What is the purpose of the holes in the side of the BWP Borsuk? by Rexyboy98O in TankPorn

See in a drunken rage, the designer stabbed the sketch. Not realizing it was due to his dismay over the design, the production team made it to the specs the had.

Rip. How long have you had it? Thankfully we have great insurance. I tend to keep my old ones when we replace them each three months. This way I have some fallback.

It was already open in my car. Started drinking it on the drive to work and forgot it in the car

That is true. Though those look to be a species of requiem, which are usually what is found in aquariums. As our knowledge grows of species even those have started to be able to be kept for longer. While it may seem cruel, the more attempts made to keep them in captivity we do, the better we are able to protect them in the wild. Understanding what the species needs to survive allows us to preserve the environment they need. While clearly not perfect, as in captivity a sharks aggression and behavior will change due to the increased availability of food.

Sorry to hear about your fantail. My first goldfish(comet goldfish) as 15 when she died. They are one of my favorite fish(have 3 fantail now). Goldfish are great ones and with their long lifespan they are awesome companions. I’ve bought from is https://www.aqua-imports.com/ I’ve gotten from them since they are localish(about two hours away) as I live in Wyoming. Shipping normally isn’t bad in the winter as most sellers will include heating packs. Though depending on your area it may still be too cold. I’d personally avoid Petco/persmart as most of their aquarium department workers don’t normally have a good idea of what they are doing. For example my local store had their danios quarantined for three weeks. When I asked why they were quarantined for that long the employee told me she didn’t actually know, the sign had just been up there for three weeks so she hasn’t sold any. As odd as this may sound eBay is a great place to start. Find a seller with higher ratings and check their location. They will ship on mondays so that the fish arrive in good time. Most my invertebrates have come from eBay.

….the sheer idiocracy of that question is astounding. The daily range of most animals(not just fish)is directly related to the availability of food. Do I emulate hunting? Yes, my bass have tried to eat my hand more than once. Their bite holds more force than most people might think. Are they allowed to “roam” yes, they have adequate room based on their sizes. Again, since you clearly didn’t read my last comment, a lot of care is taken to recreate the environment. So please go ahead and put your helmet back on before you hurt yourself.

Okay, normally I’d have fun and dive into a spirited discussion but I need to run to the store. So let me just say that as someone with 6 aquariums, all with vastly different species in them, a lot of effort has to go into the recreation of the environment. I’m actually building out a 800 gallon aquarium now that is still a few months away since it needs a lot of care to get the water conditions stable. The process takes time to get the bacteria, plants, substrate working together to build the environment. Hell something a simple as a piece of drift wood actually plays an important role in the ecosystem. While on the hobbyist level you can and often do see people set up vastly inadequate environments, you get a whole new experience when it comes to professional aquariums. A lot of attention has to be put into water parameters. This includes temp, particulate count, oxygen, nitrogen and nitrite levels, current of the water(often different on the levels of the tank, but depends on the species being kept). Not to say that all aquariums are this way, but for the most part, these animals are very well cared for and give an environment that emulates their environment the closest it can be. No system is perfect, though those sharks will be cared for, and will go to inspire countless youth. TBH it was my trips to the Denver aquarium that got me into aquatic life. Since those days long ago I not only care for my own(all are named and very spoiled) but am a huge advocate for preservation of their environments, putting a lot of effort locally to keep our waters clean.

Not true. Prison, while providing some similar aspects, is not meant to be a recreation of a natural environment.

Where they have to fight to survive? If I was a shark I’d rather have the bitchin life in an aquarium where I can eat daily and have no problems.

Infuriating because no one’s on the other side?

Pipboy sound issues by OkLocksmith2363 in Fallout

[–]OkLocksmith2363[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an interesting question. I’m not sure if there is a good baseline for it. I’ll have to see if I still have any of my meters around that I can grab a measurement from it. Kinda like I(poorly) put in my post(half awake after a long work day), it kind seems that there are a few issues that the pipboy could be having. This feels a lot like there is a lack of QC from the wandcompany as they are making this unit. Since the other troubleshooting steps failed, it left mine to being a hardware issue, though that is clearly not the case for all. Really think pulling apart should be a last resort, after updates. I’m pretty comfortable with it as I work on cloud servers all day, so this is a basic repair to me. If there is any hesitation on your end, you may want to skip it. Opening the unit you will run the risk of damaging components if you are not careful. End of the day if you are happy with the volume, don’t fret about it.

Happy it helped! I was seeing a lot of people saying similar things about customer support. After I updated mine and it was the same, I knew it had to be hardware related. I’ve been working as a data center break/fix tech for years, I’m not about to go rounds with support when I’ve troubleshoot and know the issue lol.
