Planted Aquarium - /r/plantedtank's Weekly Random Acts of Kindness!

/r/plantedtank's Weekly Random Acts of Kindness!

Posted: 26 Apr 2019 03:04 PM PDT

The Purpose:

We all perform tank maintenance. Sometimes, perfectly good plants end up in the trash because they simply outgrow their limited environment. Why not share these plants with another hobbyist? This monthly thread offers a space where buyers and traders can congregate, promote biodiversity, and make the world better.

Offering other aquarium-related items for sale or trade is also acceptable, but keep in mind this is a "Random Acts of Kindness" thread. All equipment and plant-life should be offered in either trade or for as cheap as is possible.

If you'd like to offer your homemade ferts, foods, or other equipment for retail sale, please visit the plantedtank.net's forums. Posting retail items for sale is not appropriate in this thread and those comments will be removed with a polite warning.

The Rules:

1. If you would like to post a "WTB" (want to buy) or ISO (in search of), you must also offer items for RAOK or trade in the same comment. "WTB/ISO" posts that do not offer anything in return will be removed to keep this thread in line with its intended purpose.

  1. Sellers: prices are encouraged to be as low as possible. These are plants you were willing to throw out, after all. Making a profit is not what this thread is about, and posts selling items will be removed. For clarification, "selling" is defined as asking for monetary compensation above and beyond the cost of shipping and packaging.

  2. Buyers: you will be responsible in covering the cost of shipping, at least. If a buyer is happy with the sale, please consider offering the seller more for their time spent packing and shipping.

  3. Please use a third-party payment organization like Paypal to conduct transactions if it can't be done in person. This ensures the security of the buyer.

  4. Always be wary of online scams. /r/PlantedTank, the mods, and Reddit hold no responsibility for your private transactions. You are liable. By participating in this thread, you agree to this.

  5. The transaction details should be conducted via PM as reasonably as possible. DO NOT POST ANY PERSONAL INFO. Posting even your own personal info will result in a warning, and then a ban.

  6. Sellers are welcome to use creativity and fun when offering their stuff. Pick a number, favourite colour, most unusual story, etc.

  7. Don't forget about /r/AquaSwap! Feel free to cross post between their sub and ours to maximize your advertising power.

Buyer/Seller Feedback:

Did you have a remarkable experience with a seller or a buyer? Please message the mods and let us know, whether your feedback be good or bad.

Shipping Instructions:

  • Please review this thread for some insight on how to properly ship plants.

Ok....so what's the better of these 2 options?

Hi. I need advice. I have a 16 month old, 20G long planted tank. It used to have 5 amano shrimp, but a year ago, over a 6 week period, they died one by one. Ive kept the tank going with the plants but no animals. 10 days ago, I added 4 neon tetras. They were free from r/Aquaswap. I know neon tetras need more than 4 to be happy. I thought my tank was cycled. Puttin fish in it has thrown the levels of everything out of wack. Ive been doing daily water changes, and using prime. Although the water tests are bad, no one has died. All 4 little dudes seem fine. But they seem freaked out to not have a "pack."

So here's the question. Do i let 4 lonely n. Tetras fight through my bad test readings, or bring their "pack" up to 8, as it should be and then fight the chemical readings/bad water parameters?

If i fix it w 4 tetras, then add more cuz their pack shoulf be larger, will I go through the whole cycle fight again? What to do...which is the lesser of the 2 evils?

Put a sponge on your surface skimmers!

Venting

I went on a business trip for a couple days this past week. My wife had the task of topping off the tank and feeding the fish, which wasn't a new thing. She however didn't notice that the surface skinner had dropped down into the tank.

When I got settled in and was answering emails tonight, I looked to my left and saw......no fish. Well none of my 30 neons at least. They were all dead at the bottom of my canister filter after taking one heck of a ride.

Groan.

Time to restock and get a unused sponge out of storage.
