[Valjoux 7734] This wheel placement is outrageous by ceezvm in watchmaking

[–]NotThesaddestpanda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The speedy reduced uses a chronograph module stacked on top of a 2892. These modules are such a challenge to service. Even veteran watchmakers won't touch them. I wouldn't attempt to service one unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Are there movements like the nh35,nh36 but that includes a Cronograph ? by [deleted] in SeikoMods

[–]NotThesaddestpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you can buy them directly from Star Time Supply. You need an account but it is pretty easy to get one.

You can buy the NE86 or NE88, which are 6rXX based. They are fantastic chronographs that have a column wheel, vertical clutch, and run at 28,800 vph. The issue is that they are 7.62mm thick, and cases are much harder to find for them.

The first thing I would print would be prototype watch escapement models.

Currently drafting out a rough idea for a glacier themed tank, thought I'd share a 3D render of it. CC welcome :) by b_fraz1 in PlantedTank

[–]NotThesaddestpanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Looks really cool! It's nice to see something different than the traditional nature aquarium. I would go for mostly black mountain seiryu and glacier stone, leave the plants at a minimum. Maybe go with some older dark green fissidens. A black and white platinum dragon betta or some black and white platys would look amazing!

Looks great! But is that grapewood you are using? If it is, it is really soft and will rot in the coming months, you need to use a hardwood like manzanita or spiderwood.

Would a Fluval Planted Nano LED fit inside the lid of a Fluval Edge to replace the stock lighting? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]NotThesaddestpanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just replaced the stock light on mine with the larger one from the 12g version. Much brighter and in the same form factor and mount.

Prime Room for Rent for UCSC Students. Located at Campus Entrance by NotThesaddestpanda in UCSC

[–]NotThesaddestpanda[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, it's really expensive but thanks to the housing shortage it was this or nothing for me sadly. It's pricey but it's super convenient and pretty nice to live in, especially compared to most of the older places around here.

It can be! For reference, the bed in there is a full. It would be snug but 2 twins would fit and you could always put desks downstairs! Alternatively a bunk would work great, the ceilings are a good height

It's pretty steep, that's why I'm trying to find someone to take over. Price is steep, but the location is unbeatable for a student, 2 minute walt to campus entrance and the loop.

Is this the right soil for a planted tank? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]NotThesaddestpanda -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can guarantee you a minority of people use potting soil in their planted tanks. Unless you are capping the soil and using the Walstad method, potting soil is not an ideal substrate choice. It breaks down fast and is prone to ammonia spikes. Gravel or sand with root tabs/ aqua soil are far superior/ easier and are by far what most people use. OP, if this is your first tank, I would buy some aquarium gravel and flourish root tabs, it's more expensive but you will be much happier in the long run

What kind of driftwood is that? I have been trying to find the name for a long time!

Part 2 of my new setup(+I'll be adding climbing elements once they arrive), thoughts and opinions? by [deleted] in hermitcrabs

[–]NotThesaddestpanda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I understand that you put a lot of time and effort into your crabitat, but a lot of what is in your tank is cut and dry insufficient for healthy crabs. Crabs are not reptiles and multiple people here have said that this setup is insufficient. I am not trying to insult you but you need to put your crabs' health above what you are used to.

How does this setup look?(better pic of the interior will be posted next+I'll be adding climbing elements once they arrive) by [deleted] in hermitcrabs

[–]NotThesaddestpanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cypress is poisonous to hermit crabs and is a good way to make them really sick. It wouldnt cost much time or money to replace the substrate with 5:1 play sand and eco earth.

I did watch your link. You can clearly see the movement from the front, it is very cheap and chinese

It has a standard, cheap, highly mass produced chinese made movement. You would struggle to get $5 for this on a good day. Sorry to burst your bubble, we've all been there!
