    i dont for the stuff i convert. my idea is that the moss survives the submerging process, and everything else doesnt. Ive had no issues doing it this way.
  2. Theplatymaster
    just be aware, this will pull out meds and ferts, so the plants might not do as well in this period.
  3. Theplatymaster
    its not super cycled, but i can squeeze out some dirty sponge into it to seed it better.
  4. Theplatymaster
    i hate mystery fish deaths... maybe run some carbon in case of unknown contaminants?
  5. Theplatymaster
    so i shouldnt feed? or just feed very small amounts?
  6. Theplatymaster
    is there now a good way to get rid of the snails? they are pretty much the entertainment of the tank now that all the shrimp are dead.
  7. Theplatymaster
    ive seen the shrimp eating, and they are faster then the snails. after cycling, there were no water quality issues due to all the plants.

    we started with 6, and only decreased in population. yep! some wood, tons of random plants (hornwort,anarchis,PSO,anubias java fern), and not that much moss though...
  9. Theplatymaster
    ive heard these are very difficult to breed, and need brackish water for breeding.
  10. Theplatymaster
    its possible i got the number wrong...
  11. Theplatymaster
    how does this work? is it like a bubble bar but for C02?
  12. Theplatymaster
    i apologize then. you are not really the target audience of this question, having many tanks of many different species.
  13. Theplatymaster
    I knew someone would throw live foods into their's 😄
  14. Theplatymaster
    ah, it must have been a older setup thanks for clarifying.

    im not saying you are wrong, im just saying i disagree. and am i a little stubborn, yes. Do you probably know more then me in this field, yes. Can we all make daily snellos and constantly feed veggies, no. In my opinion, im doing the BEST with what i have, and its not perfect, but due to my budget, its pretty good.

    I lost a platy 😞... i dont really feel emotional about losing platies anymore, because i have so many. I think she died giving birth, ive had another similar death before in platies. This platy will go out in the fish water, hopefully bring more life into this world though its death. Unrelated my moss testing is going VERY well, im suprised based on the time it is taking ( a few days at the fastest) and the process that it is.
  17. Theplatymaster
    well... ill do me, you can do you.
  18. Theplatymaster
    i used to fine eggs all the time, now i barely find them, what happened in between? the nerite go a lot more shy. probably due to a platy population boom.
  19. Theplatymaster
    the background is wrong, or it is murphy?

    the effectiveness of liquid bacteria prodcuts is a disscussion for another thread. I am just of the opinion that getting the bacteria active, from a cycled tank, is better then getting it dormant from a bottle. Also low PH is probably caused by all the water changes, if your source water is acidic, also aerated water slowly becomes more alkaline, so lots of water changes can change that.

    my snails get zucchini weekly at this point.
  22. Theplatymaster
    completely possible. some meds can kill bacteria, i suggest getting some more going.
  23. Theplatymaster
    @jasper5150 what are your water parameters that your shrimp are doing so well? im having trouble with shrimp myself right now.
  24. Theplatymaster
    i used to have a feeding schedule, it has fallen apart due to me running out of foods. I will buy new ones, and then start ONLY using the 3 foods on my list, so i can uphold a feeding rotation, and foods wont go bad. with this exception of the occasional live BBS.
  25. Theplatymaster
    oh, yeah, that could do it. @Jeffrey Co if you have one, i suggest going to your LFS and asking if they sell established media or gravel to get bacteria. You could also use a liquid product like Fritz Zyme 7. A plant in rockwool could also get bacteria, rockwool is a great bacteria area. you can add this bacteria to your tank in many ways.
