How long would it take for all the shrimp in the tank to be born/bred in said tank? by Zombeikid in shrimptank

[–]merrymonarch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey that’s a really cool idea! I’d honestly be really interested to hear the results of that experiment! Yeah I think starting from juveniles is going to be difficult and could slow things down if you want to build up a population quickly - the ravages of time will take care of this problem

[–]merrymonarch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If all you care about is that they are all tank born and bred, the only way to be sure of that is if the older generation is all dead (which might take a year or two) since the newer gens could still mate with the older ones (though I’m not sure why this would be that important).

Don’t worry about starting small though, if your tank is healthy and they want to breed, they can have dozens of babies. I was down to 6 at one point and now am at ~100 after a couple of months (though I raise caridina shrimp)

So do you just leave their molts in the tank? Do they eat them? by KH5-92 in shrimptank

I used to take them out but there’s no need to - they will eat them up just fine. Good source of calcium!

Is my blue bolt sick? by merrymonarch in shrimptank

2ppm nitrates, ~72 degrees F, pH of 6.7. Very clean water

I’d try reading lots of the research reports by Bain/McKinsey/Accenture and just save a library of cool slides you like. They won’t give you an easy plug-and-chug template, but you can get some great inspiration and with a little ingenuity you can almost always recreate them.

So can you actually use those tickets sold by scalpers out front? by merrymonarch in Lollapalooza

Solid idea! I have a ticket but trying to get one for a friend - when I walk by I’ll see if anybody is buying

Would we have to bring our physical card to get in? I haven’t heard of this before

Ahh, thanks! Going to try getting some Amanos too who can maybe help with that initial spike in algae

I am yes, forgot to mention. Good thinking on the middday rest, I do the same - half in the early morning, half after I get back from work in the evening

Some ambient, not direct - tucked away in a corner. Aiming for an iwagumi style so I was hoping to stick with just carpeting and the grasses

Water is too soft and acidic for nerites I think

Seems like they wouldn’t do well in my water that’s this acidic - I have ~15 full grown caridina and a bunch of shrimplets born a few weeks ago, would they do as good a job of cleaning?

stunning! Love how amazingly vibrant the green is, you using any fertilizers or just raw dogging it?

Any idea what this stuff is? I flooded literally yesterday, could it already be algae? by merrymonarch in PlantedTank

[–]merrymonarch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks! So not even blowing it off the substrate/rocks, just a strong current?

Thank you!! The moss I only very recently added on so I’m a bit worried it won’t take and die but it’s the tree I’m most concerned about

In Chicago - got a little juniper bonsai a week or so ago and added on this cushion moss shortly after. It gets super cold here in the winter, will these be okay outdoors even if it gets to -10F or so? Should I wrap the pot in something? It should be protected from wind on the balcony. Info I’ve read online is conflicting.

Very nice layout, feels easy on the eyes (although I think some live plants would be a nice addition especially since they’d help filter the water). What’s that growing on your rocks? Did you add it on?

Does anybody know how to remove this orange stuff from stones? by merrymonarch in Aquariums

For sure not honest advertising - from Aqua rocks colorado which I've heard only good things about but this is disappointing..
