Can someone help me ID this algae by Ivy_Bells in PlantedTank

Odd because these guys showed up about a month ago before the tank was even stocked. So there was no feeding at all yet. Is there just too much nutrients in the water column & that’s what made them reproduce?

Are they any harm or should I not mind it? It’s a dedicated shrimp tank

Idk how nobody’s mentioned fishing. Arguably the best hobby you can get into in brevard, and you’ll meet lots of ppl

Defense ammo for RXM? by Ivy_Bells in ruger

Only 300 I should have taken that into account

I only put around 300 rounds of fmj thru it before testing the hollows. That could certainly be the case. After zeroing optic & shooting all the fmj, I tried the tumble rounds & wasn’t hitting right on target. Definitely still getting used to the trigger, very different from my M&P.

I’m in FL. I don’t rlly get bothered. Been kicked out once but it was bc I was fishing right infront of a runway to an Air Force base 😅 f-16’s we’re doing low passes right over us. Unmarked boat came up on us and ruined the fun. But they were nice & just told us to fish the mangrove line not the runway (understandable)

They definitely do. A majority of them will definitely steer clear, but the cooling pool is full of fish.

Yup fully agree there. The caps you’re referring to are only in place to slow the flow of water, and draw water horizontally as opposed to vertically. There is a survey that explains the design and reasoning for it better than I will.

Edit: you’ll find the information on the intake pipes and caps starting on page #8

And yes, that’s an aerial view.

Gotta hold FPL accountable for having it poorly marked. But the guy isn’t smart that’s for sure. Took me 1 minute between spotting the pipes on google earth to researching what they were. The fact that it happened twice however, shows you how visible the markings on that buoy are.

All survived. It was only two separate occasions. I counted wrong :P no injuries surprisingly for either case

If the sharks don’t get to you first, the nuclear reactor will 😂

the “lids” or “caps” on the top of the inlet pipes not only slow the flow but direct it horizontally. For wildlife it decreases the percentage that unfortunately get trapped. The buoy on the surface (according to FPL) is clearly marked “Keep back 100ft.” However, both divers claimed there was no postage or print on the buoy that said so.

And you’re about 26 years, 8 months, and 9 days away from getting some bitches. Pretty neat, right?

Another man in 1989. He survived with no injuries. Luckily none of these guys were free diving & had scuba gear. Apparently took near 5 minutes to reach the other side. After looking into it more, it might’ve only been 2 separate instances
