I'm actually only in the freshwater hobby th make submerged cheese cultures.

it's better in brackish.
when you get the curd, heat up some brackish water and pull the curd together in the water. pro tip, wear gloves so you don't burn your hands as much. roll it up in plastic wrap or cheese cloth and cool it off. et voila

Cthul Ukulele Le. I'm guessing Shool Ukulele Lay? Or Stool Ukulele Lay.

Are you really unfamiliar with this being?

Is there a place like r2r for planted tanks? I'm still going to post here, but I was curious

Not sure if there is but I have seen a few threads where it’s planted tanks.

 

[tbrown3589]

I think https://plantedtank.net is similar. I've been there a few times off and on. Not a member though.

 

[Mschmidt]

I'm curious too.

 

[crusso1993]

As @tbrown3589 mentioned, plantedtank.net is pretty similar. It’s really the most extensive FW planted online forum. Quite a number of good people but it is also moderated. I have a few FW planted friends that were there since inception and were either banned or left. However, don’t let this jade you.

Another recently formed forum is www.scapecrunch.com

I believe I’ve posted this elsewhere on R2R but here is one of my friend’s tanks.

Seems like my tuxedo urchin inadvertently took some bites out of my split pore gorgonian lol. We'll see how it recovers

My massive toadstool coral just had 3 babies today. It seems happier with the looser water change schedule lol

Its whatever you want it to be!

JK they are so infuriatingly bad. Every test I do the color seems to change depending on the light and angle but none of those colors really match the guide.

The Phosphate is even worse!

But for some reason I still use them.

I'm having the unforeseen by me but probably expected by planted tank folks problem of all the plants drinking the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate I add leading to low readings of everything lol

May not be getting to nitrate if they are hungry enough.

Some close ups of the non Mosses and grassrs. The renecki has put on quite a few new leaves. They have this coppery red color with pinkish undersides. The kedagang's new leaves are all a light green. The bacopa new leaves are exactly the same. The Limnophila aquatica was basically dead at the store and 2 dollars and you can see the lush new growth at top and sprouting. The big guy in the middles new leaves are like a brassy deep green, and you can see the new unfurling anubias nana leaf.
