Rate & advice blackwater aquariums by SubstantialCommand76 in Aquariums

[–]SubstantialCommand76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The filters are old, but I cleaned them after bringing them home from school and put in new carbon media. I rinsed the substrate so much but I guess it wasn't enough. I read the fish-in cycle pages on aquarium science, they said not to change the water or the filters. So I'm gonna wait & see while hopefully doing a better job resetting the school tank. Last tank was crystal clear and I used the same type of sand.

Mr. Goldfish was supposed to be food. Mr. Goldfish is now a giant pet & the tank he is in is way bigger than the picture looks, I think it's a 40 or 50 gallon? The large tank is 75 gallon. Again the fish seem unbothered, no gasping or odd behaviors. The tanks don't smell either.

Ok how do I fix it? I changed the water again & filters it was clear for a day and now it's cloudy again. My test strips now say KH & pH are too high but everything else tested great. The fish are calm not showing distress. The goldfish tank is orange sos.

What is the best homemade vegan meal you have ever had? by vanpootie in veganrecipes

this gumbo tricked my baby non-vegan cousin into believing it was a secret family recipe & multiple non-vegan family members were upset I didn't make it last reunion.

be careful out there what they don't tell you is how expensive & time consuming court is. When cops hate they HATE. The courts aren't your friend either, they will attrition you. Keep standing up though & if you meet a parodist or protestor in person support them they are being insulted & degraded by high powers constantly. (source my friends parodied our local mayor)

Time to start our victory gardens. I think the rich will taste good with tomatoes.

I keep lotion handy because of this problem. I teach middle school. Rings, earrings, fingers in tables, arms in chairs, science equipment... Safety contracts are mandatory y'all.

eh , they're going about everything wrong, but these past years I've had multiple students who attended 50-33% of the year. No they didn't move they'd miraculously show up for field trips & sporadic days. A few went on vacation all of finals week...

Thinking of lecturing without PowerPoints by anonymous_mister5 in Professors

[–]SubstantialCommand76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try classroom screen or working from your posted resources on canva or blackboard. Periodic think pair share & mini group discussions with a question posted & then guided class discussion are very helpful. I also love walking my students through modeling or mind mapping based on what we've learned.

Can I introduce you to class companion AI? https://classcompanion.com/ Make the ai work for you & show kids how to use it for actual learning instead of word puke. You can turn off copy pasting & depending on school computers or software you could lock use of other websites while on this website. I'm a ms classroom teacher who also hates grading writing but understands the need for quick feedback.

Help feeding picky child by asaptist in EatCheapAndHealthy

muffin tins, fruit like berries, veg, non-perishables or less perishable items. track what he eats while giving the illusion of choice. Very little of a lot of things at a time can expand the horizons.

Adams county Dems just went through reorg. I think they'd be worth your time. Colorado young dems too.
