Weeding out those unwanted stones may turn out to be an invaluable skill if later she wish to become a Gemologists or GeologistsLet's start with today's CATS task. I have also recruited my daughter so she learns such skills.
I’m not impressed with their arrangements. Look at all this stray granules!End result:
Very important if duckweed is not to take over.I do not have any pictures, but I frequently remove all my floating plants (Frogbit and Pennyworth) to meticulously clear off duckweed under running water. Now, thats a skill that wont get anyone ahead in life, but it's definitely an OCD trait of mine.
If you think that those stray granules are the work of ramdomness then you did not appreciate the full extent of my OCDness. 🤯.I’m not impressed with their arrangements. Look at all this stray granules!
@Hanuman thats a great comeback! Personally, I tend to agree with @hypnogogia - especially that single red pebble in the 2nd pile really bugs me... and if I am not mistaken there are two reddish ones in the 3rd and one in the 4thIf you think that those stray granules are the work of ramdomness then you did not appreciate the full extent of my OCDness. 🤯.

I was just about to comment on the arrangements on those ceramic rings (which I assume it is) - two of them (adjacent to the reds) distinctly look like those color blindness testsBlame that on my color blindness. 🤓
this isn’t really what it is though, no offence. I think its more of an anal retentive…which everyone probably have at some levels.
I do appreciate the over simplification and that is intended. I am by no means a doctor nor this is a support thread with those with actual OCD and I don't pretend to know all about it, far from it. A touch of humor is important in life though. We all have our issues and I am the first one to make fun of mine.This is by no means a thread to make fun of those with actual and diagnosed OCD. 🙏
They went to the plants in the pots outside my home. It's literally dust and see no use of it in a tank.I wonder what are you going to do with smallest granule though?
Well I didn't realize this before you said it but they do like those tests indeed.two of them (adjacent to the reds) distinctly look like those color blindness tests
What about turning it to mud and making Wabi-kusa balls out of that?They went to the plants in the pots outside my home. It's literally dust and see no use of it in a tank.
I went down the ball path (... oh this sounds funny) in the past and it was interesting, but I think it's overrated. In any case I didn't have enough for even one small ball this timeWhat about turning it to mud and making Wabi-kusa balls out of that?
Following the advice of one of the forum moderators the title has been changed yet again to Compulsive Aquatic Tank Syndrome (CATS).I've slightly changed the thread title in order for it to be less medically oriented and perhaps less offensive to those with actual OCD. 🙏
Ha! I noticed that as well! also the upper left hand-side basket have noodles stacked.... not to the mention the slapdash arrangement of the baskets - the handles are not aligned in the same direction.One of those noodles isn’t straight! 😂
