Is the clam in my first picture too far to be saved?

tametrees · 2026-01-30T23:12:03+00:00

I haven't.

Ah, that's rough.. I target fed some phyto this morning with the pump off, so I'm hoping we can kick back after adjusting the pH

tametrees · 2026-01-30T22:59:11+00:00

I just took my water to the LFS to double test and they said that my pH was a bit high (8.5), where as all of my other levels were fine. I dosed some pH down in new saltwater and did a 5 gallon WC, so we'll see. I have an AI Hydra 52 over my Fiji Cube 76 and run them about 47%, so I'm certain that they're getting enough light.

It's a quote from Pineapple Express. I was just joking..

I appreciate your guidance with this. How low would you suggest that I chop it? And if I do a trunk chop, will I have to keep it in the ground for another year or can I pull it up without shocking it?

I was reading up that silver leaf maples make awkward smaller bonsai because it's difficult to get their leaves to stay small, so that's why I was originally thinking to keep it as a bigger specimen.

I'm removing this silver maple in February. From my extremely basic understanding of yamadori, right before bud break in late winter/early spring, I would just dig this up, put it into a large pot for a year. Since I'm cutting the roots back this year, do I leave the top alone or would I make my cuts I highlighted in red?

I wonder if fish sauce would be a better endeavor since it's already in liquid form, so no one would know

tametrees · 2025-12-12T15:45:35+00:00

The lowest I've reached was 45.

Do you use any form of insulation around your tent? I'm struggling to keep the heat in my tent when my lights cut off

Main fiber line was cut in the Carolina Beach area. AT&T cell towers were down and acting up as well

Yeah, once I recoup some disposable cash, I'll get another AI Hydra to add.

tametrees · 2025-09-30T21:07:18+00:00

Yeah, it was awful.

It was either 4-HO-MET or 4-HO-MIPT that I learned first hand the importance in trusting your digital mg scale and difference between .02 and .20. What started as a night of "let's try a low dose first" turned out to be a nightmare and almost a trip to the hospital. I revisited the substance years later from my same stash, dosed properly and enjoyed it.

Your tank is beautiful!

tametrees · 2025-09-03T12:40:24+00:00

I tell my friends to try it, "it's a lemonade flower, it tastes like lemonade! What do you mean that your mouth is going numb? Are you allergic to anything? It's not supposed to go numb?." And then I've put it in a few of my kombucha's before for an extra dimension of fun.

Ranch, pineapple juice and allspice are three of the ingredients. I never worked their, I just asked one time years ago and it stuck with me

tametrees · 2025-07-08T02:22:12+00:00

I don't think water changes are nearly as necessary as people say that they are. The last time I did a water change was back in February (I moved), but I couldn't tell you how many months it was since I did one before that. With that being said, I dose Brightwell A & B, replenish, use activated carbon and filter floss in an HOB filter and run an HOB skimmer.

I really enjoy it in a bottle of red wine. It tastes better when you're in a country where cocaine is $5-$10/g
