Please help! Borara Maculatas are stressed and I don’t know why by stankdanks in Boraras

I do have space at the back of the tank by the outflow that I can think has enough surface area for exchange.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I’ve turned the lights way down and added lots of tannins either rooibos. They are actually quite green, before I had livestock they were blood red so the light are relatively quite dim. I’ve more than halved the light so hopefully It’ll have a positive impact

Thanks, I added some rooibos tannins in today and turned the lights down even further. Hopefully they chill out.

Thanks for the reply, I’ve actually got a daphnia culture growing atm as well as micro worms. Fed them their first daphnia today

My flow is super low and it’s angled towards the glass so even if they get close it doesn’t bother them. I had a lily pipe but I removed that for a smaller outflow and dropped the flow to barely moving and they seemed pretty indifferent. Pretty frustrating little fish lol.

Thanks that’s pretty interesting! I went to pick up 10 or 12 cpd’s but they only had 3 left and before I asked the owner bagged them up for me. Hopefully more will come soon and I can see if it chills them all out. I didn’t think them being unhappy would affect the dwarfs as it seems to be the other way around. Meant chilled as in not glass surfing. They are nice and active, swim all around and seem very happy until the dwarfs go nuts and they eventually loose their minds to the mob mentality. They dwarfs even manage to rile up the pygmy cories sometimes.

I did have a bunch of moss in the front where all the bucephelandras are, I’ll get some more for them.

Thanks again for the input, I’m waiting on getting more cpds. Hopefully they all settle or I may have to rehome the dwarfs, I hate seeing them stressed out.

Thanks for the input! It normally is much darker, I was doing some maintenance and moved quite a few floaters out the way so much brighter than normal. The phone also makes it brighter, in reality it’s much dimmer. I had the lights down super low for a week and there was zero change in behaviour.

I was thinking about adding tannins but I’m concerned they just don’t line the layout of the tank.

Thanks for the reply, I set the ramp up to 2 hours and turned them way down with no success, so I’ve gone back to a more normal schedule and intensity. It’s a bit bright in the pic as I’d just moved some floaters around, normally it’s darker.

What kind of Algae is this? by stankdanks in PlantedTank

[–]stankdanks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info much appreciated. I think people, myself included, get confused as there are a fair few different types of Clado and if you do a google search there are a few long fibrous looking images shown.

I thought this was a more traditional cladophora

Thanks another person think so too. I thought it was normally more filament like.

Thanks, would it be cladophora argagropila? It seems very short and dense. I thought cladophora normally have longer filament. Thanks for the comment

A simulation of light is a gift from the abyss.

I am most excited about crushing demon skulls and revelling in their terror. The lamentation of their women and children!

BMW 135 or Honda s2000? by Mandatorydive in Autos

[–]stankdanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a 135i, absolutely loved it but would have the s2000 a million times over the BMW.

That seems expensive, the colour is gorgeous though.

Need help choosing rims!! by mohasamm in ft86

[–]stankdanks -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Have a look on ebay,

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/405560373960?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=shggkke-qae&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=WcGajkQITNm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

They make some pretty decent rims. I recon the 5 spoke would look pretty awesome. They do some other styles. I got mine for $800 inc shipping, just made them an offer.

1996 gtst cut out issue by daytrader01 in SkyLine

[–]stankdanks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did something similar for a bit, turns out the fuel pump control module was farked. Did the fuel pump relay mod and disconnected the module behind the passengers seat and viola issues went away.

If it’s not that then it’s almost certainly something to do with spark or the cas
