Poppa, if you ever do dirt, don't forget to replace the sand cap after a rescape. Looks like Dune in there after I turned on the pump. D'oh!

[PoppaRyno]

I've done dirted.... Once. Messy and I've achieved better with sand.

Fair nuff. I'm not done beating my head on this wall. I think it might give before I do. 😏

This is the second time I've seen you mention said clay. Whats the composition?

[PoppaRyno]

Its my own concoction i created with the help of an aquatic ag professor @ K-State U.

Honestly im always afraid to share specifics abt my own creations. It worries me someone will try it and it wont work for them or something goes wrong. I don't wanna be blamed.

~_~ Hokay. So you dump everything in a bowl, mix well, make balls and stick it in the dirt like root tabs?

[PoppaRyno]

Yup

I think just about everyone in the hobby knows there isn't any such thing as cookie cutter. You and I could get the same setup in a box, the same species fish, the same methods and measurements for everything and still come out differently in the end. The air is different, the water is different, the elevation is definitely different. That's just how it is.

[PoppaRyno]

Indeed. It can be done theory. But just theory in my opinion.

Is it 8am yet? Stores need to open so I can go get more sand >_> While I wait, I'm curious about what you feel your biggest success is so far with your fish! Maybe you'll get bored and be able to sleep ^_^

No sleep. If i lay flat i cant breathe that well. With my illness fading comes the "coughing the crud out". The breathing treatments are helping though. Just makes it tricky to actually get to sleep. Once I'm asleep its not restful, and i wake up from coughing fits. Ill crash eventually I'm sure.
