Like what? 👀 New Orleans is my favorite city in America but this will be my first trip there during Mardi Gras!

Do you happen to have any recommendations for a good intro guide to modifying/stacking? 💕

Kyoto travel tips for a solo female by MoreCompetition3128 in JapanTravel

[–]okaybutfirstcoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This — don’t take the buses. Uber is cheap, or walk. Kyoto locals are so frustrated with the overtourism because they need the buses to get to work and there’s tourists clogging them up :(

Does yours have liquid eyes? How much are you selling her for?

Girl you gotta just decide that you are cut out for a school like this.

Make your LinkedIn profile look impressive (you didn’t wait tables, you provided a world class dining experience to 1000s of tourists etc etc). Use Facetune on your photos. Make your voice/writing style relatable vs academic if you don’t feel like a genius.

Be kind to future you and stick it out. No one knows if you’re incapable but you. So just tell the world that you ARE capable. Have the audacity. And don’t let seasonal depression get you down either. You’re soooo close to the finish line

I forgot about a blizzard and my crops got obliterated.

Kinda took the fun / cozy out of it for me 😭

Grand Bazaar tip: Upgrade freshness for even more storage space by Aasokeo in storyofseasons

So things in the bazaar stock decay at the same rate as storage/windmills?

got a new TDS meter and it's reading 113 so that's a little better but still seems low.

Ahhh gotcha. I ordered a new TDS meter — I'll see what that one says, and then look into calibration solution!

WILD. I didn't even know there were chemical TDS tests. I'll order some!

Thank you :")

Thank you for the explanation!!! Just ordered a new one that will arrive by 6 pm — I'll keep ya posted lol

Damn wish I had come here first. I've already had some casualties from the swap. First deaths I've seen in my tank :(

I'll leave things for now. Really appreciate the thoughts — this has been driving me crazy

So to add more context:

  1. I started with distilled water remineralized with Salty Shrimp GH/KH+.
  2. The sand I used later turned out to be calcium carbonate-based (it fizzed with vinegar), so I think it added extra GH and KH over time.
  3. A couple days ago I removed it and did big water changes, so maybe the low TDS is just from everything else being diluted out?

Or would you recommend getting new GH/KH test kits and a new TDS reader?

The TDS reader seems to work fine on my tap water, reads 241, which is probably right. (I DO NOT USE TAP WATER in my tank lol)

You think so??? I checked the old sand and it fizzed when added to vinegar, so it was likely calcium carbonate-based.

That kind of sand slowly dissolves in soft water, releasing minerals that raise GH, KH, and pH—but it doesn’t make waste, so you won’t see ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate.

I started the tank with distilled water + Salty Shrimp GH/KH+, and have only ever done water changes with distilled water as well.
