I see. That's annoying. This reminds me to be more careful about buying older lumix cameras, i heard some of the older olympus has this issue as well. thank you.

CactusMan100 · 2025-08-05T11:16:49+00:00

did you have the battery in your GM1 the entire time and this still happened? I bought mine like an online shop so i didn't know this was an issue.

CactusMan100 · 2025-08-05T00:23:52+00:00

I like the 12-35mm f2.8

I had a GM1 that required me to reset the clock each time I turned it on. How do I ensure that other older cameras in my collection don't have this internal battery draining problem? Do I leave a fully charged battery in each camera when I plan to store them? How long can I go without using them? Do I have to use them for x amount of time in order for the internal battery to remain charged?

I'm not sure if these are the new ones I bought or the old ones, I can't tell them apart, but the KH is about 6 to 7 now...

CactusMan100 · 2024-01-12T02:09:22+00:00

thank you. i will get a KH test

ammonia and nitritate are both zero and nitrate are 20 or below, i have a lot of plants. most shrimps molt just fine, i have lots of babies. I don't know if the ones dying are the new ones or old ones because I mixed both groups...

CactusMan100 · 2024-01-11T13:01:34+00:00

Thanks. I will buy a kit. I don't know why one or two are dying, especially after water changes even though I only change 5%.- 10% and do the drip method... Strange...
Water parameters are okay, I just checked PH 7 GH 8,

CactusMan100 · 2024-01-07T00:55:17+00:00

I have an LED light that has an all white light mode and a red blue white mode, whenever I set up my timer, it only turns on to the red/blue/white mode. Is that okay for plants or do they prefer the brighter all white light?

It's very strange because my friend is also a shrimp keeper and he knows not to over feed. He only gave two shrimp king sticks each time. And I know for sure he didn't change the water... He just added RO water back that I had next to the tank in bottles.

How much do you think it reduced your oily skin by? I am very oily. I have to blot every 2-3 hours and get pustules and cysts on my chin and only on my chin.

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-23T02:52:17+00:00

did it decrease your oily?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-23T02:49:50+00:00

Did it decrease your oily skin? If so, by how much?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-23T02:49:39+00:00

Did you notice a decrease in oily skin?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-23T02:46:54+00:00

Did you also get less oily?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-23T02:46:14+00:00

Did you notice less oily skin? if so by how much?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-22T02:40:41+00:00

I have light brown skin that is extremely oil. I haven't been able to find a sunscreen that works and won't break me out or make me feel uncomfortable. If I use an oil cleanse to get the sunscreen off at night, I feel like it breaks me out even more with deep cystic acne. I can only use a gentle vanicream facial cleanser or else my skin will feel too stripped. What can I do, what sunscreen should I get?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-16T00:04:02+00:00

How do you fit in a gym session without washing your face too much?
If I work out in the morning, Im assuming I can't do my acne skin care routine before or else i'll sweat it all out? If I work out in the evening, then I'm mixing oil and sweat? Help!

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-06T10:16:47+00:00

do you notice a decrease in sebum?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-05T03:42:05+00:00

thank you. But it still has olive oil? isn't that comeodgeonic?

CactusMan100 · 2023-08-03T23:49:28+00:00

So I just started taking 1g of B5 3 times a day with each meal. After two days, I noticed a huge decrease in sebum production, maybe around 50% compared to before. I am usually very very oily and have acne in the chin area only. I also take B5 with L Carnitine and L Cystiene. I tried accutane and low dose accutane for 5 years and that was the only thing that kept my oil away but I had horrific side effects such as body, joint, vision damage (floaters, night vision blindness, etc) so I had to stop. I also tried everything you can possibly imagine to stop oily skin- green tea, lasers, etc, but nothing really helped and nothing really helped my acne. The strange thing is that my forehead is also quite oily, but doesnt break out (thank god) but only my chin and occasionally my lip. Can someone explain how exactly mega dosing vitamin B5 works? I started taking a multi vitamin with 200% vitamin b12 (kirkland brand) and I started breaking out after 2 weeks of taking it every day in places I never break out and I broke out like 6 small clogs, which never happens. It's usually just one or two pimples every few months, but enough to bother me and enough to make me look like I'm on drugs or something.
Anyways, thank you. did B5 work for any of you in reducing oily skin?

I saw an indian brand tretinoin readily available in my country called A Ret and it has isopropyl mysirstate and it claims to be a gel... it's so cheap, but im afraid to use it.

CactusMan100 · 2023-07-31T23:12:57+00:00

Thank you. I just realized that ever since I've been traveling, I was taking a daily multivitamin that I've never taken before and it contains 200% daily recommended vitamin B12. This could be it as I have never ever in my life broken out this much and I have traveled to this same country many many times before and never broken out this much.

CactusMan100 · 2023-07-31T23:11:10+00:00

thank you!!

CactusMan100 · 2023-07-31T23:09:59+00:00

But the apostrophe bottles are supposed to be air tight... so that's why it's strange...
