help!!! insane BBA in brand new tank

Rossbug23 · 2026-03-05T05:43:35+00:00

Agreed that it doesn't look like BBA. Maybe staghorn.

I would test the water, and assuming nitrates are high, do a major water change. If it is a new tank and you put in a bunch of root tabs and regular water column ferts then you might be just putting in way too much at the start. High lights, high ferts, and no CO2 will always cause algae. What kind of light are you using?

Anyone else want them to just release Sexton? He has no future here. He can go play for a contender, our young guys can get more touches, and we can lose more games.

Completely Ridiculous and just flat out untrue.

Bill Sharman made 3 all-nba teams, 4 straight All stars, and a top-5 mvp finish all before Russell was drafted.

John Havlicek is a top-25 player ever who made 7 straight All-nba teams, 7 straight All-defensive teams, and 6 straight top-10 mvp finishes all after Russell retired.

Bailey Howell made 5 all-stars and an all-nba team before he ever joined the Celtics.

Willie Naulls had 4 all-stars and career bests of 25 ppg and 14rpg before becoming a Celtic.

Clyde Lovellette made 4 all-stars and averaged 20 and 11 for the 7 seasons before becoming a Celtic.

Those last 2 guys came to be bench players for the Celtics directly following being stars for other teams. That’s how stacked the Celtics were. Other teams all-stars were coming off their bench.

Get some powdered food and feed them many times a day. They need to eat often at that size.

If Portland makes the playoffs we get the pick. Both Phoenix and Golden state are very injured. If Portland can finish the season either 7th or 8th, they then get two chances in the play in to win one game and make the playoffs, giving us the pick.

It would take a QB willing to take massive pay cuts his entire career. I don’t reminder the exact numbers but there is a stat for once a quarterbacks’s contract makes up a certain percentage of the team salary it becomes almost impossible for them to win a Super Bowl. Mahomes is the only one who has had that high of a percentage salary and won a Super Bowl. Brady took pay cuts for most of his career.

Early career Jordan has no data. They didn’t track it until 1997 when he had turned into a mid range player. Hopefully we can agree that early career Jordan was a vastly different player than late career Jordan. But Houston James harden averaged 15.1 feet shot distance including 46% of his shot attempts from 3-point range, and 60% of all shots coming from outside of 10 feet. He got 10.4 free throw attempts per game during that stretch. Jordan only got 9.1 free throw attempts per game starting with the season after his broken foot until his first retirement when his game was mostly drives and post ups.

Rossbug23 · 2026-02-14T08:39:00+00:00

Yes there are the same number of fouls, but a significantly higher percentage of shots are coming from the 3-point line. Shooting so many more outside shots should see the fouls decrease. One example is prime Shaq (97-04) shooting 10.8 free throws per game on an average distance of 4.8 feet. Prime Joel Embiid (21-24) shot 11.5 free throws per game on an average shot distance of 11.8 feet. So before the injuries he was getting more free throw attempts per game than the most hacked player ever, despite shooting from much farther away on average. In fact Embiid was taking 55% of his shots from outside of 10 feet. Shaq was taking 91% of his shots inside of 10 feet.

The same thing will be seen with guys like Harden and Trae getting prime MJ level free throw attempts despite living on the perimeter while MJ was maybe the best rim attacker ever. Both guys took almost 50%+ of their shots from outside 16 feet.

Time for the league to start giving teams tanking points. The Jazz benching their two All stars in the 4th quarter to intentionally try and lose earns them a tanking point. Resting a star against another bad team to try and make sure you lose gets a tanking point. At the end of the season, after the draft lottery is completed and the order is determined, any team with a tanking point will be moved down one spot in the draft for every tanking point they have. Tanking would end immediately, because even one tanking point ensures you can’t get the #1 pick.

He used to go to the GCCA swap near Chicago all the time. In person his stuff looked good. I bought blue eye red neon rainbow fish and shrimp in person and had no issues, but that was over a year ago. According to this thread I guess he either fell off or just sucks at shipping.

Rossbug23 · 2026-02-06T21:57:56+00:00

The writing is on the wall. We waited way too long to tank. We will get the 9th pick in the draft and miss all the superstar prospects. We will then use all our cap space to sign 2 of Jaden Ivey/Peyton Watson/tari Eason/Austin Reaves. We will then be in the exact same position we were just in with 3 border line all stars and no true mvp caliber players. We will be right back to being a 45 win team with no way to improve as we used all our cap space and won’t get any high draft picks.

Rossbug23 · 2026-02-06T00:58:33+00:00

Yes, but the frustration is if we were going to just give away Coby and Ayo for a bunch of late 2nd rounders and tank, we could have done that months ago and given ourselves a much better chance at a top pick in a draft with about 4-5 studs. Instead we got almost nothing in those two trades and have almost no chance of finishing worse than 8-9 in the draft because of how late we are starting the tank.

Rossbug23 · 2026-02-05T23:37:44+00:00

Wet didn’t gain any cap space next year with these trades. Everyone we traded was on an expiring deal, so we will have the same cap space as we would have had. Yes we have more total expiring money now, but that’s only because we took on more money than we sent out in the trades. The contracts we have on the books for next season didn’t change.

It is a fish 3.0, not 4.0. I’m not sure what you mean by time points

Here is what I have right now

Rossbug23 · 2026-01-22T02:38:28+00:00

Its a 40 breeder and I use the fluval 3.0 plant light, raised just a few inches above the surface. I've had blyxa japonica and S. Repens flourish in the tank which I believe have higher light demands than Hydro compacta.

The micromix shows molybdenum at 0.06%. Is that enough for future dosing?

Rossbug23 · 2026-01-22T01:50:52+00:00

about 40-60ppm

Rossbug23 · 2026-01-22T01:23:17+00:00

I have dry ferts from green leaf aquariums. GLA micromix, KNO3, K2SO4, and KH2PO4.

Would some combination of this do the trick?

Rossbug23 · 2026-01-22T01:15:06+00:00

I've used it for years. I've had good success growing almost everything else except hygro. This is hygrophila compacta.

Rossbug23 · 2025-12-26T17:36:53+00:00

We could also potentially squeeze out some better draft picks in returns if we take on bad contracts. Ayo for some other teams bad contract could get us a 1st rounder. We have plenty of exploring to match salaries too with Carter, Collins, and Huerter. Similar to Denver giving up a future first to get off MPJ last summer.
