I actually caved as well and went with a canister filter. I picked up a secondhand Oase Filtosmart Thermo 100 which has an integrated heater which really cleared up a bunch of visual clutter on mine. No more wires and just clear tubing now! I also added an airstone which I really think has helped the tank a ton. After adding it in the fish and shrimp just took off and haven’t looked back since. It’s been super fun but is a slippery slope LOL I am heavily considering setting up a 15-20g tank so I can transfer everything over and build out a new scape. My only obstacle is space…

Hey sorry for the lag in response! Its been going really well :) i wish the tannins stuck around but after a few weekly water changes they have completely disappeared. The plants all have grown really consistently and I am not dosing ferts or anything. After I think six weeks I added shrimp and sparrow rasboras. Both have had babies so the tank is teeming with life. I love it!

I hope yours is still going well!

Thank you!

I wish him all the luck in the world to get pregnant for even 1 month!

Pikmin 4 has been great. You’re in for a treat! This is such a great series.

Yeah, I think Hot also has some similar parameters as Active. I have no idea of specifics so just a guess but I think Hot is pulling in threads that have any sort of comment activity on them or new upvotes? Idk

I think its because there was that comment on this post a few hours before yours, so it was pulled into the active feed.

Second this. I used to regularly jump back into my upvotes on Apollo to send links / references.

Thank you for keeping our corner of the internet a little bit cleaner!

It’s a bummer that anyone is made feel this way about the phones they use. I’ve been an iOS user since my first smartphone and could not give less of a fuck if you are as well or if you use Android. Most of my friends are Android users and our message threads, video messaging, etc is all fine. I feel like I see this thread a lot on every platform and the comments section is just a place for people to vent about how much they hate the other operating system (and most of the time they have never even used the other lol).
