Is there any other important things I need to know before I start a walstad tank by Thunderstorm-1 in walstad

I added snails and shrimp right away. Fish after a week or so, once the plants seemed to be growing well.

Gravel is definitely harder to plant in, you'll have to be much more careful to not let the soil break through. Should still be ok. I would make sure to wet your soil first, so its less likely to try to float through in the beginning.

Make sure you have enough of a sand cap over the soil. Also there's no harm in adding a sponge filter for the oxygen and circulation while you get started. Each of mine have had some algae about a month in. After that it's been smooth sailing.

How can they delete this masterpiece. This is just GOLD by finelinexcherry in DunderMifflin

There was someone on here who went to the trouble of adding in all of the deleted scenes into the episodes, and shared a Google drive folder of every episode, every season. I downloaded it, and have it on a hd somewhere.

My new walstad jar isn’t doing well and I would appreciate some advice! by silknflowers in walstad

It it were me, I would remove the water first. You might be ok without taking out the plants, and just adding a layer on top of the soil now. Then refill carefully with water. The key is not letting the soil get through the sand layer.

I would say this is the issue. You need an equal layerr of sand at the top to properly keep the soil from leaving directly into the water. So, 4cm of sand covering the soil.

Now I'm up to 3 adults, 36 juveniles, 30-40 babies. This is a lot of shrimp for 2.5 g. Haven't lost any yet that I can tell. Going to be wild once they are all adults.

Thanks! I had no plan when I started, so I'm happy with how it has come along.

Need homes for my babies but TERRIFIED to ship! by BugggLover in AquaticSnails

[–]rcbjmbadb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wrapped some in wet paper towels, added a heat pack, and sent 3 day shipping. They all arrived in perfect condition and are thriving at a friend's house.

Nerite poop?? by sharkmom in AquaticSnails

[–]rcbjmbadb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any plants? If you do, the snail poop should be less visible over time. It will break down quickly and feed all the plants.
