    It could be biofilm, which is amazing food for shrimp and other grazers.

    I stuff epiphytes into crevices of wood, and tie moss to around wood to itself, rather than using glue or thread.

    My indoor and homestead journals show the story in detail, and my Vermont journal shows some of my collection efforts. Short answer: I keep multiple spare seasoned buckets and tanks.

    You are all a bunch of show-offs! Please continue! 😁

    I got a plant order for my parents’ tank, but I don’t know when I will make the trip to plant, so all the pots are in a seasoned bucket with a light and a sponge filter. They get to do their plant stuff, and I don’t have to worry about my timeline.

    I think it especially important for shrimp tanks. You can have a cycled tank that is fish-safe, and chemically safe for shrimp, but they really want a persistent level of biofilm and algae, so that your feeding is almost supplemental, depending on the colony size. On the forum, we often use the terms seasoned, and seasoned tank time (STT). They are not specific metrics, but after a few tanks, you recognize when your aquarium is an ecosystem.

    @Torrey, I have a Viper 640 (3-person sportboat), and an RS Aero (dingy). I grew up sailing on Lake Champlain. These days I mostly just race. Have you heard about the Race to Alaska? It sounds really interesting. https://r2ak.com

    @Jungle Fan, thank you for volunteering to start a thread on savory pies, such as calzones and empanadas.

    You may not need to quarantine plants, but it can still be very useful to stage plants. I often order plants without a plan, or a timeline for when I will get a chance to plant them. It is nice to let them stay healthy while you wait.

    Who remembers Dr. Demento?

    After we test @Fish Folk with crimes against pizza. <previous video> Edit: It was the final scene from the Dark Knight, with Gordon saying some words. The clip is offline without an ad-feed.

    I run 1.5 inches of organic soil with a modest cap, which is most recently small gravel like Peace River.

    It happens. I think I lost one to some ambient bubble splashing on a 2.5 after more than a year. I simply ordered another, since you can’t beat the value.

    Mid-Century Modern. You have permission for all the plants.

    My favorite series is Splinter Cell. Stealth action provides very compelling gameplay. You have to be slow and methodical, but take rapid action when under pressure.

    This photo is pretty magical!

    @Jungle Fan, it is really unfair of you to say, "heavily planted", "mini jungle", and "driftwood". Please have some respect for my modest budget. Ok, tell me more!

    @Jungle Fan, I have not kept rams. Are they more mellow with tank mates because they are friends with you?

    I love seeing that folks on the forum value mulm like I do!

    Here is the messy side of my setup: The lights are crooked because the buckets have become brittle after a certain amount of light, so I have moved the mounts a bit. I want to simplify, and retire the buckets, except for one to off-gas chlorine.

    @James Black, she highlighted yy x yy. Perhaps this is what you have?
