Tool tips - instant glossary


NoGi

Recommended Posts

Would this be of any interest to people here? It costs money so don't want to get it if no one wants it. I see some value in it for the newbies trying to get their head around the lingo in the hobby.

Might be worth it if its easy to use. Does it automatically create links to the glossary in peoples posts or do they have to be manually added?

Does it work for all posts or does it only work with (library) articles?

It look like a great idea, I know Ben has done a Glossary thread but I don't think many newbies would know about it. I know there's no stupid questions here but there would be a few too embarrassed to ask. How would it work? would we have to tag words or would that happen automatically?   :fishing:

It would be automatic. The words and definitions are defined in the back end. You can decide what parts of the forum to turn it on as well (i.e. forum and library or just library or  just forum, etc...)

A great piece of tech! Maybe test drive it in the library prior to applying it on all forum!

It hurt my head too much trying to think of what words to enable in the library as the library itself is a big glossary LOL. I've turned it on in the forums but only for CRS.

Seems to be working well. Did you need help setting up other glossary items? May be able to assist over the next week.

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
