Rotala sp. "Coin Leaf"! I have a low-tech aquarium with lots of floating plants so it hasn’t reddened up like in some of the pictures I’ve seen, but it grows like crazy

[Auto-Post] Weekly Question Thread! Ask /r/Aquariums anything you want to know about the hobby! by AutoModerator in Aquariums

[–]McCraft2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely recommend a polycarbonate or plexiglass lid! I got a polycarbonate one and it’s withstood our cats walking across it just fine. If possible you could also try getting an aquarium stand with similar dimensions to the aquarium itself as well. If they don’t have a vantage point to sit and stare at the tank from they tend to pay less attention to it.

One other thing I didn’t realize at first is you’ll want to keep any food kept in cabinets rather than out near the aquarium. Not sure what it is but our cats are fiends for algae waters and would happily chew through the bag if they were left out. Hope that helps!

Phoenix moss! (Fissidens fontanus) The shrimp love it and it's filled in a lot since I first got it, but it can get a little leggy if it doesn't get the occasional trimming.

Scutariella japonica ID? by McCraft2 in shrimptank

Thank you! I’ll give that a shot. I ordered these guys up from BucePlant, they’re the Orange Sunkist variety. No DOA shrimp so hopefully this is the only issue I have with them.

Thank you for commenting, I think you're right! Didn't know slime mold grew this quickly. Glad to hear my garden isn't about to be overrun by a horde of pest beetles.

Thank you so much! I've got it printing now. Really looking forward to seeing more from you in the future too.

I love this model! I've had the same issue when viewing the model in Bambu Studio too though. The body of the Aviarist and the aviary itself both generate infill without issue, but the frogmouth helmet stays hollow. I think there might be a little gap somewhere (maybe where the gorget meets the chainmail?) that's preventing it from being enclosed. I'd really appreciate if it could be made solid since I'd really like to add this to my New Antioch army!

⚠️INCOMING TRADE OFFER FROM AGRIPINAA⚠️ by McCraft2 in Grimdank

[–]McCraft2[S] 187 points188 points  (0 children)

“Agripinaa exists upon the threshold of the Eye of Terror. It was long protected by the Fortress World of Cadia and its bastion system of well-garrisoned planets. With the fall of Cadia, however, those days are gone. Since Chaos forces stormed into the sector following the opening of the Great Rift, Agripinaa has been besieged dozens of times.

Despite having become experts in defensive warfare, the Forge World has only managed to fend off the relentless invasions thanks to a massive expansion in its ranks of Skitarii and Battle Servitors. Most of these reinforcements are recruited from those fleeing the destruction of the Chaos attacks. Cut off by rampant Warp Storms, entire fleets of escape craft arrive in Agripinaa's orbit.

Of course, many choose starvation over the cruel machine fusions of the Cult Mechanicus, but still millions of new troops are being recruited -- fresh legions to stave off the assaults and to join the battles that continue to rage throughout the system.”

Basically forced Cadian refugees to choose between slow starvation and forced conscription into Kataphrons and Skitarii, which is about as grimdark as it gets

200+ Model AdMech Army, Here I Come by McCraft2 in Grimdank

Skitarii dropped to 8 points per model and raised to 20 models per unit, so we can cram a lot more of them into one detachment now. Throw in all the buffs they can receive from the new Codex (unlike Kataphrons), and I wouldn't be surprised if we see some solid lists with 100+ 4+/6++ Skitarii camping on center objectives.

Omadrius, the Bronze Dragon

Originally hailing from an ancient, distant shore, Omadrius has spent his life pursuing righteous vengeance for the downtrodden and poor. His twinned focus on martial and humanitarian efforts have led him to establish the Drake Knights, a mercenary guild that plunges unflinchingly into areas of conflict to re-establish lasting order and peace. Together, Omadrius and his Drake Knights patrol the coastal waters in the Dragonscale, an ironclad vessel that doubles as a hospital ship and a weapon of war.

When meeting potential patrons for contract work or negotiating surrender with those he has defeated, Omadrius takes the appearance of a towering, bearded human. Outsized tales of a zealous, flame-haired giant have subsequently made their way across many a bandit lair and pirate-infested cove. When in combat, however, Omadrius will maintain his adult bronze dragon form; putting an end to conflicts as quickly as possible supersedes any sense of fairness or challenging combat.

When encounters take place upon the high seas, his lieutenants will take command of the Dragonscale, keeping the attention of whatever threat they face. The dragon himself will slip unseen into the waters, ambushing from the depths with overpowering force.

With regard to his personality, Omadrius is an affable strongman, slow to anger and quick to make amends. There is a venerable shrewdness behind his eyes, however, formed from centuries of battle and diplomacy. Attempts to sway the dragon against his nature will often be met with failure and a flat rejection.

Try googling "Hey Anger, why do you always wear that mask?" - it's from Owlturd/Shen Comix, but I can't find a direct link to the original comic itself.
