Need a favor from anyone from Bangalore who's placing an order on Sreepadma

I need these plants for my tank but since sreepadma charges 300 for shipping it doesnt make sense to pay 50% of the cart price for shipping. Tried lfs but they only get pots and tc.
So if anyone's ordering from them and your order is above 2000 you can add my order and get free shipping. Or we could split shipping charges if the total order is under 3000

Edit: Ordered from Sreepadma. The hassle of finding others to club orders with or purchasing from multiple websites (since no one website has all these plants in stock) isnt worth it.

New Co2 regulator venting through relief valve, salvageable or no?

Here are the details,

High Pressure Gauge: Works fine. When the main tank valve is opened with the regulator adjustment knob completely backed off (loose), the cylinder gauge reads \~1000 PSI and there are zero leaks.

​Working Pressure Gauge: Mechanically dead. It stays stuck at 0 PSI no matter what, only twitching slightly during a rapid final system bleed.

​Relief Valve Venting / Output Issue: With downstream equipment removed(just the regulator connected to the cylinder and nothing extra) turning the regulator knob clockwise allows a slight gas hiss out of the outlet at first. Turning it further causes roughly 75% of the gas to vent from the outlet port and 25% to blow violently out of the safety pressure relief valve. This almost reverses if I add a solenoid and control valve to the regulator. Majority gas goes through the relief valve and bit from the outlet.

​Also I've used a brass adapter in the female outlet port of the cylinder and seems like its permanently seized in place. Tried getting it out to see if thats whats causing the issue but you can't move it. Took it to an industrial workshop but they couldnt get it out using spanners either.

If anyone knows what's happening, it would be of great help.

Suggestions for good Co2 diffusers for pressurised setup

I was going to get this since it produces very fine bubbles but if anyone has used something better please share it

Co2 diffuser vs internal pump for co2 circulation

Getting a pressurised co2 setup for my 5 footer about 420litres (about a 100 litres down now because of the substrate and hardscape), its got a hob for filtration which somewhat gets the job done.

Do you think I'd have more co2 dissolution rate if I plugged in the co2 line into the internal filter where the air line would usually go than using a dedicated co2 diffuser.

Hob sits on the back glass and the circulation on the other side of the tank is questionable so a pump would solve two issues at the same time. What do you think?

Hobbiests in Bangalore who have ramshorn snails in their tank

I'm looking for ramshorns in Bangalore if anyone has it. Dont want to get it shipped from elsewhere since the shipping costs will be more than the cost of snails

How hard is it to get guides for treks if you're going by yourself?

Have booked netravathi trek next week and one of my friends said the entire process of going there by jeeps and finding a guide for the trek will be a hassle if you dont book it through a homestay.

And for any of you guys who've done treks without organisers what are things we should keep in mind before heading?

How do you feed your shrimps and snails in a community tank?

I've got cardinal tetras, ember tetras and harlequin rasboras in my tank and its very hard to feed shrimps and snails. My cardinals are notoriously good at sniffing out shrimp food when I place then in dark areas or among plants and hardscape so that doesnt week either.

Ive grown quite a bit of algae on the hardscape and a little bit on the glass increasing the photoperiod but I also want them to have supplemented foods.

Tank is a 5footer ~420 litres

Is there any way I can decrypt my bitlocker enabled drives (2 of them) without the recovery key

I locked the two drives when I was a kid on my windows 8.1pro pc and my dumbass stored the recovery key in the drives for which I'd enabled bitlocker. Is there any way I can bypass it? I dont want to erase the drive since I've got a lot of my childhood photos on it

Is it possible to rebook a ticket on Aranyavihara for the same slot after cancelling a ticket you have already booked for a different person?

Booked a ticket for one of the treks but one of my friends is unable to make it due to an injury. Can I cancel his ticket and book another ticket in the same slot for a different person?

What's wrong with my ramshorns?

Got them a week back and they went to sleep for like a day or two. No movement nothing. After that I could see their heads out of their shell and they go back in after sometime and that's all they do. All this while on their sides, they dont stand up. Tried helping them to stand but they fall back to their sides after a while.

They were in transit for 3-4days could it be transportation stress? They looked pretty active when they arrived.

Seller kept them in tap water, I use tap+ro mix

Tank TDS ~370 at the moment

Gh ~11-12

NH3 0

NO2 0

NO3~0

Temperature ~26°C

What's wrong with my cardinal tetra?

Got 20 of these 2 days back and they are very active.

​

Just noticed this morning when the lights turned on this specific individual has discolouration pigment near his dorsal fin (copper/gold color is due to the lighting) which runs symmetrical on his other side too (it ends right above where the blue line meets the red.) I'm pretty sure he didnt have this yesterday bevause it is very much visible to the naked eye. Others in his shoal seem to be fine.

He's having no trouble breathing or swimming and seems fine otherwise.

Its been over 3 weeks since the tank was cycled. I also have a dozen Neocaradina shrimps in the tank and one male guppy.

Ph: ~7.5

GH: ~11.2 DGh

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Best food for nano fish from your experience within a budget?

I have a newly cycled tank with over a dozen Neocaradina shrimps. Will soon be getting harlequin rasboras, cardinal tetras and ember tetras.

I'm hearing a lot about Hikari, Intan and life ayu, what food would you suggest for shrimps and fishes?

Bloody mary or painted fire reds?

Shop said bloody mary but I'm skeptical. Been a day since I got them, upper half is lighter and translucent while the lower back is darker. There's two juveniles in the tank about 1.25cm and theyve got good colors too.

Location India
