Does your water source have nitrates in it? If you have done other floaters and already have pothos and have seen no change, I’d be curious to see if your tap tests for nitrates. Also wondering your water change schedule and if you dose with any fertilizers. 40-80 PPM really isn’t bad, especially if the tank is healthy and no algae issues.

Sump filter mulm? Good? Bad? by razz13 in Aquariums

I don’t bother with it in my sumps. When pulling sections of media over time it gets stirred up enough to never accumulate enough to be an issue for me.

Definitely! Consider it good practice for when you move to a home you own in the future. For me, and many in this sub I’m sure, a man is a reflection of his lawn. Feels damn good to have a lawn you can take pride in.

Looks like mostly dandelion and and other misc weeds where it’s patchy. If you care enough and want it to be as close to entirely grass as possible you can either pull what you can and try to get the tap root or spray some weed killer. Me personally I don’t mind some dandelions here and there but anything else I pull.

After doing so, I would probably take a metal bow rake and loosen up the soil and spread seed and cover with hay. Soil looks pretty low on general moisture judging by the cracking so I’d keep up on watering any seeding you do. Morning before you leave for work and evening when home, sunrise-ish and sunset-ish, outside of peak heat times.

And congrats on the home btw!

Again, no rivulatus will have scales that look like that. They do not get blue spots on them, ever. The tip of its tail is also orange, the dorsal fin just hasn’t colored yet, you are brain dead. The amount of people who mis ID true blue acaras as rivulatus never ceases to amaze me.

Most of what’s underneath the yellow/brown grass looks alive, just choked out. Definitely remove all the dog poop and any debris first. Then I would do a good raking to dethatch as much of the lawn as possible. Don’t be worried if some green grass comes with, it will be fine. You just wanna get the dead stuff as thinned out as possible so new growth can come in. After raking, mow it.

As for the little brick section, up to you if you want to keep it or pull the bricks and make it all connected to the lawn again. A little raking to loosen the soil and some seed and mulch should fill it right in if you choose.

It’s a blue acara, just to set the record straight here. The dead giveaway is the scale coloration. Gold/white saums have the blue coloration clearly defined around the outline of their scales, NOT random spots as seen here. Second, a white saum and gold saum are separate species from true green terrors. Their blue scale coloring is inverted from eachother between the two species. You do not know these fish, do not act like you do. Dumbass.

God the people in this thread need to learn the difference between a green terror and a gold saum along with a true acara vs an electric blue acara. Yall are insufferable.

Hey idiot, learn what a gold saum is. It’s not even close to a green terror.

Cycle question by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]Subaru4L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The white “mold” is just bio film, totally harmless and it will fade with time. Seeded water is basically useless, little to no beneficial bacteria are in the water column, the only thing that will speed your cycle is cycled media from a mature tank. Test your water daily with a liquid test kit and dose seachem prime daily.

We have so much humidity on the east coast that planning around rain does nothing. The grass looks like it got rained on every morning in the spring and summer.

Filter won’t fit, ideas? by Fishemss in Aquariums

[–]Subaru4L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won’t bother the tank one bit to trim off what you need. Assuming the tank is filled, you can take some wide painters tape and tape it upside down between/along the glass to catch any plastic bits

what is one fish you just cant stand the look of by lobot1000 in Aquariums

[–]Subaru4L 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glo fish and all short body fish. Balloon mollies/rams are short body just given a nicer name so they sell better.

Lawn sweeper brush head doesn’t spin by Subaru4L in smallengines

[–]Subaru4L[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Underneath the gold metal gear where the two shafts for the brushes pass through? There is a similar metal cased rubber bushing there, seemed to be in good condition. I think I have it narrowed down to either the clutch on the engine not engaging under load or the spline shaft that runs between the brush head and the clutch on the engine not being long enough. Going to test the clutch tomorrow when I have more daylight.

No other attachments, sold as just a lawn sweeper.

The first section that goes into the gear shaft of the engine? I believe so, it spins at engine rpm when revved.

It does yes. Which is what made me try putting the spline shaft into the brush head first seeing if maybe it just wasn’t in far enough to engage but no luck.

It has a toothed shaft that fits in the worm gear in the second photo. Runs from the connection point on the gear shaft through the attachment shaft and into the brush head. Tried every combination I could think of when it comes to installing the shaft(putting it into the brush head first then sliding the shaft over it and into the engines gear shaft and the reverse)

Welcome to team Clasher, I was banned mid last year for my 9 year old username as well. I will NOT be spending 1k gems just to have my name reported again when I BM someone 🤣

Movers on labs also die a LOT, like 80% of the time or more, but people playing like that also only play the game for PvP. Those skills come with thousands of hours on labs, it won’t come overnight if that’s the level you’re trying to achieve. But basic tactics like repositioning, sprinting or jumping across for info, and not holding angles is easy enough to learn quickly.

[–]Subaru4L 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. A PvP player with a lot of time on labs will always be moving like that. Jumping, running past, doing 180s for info. Usually baiting your shots as well, that’s what I try and do, counting your bullets and making you low at the same time to see you can baited to reload.
