About Me

Hi, I’m Evelyn, a quiet observer who finds meaning in small things. Wander Within is my personal space to share thoughts, reflections, and the little discoveries that shape everyday life.

You’ll find a mix of inspiration, calm moments, and sometimes a few notes about aquariums, plants, shrimp, and some random thoughts, simple joys that remind us to slow down and appreciate the world around us.

Here, I write not to teach, but to reflect, to wander within, and maybe inspire someone else to do the same.

Accelerate Biofilm Production for Shrimp with a Simple Trick

Biofilm is a natural and highly nutritious food source for shrimp, and a simple method allows it to be produced in large quantities. Traditionally, leaves, water, and bacterial additives were placed in a bucket to cultivate biofilm, but adding   one teaspoon of brown sugar   to the mix greatly accelerates its growth. How it works: Use a  20L bucket  of remineralized water (GH/KH+ for Neocaridina shrimp). Add  banana leaves ,  a bacterial product  (such as Bacter AE or dead shrimp powder), and  1 teaspoon of brown sugar . Provide  aeration  with an airstone. Leave the mixture for  2–3 days  for optimal biofilm production, refreshing it weekly. The sugar serves as fuel for bacteria, producing a  thick, slimy biofilm  layer on the leaves—described as “like wallpaper paste.” Shrimp eagerly feed on these biofilm-covered leaves, resulting in  rapid breeding and population growth  in the tanks. It’s important to wa...

The film begins in 1950 , when Sergeant Süleyman , a Turkish soldier, is sent to Korea to support South Korea during the war. He leaves behind his parents and his worried girlfriend, promising to serve his country with courage. Amid the chaos of the battlefield, Süleyman encounters something that changes his life forever. In a forest filled with the aftermath of war, he discovers a little girl clutching her dead mother’s hand — the only survivor. Moved by compassion, he takes her in and names her Ayla , which means “moonlight” in Turkish. Despite the harshness of war and strict military rules, Süleyman raises Ayla as if she were his own daughter. The little girl brings light and laughter into the soldiers’ lives, even in the darkest moments. He teaches her to...
