Semi-hydro is so popular now, but everyone says to replace the water every few days because it runs out of oxygen. Coming from the aquarium/pond world I thought, "what if I put an extra bubble thing+pump into the pot?"

Apparently that's DWC. But so many of the ready-to-use DWC setups are...kind of ugly. I think people use them more for vegetables or weed. The caladium are from bulbs (etsy and Home Depot), the tradescantia are cuttings I took from a coworker's plant, and the "Ti" plants are still just logs I'm propagating that are showing their first little nubs now. Using aquarium liquid fertiizers.

I just want to avoid having a bunch of dirt in my apartment. Sweeping it, vacuuming, dirt stains...

This was while I was rearranging a few things in my indoor pond.

I know I know my underwater indoor pond camera blinked out right as we were going to see more. Does it look like it was moulting? Do you think it survived? A few seconds later I saw a loose bit of shell in the water…

Spotted in Edinburgh

I'm still figuring out how I'm going to set up a planted aquarium, after last having goldfish as a kid about 30 years ago. So forgive my naivete!

On that other big social media site, there's the AquaSwap community where I see a bunch of folks local to me in NYC are trading/selling/buying all manner of aquarium stuff (fish, plants, hardscape, more).

So for my friends on Lemmy: do you participate in trade with your local community? Where are they? Are they only on that other website…? Meetups? Mailing lists?

It's FICSMAStime

I can't be the only one who is reminded of this song with this event.

Merry FICSMAS!
