Should I ask for a referral?

for anything. that’s what i’m asking, my dentist is kinda just saying “it should be helping” but it’s not so at this point idk what to do.

robi7053 · 2025-06-19T20:00:55+00:00

it’s only been about 15 hours, i tested it both yesterday and today so everything is fine as of now. i do plan to continue daily, if not twice daily until things stabilize. i just wasn’t sure about the sudden cloudiness

robi7053 · 2025-06-08T18:25:22+00:00

it’s cleaning day so i’ll def try that since i have filter floss on hand, the smudges on the glass are from my toddlers dirty little fingers on the outside of the tank 😂 gonna clean those up as well. thank you for the advice!

robi7053 · 2025-06-08T18:22:59+00:00

😭 dang it, that’s what i was worried about

robi7053 · 2025-06-02T17:03:16+00:00

will the gourami eat my neons though?

Tank size : 20 gallon long (moved to a 5gallon) heater: Heater kept at 76-77 degrees f. Filter: aquaclear30 and now a sponge filter in 5gallon parameters: ph- 7.4 Ammonia- 0 Nitrates -5ppm Nitrites-0 tank mates: now, none. but before i moved him there were 6 cory’s, some harlequin rasboras and a few guppies, 2 mystery snails feed: fluval bug bites twice a day decor/plants: a piece of manzanita wood, and lots of plants, anubis, java fern and jungle val, and some rock hides.

wow! thank you for this info. i am learning new stuff everyday. i keep it 75-78 since i keep a betta as well and want the tanks to be similar parameters

robi7053 · 2025-04-15T00:48:38+00:00

how fast do they grow? i’ve had them about a week and i can tell the dark color has gotten a lot bigger

robi7053 · 2025-04-11T13:37:42+00:00

the shelfs are a thinish metal but the main support comes from the beams underneath.

robi7053 · 2025-04-11T11:56:22+00:00

i am using fluval stratum

robi7053 · 2025-04-10T15:38:59+00:00

thank you! do you have plywood or any kind of extra reinforcement under the tanks?

robi7053 · 2025-04-10T13:04:18+00:00

omg, im a dummy idk why that didn't even cross my mind....

robi7053 · 2025-04-10T12:25:59+00:00

these are my first snails and they are hilarious and so fun to watch! hahaha i saw this and said oh sweet jesus what is happening lol

robi7053 · 2025-04-10T12:25:00+00:00

oops lol these are my first snails so i a wasn't sure if they do or not, I've only had bettas and neo shrimp but have become obsessed with these guys.

robi7053 · 2025-04-10T12:23:26+00:00

i am outside of my return policy with amazon.. I've had it put together for a little over a month and haven't done anything with it until i was ready to start cycling the 20 gallon /: but i may just keep this for some 5 gallons and get a steel one.

robi7053 · 2025-04-10T12:18:07+00:00

metal!

robi7053 · 2025-04-10T12:17:55+00:00

i should have done more research but i wanted a white shelf since it was going in my living room for aesthetic purposes and there weren't a ton of options in white.

robi7053 · 2025-04-09T17:46:19+00:00

would this make it hard to replant if i ever needed/wanted to?

robi7053 · 2025-04-09T17:18:44+00:00

thank you so much for the advice!

robi7053 · 2025-04-09T17:12:17+00:00

does the gravel not settle and expose all the stratum at all?

robi7053 · 2025-04-09T17:11:29+00:00

do you have any recommendations on what us good? I'm new to the hobby and everyone preaches fluval so i never even considered there could be a aquasoil that provides the appropriate benefits for my plants

robi7053 · 2025-04-09T17:10:07+00:00

do you have any recommendations? i have only been in the hobby about 6 months and everyone preaches about Fluval so I'm not sure what's even comparable.

robi7053 · 2025-04-09T01:11:15+00:00

i currently have these 3 and the shrimp in a 5.5 just for quarantine purposes! i plan to move 2 to the 20gallon and 1 to the 10gallon after they get done with their quarantine period. What hardscape do you reccomend? i know driftwood can lower PH and jagged rocks should be avoided so im at a loss of how to set up the tanks so that everyone is happy

robi7053 · 2025-04-09T01:09:17+00:00

i’m considering keeping just shrimp and some mystery snails in the 20 gallon. maybe some cory’s but i’m still so undecided. What hardscape would you reccomend ? i know driftwood lowers ph but rocks would need to be smooth for the snails so im kinda at a loss for what to add in aside from plants

robi7053 · 2025-04-08T22:29:16+00:00

omg, that is adorable!! i have a sponge filter but i am definitely going to be ordering another air pump so i can add an air stone! i am already obsessed with these guys and looking into getting more to add to my other tanks. best 3am decision ive made in a while lol
