Fish Room Level-Up! Tiny Upgrades, Big Impact

Рет қаралды 16,759

Күн бұрын

I did a bunch of improvements around the fish room, which took a while but made a big difference! They were all pretty easy and inexpensive, and so worth it.
I haven't posted in a while! I've still been around, doing my own thing. Summer break just about killed me - I have two young kids who I'm the primary caretaker for and it really ruined me this summer. They sure were happy for all the love and attention though : )

Did Simply Betta have a mental breakdown this summer while the kids were out of school? Maybe! I'm back though, thanks so much for stopping by. My upcoming projects should be pretty cool!!

@cherellzandell6139 10 ай бұрын

I think it's actually back to school that might give me a nervous breakdown! With a new kindergartener who is not really sure she wants to be there, dance, soccer and baseball schedules, husband and oldest son birthdays this month, and trying to convince the kids that riding the school bus isn't actually the end of the world, I've got my hands full. Oh yeah, that's not counting a very mischievous 3 year old who continually thwarts my efforts at productivity. 😬😆

Great adjustments. 👍The metal air valves look fancy, but I found out that they leak air from the factory, and over time they can rust. The plastic air valves do not leak air, they are easier to adjust, they can't rust, and they are cheaper as well.

Based on my experience with the garage temp + insulated garage door, it doesnt exactly prevent extreme heat during summer. It helps it slow down the heat but it will still get warm and toasty if the heat lasted for days. The real solution is to have those semi-portable sliding A/C units you can just roll out during summer.

@SimplyBetta 10 ай бұрын

I'd settle for a slowdown! That afternoon sun is just killer. Like if it can prevent the heat from building up too much before the sun sets, then I can open the garage door a bit to get the cool evening air in. That's the goal at least

I think you want the light to shine the bottom of the brine shrimp hatchery and not the top since the brine shrimp are attracted to light and you want them to concentrate at the bottom of the hatchery.
