  1. 😲😲😲 I never thought of it that way... Explains why I failed math alot lmao but definitely makes sense.
  2. Yea oddly enough I ran out like 5 post after you mentioned that lol I'm curious as to the reason for that. I guess to limit spam? @Anita no problem it was just a fun little question that was asked of me and couldn't help but wonder others answers
  3. Ok I finally hit to many reactions but seriously all these are awesome
  4. Yea my wife ain't in the forum but we recently started our 40g planted tanks on the same day and we both a little competitive about the look of our tanks. I'm a neat freak while she lets nature do it's thing
  5. That's crazy like I get what I'm looking at but still sorta flabbergasted
  6. Where can I find the podcast I keep meaning to listen to it??
  7. Considering that the tank aty therapist office is what triggered my fish keeping I feel this on such a deep level keeping fish has done wonders for my PTSD
  8. I say that every day to my kids yet I still struggle with this as an adult lol
  9. Hahahahahaha your welcome. I'm hoping mine come in Friday they are 2 weeks late
  10. I would love to hear @Cory words of advice to himself in his early years of fishkeeping I'm sure that would be some earth shattering knowledge bomb lol
  11. Can we get this made into a brochure for fish keeping please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
  12. Absolutely I try to join all there live streams as well cuz it's nice to fe able to interact and ask questions directly. That's what lead me here was I kept seeing cory talk about things he was talking about in here and I was sorta taken back like wait a content creator who actually talks with his followers.... I'm in! Heck I even joined the members page on youtube just to soak up every bit of knowledge I could
  13. I will be completely honest. I used to be sorta stuck up joey "king of diy" butt for youtube videos and I think that's what made me make alot of mistakes cuz at that time he was keeping very high level experience fish with sumps and all kinds of high end equipment and I wanted all of that so bad cuz it's all I saw and it made me not learn the basics to keeping fish. Finally sorta opened my mind to other youtubers and realized I missed like the first 50 chapters if fish keeping. Thankfully people like co-op, kg, prime-time, and a few others really made basic fish keeping fun and easy to learn I'm still newer to the forum but I can say hands down have learned a lot already.
  14. I think that's the "addictive" part if fish keeping is oooo pretty new fish! I need it now lol. And they say drugs are dangerous 🙊🙊🙊
  15. That's awesome. And I promise you it only gets better from here. I won't say I have done it all cuz Lord knows I haven't but I can say I have dipped my toes in almost every type of water and let me tell you this hobby is one of the best things to ever happen in my life besides my kids lmfao but then again they are into the hobby themselves and all three are under 10
  16. God if I had a dollar for every time I had to go through that. Especially because I traded fish like crazy for like 2 years constantly had new fish in the tank that needed all sorts of different perimeters or hides or all kinds of stuff lol.
  17. My fur children booker the lab mix and daisy the basset hound bluenose mix these two have some amazing personalities
  18. Me and my wife were talking about past fish tanks and how many goods we have had along the way and she asked me probably one of the best questions ever.. "If you could tell your younger self one thing fish related what would it be?" My answer take it slow. New fish and tanks are exciting but giving your full attention to a special tank or fish is 100x more rewarding. So I ask you the same question what's one piece of advice you would tell your younger self?
  19. I remember in one video cory mentioned buying them then returning them once they get big like a rental program lmfao
  20. Appreciate it never had a legit planted tank before so always nervous I messed something up lol
  21. The only thing about stratum is it's just a good planted soil made with volcanic ash with a ph buffer. And I have multiple plants that are doing great actually even after only 2 to 3 weeks. My brazilian pennywort and java fern and one other plant I absolutely can not remember the name of lol. Only plant struggling is the crypt Wednii but I'm attributing that to melting as it's the newest plant.
  22. Substrate is 3 parts Fluval stratum 1 part black diamond blasting sand (sand on very bottom.) Ferts are easy green and co-op root tabs.
  23. Yes. Set it up about a month ago added plants over the last 2 weeks. Been using easy green and root tabs. Most plants are doing great but the hair algae is growing like crazy on my Christmas moss.
