random boredness

Iv had one so far make it over the lip. Funny as hell to watch em fall in like rain.

I guess. Well you may want to look into a lid of some sort .

Yea. Still trying to figure that one out myself. Oh also got some free bacteria for the filter of the breeder Cant wait to be feeding the puffers...

Cool cool! How are your shrimp doing?

Dead, Remember? Or did I post that? At any rate i had a mini cycle and they died. Got to get new ones. That will have to wait until next week now. Also, Il make a topic in the morning about the marine aquarium.

I thought you still had some stragglers.

No. They all died out sadly enough. But i think for right now it was better until i get the snails set up. Just incase the shrimp get mean the snails keep their tank lol.

I guess that works. You can always put the shrimp in the display until you get your puffers. What kind of stand is your tank on?

My 55 is on a old dresser i ripped the legs off. 10 Is on the bathroom counter. This mornings egg sack count: 20+. So I have 2 questions for you: #1: Do I have to use R/O water for mixing salt? I mean i can make a DIY rig for it easy, I just dont want to if I can avoid it. #2: Happen to know of a hydrometer just for low end BW? I can only find one that even reads low end BW everything else is 1.012+

Instead of getting a hydrometer i would get a refractometer. Much better for temperate reefs and BW.

No you don't have to use RO water for mixing salt. RO water is generally only used in SW aquarium as the live stock is more sensitive to contaminants in tap water.

Oh Okay. Refract i doubt will happen. But think i can throw a few snails and a guppy in the tank for now? Kind of want to see life...

Sure just make sure you are left with enough snails in the breeder. I wouldn't do guppies. Do a molly if you want anything as they can be adapted to BW.

I planned on moving my male guppy in here until i start to go BW to prevent him making anymore baby guppies

Well i guess that will work. .

Well. I also figured out i have Narrow Leaf Chain Sword in the tank. 7 plants of it

Good? As opposed to it being micro sword?

Theyre basically the same thing.

Thought so.

Yea im thinking I have ramshorns but havent really looked into it yet.

Spiral disk like shells. Browns and reds.

Heres the pic

Blurry. But it doesn't look like a ramshorn. More like a common pond snail.

Wow, Way off on my part.
