    ph and plants.

    It would be helpful to know the pH of your tap water (or whatever your water source is), and what water changes you're doing. 5.5 sounds freaky low to me.

    I can't believe nothing ate it - my fish go insane if I put in an earthworm.

    Painting backgrounds

    I've used a brush, no problem. You still get a nice, smooth finish, even if the surface is less even than you would get with a roller or spray, because you're looking at the 'inside' of the paint - through the glass. Even touchups are invisible. (Might not be satisfactory if you can see the...

    Love it! Those backing vocalists were men!? And is that VPL around 1:00?

    Guess what I caught in DC!?!?!?

    That sounds horrible. (I think nausea without throwing up sounds awful - you want to throw up when you're nauseous). Hope it's not too hard on you. Fortunately, I am very far away, lol.

    Shrimp

    I imagine my shrimp saying, "Hey guys, check this out - shrimp cocktail!" And the others saying, "That is in really poor taste, dude."

    Old Eheim - worth fixing

    Hi all, a (non-fishkeeper) friend gave me this old canister filter. After giving it a bit of a clean, it's running, but apparently too slow to generate enough push or pull to move water (forgive me, I know nothing about these filters, or about motors in general). the label says "Typ 383...

    owners of rummy nose tetras

    I have had trouble with rummies (except for one, who is the last of his tribe, but just keeps on keeping on). I would say if you want a nice schooling effect, a dozen or more would be good. But I also love harlequins, I think they are a really nice looking fish. I have a tank with 7 harlequins...

    What is the stupidest thing you've done today?

    Being Saturday, usually it would be: I got distracted while siphoning water out of a tank and got water all over the floor. But for once, no disasters on water change day!
