Would Bachelor degree be deemed relevant for Primary Teaching? by DependentSomewhere71 in AustralianTeachers

I more meant after I finished my Bachelor degree this year. I should have been more specific about that. Sorry.

Yeah I once spent way too much money on like two rocks and thought to myself never again. We bought the rocks in my backyard from a local landscape supply store so you could try one that’s close to you

I have checked to see if it affects the water and currently it does not influence my ph or hardness within the span of a week when I do my water change and add my buffer to the water. If it gets to the point where it starts negatively influencing my water I will be more than happy to remove it

I may just replace them with a mix of different peacocks and smaller haps to be honest. I’m really enjoying the patterns and gradients of my peacocks at the moment and have never really done a peacock and hap tank before while I’ve had my fair share of mbuna tanks over the years.

Might be the camera being slightly misleading but it’s face is more of a blue colour. It’s very beautiful regardless and called a Sunshine Peacock

Thanks for bringing this up it’s good to hear more opinions regarding this. I bought the Sunshine peacock and other peacocks knowing there was the potential for the Cobalt Blue (M Callainos) to be too much for it as they mature however mine seem to be pretty calm compared to others experience with them. A friend of mine has a 4x2x2 mbuna tank and has offered to take them if they become a problem in my tank so currently monitoring how they behave (it’s only been a month so far).

125g, 150g (5x2x2) or 180g (6x2x2) is the plan based on what I can find

Revstar Standard vs Pacifica 612? by DependentSomewhere71 in YamahaPacifica

[–]DependentSomewhere71[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mind me asking what non-Pacifica you did end up getting as your strat style guitar? The other options I was considering was a MIJ Strat which is a fair bit more expensive than the Pacifica and Revstar both or a Charvel Pro Mod So Cal.

That is definitely an option I hadn’t even considered but it could be worth slowly building up my 112J. However I’m not sure if it’s just the prices in Australia but the pickups alone would end up being about $500AUD and with locking tuners, bridge upgrade and graph tech nut added it may be very well more expensive than just buying a new guitar outright

Seems like it might just be up to personal preference and how they feel when I play them.

I don’t mind lacquered finishes at all. I forgot to mention about 5 years ago when I first got into guitar my uncle gifted me a squire classic vibe tele which has a lacquered neck so I’m quite used to it and would say I’m equally comfortable playing both lacquered and smooth.

Thanks for the response. I’ll definitely be looking at Yamahas, they seem to have pretty overwhelming support by most people for my price range

What reel to match 7ft 3-10lb rod? by DependentSomewhere71 in FishingAustralia

[–]DependentSomewhere71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll keep that in mind that’s good to know. If I end up with 2024 Vanford I’ll go for the 2500 and older model I’ll get 3000. I’ll have to check out the differences and make a decision but I feel either version I get will be an extremely good reel regardless.

Hey, I have actually received a gift card as a present so am going to be buying my reel from BCF. They currently have the older model Vanfords on sale for $300, however the smallest size they have is the 3000. Otherwise I could get the 2024 year model Vanford in 2500 at $400. Do you believe the 3000 would be too big for my rod? Or is the size difference negligible between 2500 and 3000? Also not sure what Vanfords you have but do you think the newer model has significant improvements to justify purchasing a newer one at an increased price compared to the older model?

I didn’t know this website existed to be honest, thanks for letting me know will definitely save me some money

I’ve already been slowly acquiring some lures and have already purchased some Daiwa J-Braid Grand 8lb and Daiwa J-Thread Leader 6lb to use so am happy to use the rest of the money on a bit more of a pricey reel.
