I really hate my classmates. They are always disliking my videos and teasing me at school about them. I don't understand why they don't realize that this is an expensive hobby and a lot of the money I use to buy plants and such is coming from profits off YouTube. They're always like, "Your fish tank videos are so lame, get a life!" and it's so annoying that they are stomping on my pride, my love, and my joy just to make me feel bad to no other result. Whatever, at least I'm making my stand tomorrow and yesterday I went here:
HS lasts for another 4 years tho...
But I'm very excited though because I'm headed up to the hardware store early in the morning so I can pick up the lumber for the stand. It's gonna be pretty fancy!
Also congrats to my dad on completing his half marathon!
Don't let jerks let you down bro. Ive been there and kno what its like. Always remember, when anybody messes with you, they are jealous, or very sad themselves.
It sucks that your friends don't like the same stuff. Find more friends?
Hang in there. It sucks now but it's only temporary.
I bought my friend a cube for his bday and now he's all into it too. He did have a slight interest though he just needed a little nudge in the right direction.

Unless someone was playing a joke on you since the tank is in the bathroom... I'd by suspect of "yellowish" water? Hmmm... my experience with tannins is a brownish tint like tea.
I assure you all, there is no urine in the tank. The color difference in the water is barely noticeable, but it is more like a light brownish yellow. The color of it isn't like, pigmented, it just seems to have a tint.
Holy crap! I come home today from a day with my buddies and I go and look in my tank to see that my dad bought me 7 otos! Apparently none of the stores had Amano shrimp so he bought 2 extra otos instead! I'm surprised at how fat they are, must have been hungry
Well, I did say I had a massive diatom outbreak!
In other news, my downoi is growing, my wood plants are rooting, and my HC and Hydrocoytle are rooted and are sending legit runners
It looks like they are a welcome addition. If they go to work like they did in mine, you will be a happy person. I had not had a clean up crew in awhile and now I regret it.
BTW, still trying to get you some plants, just waiting until I can get you a good amount of trimmings that are algae free.
Thanks! The back of the tank is like collectoritis so I always could use MOAR plants
The "cleanup crew" is working really well, a lot of the diatoms are going away at a faster rate than growing, and my HC is sending out runners. Also my H. Pinf. is starting to transition back to emersed at the top.
I definitely think the Green Brighty step 2 is working- my reddish plants are actually growing RED and my green plants are becoming a greener green.
Hopefully sometime around Thanksgiving I can install the new stand; this weekend is my Bar Mitzvah so I won't be able to do much.
You have the same tank in my living roomroud:. My house is very tiny though haha. Can't wait to afford a home with a living room and family room but that will be in another 10 years, assuming I stay in the Bay Area/LA area haha.
No Black Friday deals at my LFS; it's the sister store of AFA in San Fransisco. Canister sounds good, but the prices in-store are expensive I'll probably get the Eheim 2215 or the Fuval 306, an inline heater and either evilbay or acrylic lily pipes.
Or should I drop a few $$$ on a Fluval G3?
I have paintball CO2 with a nano regulator, so I may get a better regulator with a solenoid and get the CO2 glassware from NAG.
In other news, I am picking up my Canon 70D today at Best Buy's sale.
