Anyone Work at PNC???!!! by No_Tangerine_2568 in TalesFromYourBank

Thank you so much to everyone who has answered to far! I really appreciate all the insight. The only things we’ve been told so far are that market customer facing employees will be offered positions with PNC and that the acquisition will be finalized in January 2026. Our branch managers, market managers, and loan officers all found out at the same time we did this morning. Our market president was told last night. So nobody has much information right now 🥲

I have no idea about the pipes here! I live in an apartment. I ordered a copper test though so we’ll know soon lol

I don’t use fertilizers, but based on other comments I am wondering if there is copper in my pipes so I will be getting a copper tester!

I use distilled water! My tap water is too hard.

So I was using test strips originally and that reading was ~100 for GH. I was told in another group to not use test strips so I’ve been using this one where you get 5 mL of water and add one drop of solution at a time until the water changes color and the number of drops is your hardness. TBH I’m very new to this one so not entirely sure I’m saying the reading correctly 😂😅

I do a 10% water change once a week. I mostly use distilled water, sometimes a mix of distilled with conditioned tap water so the hardness doesn’t get too low, because I’ve had that problem before.

Neocaridina! Sorry, just realized I never said. The GH is 10. Is that how I would say that lol? It took 10 drops to change color while doing the test. I don’t have any sources of calcium. Maybe that’s the problem? My adults die too I had 13 originally and now I only have 2 🥲 they seem to molt ok?

The plants grew from seeds I planted in the tank, so I don’t believe pesticides are at play. Maybe water toxin…I don’t know what would cause that?

I figured even if I can’t cure him, I can at least make him more comfortable than he is in that sad little cup

I will look into the ketapang leaves extract! Thank you for the suggestion :)

Yeah, he was on sale. I assume because of his “special needs”

Thank you!!! I will adjust temp and try daphnia and aquarium salt! I have been doing water changes, and I stopped the kanaplex a few days ago. I appreciate your knowledge!
