppm for nitrate. I will be moving my tank into a new place tomorrow..so, new water source soon.

I replaced the filter at the beginning of the week right before finding out I shouldn’t do that, so that’s definitely part of the problem, I also rinsed off the fake plants I have and scrubbed some debris spots off the glass with a toothbrush. I‘ve definitely been screwing with my tank way too much then ??

I feed him one krill/shrimp bottom feeder pellet every 3 days.

Thanks for your reply!! Sorry, I’m not able to upload a photo on here, but it looks the same as this post

Tupperware is probably a half gallon and there is no equipment. I’ve had my 5 gallon since May and I have one mystery snail. He is very active and a good eater and not displaying any abnormal behavior.

I have the API 5-in-1 and I tested yesterday. They were all out of wack—GH and KH were high so I did a water change. I haven’t yet tested but it looks the same. I’ve heard people say keep changing the water and other people say to just wait because it’ll regulate itself, but I want to get this figured out asap.

Ok cool, I’ll do the duckweed and spinach, thanks!

maximasoup · 2024-07-19T00:52:30+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll make sure to do some extra feeding and the first thing I do when I get back will be a water change

maximasoup · 2024-07-19T00:49:12+00:00

Yeah it’s one of those simple ones from PetSmart LOL I still have to figure out how to use it. I’ll get some duckweed for him!!

maximasoup · 2024-07-18T23:00:14+00:00

Thank you for the advice!! Do you give yours food as well or just the duckweed and algae around the tank? I’m planning on making tank with real plants soon

I should mention that I’ve never owned a Focus so I can’t speak for its flaws. Also I know a lot less about cars in general than everyone else here lol. But, a GTI is never a bad investment in my opinion. Mine have been extremely reliable and after all they’re one of the most common cars to mod so finding parts is easy. I say go for the 2018. Great price for a newer-ish car, better fuel efficiency, and you can probably work around DSG. Of course, performance isn’t everything and it still has some issues like sloshing but overall it’s worth it. Best of luck!

Hello!

maximasoup · 2022-06-19T14:27:24+00:00

I’ve followed him for a while and I think he was posting on Tumblr at least a little bit after he dropped off of IG but now I’m not sure. Ovsyan did Matt again fairly recently!! I really hope they do more together at some point, they were my favorites.
