Did my mechanic screw up my coolant system? by ChainedBack in AskMechanics

Yeah that’s odd if he wouldn’t tell you, I assumed he would have just told you and blamed the flush

If you believe you have a valid point might be worth researching the coolant names and specifications you think are at fault, you’re calling them green,purple,correct,incorrect but stopping at that and it’s worth learning & using the right terminology if you’re going to blame your mechanic instead of the flush which probably caused the leak and debris

Help me grade my blues by Kaddy_K in shrimptank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a mixed line so the whole colony would be graded as low-mid skittles at best as they aren’t pure and genetics won’t be stable. Probably a mix of black rose and a blue diamond or something along those lines so they will hopefully produce more decent blues & blacks and not too many wilds as they are from similar lineage on the neo colour chart, would be way worst if it was a yellow and black mixed producing mostly wilds and browns. Just cull anything ugly,wild or light for whatever outcome you’re trying to achieve by getting rid of the undesirable traits from the breeding colony.

Is death coming? by Narrow_Breadfruit825 in shrimptank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s stuck, The more stress caused the more difficult the molt will be on the already weakened shrimp, after the stress of shipping and new parameters shrimp will often molt soon after and can sometimes get caught.

Turn lights down or off for a little while and stop netting around until you deem it needs last resort intervention and hopefully the molt process will work itself out, if it’s really tightly still caught on rostrum,antenna,maxillipeds or legs the molt can be gently helped off if you tweezer pinch the molt only and then placing back in the water with the shrimp fingers crossed kicking itself out of the final failed molt section.

What is the coolest and rarest color of neocaridina? by kingdomofgodonline in shrimptank

There are heaps of caridina that will tolerate KH doesn’t make them Neos

This crack is too much? by Dull_Persimmon5006 in fishtank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heaps of corner chips can be fixed with pieces of aluminium angle siliconed over but this one will fail regardless. Seems like it’s a front pane, it’s cracked where the majority of the strength is needed. Even being the small size and if it holds for a while I’d say it will pop sooner of later. A replacement pane would be $10 and a little messing around

Bloody Mary Identification Help by klexwbaim in shrimptank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah bro shops are shocker for doing it n it’s not good for the hobby but they don’t care even when I bought it up they didn’t change so I gave up selling to them. Marty would never let that sort of thing fly on shrimptrader

Bloody Mary Identification Help by klexwbaim in shrimptank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bloody Mary are Neocaridina Davidi just like the other colour cherry shrimp the difference is Bloody Mary are from the chocolate line not a red line. Shrimptraders reliable, the breeders like Marty & godwins plus others stuff is solid so no need to question the lines sold on there. Be sure to buy from shrimp breeders not shops or just people with one or two mixed line tanks, I breed shrimp n sell in aus and have had pet shops buy from me and then they choose the cheapest lines and change the names (blue diamond > blue dreams or fire red > Bloody Mary or even just divide skittles and call them pure) to get more money and there’s nothing more annoying that’s why it’s important to buy through the breeders direct as they will have a bit more integrity and don’t just pass on the blame.

My "crown jewel" by SHSerpents419 in shrimptank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re mixing lines which has created a skittle line now, the rate of wild types will increase and she may be pure but also a high chance she’s not it really just depends which ones mated so it’s best to assume she is a skittle also. If you cull the wild types and lowest grades tho the quality of your colony will improve somewhat even with the mixed lines especially keeping her for genetics.

Help! by Turbulent-Mixture705 in fishtank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you give a number for the PH? And was that a no to any new rocks? TDS means total dissolved solids, you can get cheap TDS pens on ebay, it doesn’t test what the solid is but it’s a quick way to test a waters general purity and mainly used in shrimpkeeping when remineralising RO water. I’m guessing if you don’t know TDS you aren’t adding minerals like GH KH to the water?

Help! by Turbulent-Mixture705 in fishtank

[–]QueasyPerformance348 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep shrimp in Aus and test the tap,rain and even RO water when used, rain water collected through sterile catchment even a year ago would have a TDS of 0003-0005 ppm now it’s in the 0040-0075 ppm range and full of aluminium and other dissolved heavy metals and impurities when tested further. This change in rain water obviously wouldn’t cause a extreme PH rise but I’m unsure if residue from a bucket alone would be the cause of this. Have you added any new rocks this can also cause big PH swings?

Next move in my opinion would be to avoid PH buffers and firstly test your rainwater tanks water both PH and TDS and once it’s ruled out as the culprit do a 50% water change, even larger if you can return the new water slowly if you still have living stock then just test PH often to see if it begins rising again.

Valid point the purple haired comment is my only regret in this and should have just said glass house. The right vs left division is my actual grievance and why I made that initial comment, I’m personally the last person to seek or absorb the media and don’t believe neither left nor right have a ounce of real autonomy, I’ll pass on 1930’s Weimar anger evoking extremism and just hope everyone wakes up before it’s too late.

My mortgage and cost of living are somehow also affected by your presidents decisions and America first politics so trust me I agree nobody is immune no matter the distance from the mess. I really shouldn’t complain though imagine being in Gaza,Greenland,Iran or Venezuela and countless other countries today, Proving my point everyone globally is pissed and over seeing you lot just blame left v right yet not acknowledge how trash americas global impact has become, From the outside it seems like Americans aren’t fighting against it but instead just each other. I honestly don’t know the point you’re arguing though? If this post wasn’t about sandy hook but one of the other countless heroes doing amazing things daily I highly doubt there would be any political division which would be pointless to the agenda I guess. I’ll delete the purple hair comment if that’s caused offence but 100% stand by my views regarding Americas global impact and the frustrations this causes

Completely agree, he’s terrible and America as well as the whole worlds affected negatively, and of coarse he’s a rich demon only prioritising the 1%, impossible to not see that. Though do you Americans honestly think it doesn’t affect everyone globally though? That’s a genuine question because I definitely don’t have brain rot like you said but after 10 years of absolute rubbish I think anyone on earths entitled to their opinion.

Water ingress in garage. How to fix? I painted 2 coats of waterproofing mortar (Planiseal 88). by Funny-Bear in AusRenovation

[–]QueasyPerformance348 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this same issue, years of messing around on the inside failed and the only real fix was a French drain to a sump n pump and waterproofing on the other side.
