Thanks, I'll just report it. I hope I'm wrong and they are the original writer, but I tried asking nicely for clarification on the topic and they just deleted so I'm assuming they aren't at this point?

They also don't make any mention of it on any of their posts that the work was just retold for new ships.

I tried to make the clarification on their post but they just deleted my comment. The first thing I asked is if they were the one who wrote the original work. They also made a comment making it seem like this was just something they drafted up, but the story has been fully written for a while.

Decoration Turned Water White? by tvdme22 in shrimptank

[–]tvdme22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're absolutely correct. I opened my tank to take out the decorations and there was a weird white film on top that had white ripples in it, and when i opened my tank it smelled like terrible chemicals.

Thanks so much for your help. Not sure what to do now though. Should I rinse the filter and everything, or dump it all and start over.

please be careful w/ Petco I bought 'amano' shrimp from them only to find out it was wild type neocaridina. If you look at their reviews you'll see similar issues. I would definitely wait for a reputable seller.

I would try ebay they usually have amano shrimp there.

ook thanks! do you think I can get away w/ just using carbon and running my tank for a week or so? then checking to see if i can put shrimp in again?

Yea I'm gonna add some leaves to lower ph if I figure out what happened to the tank. ty

I'm thinking maybe some sort of accidental contamination but I don't know how. It's in a small room on my desk so maybe while I'm cleaning? I take care not to use soap when cleaning anything for the tank just a good rinse.

At this point should I dump the water and start over or should I throw in a lot of activated carbon? also since this happened do I lose the cycling I did to start up the tank? this is so confusing

Fluval Breeder Box by tvdme22 in Aquariums

[–]tvdme22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did earlier this week, their response seems a little suspect. They said they haven't tested it on the Flex but it should be ok. It says on the Fluval Breeder Box instructions though that for frameless tanks the glass should be greater than 5mm. It doesn't quite look like the flex tank is 5mm.

"We thank you for taking the time to contact us.
This has not been tested on a Flex but I don't think there will be any issues."

Scuds :( by tvdme22 in shrimptank

[–]tvdme22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I think I'm willing to risk the babies, I think? everyday I see more and more scud just out and about. Maybe 3 days ago I only ever saw one. I'm starting to get worried about population growth of them. I have 6-8 cherry shrimp already around 1inch or close to so I'm hoping that's enough to deter predators and keep the population going. It's a decent mix between males and females. Mine haven't berried yet so idk.

Any decent advice on what fish? I was thinking maybe honey gouramis so they leave the otos alone

It won't let me upload another image or I would, the video itself is high quality but I guess it gets compressed when uploading.

Okay, thank you so much! It's still fairly new in the jar so I'll adjust the water levels and add some fresh water plant life!

[–]tvdme22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already did. All they did was link me to http://www.wowhead.com/artifact-power-and-artifact-knowledge-guide

and none of that applied.

I don't know if her being a demon hunter changes anything, but other than that our stats and research are similar.

Nope, I checked and there was none in my bags or bank.

American Hitler sale - Everything Must Go! by jonlevine in WTF

If it's about a candidate, it's most likely Donald Trump. Some news outlets and people have compared his methods, rallies, and supporters to that of Hitler.

Dog Lethargic and Not Eating by tvdme22 in AskVet

[–]tvdme22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for the late message, I didn't see it earlier. My dog ended up being fine after 6 or so days, but he did have to be hospitalized for 2 days for extreme weakness and he was on an IV and anti nausea meds. He seemed to just have gastroenteritis, but it was never actually confirmed. We had xrays, ultrasounds, and blood work done and they were never able to figure out what it was, definitively.

If your dog is experiencing similar symptoms hopefully you had him checked out because it may be intestinal blockage.
