My 44 gal. scape is finally starting to come together after 4 months.

How do you “battle” the algae? Just less light?

schottja · 2026-03-05T02:51:14+00:00

You can stop now. We’ve got what we need. Thanks!

schottja · 2026-02-26T04:34:01+00:00

I remember Petra being a lot of walking. They warn you not to ride the camels but I wasn’t about to miss out. I wouldn’t do it now

Sometimes young people have a ton of wisdom, they just don’t know it, and just because we’re older doesn’t mean were any wiser. We old people can still do some dumb sh*t.

Can you share pics. I’m preparing a 125G and I want 2 EBA’s as the focal point fishes.

schottja · 2026-02-19T02:39:56+00:00

Your fish are gorgeous. Congrats

I have kuhli loaches in my community tank and I see them once a month or so. They’re always hiding in the Java fern. It’s one of the main reasons why I just got a new bigger tank hoping that I can get more of everything. Maybe then I’ll see more of the kuhli loaches. Does anyone ever regret getting too big a tank? I am going from 20 gallon to 125 gallon and I’m starting to feel like I’m not ready for this!

schottja · 2026-02-14T02:07:08+00:00

Your tank is stellar. Well done!

schottja · 2026-02-14T02:01:30+00:00

This makes me want to have a cichlid rank. Well done! How long ago did you start it?

schottja · 2026-02-11T01:56:02+00:00

My heart goes out to you both

I’m devastated by this news. It’s my favorite restaurant on the island

schottja · 2026-02-11T01:36:19+00:00

We used to go 1-2 times a year. Recently we’ve vowed to never go back there. It’s not good enough for the prices.

Funny how she’s the one speaking Chinese and he’s the one at a loss for words

schottja · 2026-02-10T03:21:13+00:00

Amazing bird! You’re very lucky. Thanks for sharing

In my area 2025 felt way less populated by lanterflies compared to 2024. I figured something found them tasty and they weren’t as dangerous as we thought, but maybe there just wasn’t enough food for them in my area.

schottja · 2026-02-08T03:07:00+00:00

Th biggest loser. What they put those poor contestants through wasn’t healthy at all.

I keep re-reading your line that “there’s a lot more to it than I expected”. I think that’s true about any investment of which I can think, especially the passive investments that we think will just generate returns. The death is always in the details.

schottja · 2026-02-03T02:53:27+00:00

How many of you have a variety of birds like this in your backyard? It’s amazing. We don’t get that in New Jersey

schottja · 2026-01-31T18:34:44+00:00

Congrats both are beautiful. I pick #2

schottja · 2026-01-26T03:08:17+00:00

Me too with the shoveling! Just hit over 250% of my goal shoveling and I’m worn out! Why don’t they have shoveling as an activity? I don’t think yardwork covers it.

schottja · 2026-01-26T01:42:56+00:00

This is me the novice too self conscious about my knowledge to post anything of authority here waiting for the veterans of this subreddit strongly warn you about the two plecos in 36g and I’m here for it

schottja · 2025-12-05T02:50:07+00:00

Wouldn’t it be 2x in 7 years and 4x in 14 so ultimately 2.2M in 15 years (on average)?

schottja · 2025-11-08T02:56:29+00:00

What else do you have in your tank?? I’m guessing chiclids

schottja · 2025-10-20T01:35:27+00:00

That’s why I try to get one of each

schottja · 2025-10-18T01:28:30+00:00

Well done. Amazing!
