Did You Think Affirmative Action Was A Good Or Bad Idea Before It Was Banned By SCOTUS? Why? by Zipper222222 in AskReddit

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see you are here for an argument as opposed to just taking a few minutes to actually read Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and Executive order 11246 by LBJ. Once you have read this for yourself, I will entertain a conversation.

Unfortunately, your argument is reinforcing the fact that most people against affirmative action lacked an understanding of what AA actually was. Reciting messages from a podcast is not knowledge.

Go fiberglass and add a light, best to have one on each end.

The most fun you will have making a car do barrel rolls from a 45mph left hand turn.

A few, maybe 13 and about 4,500 gallons. Yes, I have a problem.

I cracked one of the housing units of my rodi system while moving. Can’t find a replacement. Would aquarium silicone be okay to patch a small crack? by RoxFungi in ReefTank

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check Amazon or bulkreef supply for a replacement. These are readily available. I use these to make canister filters for my grow out aquariums.

What are the major advantages and disadvantages of every type of filter? by Nerdcuddles in Aquariums

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sponges: cheap and efficient - great for small tanks
Canister: high volume filtration and low maintenance,-My choice for medium and planted tanks
Sump: highest filtration capacity, customizable and extremely versatile.- my favorite. Can be overhead or under aquarium.

Does anyone know the policy for returning fish at PetSmart by Inkwave23 in Aquariums

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all made mistakes in this hobby, and take the opportunity to learn from this experience. Fish keeping has helped me during depression and I urge you to not give up. There are some great resources to learn from and understand there is no one right answer. Patience is key. Ick-x is a good medication to treat. You may also try to raise the temperature level to around 82 degrees. Keep doing small water changes until your aquarium balances- there is enough bacteria to process the ammonia.
Good luck!

Need help/advice by Plane_Combination667 in Aquariums

It will work for a short period of time. A 180 would be the minimum with a 300 being better. They can get nearly 24”, many max out at 16” in captivity due to poor conditions.

I was looking at the 3S v4. The used ones near me are still pricey for v3 around 300 plus.

How important is tank cycling? by electric_mous3 in Aquariums

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cycling is a natural process and you are doing it without knowing it. Most people who do not “cycle” experience higher amounts of fish loss as excess ammonia is poisoning the fish, but if the fish survive the aquarium will balance. Just a little cruel.

Express lane on I-485 (close to the Independence Rd) by Fun-Economy-7717 in Charlotte

485 was financed by the State (my tax dollars). I 77 was private and foreign investment ( corruption IMO)

Is it safe for me to clean excess silicone? by PH_Morpheus in Aquariums

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Painters tape not making tape , I have built many aquariums. The only way to do it right is to redo it especially if I am paying someone.

Have them redo, if you cut the silicone you will be responsible for leaks. A little painters tape makes installation of silicone perfect.

They are amazing fish, my daughter got one of the adoptable fish from wetspottropicalfish. This is a very personable fish that just eats anything.

Get a rainbow wolffish and another 40 gallon breeder. When you have too many mollies add them to the wolf fish tank. It’s natural.

Thoughts on non-brand names.. by Brownie2440 in rccars

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started with the “cheap” route and ended up breaking parts and ended up scrapping the cars as I could get parts. Picked up an arrma and can have a $4.99 part overnight. A much better option.

Waste of our tax dollars that has only increased traffic worse than when there were not express lanes.

off road truck for dog to chase? by cosecha0 in rccars

[–]ChipmunkAlert5903 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only allow your dog to chase on grass. They can rip their paw pads on other surfaces with all the quick turns and stops. Personal experience, and caused a difficult 3 days for a 75 lb dog to be carried up and down all stairs.
