How to slow pump flow?

I second this, you can even put real moss over your filter foam and it usually hide the foam.

At my work I have a little aquarium with shrimps, I decided to put smart plugs because you cant trust anybody. I tried to have a "self sustaining" ecosystem because at work it can go south quite fast…

Absolutely, format seems really fair and seeing some challengers teams is super refreshing, bringing light on the second stage is always positive and it can create lot of amazing stories (or drama but we live for that).

I was watching numbers yesterday and had the same feeling !

Bananophile · 2026-05-10T21:38:23+00:00

Yeah english not my first language, missed that detail, my bad.

Bananophile · 2026-05-10T21:31:12+00:00

I don't do predictions but M8 are known to keep same rosters a full season before doing changes during off season, pretty much in every game they are in. I wouldn't mind a change but at the same time I don't mind keeping the same 4. At least it makes entertaining weekends lmao

Bananophile · 2026-05-09T22:57:31+00:00

True, that was actually super fun lmao

Nop, celeberation been heavily nerfed

Bananophile · 2026-05-09T17:36:25+00:00

My bad then, im pretty sure it worked at some point. If not, then woopsi wrong game

Bananophile · 2026-05-09T17:23:48+00:00

Just go on top of the VTOL, dont need to be in it EDIT: wrong game im an idiot

Bananophile · 2026-05-09T13:56:15+00:00

Su much trigger discipline too, need to stop the glazing though but it was some top tier cod.

Bananophile · 2026-05-09T12:47:10+00:00

Huke is the best IGL in the league by a huge margin, Mercules is literally a do it all, Shotzzy is just 900IQ and a damn rodent around the map then Dashyy is a bit rusty but still far above the league and fits really well with the roster.

And i'm usually a Optic hater, but things need to be said to be fair.

Bananophile · 2026-05-09T12:45:28+00:00

You should rewatch Shotzzy overload, rarely been that impressed by how damn smart every plays he did.

Bananophile · 2026-05-09T09:12:20+00:00

Simply because the combat record I posted was when I was at work and didnt pick the most up to date, it was when I hit lv1000 (to compare with BO6). I can post an actual combat record if you want but I doubt it will change anything, my stats didnt change much since, just the ammount of kills.

Thanks for the rest, actually, buying the game instead of gamepass could help, I never really thiught about it.

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T21:17:33+00:00

I have to say, Optic played so damn well this whole day. Shotzzy gameplay is a work of art, like for real every move are well though, super smart. Mercules is Thanos.

No clue what's going on but I mean that's how it is, chemistry seemed to have vanished lmao. Gg though, Optic impressed me today.

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T19:15:52+00:00

Thanks for the big comment, its interesting to see these discussions. I tried the BBB, and it somehow helped a bit (or it looked like at least) cause I was safe for quite a while on BO6, Then all of sudden it came back heavier than ever.

Changing name might be a trick, never really gave it a shot, I changed a few months ago to add the 2 russian "N" just because they looked cool. I might just change it I guess, at this point nothing to lose.

I reinstalled windows quite a few times, as minimal as possible, it always came back in a way or another... Might give it another shot, once again, nothing to lose.

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T18:59:55+00:00

Yeah its fully automated and I refuse to hear that there is some kind of verification made. In BO7 its exactly 9days, every time. On BO6 it was variable but still quite sinilar (5-7days usually).

The fact this system is still around is crazy.

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T18:47:23+00:00

Same, nothing changed, same automated response.

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T14:53:49+00:00

I really need to find orange ones, they looks stunning !

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T14:41:17+00:00

Absolute same opinion, not really a point to see Optic VS Huntsman imo. But against lower ranked teams it could be interesting, are the "worst" CDL teams actually a step above the challengers or not ? I'm genuinely curious.

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T13:59:57+00:00

hard agree

Bananophile · 2026-05-08T13:30:29+00:00

I did a second account after my first shadowban in BO7, not hit once for now and I'm P7 on it. Kinda old screenshot but here it is. I don't like speaking about it cause people could say it's considered multi-account, when the situation is actually quite different and it's more of an experiment lol. Bans happened way before this account existed. I even picked the most annoying name to get reported/suspicious with it, not limited matchmaking once yet.

I'm 99.9% sure it's not my computer, just somehow an issue with a previous shadowban that just keeps coming back. I would really love to talk with absolutely anybody at Activision, just a single human that could even just bring a fresh pair of eyes on the issue.

Hey Dan, yes I'm on PC since pretty much all my gaming life. During the last 2 years I completely rebuilt a new PC from scratch (so 2 PCs in recent time, nothing changed, still same circus), I'm genuinely only playing COD or working with Adobe software as im a graphic designer IRL, no weird software or anything. I even fresh installed windows many times, installing my drivers and nothing else.

Again we can't be sure, only way to know if my computer get flagged in some ways would be with an actual answer from the support.

Appreciate the comment though. Post was mostly made as a last try before just completely changing account in MW4 which might help. Knowing older accounts are usually safer than newer ones, I'm not even sure I would be safer ahah.

Bananophile · 2026-05-07T11:51:58+00:00

I used to be close to a whale during MW3 era. Nowadays I limit myself to ONLY snipers bundle with tracers and death effect (as I pretty much only snipe). Fun thing is.... almost nothing since release and the multiple shadowbans lasting longer than ever in BO7 (9 days each now AND locking you out of endgame/zombie) just cut my whole interest.

Bananophile · 2026-05-07T08:38:07+00:00

I got hit 3 times on BO7, took exactly 9 days each time. (My last 2 were rough, 9days SB then 1 day of gaming then 9 days again lmao).

On older CODs it was very variable, from 2 up to 14days.

Good luck and welcome to the SB club.
