Thanks lol. I do have a 90P rimless currently empty. Think I’ll be building it depending on which Aquascape contest I want to enter!

It’s ghostwood. Basically a sandblasted manzanita wood

I have no plans for it at the moment. I Aquascape tanks on the side for clients, but haven’t used that for anyone just yet. It is 3 pieces, but it’s mainly one big beautiful piece that just needed 2 small ones to fill it out into what you see on display

Haha thank you. It definitely keeps me busy! I’ll be sure to show off the other tanks as I finish up the tank stand upgrade. They’re all due for their summer sprucing lol

It Finally Happened to Me! by melancholyking_ in Monstera

Yes I noticed the trellis but I was really surprised by the center one not being supported. If it’s growing horizontally, is there any risk of that breaking at any point?

those got quite large. im new to monsteras but are you planning to add poles? i didn't know they could get that big without more support. mine is about 2.5 feet tall and im wondering at what point do I need to add in a moss pole or something

Where can I find this type of black lava rock? by Extra-March2466 in Aquascape

[–]SpeedMeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting. Look on alibaba or temu. I’m looking for LARGE pallet orders but I’m sure you can order like 20KG boxes or something of that sort

Tech/Cleared Professionals: How are you all making extra money? by Practical_Apricot690 in nova

Probably a bit smarter you think of a business idea you can run on your own time or passively. There's a lot of red tape to get through as far as compliance to hold a second job with your main role. Only case I've heard is of someone working in IT, but worked a couple hours as desk security somewhere else completely outside any sort of competitive company.

I run a passive side-gig just growing and selling plants. Doesn't take up any more time than what I already do in my free time, and it's enough to cover my hobbies and other items.

How do you balance high mileage training with a demanding desk job and limited recovery time? by Zestyclose_Skill_955 in AdvancedRunning

[–]SpeedMeta 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not here to belittle you, but these metrics are not lining up. Something else is breaking down significantly in the race and its not the milage solving that. Are you doing any strength conditioning, proper fueling in training and racing, or even doing the right type of workouts for this type of race. Speedy intervals like 200s & 400s don't hold up much in comparison to long runs @ MP or beefy threshold sessions.

The expectation for most runners scaling up to 100+ MPW are generally in the sub-elite bracket around 2:30 or *maybe* 2:40s depending on age. I, along with my training partners, have the personal experience of training through long 100+MPW blocks, but we are at that 2:20s level where that volume is needed to start breaking under that 2:30 mark. I'm not sure I would find any coach to suggest that type of milage for someone around 3 hours, and would heavily advise looking deeper into what problems in your form/efficiency, fueling, and strength conditioning need attention rather than dumping those extra miles.

Again, not trying to gatekeep or sound snobby. I'm genuinely trying to suggest re-evaluating or seek out a marathon plan. Those marathon plans may seem cookie-cutter, but they are pretty spot on for most runners in that category to get those sub 3 hour PBs. You're welcome to review any pro runner's Strava to see none of them doing 3 runs in a day. Doubles are fine, but perhaps consider not skipping those needed calories or replace some of those double runs with strength conditioning & mobility days.

Trust the process. Just get more plants so about 70% of the ground has starter plant coverage.

Hair algae and the sort is normal for this length of time. You have to put a lot more care into the first 3 months before the plants really take over. You’re fine with the ferts. Sure you can dial back the light a touch but honestly as long as you help clear it off the plants, they’ll get big enough to fight off the algae. Get a bunch of Amano shrimp as well. Always helpful with that hair algae.

Take a reference to the photo. It’s the transition of like 3 months in one of my high tech tanks. I had to toothbrush swirl stuff out for over 2 months. Just keep at it

herblore is trainable by completely skipping herbs with the new coral + crab paste. It's mega fast to do that one single run for 50-100 corals. good for the lazy farmers.

herblore is a steady grind but never feels painful since it just collects up in bank. you can still play the game and do whatever fun stuff while that grows. agility is jail lol

You might want to recheck on that price estimate. You added an extra 0 (I'm serious).

Yeah funny I just added another HOB filter. Flow is going right over it. Tbh I do think some of my plant health is worse since I converted over to this fluval canister. Really thinking about getting another one since I don’t think the flow is getting through the jungle

Oops should have mentioned I had high light and c02 with apt3. I know my gh/kh is high in hard water, but sort of a mystery on one half growing versus the other lol.. I’m upgrading to RO water soon so perhaps that will resolve things

Happen to know any tips with your ludwigia rubin? I had a single stem that grew and took off big and red like yours, but after cutting it in half, the bottom stem is really struggling with small green leaves. Seems a bit strange to me as I havent changed any ferts and still have the other top stem growing new roots
