James’s 29g Nano Build

[James_O]

do you guys think this would work for his tank ?

How much is that?

——

I hope to make some extra cash by selling my photographs to this local art/photography store.

This might provide me with the extra funds I need to get the Hygger powerhead, along with all the test kits I need.

This is still pending, but I just talked with the owner of the art store, and we have an appointment on Wednesday.

It’s like 70$ but I was willing to send you my extra one since I don’t need it all you would have to do is pay for shipping but I wanna make sure it’s not just another useless pump for you

Thanks so much man!

From the reviews online, it looks pretty good.

nice...

I came from an era where we had much less flow, and still, many found success. So flow is not the end-all-be-all... and there is a thing about having too much flow, especially in a “small” tank like a 30G.

Mushrooms are hardy, so if you want to get one, it’s not a big deal in my experience. I don’t remember anyone ever complaining that they killed their mushroom (short of a total tank catastrophic event)

Definitely hardy, haven't killed one yet!

Tank is doing good!

My dad should get back sometime next week, so I’ll be able to hang the light.

(Cyano is still an issue, but I plan to deep clean tomorrow)

Cyano sucks lol I’m dealing with dinos right now and it’s tough my test are always 0 .-.

That does suck, sorry to hear that.

Is it true that coralline algae has to be introduced to the tank?

 

[shadow_k]

Yes if you have some on a rock scrape it off in the tank

 

[shadow_k]

Or if your snails have some there scrapes it off there shell

Sadly, I don’t have any on any of my rocks. :/

I guess I could call my LFS and see if they have any they could give/sell me.

Is your offer for the powerhead still available?

I don’t know, maybe this art store is different, but most galleries/art shops/even coffee shops that sell art only take art on a consignment basis, especially from new/unknown artists/photographers. One of my good friends was a fairly well known artist (has two paintings in the permanent collection at MOMA), and even she had a hard time selling art (I say ‘had’ because she and her bf were murdered a few years ago).

My point in saying this isn’t to discourage you from trying to sell it, but just that it’s not an easy or reliable way to make money. I would definitely look into mowing lawns, shoveling snow in the winter, doing odd jobs, etc. I think you said you go to church, ask around there, shouldn’t be too tough to find some people that need help with their yards, or babysitting, or even family, event, or senior pictures if you want to get some experience with your photography.

Thanks so much man! I’ll PM you for details.

This art store isn’t even close to being professional per say, it’s more of a local attraction.

Anyway, my sister had to problem selling her buttons there last year and the owner was rather excepting.

I do have a job, but I just wanted to make some quick, extra side cash.

Update here, hangout/spam over there. That way when you (or someone else) wants to go back through your build, it's all in one location!

Hehe, I’ll take that into consideration.
