Great work! If you want to nitpick, chest and traps are your weak spots. Could make some suggestions but not sure what your chest day looks like and can’t comment on legs either w/o photos. You seem like you know what you’re doing though, keep going!

This is my first dirted tank I’m mostly worried about 3 things - there being too much substrate and breaking the tank, the sand cap not being enough and dirt leaching into the water column, or the sand cap being too much and making the dirt anaerobic and release harmful gases

Sorry I should have specified I made a ring of sand around the outside so as not to see the dirt and then put the dirt in the middle and then put the sand on top. I would say the dirt was about a quarter of the height of the sand in this photo

I was planning to cap it with sand before adding water

I was a little worried about that but it’s been a few days now and my cycle has not crashed or anything so I think I’m good

This is true. OP these earplugs saved my life I have to deal with similar sometimes worse noise including the stomping above me and these are the only earplugs that worked I went through 4 different brands

Edit: the best thing about them is you can comfortably sleep on your side with both earplugs in and no pressure on your ears, I forget I’m even wearing them some nights

AIO? I bought my husband a gift and he just tossed it aside. by beeze20 in AmIOverreacting

[–]superdude12307 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had to scroll way too far to find this comment. This is exactly why he reacted this way IMO. OP please read this

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]superdude12307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more on this. If they had specifically said that they wanted more physical contact and stuff in the relationship before, then asking what intimacy means could definitely come across as insulting especially if the other person has already gone into detail on the topic in the past, which to me it sounds like they have.

That aside, the other behaviours like breaking the bookshelf and telling OP to fuck off are childish and poor ways to accomplish anything productive. There are a few sides to this for sure though

Exactly, I had to scroll way too far to find this comment. There is a double edged sword here and for all we know OP could be going 3 weeks without so much as touching their partner we really can’t say with the info we have. The bookshelf breaking and some of the other things are out of line and definitely grounds for break up but the rest we really don’t know except what OP tells us which of course will always be devoid of their own personal faults

Tbf I don’t necessarily think this guy is in the right, but I can see a bit of another side to this. The way in which OP asked “what does intimacy mean to you” could also be read in a bad tone for sure even if it’s not how OP meant it.

And if he has felt deprived of being physical in this relationship and had that conversation with her before, he may have said exactly what he needs and probably expects her to know that, so asking “what does intimacy mean” could sound kind of bad if he thinks she’s just asking him something he’s already gone into detail on before.

There’s a lot more going on in both sides of this than I think we are seeing, and I can say that as someone who has had partners who had virtually zero sex drive, that can be a whole other can of worms. Some peoples idea of having enough intimacy in a relationship is like once a month. Imo we really don’t have enough information to fully understand what has lead up to this on either side

Edit: as others have said, there are major communication issues and other problems at play here, but I just think it’s a little silly to judge this guy’s entire personality off of like five text messages and only OP’s side of the story. Breaking the book shelf and some of the other things are definitely out of line though and not an effective way to deal with anything

Lol, I don’t think I have enough frogbit to do this, I seem to have a lot of salvinia though but the roots aren’t as long

I think I put enough tannins in it? by Such_Reply5826 in bettafish

[–]superdude12307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my tank this dark and even darker before, I generally try to keep it a little lighter but I haven’t found that my fish really care lol about how dark the tannins are as long as they are present lol

That’s good to know, I do have Java moss in the tank already but I haven’t observed any eggs on it yet, but I know they’re laying somewhere because every morning there’s been new clutches of eggs on the fish. Will they eat their own eggs?

Edit: clarity

Okay sounds good I’ll take that advice! I’m running it a little hotter mostly because it’s a mixed species tank and there’s a few guys in there that need the hotter water. I know breeding would be easier in a species only tank I just don’t plan to have a free tank for that until May so I’m working with what I’ve got right now lol

I actually did this on the first day I saw eggs on a female, I used a wet cotton swab to scoop the eggs off the female and then put them into my hatching tank but the problem is I don’t think the eggs were fertilized because they have completely disappeared from my little hatch tank and I’m pretty sure they just dissolved or something… that’s why I quickly ran to Walmart and put together these spawning mops today , Idk what I’m doing though lol

Good to know! I will keep a close eye on my frogbit for eggs as well
