my town, a rant!
Comments (19)Which one? lol I have three big boy tanks and a large community. 40 gallon stock tank..This has my 4 malawi cichlids, a pair of bichirs, and a pair of violet gobies. Substrate is washed desert sand. Lots of caves (stacked flat granite). A nice clump of yellow iris and river rush. This is the one I'm running the whisper on. I had my oscar and two marbled gobies in there until I moved so it had a diy cannister filter in there in addition to the hob for some time. 50 gallon hex...I don't like this tank so much because it's not roomy on the floor space like the others. I have my two marbled gobies and the oscar in there. The filter is two under sink filter cannisters chained with matala type matting. It is run by a 10$ harbor freight pump. The whole thing is ugly as heck but works good. This tank is going to go brackish as soon as the fish get big enough to go with the clowns (this may be a long time). It has some parrot feather in it but it's not doing so well without my lights being up. 150 gallon..metal tank with liner. 2 clown knives, one jack dempsey, and whatever feeders they haven't eaten. Filter is a five gallon bucket full of quilt batting fed by a pool pump (I think around 400 gph). This tank has no substrate because I'm going to have to move it again. It has a large clump of softstem rush. 75 community is the same filter system as the clown knives. I have to be sitting at the tank to remember everything fishy in there though lol. Plants: draceana, taro, and a small waterlily. Plants on the filter: Pothos, more draceanas, and had a nice pitcher plant but mites got it. Substrate is rough tumbled stone (mostly jasper type rocks) with silica sand. Adrea...See More48 Reasons Not To Mow 37 Ways To Help Trees
Comments (2)Um... okay....See MoreMy last batch of seeds for this season, I swear!
Comments (141)I have a question for a pachy pro... I've been keeping a P.saundersii that is growing beautifully, and have germinated multiple P.lamerei... however, in trying to germinate P.geayi and P.rosulatum, I'm having the worst time! I've tried miracle grow cactus mix 50/50 with perlite, and a vermiculite/perlite 50/50 mix. Both with zero germination. They're surface sown, under fluorescents, at 70F. They keep developing fungus, but seriously NONE of my others have, and I am raising multiple succulents, adeniums, and deinostigma in the same setup. Any advice? I want to find out what I'm doing wrong. I hate killing seeds. Thanks, Jennie...See MoreMike, I've started my own MG Garden soil/reptibark experiment
Comments (50)Laura, oh, yay! Congrats on your trip next year! Now, you'll have to send us some pics! Also, be sure to "forget" that you have Italian lemon seeds in your pocket when you fly back home.. surely, you would have left them there by accident after enjoying some lemons over there. Your one-day tree will be a forever souvenir! Ugh, I hope you get rid of those pesky flies. I just googled it.. wow, they can leave some significant damage! Thank you Mike, we do love the turtles here. They are just so beautiful and I never tire of seeing them. Twice, we have seen turtles with only three flippers and the experts say that they are shark attack survivors. Poor little guys. Another time, we were at the beach and there was a giant, floating seaweed mound. Several turtles came and were having a feast; we watched them for over an hour. Wow Mike, that is a nice whitefly pic. Hope you and your parents are feeling better....See Moremolamola
