    I see your replies. Please do not quote me. I keep wet houseplants, sometimes with aquatic friends.

    You can choose to build a scape, an ecosystem, a display tank, or a breeding facility. Lots of choices!

    I run organic soil tanks. I have tried a variety of things over the years. I should probably start a new thread. The most basic formula is one inch of organic topsoil, capped with one inch of 2-4 mm gravel. I have used and removed sand. It is not conducive to plant growth.

    It has been many years since I read the books, but they did make some changes. Author Hugh Howey was involved in much of the production. The first season of Silo covers about 2/3 of the first book (Wool).

    FYI, the Small is shorter and wider than the Nano, and fits in my 3.5 gallon aquariums without the tube.

    @Chick-In-Of-TheSea, that looks like an error from Cloudfront, which must be part of the hosting ecosystem for Invision Community. I see a notice from today, but it appears to be resolved. https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status Service Amazon CloudFront Severity Resolved RSS Elevated Error Rates Jul 18 10:26 AM PDT Between 9:37 AM and 10:13 AM PDT, we experienced elevated error rates for request serviced by the CloudFront Origin Shield and Regional Edge Cache in the US-EAST-1 region. The issue has been resolved and service is operating normally.

    Silo on AppleTV+ is awesome. I have read all the books; you are in for a treat! No spoilers.

    No undo! Sorry.

    I switched back to the newest theme yesterday after another forum update. I think Invision Community fixed whatever was going on.

    We are having an issue with the theme. I have temporarily reverted to the previous C.A.R.E. theme, which does show images.

    This is on me. I made a forum update with one plugin a version behind.

    If messages from the forum are going to spam, that would be on your end, or your email host. Try adding the forum email to your contact list, or see if you can mark the messages as not spam. Sometimes spam detection can be aggressive if you get a lot of messages from the same source.

    If you ever have to move a UPS to power other devices during an outage, don’t turn it off!

    PMs could be used to game the reactions. This is probably why the forum defaults are as they are.

    Mulm is a general description for anything that accumulates on the substrate, or rejoins the substrate. It is often decomposing biological matter. My tanks enjoy it!

    Lake Tahoe’s best clarity in 40 years is the work of this ‘natural cleanup crew’ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/11/lake-tahoe-clarity-visbility-zooplankton Partial quote: The dramatic change can be attributed to an uptick in the concentration of zooplankton, tiny critters that are specialized to consume particles that inhibit the lake’s visibility and an unexpected depletion in the numbers of Mysis shrimp that normally would eat those zooplankton. According to Schladow, the zooplankton, especially the Daphnia and Bosmina species, “largely disappeared from the lake after they were grazed down following the introduction of the Mysis shrimp in the 1960s”.

    I get most of my topsoil from a local compost company. I just use my hands to sort out any larger pieces. I don’t mind some wood bits in my substrate. I prefer a gravel cap.

    The new seasons of Strar Trek: Picard, and The Mandalorian are both excellent. I still need to catch-up on Andor.

    "Meet the fantastically colorful and astonishingly adaptable sea slugs that found a way to photosynthesize (or create energy from sunlight) like plants. Diving deep into these often overlooked creatures, invertebrate zoologist Michael Middlebrooks introduces the solar-powered slugs that lost their shells -- but gained the ability to directly harness the power of the sun."

    You might see tannins from the soil in a new tank, but it will still be from plant matter decomposition. Mopani wood is a nice source of tannins, and a food supply for algae and biofilm grazers.
