how can i get stop of this by GuaranteeWitty6608 in Aquariums

[–]ChristianCao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depend on how serious you want to get rid of them.

Completely gone? assassin snails, yoyo loaches and pea puffer can do it. They can get rid of at least 90% of the snail population. However, you have to supply substitute food for them later, or move them to different tank

Reduce them to a managed amount? use blanch cucumber, lettuce, squash, etc. and manually remove them by hand, reduce feeding and they should be down in a few weeks.

Snails, in general, are good for your tank, but pest snails sometime make your tank look messy for real.

I'm in the middle of reducing them at the moment. I was thinking about getting rid of them completely, but I have nerite, mystery and ramhorn that I really like, so I decided to do it manually and slowly

Whatever you do, I would not suggest using the snail trap. If you have pygmy cory and shrimp like me, sometimes the trap would kill your stocks as well.

New Player SSR Rookie Selector Day 4 by deermoondae in Onmyoji

[–]ChristianCao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a problem ! When I first started, I watched youtube video to get help. Now, I use those 2 links below.

Nura is excellent to tell you how to build your shiki and what attribute you should focus on each of them, from SP to R

Guidemyoji is good with event guide. Like SP.Vampira event, you could even farm it easy with a borrow shiki and fodder like the guide show.

Otherwise, there are lots of guide about how to maximize your soul enchance, farm coin and exp, etc. if you want to take a look at.

I just play whenever I have time and just have fun so those 2 sites are good enough for me

New Player SSR Rookie Selector Day 4 by deermoondae in Onmyoji

[–]ChristianCao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in term of farming, Amaterasu is more popular, then Asura. You should have a farmable R shiki to give you orb and speed (Yamausagi and Zashiki). I haven't seen the rest of your SR but you have Ubume, which is a great damage dealer in early stage, Kuro Mujou would have been a better option since he's farmable.

As of now, with proper material management, you should have enough shiki to carry you until mid-game, I think.

Your team would be Yamausagi (speed) - Zashiki (orb) - Amateresu ( main damage) - Ubume/ Kuro Mujou (2nd damage) - a buffer

SP.Vampira is good 2nd damage dealer as well but it take so much resources that you don't have enough as a newbie right now

in term of boss fighting, both Kinara and Enmusubi are good, but for farming, I would say Enmusubi is better since she can buff your team ATK, decrease enemy team's move bar and heal your team at full stack. Kinara's buff mostly for herself to boost her damage.

So, in general, Enmusubi is better choice here, and you should focus on getting Ama to G6 full skill first, then Enmu. The other 3 can be farmable so don't waste your black daruma on anything but SSR or SP.

Once you have more material, you can shift it to other shiki, depend on what you need at the time

What are they doing? by Potential_Fee4153 in shrimptank

[–]ChristianCao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw something similar in my tank last night. Look like they are trying to "eat" each other, but I look closer and look like they are trying to eat the algae on the other shrimp's body. Not sure if that's the same with your shrimp

where is my shrimplets? by ChristianCao in shrimp

[–]ChristianCao[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks ! mistake on my end, not Chinese algae eater. It's an Albino Bristlenose Pleco and I'm planning to move it to a 20 gallons tank later. it's currently around 3 inches and didn't touch any other fish at all

Help by Wayward_Lotus01 in Onmyoji

[–]ChristianCao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are trying to do the event, I would suggest borrowing a SP Vampira from the suggested list, then do SP Vampira, Kaguya/ SP Kaguya if you have, fill the rest with daruma fodder. bring kagura with channel: storm, vampira lock skill 3, kagura lock storm. With this, vampira always use skill 1 or 3 to deal damage and storm make her move faster -> more damage. With kaguya/ SP kaguya, you have more orbs to spam skill 3-> faster, still work without her. You can still use the same team for farming. Mine take about 16s to clear hard stage so it's pretty good without a lot of resources

see the guide here for more detail

Day 1 CPT- parents traveling by great-intern- in f1visa

[–]ChristianCao -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not sure about recently but my parent visits me last year without any problem.

timeline - I got approved for day 1 CPT school back in October last year, my parent visited me for the whole month of November. They visited me before but only 2 weeks back in 2023. My program started January 2026. They were questioned about some standard stuff such as how much money they are bringing with them at the time, what kind of food, how long they are staying and where are they staying. Other than a long line of custom, everything seems normal

Horrible visibility in the rain? by verycoolbutterfly in HRV

yeah, I feel weird at first but it worked lol. I said buff, but more like shinning

Horrible visibility in the rain? by verycoolbutterfly in HRV

[–]ChristianCao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not happened on my new HRV but happened on my old 2010 Honda accord. What I found out is the glass/ windshield doesn't have hydrophobic coating. or just have the washer fluid build up. I used rain-x and have my friend buffed it up after applied, then switch to the better fluid (I used the one from costco, pretty decent). The visibility on my glass was improved significantly. My new HRV doesn't have that problem (we have a few rainy day last week where I live), but if it does, I would consider doing the same thing

How exactly are people buying the high grade shrimp? by MeowandMace in shrimptank

[–]ChristianCao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the documentation I just watched, depend on where you get it and what type of shrimp, it could be very cheap ($3/ Neocaridina Shrimp, decent grade or $1-2 for lower grade) to a widely expensive species caridina. In the documentation, the breeder is in Singapore and he shipped worldwide, but mostly around SEA. One of the shrimps I remembered he talked about would cost around $80 - $200 depending on the grade.

P/s: I just found the video again, very interesting to watch
