My first aquascape
Hey all! I wanted to share my first tank with you all. Today is 5 days in so still really new. Plants seem to be acclimating well (especially the tiger lotus)
This is a 7g cube I got off amazon. I chose to do the Walstad Method with this and have miracle gro organic choice capped with sand and gravel as the substrate. I havent done any water changes since setting it up.
The water got pretty cloudy over the first 3 days and has since cleared up quite a bit. You can see in the pics from bottom to top the progression: https://imgur.com/a/W7VBk4J
I tested the water for the first time after 24 hours and then once more yesterday. First test was ~6.8 pH with 0 NH3, 0 NO2, and 0 NO3. Yesterday’s test showed the same pH and Nitrate / Nitrite levels but had about 0.5ppm for ammonia. I will start testing daily today to observe how these levels fluctuate.
The only thing I am unhappy with this tank is my moss placement. I submurged the tank fully before placing the moss anywhere and then panicked and hamfisted the placement by supergluing a clump to my driftwood.
I think when I do a water change I will drain low enough to trim the moss and stick it on properly so it isn’t just a clump there.
Overall I am really excited to be doing this. Let me know if you have any tips / suggestions / insights. All guidance and feedback is appreciated :)
I wish him all the luck in the world to get pregnant for even 1 month!
Pikmin 4 has been great. You’re in for a treat! This is such a great series.
Yeah, I think Hot also has some similar parameters as Active. I have no idea of specifics so just a guess but I think Hot is pulling in threads that have any sort of comment activity on them or new upvotes? Idk
I think its because there was that comment on this post a few hours before yours, so it was pulled into the active feed.
Second this. I used to regularly jump back into my upvotes on Apollo to send links / references.
Thank you for keeping our corner of the internet a little bit cleaner!
It's a bummer that anyone is made feel this way about the phones they use. I've been an iOS user since my first smartphone and could not give less of a fuck if you are as well or if you use Android. Most of my friends are Android users and our message threads, video messaging, etc is all fine. I feel like I see this thread a lot on every platform and the comments section is just a place for people to vent about how much they hate the other operating system (and most of the time they have never even used the other lol).
