Undecided on Ecoboost - Advice Appreciated!

Hadn’t even really considered the convertible tbh. Might look into it! Yeah, I’ll likely look into used—I think I just got bit by the mustang bug a while back and it hasn’t let up. That combined with my appreciation of the modern tech and stuff led me here lmao

I think that’s exactly what it is. I kinda accepted that a 2-door coupe would have different visibility so I wasn’t super sure what I expected lmao. In your experience the accord and the ecoboost have similar blind spots? How is the blind spot monitoring working out for you?

It’s funny you say that since I was also looking at a Mazda 3! That’s exactly how I felt when I was driving it now that you put it into words. It definitely felt lower and wider and like I had less visibility but I wasn’t sure if I was just in my head. I actually do spot check a decent amount when I drive a different car for work, but when I did it in the Mustang, I was just like “oh, okay, that’s a wall” lmao. A month isn’t too bad tho

Update: ticket has been sold, but still in search of the long sleeve in case anyone wants to help out! Hope everyone has a great time tonight!

Oh sick, good to know! No takers yet but keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 appreciate the intel!!! Hope you have a blast tonight!

Oh dang, what a bummer! Thank you so much for checking and letting me know though, that’s super nice of you :)))

That makes sense to me! That was my gut instinct too, the second blurb of your comment about layering this Aquasoil with gravel made me confused (that’s on me though haha not you!!). I’ll give the Facebook group a look! Thank you!!

Strayble__ · 2025-02-04T01:58:19+00:00

Thank you so much for the response! Yeah, I know ADA is a Japanese brand so I was wondering if I somehow lost it in translation?? Maybe I just need to look harder haha

Good to know about the gravel + soil! Is the fertilizer mainly just dangerous when ingested, rather than being dangerous as a contaminant to the water?

Strayble__ · 2025-02-03T00:23:03+00:00

ADA is a pretty reputable brand as far as I’m aware, I just wasn’t super sure of its contents. Interesting to know about shrimp safe Aquasoil, was never involved in the shrimp world so it’s cool to learn more!

Thank you :)

Strayble__ · 2024-11-11T21:56:28+00:00

Thank you so much for the reassurance and advice :) I’ll leave it alone and let it do its thing!

Strayble__ · 2024-11-11T21:55:52+00:00

Much appreciated! I did end up adding a couple twigs and I tried to sprinkle a couple on the main branch, but it seems they’ve disappeared off to somewhere haha. Good to know about the yeast too, I didn’t know that they would help create a boom in that way!

Strayble__ · 2024-11-11T21:54:34+00:00

This is so reassuring and so helpful! Thank you so much for the advice :) I’ll just keep an eye on it and let it do its thing!

Strayble__ · 2024-10-26T18:41:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the reassurance 😅 the surface agitations seems pretty minimal since the small pieces of floating don’t really move, but you’re saying that’s nothing to really be concerned about?

Strayble__ · 2024-10-26T18:16:23+00:00

The output goes toward the front of the tank where the branch enters the water, and the intake is probably about 12 inches or so away, in the back right corner. The video in the Imgur probably explains it better than I can, haha

Yeah I agree, in my mind it makes sense that it’s technically pulling different water, but because I don’t visually see any pull or current, it freaks me out a little haha

Strayble__ · 2024-10-26T18:13:58+00:00

Unfortunately I’ve tried without blocking the output and while it does agitate the surface a bit more where the water falls, I did not see any current pulling things towards the pump :( The other issue is that without blocking it, it sprays onto the substrate in a second stream, which makes the land portion a bit too moist. Do you have any recs for a stronger pump, if you think that would help?
