The potassium is the K a tiny amount goes a long way. I use this dose calculator I think it’s linked to GLA https://rotalabutterfly.com/nutrient-calculator.php @Guppysnail I looked at the calculator but I’m nervous. How much do you use, and are you low light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pain, but it's the easiest thing you can imagine. That's what I had to do with my 75g. 😂 It was hard because My gap is barely enough to get my arm in and I have the arms and legs of a corgi dog. All things aside, I like black backgrounds but frosted clear can be nice and no background works fine. @Chick-In-Of-TheSeaThe background you pulled down was a little distracting from your beautiful plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the measurement is on that little spoon. Hmm… On 7/31/2022 at 10:38 AM, TeeJay said: But my Spidey sense's are tingling and I bet you'll be starting one within 30 days. Mark this date! My husband already told me NO more fish tanks! But my Aqueon forge stand has a spot on the bottom of it for a 5.5 gallon which I want to setup as a quarantine space. (Shh don’t tell.. I don’t think he will notice because it’s lower to the floor and there’s a table in the way. LOL!) The tote has been serving me for quarantine thus far but I have to net fish every time I want to examine their symptoms.

No way. You can set the amount you want to dose to. I accidentally double dosed my 40. I usually do 1/8-1/4 tsp. I accidentally did 1/2 tsp. I dose in water for change. Tank went cloudy fish acted off. I did a 50% wc to fix and fish went back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I either wait until football season to set them up. Sundays nothing is noticeable but the TV 🤣. The new little 5 g on the bottom went unnoticed without football so you may safe. Besides it’s not a tank it’s a QT only for when a fish is ill, then you end up with extra plant clippings you might as well throw in….

nabokovfan87 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 LOL..... ya'll are just being feisty. I definitely don't recommend more tanks!!!!! There's a long story to that and it's something I had to go through and I think it's normal for a lot of hobbyists. MTS is so real especially seeing all the Cory vlogs and all the fun stuff he does. Smaller tanks are so easy to pile up! I think I am always going to limit myself to 3. at most. At best, 2. I would encourage you all to have healthy, open, up front conversations and no be sneaky with fish tanks! LOL. Maybe what you want and need aren't the same thing! I wanted a 55G, but I NEEDED a 75G.

See? I was totally joking and apologize if it sounded otherwise. Nothing sneaky. My hubby supports anything that makes me happy. He bought the last big tank I added as a surprise gift. I’ve gone through phases throughout my life. I increase and then scale back and increase and scale back. I do agree if it ever became a point of contention I would consider it a problem. He always says no more tanks. In reality as long as my tanks stay in my two fish rooms he doesn’t care. As long as I don’t expand beyond those rooms. He HATES WET SOCKS and fears me putting one in the living room 🤣 Though he almost got me the setup for a turtle he fell in love with. the progression from a qt into a not qt is seriously real though. I’ve finally gone to using totes for that reason. Edited August 1, 2022 by Guppysnail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t do that in the tote. It’s not fair to be netting them every time. This is purely for scientific observation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Ok.. I liked the black background at first because I was going away from the “busy” background.

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 I wanted to take the eye away from the cord so I added this beauty. Anubias coffeefolia. It’s in great health. I took the lazy way out and attached it with a plant weight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfish Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 thanks @nabokovfan87 I used this : ELEBOX Aquarium Background Blue Black from Amazon for my 55 gal. It turned out okay but your stuff is a bit cheaper. I'll order some to try for other tanks. There is always other tanks, right? ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
