Water parameters continue to be excellent and stable (thanks you House of Tropics in Glen Burnie, MD for the fabulous active filter) - except for the GH. It's weird. While the tank is holding steady at 10 the tap WAS 12, but is now 7. Why in the world would it change so much in the TAP?
I'm glad it's stable in the tank so far.
Looking to get on a twice a week PWC schedule - Sundays and Wednesdays. Also feed frozen food (pre-thawed in a Dixie cup of a little tank water) on those days BEFORE changing the water. I'd like to do liquid amendments AFTER the water changes.
As recommended somewhere, the single Oto I got yesterday gets a tiny glass bowl with a few broken pieces of algae wafer, and veggie sticks that contain calcium (Ken's), placed carefully in a quiet and private area of the tank to make sure he has enough to eat as I don't have any visible algae and my algae jars have just begun. (See later post for a pictorial on how I did this.) I named him Frank.
Pro Tip:
To keep Frank's food in his dish while putting it down inside a full tank of water, I am careful to hold fingers over the food. I made a mess the first time I fed him without holding down the food.
Keeping my sleeves wet...
