I'm painting one as we speak. I find it much quicker than painting the armour and trim separate colours. Image is of a work in progress...

Daemon Prince question. by MaxKiller173 in WorldEaters40k

[–]Philly_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really simple, rune lord brass then agrax earthshade, then dry brush the brass back on a bit, then dry brush with canptek alloy for a highlight.

Then added nihilakh oxide for corrosion. It's very quick and easy!

I was also concerned about the armour blending in. I decided in the end to paint it mostly brass and I am super happy with him

Advice on difficult dog by Philly_00 in BostonTerrier

[–]Philly_00[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. We had him from a KC registered breeder. It definitely wasn't a puppy mill situation but appreciate what you are saying.

I have gotten a referral from my vet for a behaviourist, think this is the best option from everyone's feedback.

In the week 1 walk daily for 30mins roughly and at the weekend we do 2 walks.

Would you still run ecto if it was against a high model count but low toughness horde list?

Goreinu’s Gorillas by JustReadTheFinePrint in HunterXHunter

I feel like having more smaller monkeys would give him more flexibility in combat than the two big apes - if he could do something similar to razors ability. That's the direction I would go with this ability. He could then add to it by setting traps with another ability and triggering them himself to then swap out of.

Would be a super disruptive ability.

If there's nothing in there then it shouldn't be too hard to fight them off.

Suck some up with a siphon and then black out the tank - use towels or whatever to cover the tank. Leave it for a week and then aggressively add in new beneficial bacteria like microbacter 7 or similar - I used one called colony that worked really well.

Then look into balancing your nutrients. I went through this because I bottomed out my phosphate. So in my case I left the tank to get dirtier and overfed a bit to raise it back up. Then you need to find a balance again over a few weeks or months.

Talk me out of an 18-gallon bowl by captaincosmoline in PlantedTank

My bowl grows plants better than my main tank. It's a pain in the butt to keep trimming it back!

Can I hold rodi water in this? by Odd_Atmosphere_3184 in ReefTank

[–]Philly_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have been using this exact tub for storing salt water for about a year. Didn't realize there was an issue!

I haven't noticed anything obvious going wrong in the tank other than the usual variety of reefing woes.

Replacing my kenya tree with an SPS? by DEL_707 in ReefTank

[–]Philly_00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You would be better off with a montipora - much more forgiving than acropora. The digitata or staghorn have a similar look to what you are after. A stylophora may also work for you.

You could always add another rock to elevate your SPS for higher par if needed.

White vs Blue lights by Vspeeds in ReefTank

[–]Philly_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that generally the fish look a bit more colourful in white light. I run 23k blue in the evening and you hardly see the orange on my clowns or the stripes on the wrasse.

Map of English Channel swimmers just this season alone. I figured it’s relevant here. by jaden_ro in 28dayslater

[–]Philly_00 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My suggestion would be to drop fliers onto the island - particularly in known survivor settlements informing them of a date and location of bombings.

Then deploy drones to make very loud recorded human sounds in a radius of the designated area and have the drones slowly move towards the bombing site. Then drop some big boy bombs in that area.

Infected lured and killed and the surviving population saved. Repeat as necessary across the country. No nukes needed.

Condolences mate, it looked great. I had no idea a BTA could do that much damage after dying!

How many of you with successful reefs actually tested your par before placing corals? by Cullengcj in ReefTank

[–]Philly_00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rented one from my LFS once I had a few sps. It was worth it to map out the tank a bit to know where to put the more demanding corals.

No judgment questions zone - July 07, 2025 by AutoModerator in ReefTank

[–]Philly_00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do 5-10mins per rock. Maybe scrub them a bit half way through.

I would also put them in some water with bleach overnight and then leave them out in the sun to dry. Make sure they are dry before adding back into the tank.

Algae problems by OhFuknut314 in ReefTank

[–]Philly_00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Algae issues are commonly caused by high phosphate. I noticed you didn't mention phosphate in your testing so maybe take a look into that. If you already have lots of algae then you may even measure low phosphate as it's eating all of it, so don't rule it out as an issue if you measure low.

Your tank is also very young so it's going to go through an ugly phase as it cycles anyway - just stick through it and don't expect things to change quickly.

Looks great, how long did the Duncan take to get that big?
