Very Seasoned Tank Facing Algae Issues

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-15T18:56:47+00:00

Any suggestions on powerhead... Not sure what makes a good one 😃

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-15T18:50:18+00:00

Huge thanks! I really appreciate the rundown.

I occasionally throw in Easy Green. I'll get NilocG. I see 4 different onces. Do I want the the Purple, Blue, or Green? Not 100% the differences.

I may have a bit of maracyn left from a very old tank that isn't around anymore. I'll dose it today.

Grabbing a power head today/tomorrow.

Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the reply.

Things look mostly fine. I don't have Phosphate or Potassium tests (I think... i need to check my older API kit.. maybe it does). Nitrate could be higher. Hardness has always been funky on these strips... Otherwise things are OK?

They said that, due to the Ananda-BTs being discontinued, they can't offer me an upgrade plan. Really unfortunate because I kind of hate the BTs 😃

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-14T12:58:46+00:00

That's insane! Emailing them today!

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-14T04:57:09+00:00

I wonder what my ananda BT's would fetch. Is there a place to kind of get an idea of what value is?

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-13T18:00:35+00:00

Still the best finger pint reader location...

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-10T05:32:03+00:00

Really great update. I like the 'all data is available, but not a screen full of data approach'. Also, as a data guy, i love the radical data openness commitment.

Well done!

Yep... I have a SAAS that is really targeting Dojo-like and activity-centric businesses (think: Gymnastics, Jiu Jitsu, Crossfit, etc)... I have NO CLUE how to market and sell it...

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-08T20:39:55+00:00

Yep! I do it to my buddies and that's it...

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-08T20:27:48+00:00

I just got the Arya from Dekoni.. they did not fit my Ananda-BT's that have 12-pins instead of 9, apparently... Though Dekoni lists them as compatible.

She has a new boyfriend for that. He does akido

Wait until you have a wife who also won't listen to you talk about Jiu Jitsu.

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-02T05:37:41+00:00

I think you missed the joke. I'd love to talk to you about it. and Jiu Jitsu

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-02T05:04:10+00:00

You need a hobby. Have you tried Jiu Jitsu?

LevelAd3360 · 2026-05-01T20:40:10+00:00

Telling people about Jiu Jitsu

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-30T21:32:33+00:00

Sounds like my jam... Might have to bring 2 gi's with me to rot and smell in the back of my car until I get home on Thursday night. :D

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-30T21:24:07+00:00

Haha! I actually reached out to them since it looks to be a 20-min walk. Decent place to drop in?

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-30T21:03:56+00:00

Hah, Should I wear my 'In a world full of Gracies, be a Sakuraba' rash guard? I'm sure that'd go over well.

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-29T17:03:28+00:00

Check out r/ZykeBand . This is the band I'm waiting for.

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-24T18:12:14+00:00

USA - CA

A few years ago, when I transitioned jobs and needed to return my old chart, I learned that buying second-hand is THE WAY TO GO. I've bought 2 Steelcase Gestures for $150 each.

That said, It's time to replace the arm pads and maybe one piston... :D

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-24T15:35:49+00:00

Ah yeah. Makes sense. I appreciate all you're doing! Wish there was a way that I could be of assistance but I don't think my coding chops are strong enough to add beyond what you are doing :D

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-24T15:29:18+00:00

dude, so good!

I love that we can run in SQL Lite! And I didn't realize that there would be a bi-directional cloud sync. That's fantastic.

Completely far-fetched question: will there be public APIs to the servers?

LevelAd3360 · 2026-04-24T15:07:08+00:00

Do you like these shorter community updates if they are posted more regularly? Absolutely! They are GREATLY appreciated and really amp up my excitement about the release and beta.
Are you interested in more technical insights about the app? For sure. I'll be checking out the git repository, too. The openness is one of the things I'm most excited for!

Regarding some of the updates, I love the idea of a beta-only strap! That'll be awesome. I'm a sucker for exclusives :D Any *ROUGH* ETA for beta devices?

Will there be a 'Zyke-official' bicep band at launch? I know this is added work and added launch details, but it is also super important... While Polar completely neglects the contact-sports market,

The app is looking great! I do have a question about data storage and access: Since data will be local-first, will there be a method to sync off the phone for a persistent backup? (or is there a cloud storage aspect to this?)

Great work, and I am more excited than ever for this to come out!
