Thank you so much ☺️. I have really grown to love medaka and want to make an indoor pond with them as well. How is yours looking?

Playing on Kubuntu (currently on 24.10) for the last 6+ months now. It's been fantastic!

My first nano iwagumi (lemmy.world)
 

UNS 45L low-tech iwagumi, no CO2. Planted with monte carlo and a "moss ball" torn up to decorate the seiryu stone. It was dry-started in January 2025, and has grown in a little bit but not as quickly as I'd like it. Stocked with 7 medaka rice fish, a massive amount of ramshorns, and 5 orange neocaridinas (which are showing cherries now). I have done only 1 water change on it since leaving the dry start, and weirdly has zero algae and is the least demanding tank I have.

The vastly oversized filter you see doesn't have filter media, but instead houses several terrestrial plants including some pothos (marble queen), some ficus variety, and a variegated syngonium. I picked a giant filter (made for 15 gallon setups) in order to create a "sump" to increase the water volume in the overall ecosystem to ensure everything stays stable.

Thank you! It's probably my favorite setup right now.

No removals yet, but I have seen the gouramis go after the baby snails. No shrimp babies yet.

My 5 month old paludarium (lemmy.world)
 

I put an Imagitarium all-in-one inside of an Ikea Rudsta and used silicone to attach cork to make the background.

I no longer remember all the plants I mounted or planted, but I have 5 ruby tetras, 4 sparkling gourami, 1 oto, and some ramshorn snails and cherry shrimp. There is a filter in the front right that pumps water up to a drip feature to keep things watered and filtered so that the only thing I need to do is water top offs and very occasional water changes to keep the tannins under control.

Goodness thank you 🙏 what an ego boost

The light is actually just mounted on the bottom side of a shelf above the aquarium, so that I wouldn't have to figure out a riser long enough for the terrestrial plants. To some extent I agree that many modern lights are very bright and often hung low. I think for an extremely high tech tank or really really demanding plants... they might be necessary but I don't have enough experience on that side of aquarium keeping to know for sure. I'm using the Marina S10 filter (claims it's for up to 10 gallons and this tank is only 6.8) I found on Amazon. I have zero filter media in it, and instead have the scindapsus and philodendron in there to help with mechanical filtration. I'm running the filter at about half "flow" adjustment, which is enough to keep any biofilm forming on the water surface and not enough to cause any stress to the fauna.

Thanks very much! It was my 3rd aquascape and I really wanted to accent some kind of shape while playing off of it with the crypts. Turned out better than I had actually imagined.

NICREW c10 24/7 LED, left the lighting options stock. It's far away enough that it doesn't cause any issues with algae at all.

UNS 60L, with monte carlo carpet, red crypts, hydrocotyle, weeping moss, and salvinia minima. Terrestrial plants are some kind of scindapsus, syngonium, pothos, dragon's tongue, and a heartleaf philodendron, some of which is growing in a HOB with filter media removed. No CO2. I haven't done a water change in maybe 4 months now.

Stocked with crystal red shrimp, some orange neocaridina, pygmy cories, and ramshorn snails.

My aquascape! Had it going for about 8 months now. CRS, Red Cherry, and Pygmy Cory catfish in c/[email protected]

My 8 month old tank is also pygmy cories, CRS, and had some red cherries too, what are the odds?

Thanks! I might put some isopods in them, but I'm trying to identify a type that won't just go wild and eat the live plants. I have dairy cows already and they have obliterated everything in their tank despite plenty of nonlive things to eat.

Triptych style terrarium. Variety if ferns and selaginella. Single piece of unknown wood chopped into three pieces and secured with silicone.

Weekly Warframe Revisited: ??? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Oberon, with or without augments, largely feels outclassed by many frames when it comes to doing a specific type of thing like healing or nuking, but still is a fun well rounded Warframe I still love.

I do think he needs a rework though.
