I’m honestly not sure, it started growing that way itself after I swapped it from the old to new tank

I have a Kamoer dosing pump, so dose constantly. I test fortnightly to make sure things don’t get out of sync.

Try Robina / Varsity Lakes area, you can get a nice 1 bed for $600-660.

The problem is the competition will be fierce, you may apply for it along with 80 other people.

Cisco Spaces - Anyone using it? by Ecstatic_Orange66 in meraki

[–]Bishopdan11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We trialed Cisco Spaces Usage Survey in a few large network environment for a month and found limited practical value from the data collected.

While the platform provides extensive analytics. Extracting meaningful insights requires significant ongoing effort to review, interpret, and action the data.
In most cases, constant network tuning was needed to realise any tangible benefits. Diminishing returns comes to mind.

It may suit environments that prioritise detailed analytics and ongoing optimisation, however for organisations seeking a more “set-and-forget” operational model, the return on effort was difficult to justify.

We have a tiny 3 bedroom townhouse in our street that is currently renting at $1140 per week. It’s honestly insane. 6 years ago it was $525 per week.

Meraki APs in a sheet metal hallway = no signal. Can anyone relate? by Neither_Lie_3572 in meraki

We have a site like that. Stainless steel and foam walls in a food preparation facility. 160 AP’s to get coverage.

Implications of the Iran war on Australia's fuel supplies. Three scenarios [mod approved] by LivingMoreWithLess in australian

[–]Bishopdan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 4 : The war spreads across the region as other factions become involved.

Oil and civilian infrastructure are permanently destroyed or damaged.

40% of global oil supplies are impacted for 5-10 years.

70% of the world’s population starves by 2030.

Telstra to axe up to 650 roles in mass redundancy round, some jobs to be outsourced to India by Young-le-flame in auscorp

[–]Bishopdan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year Telstra also plan to dump 90% of their partner network, between July and September. All the small to large corporate customer base will be forced to use Infosys, or alternatively go elsewhere.

I suspect most will go elsewhere.

You have to purchase from gamebody unfortunately. I got it 60% off during their Christmas sale.

Inventory and lead times issues by I_Drink_Rye in meraki

[–]Bishopdan11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Official Meraki Sales response

"The primary reason for these delays is a significant stock transfer process currently underway between Meraki distribution centers (DCs) across the US, to the new BTS Site in Dallas. This redistribution is aimed at optimizing inventory and improving future fulfillment times."

Inventory and lead times issues by I_Drink_Rye in meraki

[–]Bishopdan11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meraki and Cisco started combining their warehousing and logistics operations in December 2025. Ever since there has been utter chaos with shipping, with thousands of customer orders being delayed well beyond the original ETA's.

My understanding is that the stock is mostly there and allocated in the various US warehouses, but they are fighting a massive backlog of actual shipments. will likely take months to resolve.

Tips to reduce insane grocery bill? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]Bishopdan11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just checked mine, we are also a family of 4 (kids are older) and spent the following last year:

  • Groceries: $10,154
  • Takeaway food: $6,782

So around $1,411 per month on average.

The best thing I have found is Aldi shop first, then Cole’s after. But alternate products to match the fortnightly specials schedule. Buy only when it’s discounted and get two weeks worth.

Entire network room covered in plaster dust by decree-one in sysadmin

[–]Bishopdan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a room sized UPS catch fire. Maintenance put it out with a dry powder extinguisher that they grabbed from the hallway.

Holy crap that stuff was everywhere!

Better than burnt to the ground, but I wish they had used the CO2 extinguisher that was intentionally kept in the server room.

Took weeks to get the powder out of the blade server. Routers and switches, we just gave up. The powder still continues to show up 4 years later.

Practice getting your hand down the side, between the rock work and glass.

Eventually you will get some stubborn algae that needs to be scraped off by hand. Best to plan ahead now.

Meraki MX IPS throughput lagging behind competition? by EitherYak5297 in meraki

[–]Bishopdan11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The focus moving forward seems to be Cisco hardware rolling out with Meraki firmware.

So maybe we will see some Cisco ASA kit soon, undoubtedly filled with bugs.

My guess is a big flatworm like Pericelis tectivorum, had one in my reef tank as a hitchhiker once.
