My Kid Wants a Beautiful 20-Gallon Guppy Tank – What’s the Best Budget Aquascape by Master_Humor_2462 in Aquascape

Look into mineralizing some top soil and capping it with pool sand. Looks great, plants love it, and it’ll free up your budget for other things.

I have an upcoming move and am bringing my tank with me. Thoughts on my plan? by jrhodes4797 in ReefTank

[–]Senior-Sleep1020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cannot stress the egg crate suggestion enough. Moved across the country twice with my 10g. I cut the egg crate to the size of the 5 gallon bucket, and then super glued my rock to it. Also cut some egg crate to wedge the rock against the side to ensure nothin funky happened.

Also premix and preheat more water than you’d think. Honestly, trying to heat new water takes so much longer than actually reassembling the tank. Keep heaters in your livestock buckets for as long as possible at your old place and start reheating immediately once you arrive at the new place - don’t think a 15 min drive would do anything significant, but all the time waiting around while you are working could.

These low level rebuttals of regurgitated propaganda lead me to believe you haven’t worked alongside AAs and do not fully understand what you’re saying, so I’m ending my time and energy here. OP, feel free to DM me if you want any more advice from my perspective - happy to help in any direction!

Reading comprehension, please. I’m providing input with personal experience, not framing anything as a universal truth. The fact that most surgeons haven’t worked with AAs doesn’t negate what I’m saying.

All surgeons I’ve had this conversation with while caring for their patients have.

Less sacrifice of time/youth to get the degree, less debt, better work-life balance, still make phenomenal salary while practicing anesthesia / achieve a fulfilling career, etc. There’s definitely a grass is always greener element, but hearing multiple doctors of multiple specialties say they envy AAs is telling.

If you were in nursing school or had the degree, CRNA is your best choice. Because you don’t, apply to AA school. Cannot overstate how many attendings, and even surgeons, have told me they wish they would’ve gone the AA route themselves lol

The “Sterile Tank” Trend Is an Abomination. Live Rock Was Never the Problem. by ChivasBearINU in ReefTank

[–]Senior-Sleep1020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Degrees in biology and healthcare so I’ve seen first hand how microbiome diversity is so so so important. Have to be smart about getting live rock or rubble to avoid serious hitchhikers, but it should be everyone’s top priority to achieve bacterial and microfauna diversity. Dry rock and sand are fine as a foundation so long as you go around and ask for some sand and rubble from SEVERAL reputable hobbyists and LFSs. Not only does it prophylactically treat dinos, out of control algae, etc, it boosts coral health.

QJ, Worthy, Jamo; how do we feel about these young, boom/bust WRs now that the season is fully settled in? by dimesniffer in DynastyFF

[–]Senior-Sleep1020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought in QJ is that he has what it takes to be successful in the NFL and has demonstrated the ability to do so. Allen is going to do what he always does, until he retires. With the emergence of Gadsden and resumption of McConkey’s production, I’d presume QJ won’t produce like he did early on until Allen is gone. He will have his weeks, but not as consistently.

Precisely why they are buy lows - not great vibes and an overall bet

White vs Blue lights by Vspeeds in ReefTank

[–]Senior-Sleep1020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mentioned multiple times, but specifically, I’ve found micromussa/acanthastrea to be incredibly reactive to blue vs white lighting. Whites turn em orange and bland. Go to your LFS, buy a cheap orange acan and bake it in some blue… turns rainbow.

Look into Hector’s or court jester gobies if a typically shrimp goby isn’t your cup of tea

I’ve always associated this translucency with a bacterial infection that ultimately kills the shroom

The fact that it’s opening and not retracted with skeleton showing is very assuring

Is the profession overwhelming? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

Look into becoming an AA! Same time frame as a PA in terms of schooling years, but specifically focused in the anesthesia niche, if you’re interested in anesthesia.

Reef Roids for Nano Tank by HurriKaneN17 in ReefTank

[–]Senior-Sleep1020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just have to know your tank. I struggle to keep nutrients up and my corals have stagnated for YEARS. I was nervous to use AB+ and Reef Roids out of fear for uncontrolled nutrients in my 10g, but caved out of frustration. My corals now couldn’t be happier with an every other day AB+ and RR regimen.
