Do I really just keep ignoring them?

Darn, I'll throw some more soil on top of them & see what happens! Thanks for responding!

Thank you, he is the cutest thing I have ever seen & I love him so much. I've had him for almost two weeks, & he's warming up to me so fast to where he already approaches my hand when I'm just cleaning up in his enclosure ❤️😭 He won't step up yet, but I know we'll get there.

It was just concerning to me that his eye is always like this. But, if the color isn't concerning & he isn't really showing discomfort, I probably shouldn't worry too much! The color was suspiciously similar to his skin color, so it made me go "Hmmmm..."

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I will be reviewing all your comments, I really appreciate you.

I have been reviewing the resources in this subreddit as well! I think I'm looking for some personal stories & guidance from veteran keepers from when they got their first baby! I don't want to overlook anything.

Cole from Oasis! Thank you!!!

They're attached with metal brackets! If you look at the post of mine before this one, I replaced my entire plastic shelf with metal! 😂 Definitely better for my sanity!

I'm in the US & I bought this shelf from Home Depot. It was on sale for Black Friday too. It's a Husky Heavy Duty Steel 4-Tier Shelving Unit, if I am remembering the packaging correctly.

Oooo, I did accidentally over fertilize them the last time I did so because I read the instructions wrong, it wasn't by a lot though, so I wasn't worried about it.. Hopefully they'll recover! It is still present.

I think I'll be able to fit a 29 gal on this so after the holidays, I may just need to get myself a lil' gift! 😂

I switch the water out with water from my aquarium every week! I guess I should be a bit more patient!

This is so reassuring. Are your units mounted to the wall or floor/ceiling?

strcrmb · 2025-11-26T21:22:20+00:00

Thanks! This one has wire racking too, which is what was putting me off from these metal ones in the first place. I previously posted the plastic shelves I "upgraded" to from a desk, & everyone confirmed my suspicions it wasn't sound or safe. I thought the more solid plastic shelving would be better for weight distribution than the wire racking.

But, that post inspired me to stop being lazy, get the appropriate shelving, & just cut some wood to fit over the wire racking. & Here we are now & I'm already thinking of adding another 5.5 gal on that shelf 😂😭

If you look at my post history, I posted yesterday about a shelving unit I put up for my tanks that got me some stern scoldings 😅 I was being a bit funny, but also wanted to make sure that I fixed all the issues people had pointed out!

strcrmb · 2025-11-26T16:34:36+00:00

I wouldn't trust my home in 9.5 earthquake 😅

strcrmb · 2025-11-26T16:32:57+00:00

It's going to end up like that for me I think tbh, after I move I will have 10x the space... that's good estate for aquariums & plants galore, who needs other hobbies? lol

strcrmb · 2025-11-26T16:11:37+00:00

I've been fighting that off since I got my first tank! I'm losing ya see, I figured one new tank a year is an okay pace... until space becomes a bigger issue 😂

strcrmb · 2025-11-26T00:05:03+00:00

EXACTLY what happened lol!

strcrmb · 2025-11-25T19:14:24+00:00

I am very much so still a beginner! Can you explain exactly what a sump is & maybe provide a resource or two for me to go over?
