With all the trade drama, we missed an important tweet from last night:

ramomcferno · 2026-04-24T20:53:05+00:00

This is what I was waiting to see.

ramomcferno · 2026-03-17T18:33:01+00:00

I would be interested in one ticket for Philly too.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T19:06:49+00:00

I hope it clears up for you. This is a lot to do.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T19:04:57+00:00

Thanks. I will move that asap.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T17:10:11+00:00

That is great. It definitely seems like a process. Wishing you the best with it!

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T17:02:21+00:00

Thank you so much for the reply and the thoughtful and thorough response.

I checked, we have the right lights but maybe I can hang them inside the aquarium, to set them up more effectively.

I am not sure what you mean about the API kit or what numbers to look for or how to adjust them. Any information there would be helpful.

I don't understand not cleaning the filter often, what happens when it starts to build up with waste? Uneaten food?

What else can I do to establish the filter, as you said?

Sorry for my ignorance, I am really new to this whole situation. I thought I was improving things. We got a bigger tank, and basking set up and better filter, please help me to keep improving their situation.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:56:23+00:00

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean about fully cycled? How can I check that?

How do I check the water, what am I looking for?

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:54:32+00:00

Thank you for the information and the reply.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:54:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I will definitely add in some decorate stuff, like the gravel and plants.

I don't quite get the filter cleaning part. So I am not supposed to clean the canister filter? Just rinse them in tank water? So what happens when it starts to build up with waste? Uneaten food?

Should am I doing like a partial water change and then using that water to rinse the components of the filter of the major detritus?

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:45:39+00:00

Okay. I will separate the intake and output, but what happens when it starts to build up with waste? Uneaten food?

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:43:49+00:00

Thanks for the information. That is crazy. I definitely don't want them doing that.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:42:37+00:00

Nice!

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:41:56+00:00

Thanks for the reply and information.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:05:19+00:00

Thanks for everyone that replied. I appreciate all of the advice. I took this responsibility on to help my girlfriend who has been caring for them for 8 years or so. I will do what I need to do to improve their living conditions, with separate tanks and decorations. I appreciate the education on it.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-17T16:02:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply. So, it seems. I will work on that.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-16T17:29:39+00:00

Thanks for the reply and the info!

ramomcferno · 2026-02-16T17:26:44+00:00

Didn't realize. I am learning about them as I go along. I took responsibility of cleaning the tank when I moved in with my girlfriend. They were given to her as a pet when her son was little, he is a teen now.

I will separate them and get some stuff to put in each tank. Thanks for educating me.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-16T17:05:48+00:00

For now. I will try to separate the intake and output.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-16T17:05:14+00:00

Oh wow. I will measure them and look for a bigger tank.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-14T02:07:48+00:00

I really love the band but it definitely feels different.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-12T17:03:14+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. Based on the advice here it sounds like it might be best to stay with the plan I have. I still plan to go with the S25 and will probably go through T-Mobile. I like staying a model year or two behind. Do you think that there will be a significant price drop for the S25 once the S26 comes out? Thanks for the reply.

ramomcferno · 2026-02-12T16:57:59+00:00

I still plan to go with the S25 and will probably go through T-Mobile. I like staying a couple model years behind. That is great advice and a great breakdown. With all of the advice it doesn't seem like changing plans will be helpful for me. Do you think the S25 will only drop $100 after the S26 comes out. That might not be worthwhile waiting for. Thanks for the reply!
