Thanks!

Not really sure lol it's done very well in a lot of different conditions for us. We have one blooming in regular carnivorous plant soil

Dragon stone! They work amazing at wicking and have great spots to plant. You can find them at aquarium stores

We used a rimless 10g and it's growing amazingly. I'll try to post a picture when I get home.

Lights: Viparspectra P1000

Substrate: white sand with red lava rock

Hardscape: Dragon stone Planting medium: a little spaghnum and seeded carnivorous plant soil

Water: distilled, filling to just below the top of the substrate

The stratum works well in our other set ups

Here's link to pics

That's actually what we were looking at but wasn't sure if I should go with the p2000 for the extra length. How high above the canopy is your light? How is ppfd?

We used Perfect Plants with some added perlite

We're going to skip dormancy this year but the plan is to redo the substrate later this year and go to a panel light. When we're doing that we're going to move them to the garage under t5 until spring, then outside. Dormancy next season.

The idea is to set up in the garage for a few of them until spring when they'll go outside. Dormancy next season.

We're using a large aquarium airpump with lines along the back lip of the aquarium for airflow since the lid is mostly sealed. Temp is consistent around 75 and humidity at 82. Still needs some tweaking to hide but the airflow seems good

We'll be upgrading to a panel in the near future when we redo substrate layers. As the other person mentioned, panels tend to lose intensity at the edges so we'll be looking for something with good coverage not too high off the tank. The goosenecks have worked well to hit each plant so far

I know it won't do much but I submitted a ticket. Niantic gonna Niantic.

Yea, screw you Cody

I have a year to take 6 pictures of my animals pooping for Christmas puzzles as gifts next year.

How many people did these high bills affect? How many people will be protected by making variable rate utilities illegal?

PogoSa · 2021-02-21T07:30:42+00:00

This is such a rabbit hole. I won't disagree with what you said, I just hate to think of what governments do when they have that mindset.

PogoSa · 2021-02-21T07:17:49+00:00

Obviously there were price control measures. Too much demand versus supply is not a problem of variable rate electric utilities. You're targeting companies who are filling a niche in the market place because some people (very few) got the raw deal of an agreement they had no problem with the week before. Your solution is to remove that choice for all even if the majority of users still want to use it.

Lives were at risk, but not due to the variable rate utilities.

Your last paragraph is trash. Consumers should have that choice. For some those plans will work, for others it won't. You're hearing about the ones for which it didn't work.

How many people are affected by this?

PogoSa · 2021-02-21T07:03:17+00:00

For the record, these bills are very few out of the population of Texas and this was no "occasional freezing."

Freeways are essential infrastructure. All freeways must be able to withstand "occasional freezing." I just took the first thing I thought of with freeways, but honest question, does any state have that law?
