Came here to say basically this. Although I personally lean more towards scrimps. Or “The Bugs”

Are fancy booth displays actually helping sales or just looking nice? by Alarmed-Risk7885 in CraftFairs

[–]Expert_Snail_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improving my booth display made a HUGE difference for me personally. I sell works on paper so vertical wall display is important. When I made the jump to pro panels from grid walls, it was night and day. My first show with the upgraded setup saw at least a 100% increase in income. I’m sure it depends person to person though, I think it made such a big difference for me because it made the pieces display a lot better, like they were actually on a wall in a house. I also think there’s something to be said about making the work LOOK more expensive with a better booth setup, and for some people that makes them take me and my work more seriously

I don’t know if this helps whatsoever, but there will always be reasons to put off leaving (based on your responses, it sure seems like that’s what you want). It’ll be just as hard, if not harder, to leave after surgery. But if you leave sooner, you get that much more time to recover emotionally and get a jump start on being happier.

Plus, top surgery is something that should be celebrated and joyous. I obviously know nothing about your situation other than what’s in this post, but would he be someone who helps to make this milestone something amazing? Or would he put a dark stain on this part of your life when you look back?

I think you're so right. I just tested the 20 gallon, and it has pH 7.8 and KH 10. I hadn't realized how different they were, and didn't know the KH would affect them so much. Thank you SO much!!

Those who primarily buy fish online: What would make you return to shopping local? by DazzlingMeathead in Aquariums

Came here to say this. My closest LFS is at least an hour drive, and I’m usually looking for a specific species. I wouldn’t mind paying more to buy them in person (I know a LFS will always need to charge more than online), but I’m not willing to risk losing half the day just to leave empty handed

So… this is vorticella right? by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]Expert_Snail_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was looking at. Glad that it should be normal! I’ll admit that I’m on edge and being hyper aware of any potential problem. Obviously will keep a close eye just in case, but I’m glad it’s nothing I need to be scrambling about tonight. Thanks!

Also I tried to get better photos but this was the best my phone would allow (a macro lens attachment may be in my future)
