random boredness

A few threads back. There was one specifically on ghost shrimp i though.

I dont remember one for ghost shrimp

Nevermind, I found it, Im re-reading it now.

Or not, The website wont work.

Whatever. There are plenty articles out there on breeding shrimp. But i would get 8 or so. How about some new pics?

How did I know you was going to ask that. actually just took the net to the sand so its stirred up. added accu-clear though so hopefully it wont take to long to get rid of the cloudiness again.

Sounds like its going good. Why dont you start a new thread on this in the BW forum.

Will do. Thanks for the help man, It was starting to look bad

Still a little cloudy

Looking better though! Do you think your gettin enough circulation in there? Whens livestock due? I should probably check my post on TPF. lol.

Lol yea theres circulation. Getting my bio wheel today if my mom ever gets here. The waters clear, Its just I got to wipe the film off the sides....But yea livestock im still trying to work out. Its becoming a MAJOR issue so I may have to give my mom a little...Nudge...In the right direction. Anyway also trying to figure out about what size powerhead i would need to give some back wall heat circulation without stirring up the aragonite again

Sounds good. Nerite snails are also a good source of algae control in BW aquariums. They are commonly sold as SW snails. You can also order them online.

Its not the algae though. Its like the cloudiness stuck to the walls. I mean you can visibly see where i wiped it off.

Oh yeah that stuff. Well just scrub it off.

So...After an hour and a half walk to the hospital...And a hour and a half back...And some AGRESSIVE negotiating...I have $300...Cash. But no filter or anything. And i probably wont have internet much longer. So yea im in a weird situation now.

Money but no access to purchasing aquarium livestock and decor. Interesting. Do you have the tetra safestart yet?

Read my post on the puffer forum. Im going to try to get pics up soon. Pretty drunk right now though.

lol. Sounds good. Finally got your stuff ordered. Can't wait for pics.

Welp...I Got to do water changes sadly. Everytime i add Aragonite i get this soapy stuff in the water. So mass water changes coming. And after that i have to wait for the water to clear to get the decor in. But all in all its coming together. So hopefully il have pics later today or tomorrow

PS: Got 700 GPH of filtration
PSS: Pics are in post on puffer.

Great job on the filtration! Finally got some rocks. Yeah and i would go on PP's advice with the filter floss. Stuff works great.

Little lost on where to get it and what it looks like really.

It's just the same stuff as pillow stuffing. Its made of polyester.
Similar to this stuff. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4136+4231&pcatid=4231

Most brands say filter floss on the bag.

Ok yea i got something i could put that in. Itll be thursday at the earliest though.

You haven't got the livestock "yet" but your ordered it right? It should be there soon then. They should be fine though until thursday.

Didnt exactly 'order' it. Just talked to the woman about them she said 'ANYTHING' I wanted she could get, Just because of how much work I put into research about the fish. Said she would call me. So I guess you could say I ordered them yes. However my mom was a seamstress for like 15 years on the side been sewing all her life, So i probably got a bag or 2 of pillow stuffing just laying around. Quick question though: Is there anyway I can make a kind of bioball thing for it? I know I read something somewhere about it but I cant remember it.

Got it set up and added some to my 300 GPH topfin filter also. Clearing up what came out pretty quick (cloudiness) lets hope it keeps it up.

Good. Just make sure its not cotton. I don't know about the bioball thing. You would have to look on the internet for that. Well i guess you're just waiting for a call then.

Yea...I umm...Am not too sure its not cotton im going to look into it though. Also still got to get another rock. But besides that im just waiting on her to call me and tell me the plants and fish are in. So glad im almost done.

Ok. I checked it is polyester.

Good. Yeah more rocks would be nice. Can't wait to see the aquascaping on this. How long ago did you talk to her?
