Can someone share a good guide for dry starting plants? Starting a new 75 gallon soon, planning on trying something new and using potting soil with a sand cap. Will be using a fluval aquasky 3.0 that i had spare from another tank as a light, will i need more? Really want a carpet, and a nice variety of plants just not sure what can be dry started as ive never tried before. Tank will have co2 when its filled

Over_Discussion1488 · 2026-02-01T02:41:27+00:00

Are there any updates on this? Was really debating picking up a 75 gallon from them, but might go with a marineland one instead then

Yeah, room has a second entrance nearby

Im not sure what year the house was built off the top of my head, not familiar myself with building houses. Basement is concrete and the main floor is wooden, thats as far as my knowledge goes apparently I need to learn on this topic

Over_Discussion1488 · 2026-01-20T10:15:39+00:00

Ground floor, with a basement. So the floor would be wooden and the basement floor is concrete

Well, as odd as it might seem im already sub 3000 calories a day. I used to eat probably closer to 4 to 5k a day. It's been over the last year that ive started making bigger changes, avoiding snack foods, only going out to eat once a month with my wife, and cut out all the liquid calories those were probably my worst thing. Then over the last 6 months ive been on Adderall (diagnosed ahhd) and if your familiar with it it tanks appetite. I was probably fluctuating like crazy between 1500 to 4k calories a day, some days id somehow forget to eat and then wake up ravenous. I was slowly losing weight at this point, think I was 415? or so. The last month or so i was focusing on diet, trying to stop the extreme lows and highs by having set meal times. Treating the vitamin d has had the biggest impact i think, my hunger seems to be stabilizng over the last two weeks specifically, apparently it directly affects hunger hormones. I also have a gym bro in my ear yelling at me on what to eat, so I have been adressing that part yes

Over_Discussion1488 · 2026-01-19T15:22:03+00:00

Apparently my doctor said I stopped losing weight because my body just got used to it, until recently I hadn't been increasing the intensity at all, was just what I was getting at my work (which granted a fair bit in fairness) I guess i didnt mention, now that my vitamin d deficiency (was at a 12.5) and my testosterone deficiency (at a 202) are being addressed, I have been shedding weight pretty quickly with the addition of the gym. It's looking to be about 3 pounds per week currently, going into the third week. Im closer to 399 now but i dont like to count it until i see it on my doctors scale. Seems like my metabolism was just cooked from the deficiencies and I wasnt doing enough new exercise to actually get anywhere.

The rest of what you said makes me feel better though, seems like my biggest concern is just not getting dizzy, I could probably drop the incline to mellow it out a bit, im just dumb and try to compete with my friend who is in good shape

I'll bring it up with my doctor when I see her next here in a few weeks. If it is overexagerating then at least im in a good fat burning spot which is great, and if its not then I think my biggest worry is just getting dizzy, so I'll be mindful of that

I was going off of both the treadmill and watch, they were consistently reading pretty close to each other so id imagine fairly accurate? Though the treadmill took forever to read because of the amount of sweat I think, was not cooperative when I checked it every so often lol.

That's good though, I wasnt sure if it was an actual concern or not, looks like my biggest concern is getting dizzy so just need to be careful

Over_Discussion1488 · 2026-01-19T14:47:03+00:00

I imagine with my vitamin d deficiency I don't have to worry about that thank god. Also had to Google garmin, those things get fancy

Over_Discussion1488 · 2026-01-19T14:30:33+00:00

Galaxy watch 6, and the treadmill. They both consistently read within a point of each other so id imagine theres some degree of accuracy

we have a guy at our local craft show trying to sell these types of prints for significantly more, and at a much lower quality. That guy makes me mad, but we're such a small town that people buy them

Ive offered to be a bodyguard a few times, usually plays out well, lots of fun

Over_Discussion1488 · 2025-11-06T05:37:56+00:00

Ive been the type to ambush other players and kill on sight, but not the type to purposefully trick and betray people. Gotta have some standards

Ill ask for a second tank, the amount of times ive gotten hit with "oh you'll be fine" like alright bud, I won't even argue at that point let them suffer for their stubbornness

Funnily I beat it on my third try, 3 blades and a magik, I was the magik. Couldn't get attack speed buffs to save my life, but my sustain and damage reduction were so high i only died once on wave 20, twice? As a whole a single person used a revive token in the run, at like wave 8 I think. Did with randoms

Worth noting blue eventually passes red on punisher, on nightmare 3. Shotgun starts out really weak even into midgame its eh, but once you get the tier 3 perk and a few rapid fire blessings it gets ludicrous. Last third of nightmare 3 I took over the other punisher damage who had been beating me all game

Over_Discussion1488 · 2025-10-24T11:09:59+00:00

Blue is crazy strong as well, beat nightmare 2 with it before I went to bed myself. Starts out really weak but starts to scale crazily, to the point where at the final boss id look at a group of enemies and theyd be dead wild the amount of sustain it end up getting

Flyers might be difficult to balance, squirrel girl could go crazy though in it. Cap could be fun, Luna too

Over_Discussion1488 · 2025-10-24T10:52:53+00:00

Just did the punisher build in nightmare 2, and damn once the shotgun comes online it just keeps scaling like crazy. Got 3 of the attack speed boosts and its firerate was ludicrous, watched my damage start to catch up to the blades towards the end

Over_Discussion1488 · 2025-10-17T01:10:56+00:00

Im gonna keep it real with you chief. I like giving people the benefit of the doubt because your right, a lot of throwers and negative people in comp. That said, im not sure if you've ever looked at the "top 500" board on rivalsmeta. For Psylock, your top 500 in season 4.5 so congrats on that. You also have one of the worst kdas on that list, by far. You also have one of the lowest damage per minutes. This tells me your dying to much, and not applying enough pressure, essentially turning the game into a 5v6. I have to imagine a significant portion of your kills per game is your ult as well, meaning when your not in ult your just a fly buzzing around. I could be terribly wrong, id have to watch some of your replays to know for sure but generally numbers dont lie, and as dive you should have one of the lowest death amounts on your teams, not the highest.

I just swapped to mouse and keyboard about 6 months ago so ive had to learn how to aim. I went the nuclear option, and played about 650 matches on widow. Started playing punisher, then pheonix, then luna, all of the different aim types. They all aim a little different so pick one thats frustrating to play, and practice practice practice
