Hugo the Betta | The Betta Tank
OceanTruth replied to FrozenFins's topic in Photos, Videos & Journals
The plants where you ordered from came in looking great. Must be a good company. I’m waiting on a plant order as well. Hopefully, in a couple of days. Good luck using the dry ferts. Never tried it myself.- 131 replies

How do I stop driftwood from leaching tanins?
OceanTruth replied to Adrian Rodriguez's topic in General Discussion
Do you remember what type of wood it is? I think it would be amazing to have a piece of driftwood for 30 years.- 9 replies

Great job! Definitely the coolest looking rack system I’ve seen.

It’s progressing nicely! Really does look like a mini pond. I’m sure you’ll have more guppies than you can handle in no time.

Igor is such a diva! “Stop filming boring hydra and film ME!!! You know, the star of the whole darn show?!” And what a face Dinky has. Definitely the definition of water puppy.

Glad to hear you got your plants safe and sound. -
Should I opt for the Eazy Fert Package?
OceanTruth replied to Grink's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
I think you should start with just Easy Green at first. Your plants feed from the water column, so you don’t need root tabs. You’re not complaining about a mass amount of algae, so I don’t think you should be dosing Carbon. Easy Green has some iron in it, so you might not need Easy Iron to get the Indica red again. Just my thoughts though.- 5 replies

Welcome to the forum! It’s so easy to dive deep in this hobby. Glad you found enjoyment in it.
-
Yes, I would definitely keep a tank like that. Hope you find a tank that suits you for that nice space you can make available!
-
I’ve never had an aquarium I couldn’t handle, but then again I’ve never had a monster tank before. Largest tank I’ve ever had was only 90 gallons. I, myself, would avoid a tank over 2ft high. I think that would be a pain to wipe down or plant in. Plus most fish are fine with that height. I don’t ever plan to get a massive fish.

Clear sac with white dots sounds like bladder snail eggs to me. They lay them underwater on glass, rocks, plants, wherever.
-
That is wild! I would have assumed you would have found a clutch of eggs. Mystery snails are sneakier than I thought.

Building a Fishroom with Fishdude

That’s really exciting! Good luck with the plan and build! -
A potentially dumb question about drilling and plumbing tanks
OceanTruth replied to Fishdude's topic in General Discussion
Usually they drain into a larger pipe that leads to the home’s septic system or they rig a drain that leads outside. When you add water to the tank, it overflows through the drilled bulkheads. So running clean water into the tank for a period of time effectively gives you a water change of a certain percentage. Hope that made some sense. I’m not the best at explaining things clearly and concisely. Hopefully someone else can explain it better. -
You moved a mystery snail? If it was, then I think the babies are a different species. Perhaps the eggs hitchhiked in with something else added to the tank?

Your Favorite Floating Plant
OceanTruth replied to FrozenFins's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
I voted for red root floaters. Those tiny white flowers they get are so cute. I’ve been growing azolla lately and they are kind of growing on me as well. -
Welcome to the forum! I hope you get that 50 gallon one day and show it off here.
