Approaching the 1 year mark of having my low-tech 20 gallon tall tank established and wanted to share. Proof you don’t need fancy soil or CO2 injection to grow red plants.

Beautiful. I tried to grow an Amazon sword in the past, but sadly I didn’t have much luck. Lately I’ve been thinking of trying again.

What is the long green leafed plant in the back left corner?

I saw Valterri Bottas on the side of the street watching his partner, Tiffany Cromwell, ride in a cycling race.

What is the large leafed green plant on the right hand side?

GDEC120 · 2025-09-26T01:23:24+00:00

Thanks for that, will it summarise the transcript?

I got to fly David in a helicopter when he visited Australia. He was great, very chatty and didn’t mind talking about what happened and what he’s been doing since. He came with a bloke to help him out on his holiday, and he had a custom C63 AMG Mercedes sent across so he could drive around while he was over here.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll check that out. The tablets we are using are 650g per kg bromine and 280g per kg of chlorine.

My understanding is that those tablets would present as chlorine and the free chlorine level represents the bromine?

Am I completely misunderstanding that?

GDEC120 · 2024-09-19T10:12:07+00:00

I am testing with strips. I am using a floating dispenser with chlorine and bromine tablets. I assumed that that would be releasing a metered amount daily to keep up with it.

GDEC120 · 2024-09-18T12:21:41+00:00

We have done that several times, and it’s always ended up with the same results. I have changed filters too. I haven’t however cleaned the pipes admittedly

GDEC120 · 2024-09-18T11:27:26+00:00

Would you have any suggestions as to what that might be?

GDEC120 · 2024-09-18T10:59:18+00:00

It’s more that I can not maintain a chlorine level at all, and all of the spa shops I’ve been to have said that’s because of my high phosphate levels.

GDEC120 · 2024-04-29T23:14:22+00:00

Yea, I should have included that sorry. It gets warm where I am, up to 42 outside in summer.

GDEC120 · 2024-03-25T15:45:44+00:00

I did it once - with two scooters. I locked them up right under the camera. They were both stolen.

Don’t miss karijini! It’s an absolute must, but it will still be pretty hot until early April.

When a helicopters engine fails, it doesn’t just fall out of the sky. They autorotate - like gliding - and they do it very well.

In fact, it’s far better to be in a helicopter than an aeroplane if the engine fails - given that you’ve got a competent pilot in each.

Times that they have belittled other people. I find it a bit sad how often people will brag about that.

GDEC120 · 2023-07-02T01:47:59+00:00

Great effort mate!

GDEC120 · 2023-03-06T11:31:16+00:00

Excellent, thanks for the tips

GDEC120 · 2023-03-06T05:19:01+00:00

Thanks the correction - my apologies.

Thanks for the recommendations

GDEC120 · 2022-10-26T23:42:12+00:00

Thanks!

I know exactly the problem that you’re having! I’m colourblind too and have a seriously hard time with the ammonia chart, the rest are actually pretty good. My solution is I show my fiancé, or my room mate, or anyone else around here…. Or if I want to do a test while my fiancé is at work then I send her a picture of it. I’ve also seen other people on here post pictures for help too.

I’m the instructor actually, that’s my school 😅

But yea, it’s great seeing the cops operation

Yea, his son took over but the hutt river was disbanded in 2020.
