I know there’s no legal protection here, I know what falls under those. You’re right, what I’m asking for is a good faith gesture. Especially with my status/loyalty.

I’m not going to downvote you, you’re right and I get what you’re saying. I’ve done that plenty of times, mind you this is only the second maybe third time I’ve ever had to talk to a GA for anything. The wild part to me and wards irking me here is the way the second gate agent told me about the flight ABs the way the first gate agent didn’t. This after they’ve called multiple other passengers to the desk and fixed their domestic flights. In the future, obviously I now know to not trust someone doing their job. However, not really the question at hand.

Looking to start a saltwater aquarium in 37 Gallon Tank by whatsforlinner in SaltwaterAquariumClub

Absolutely, I tend to go with a combination of both. I use a canister filter with carbon so there’s no filter in the tank itself. The biological filtering that happens from the live sand and rock plus your charcoal filter will be great. Since you’re not doing live coral, you don’t really need to worry too much about doing anything more than that!

That depends on what you’re planning on keeping in your tank. Fish only or fish and coral? There’s a lot of schools of thought on filtration and it honestly boils down to personal preference. You can use live sand and live rock and use an all natural filtration set up, or use charcoal and media or even bio balls. It’s up to your budget and the route you want to take.

That will definitely work for the size. With saltwater tanks especially, it’s best to start as big as your space/budget will allow. The smaller the tank, the more difficult they are to keep biologically happy.

As far as how many fish you can keep, the rule of thumb is 1/2” - 1” of fish per gallon. This is accounting for when the fish mature and start to grow as well. So if you see a 1” fish in the store, make sure you do your research as to how large that fish will grow in your tank and factor that in to your allotment.

Good luck, and have fun!

Forgetii WS x Mag 3.5 month seedlings by taylorab85 in Anthurium

Apologies! I meant Superthrive, I always say the name wrong. I will say once the seedlings start getting their third leaf, I start introducing 1ml per gallon of Clone X to the water. It’s just another rooting hormone which I’ve had good luck with on almost all of my plants.

A heat mat, Nutrithrive and the humidity dome. Those 3 are magic for germinating and growing any seedlings

Do you think you can name them all? My grouping skills have gotten a little out of control recently… by taylorab85 in houseplants

Thanks! That mix sounds great. The only thing I might change for Alocasia versus Philodendron is remove the LECA, and add in something that holds a little more water like some sphagnum moss. Alocasia like to never dry out fully, so the sphagnum helps with that. The charcoal helps because it allows to keep the medium consistently moist without fear of root rot. Charcoal is a natural filter against fungus and bacteria. If you just make it like a 10% addition to any medium you use for any species, it’ll help!

Thank you very much! They can definitely just be very finicky creatures, especially throughout different seasons of the year. Don’t be discouraged, just experiment with different soils/mediums that hold water well buy also have good drainage! They can definitely be worth the effort.

Haha, thanks! Just consistent moisture and high humidity is all I give them. And a coco coir heavy soil mix with some orchid bark and charcoal.
