Hola, gente :) una pregunta, estoy pensando en mover mi dinero, actualmente uso Nu para guardar algo de dinero, pero las tasas siguen bajando, estoy buscando dónde guardar mi dinero ahora, pero entre más investigo, más confundido quedo.
Alguna recomendación de donde pueda mover mi dinero?
I started my tank about two weeks ago. Some plants have died, while others have continued to grow.
I did a water change the day before yesterday. Yesterday everything looked fine, normal, the water was clear, but today the water is yellow, and half of my plants have diatoms. Should I do another water change? I read that it's normal to have diatoms in new tanks, but is it normal for them to appear overnight?
My parameters on Monday were:
pH: 8 (it dropped, it was 8.2-8.4)
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
*I tried to take a picture, but it's not very clear 🫠
I came across this and somehow felt like it belonged here
Hi, I'm a beginner and this is my first tank. I was wondering if it has enough plants for a Walstad or should I get more.
It also has a pothos, but it's not visible.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
My dog died last month, and I put it in one of those biodegradable urns.
I've been thinking in what kind of plant bury it, and I came across to this shrub. Honestly, I've never been a plant person, but I think she would look beautiful in this.
Is this a good idea for a beginner?
If not, what kind of plant would be better to bury it?
Has anyone used volcanic rock before soil to increase the substrate height? I've seen that the rock itself raises the water's pH, but it also promotes root growth (though I'm not sure if this is true for aquatic plants). I'm wondering if it would be helpful to put a layer of volcanic rock before the soil to prevent a drastic pH increase, or if I should just use more soil.
I bought sand for my aquarium because I didn't have enough, but I made a mistake and bought a different kind. Now I don't know if I can use the new one because it's bigger.
Is the new one okay, or should I go back and buy the same kind I had? I don't know if it could hurt the fish, or if the soil would get into the tank.
Hi, I'm new to all things aquariums and bought a 5 gallon all-in-one aquarium to begin with. Unfortunately, I just noticed that since it has a section for the filter and heater, it's actually an aquarium that has 3.5 useful gallons.
Someone recommended the Walstad method, and after doing some research, I found the "Small Aquarium Planted for House Shrimp" article; Walstad uses a 1 gallon bowl, but doesn't mention how many shrimp will fit, so I was wondering,
How many shrimp can I add to my aquarium?
I'm afraid that at some point it will be overpopulated:(
The other day I read about a method to build aquariums that don't need water changes, filters or CO2. The author emphasized creating a system (obviously), but one of the steps was to add a red stone before the substrate, which worked as an antibacterial or something.
I don't remember what the page was called, nor the method, I just remember that it was a very long link 🫠.
Does anyone know what the stone is called? Or any other method to keep the tank clean?
