Just to show how it looked earlier on, about 1 month after setup
The original post is the day after setup, once the dust had settled, July 13th 2024.
The next photo, first one on this comment, is mid November 2024.
The final, colorful one is taken today :)
If you can afford them, lightscreens really do make a difference, damn

I’ve had this tank for about 9 months now. While it’s been very beautiful, my background has been rough. First it was a simple foggy-glass film. Then I removed that to try to add a white one, which only looked worse. But finally, I was able to afford a dream item - a lightscreen. And damn, the difference is insane lol. It may show off the algae more, but it really makes the colors pop.

It’s kinda crazy for me to think about. Story time! Otherwise just ask me anything :) Around 11 years ago, I sat in the lounge that the Video Game Club occupies once a month on college campus. I looked over and saw a group of gamers go into one of the meeting rooms attached to the lounge - but instead of laptops or gaming consoles, they had books and dice and paper. I scoffed and thought they were too nerdy and cringey - I then went back to munching Doritos, chugging MtDew, and playing Borderlands/Skyrim/Pokemon for the next 12 hours lol. Thankfully I was saved from my misguided views. A member of the VGC invited me to try out DnD, his group had an open spot. I was hesitant, but I craved more creativity in games that just couldn’t be supplied. So I decided to try it out. Ended up not having a great time. One player was entirely checked out for 80% of the time and was a scumbag during the 20% he was engaged. The DM either was very new, or just had some very questionable calls. There were of course some fun moments but not a great impression. I knew the game had potential. And I knew I could run it better. So 10yrs ago today, my Players Handbook arrived, which is when I really began my journey to learning the rules, how to make characters, and how to run the game. I’ve since had a few successfully completed long term games, including one that was over 5 years. I’ve ran a game at a convention, I’ve done some paid birthday parties, in person and online long campaigns, even some very successful afterschool programs while I was a teacher for a few years. At my peak, I was running 4 games weekly. Since then I’ve slowed down a bit more and focus on two good weekly games. Willing to share tips or stories for any who ask :) otherwise I just wanted to share this milestone.
The biggest snail in my aquarium: Jasnah.
The biggest snail in my aquarium: Jasnah. - Lemmy.World
I’ve got an aquarium at home, and though I have countless tiny bladder snails, Jasnah is clearly a different beast. She is my fiancés favorite creature in the tank because she’s got a lot of personality. Her hobbies include posing for the camera, eating, climbing on top of plants, eating, parasnailing from the top of the tank, and of course eating. And yes she is named after the character Jasnah Kholin from the Stormlight Archive book series. If I’m being honest though, she acts more like Lift lol

My aquascape! Had it going for about 8 months now. CRS, Red Cherry, and Pygmy Cory catfish - Lemmy.World
I’ve had it going for about 8 months now. Originally it was going to be only CRS, but unfortunately my KH was repeatedly on the rise. After testing my rocks, my water, etc I came to the conclusion that it’s due to the pea gravel I used in filter bags to prop up the rocks. So though the CRS population has dwindled, there is still life. I got some RCS instead, which seem to be doing well, as well as 3 Amanos and 12 Pygmy Cory catfish. Just wanted to share my aquascape :) I am happy to answer questions - I did a good amount of research but keep in mind this is my first tank. Edit: please ignore the ugly fresh trim on the Rotala, and the horrible background!
