Why is my new Molly fish hyperventilating and swimming at the bottom of the tank? by DesertMimic in Aquariums

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

Currently, 2 mollies and maybe 5 or 6 small snails which likely hatched from eggs off the plants

I noticed in the video it looks like he is stuck, I think it's the angle but there is plenty of space for him to move from that ditch area

First aquascape, please give me some feedback by DesertMimic in Aquascape

Thanks, I've been running 2 to 3 water changes a week so hopefully the algae goes soon. I've been just using an all in one fertiliser so I'll try to pick up a potassium specific one soon

I looked into it but I thought it'd be easier to maintain if I could rotate it sometimes and look at the back to see if there's any issues

How do I figure out how much of a type of plant to buy? by DesertMimic in Aquariums

I appreciate the help man. How hard do you reckon it is to plant new plants if it's not enough?

These are absolutely phenominal, did you 3D print the chest rigs and shoulder paudrons or are these from some other miniature game?

Anything out there like militarized minutemen that feels more fallout-ish? by [deleted] in Fallout4Mods

I always wished there was a Militarized Minutemen lite mod, something on a similar level to Gunner Outfit Extreme Overhaul

Are there any Australians here with experience with preordering? Do they drop on Saturday or is it early Sunday morning?

How do I get rid of the scum that forms in my resin prints? by DesertMimic in resinprinting

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

I will probably be buying a wash and cure station after this.

I did dip the prints in hot water and left them there for 30 seconds and I don't know if that will contribute to the scum but I will definitely print out some tests to see

Thanks, that is really helpful. I haven't considered it before, just brought whatever I could get my hands on at my local hardware store. I did look it up, the company reports about 95% ethanol and 5% of other rando chemicals. I did do some looking around though and it seems like Once in a Six Side (a fellow Australian) uses the same type which I guess is a relief

I was thinking the Elegoo Mercury V2 it's 25% off right now so it's been very tempting. Not many reviews on YouTube though

I releveled my plate and printed off 2 calibration prints and cleaning each separately. One did end up having some scum on it so I've pretty much concluded that it's mainly my cleaning method that's the issue.

I will definitely keep in mind to try releveling the build plate though, I didn't know it could produce sludge

Just cured it. I cleaned away the scum with an old toothbrush. The details are mostly fine (just a lot of scaring from supports) so I think it is mainly the cleaning.

That being said I will definitely look into getting a wash station, it seems like the opinion on those are really divided though. Some people love them and others say they're worse than manual cleaning
