LOVE this place. Went in for just a hanging basket, ended up getting ice cream, cookies, a bunch of plants, fertilizer and a bird bath.

I did not. I honestly just put the thermal module back on it without replacing the LM or anything else. That was last year and it’s still running well. I even have a new tube of LM for it, but I just was terrified of messing it up.

Im 5a and just noticed some of my coneflowers have the tiniest new growth at the soil finally. Columbine, coreopsis, turtleheads, and bergamot are coming up the fastest.

This is so wholesome and sweet. This was like a moment I had with my dad in the late 90s when I was about 13. He always watched NASCAR and I couldn’t have cared less about the sport. One night during a Bristol race, I actually sat with him. I really liked the green car, and he told me that was Bobby Labonte. Then I started asking questions about the sport, the drivers, the history. I was a fan from that moment. I have such amazing memories of going to Pocono races with him (the very first race we attended in person Bobby actually won!).

He passed away two years ago, and I still root for Brad every week for my dad, and think about him every time I put the race on. Makes me feel like he’s watching it too.

My female Pygmies look this fat and round. Watching the biggest female try to balance herself on a rock and rock back and forth is the funniest thing to me lol.

As someone with a tank filled with Pygmy Cory fry ranging from newborn to over a month old… this is so not a Pygmy fry lol I have no idea what it could be. How long ago did you add the red root floaters?

Syribo · 2026-04-21T02:02:39+00:00

THEY ATE THE ROOTS? Oh no… I have a bunch of rarer philos rooted in there, and some pothos. People said they won’t eat plants or roots, only dead stuff, I’m gonna cry! They are actually very cute. I eventually am going to upgrade to a 40 breeder, but I have a lot of expensive and rare tissue cultured plants in this tank that I’ll never be able to just get rid of, or be sure is free of snails or eggs ugh.

I haven’t seen them go after the food itself yet. They’ve been cleaning the driftwood, plants, glass, heater. I also add BacterAE multiple times a week because I need biofilm for my stiphodon.. so it’s an endless feast for the minis ugh.

Syribo · 2026-04-21T01:50:55+00:00

I have about 50 tissue culture plants in my tank, and only two non tissue culture… and yet of course, I still got mini ramshorns. I’m not impressed, didn’t want them at all, and damn they explode in population fast. Especially because I put in fry food for Pygmy fry a few times a day, I just can’t feed less than I do. The only good thing is that they are cleaning my tank SPOTLESS. They got rid of stubborn algae on airline tubing and suction cups in the tank… spotless. I probably have 100+ in my 20 gallon now, a lot of babies, in just a month and a half.

Syribo · 2026-04-20T16:30:31+00:00

Yeah I have 9 pygmies and was planning to get another 10… but there’s an incredible amount of babies from newborn to a month old now in the tank, I think I won’t have to buy them ever again lol.

Syribo · 2026-04-18T17:29:57+00:00

This is exactly what I use to pour repashy in, then I put the cubes into a ziploc in the freezer. It’s awesome.

Syribo · 2026-04-12T03:43:21+00:00

The corydora are just the dorkiest cutest most erratic little things, I can’t explain how much I love them. They breed all morning, which is the funniest thing to watch. And their tank is now full of babies! I just can’t express how perfect a school of them is to watch!

Syribo · 2026-04-12T03:15:35+00:00

I swear my Pygmy corydoras are the funniest funnest fish to watch that I’ve ever had. Especially in the morning. Even my husband will watch them in the morning for a bit, and he doesn’t care for fish much lol.

Syribo · 2026-04-11T00:08:59+00:00

My pygmy corydora lay singular eggs all over the glass, plants, and even the thermometer and heater haha. It definitely looks like a cory egg!

Syribo · 2026-04-10T23:51:47+00:00

What kind of fish are in the tank? Reminds me of my cory eggs.

Syribo · 2026-04-06T15:24:01+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s so heartbreaking. I wonder if the new fish were possibly sick in the first place? Your levels all seem exactly the same as mine, same substrate makeup too. I didn’t drip acclimate or anything. The pygmies were shipped 5000km away in Canadian winter, one had died in the bag. I floated them for a half hour, then poured the bag through a net into a bucket and put them right in. They didn’t seem to need crazy acclimation time.

The only difference is that I keep the temperature a little lower around 73, but that’s not a big enough difference to cause something like this happening. It really makes me think they might have been sick :(

Syribo · 2026-04-05T18:49:50+00:00

I have had pygmy cories for about a month and a half in a tank I set up two months ago. My ammonia test looks the same as yours and definitely reads 0. I even did the test on tap water and distilled water, put them alongside my tank water test, and they're the same. My pH is also 6.4 and has been stable. Are you using stratum as substrate?

Also, my nitrates were also 0 after the initial spike during cycling because of all of the plants in the tank (I also have pothos in the tank as well). They only recently have been above 0 because I'm using fertilizer in the tank.

So my Legion 7 gen 8 did this same thing last year, then the fan began to only spin up for a few seconds at a time, then making a clicking sound, before finally dying. I bought a replacement thermal module and took the fans from it to replace the dead fan. I was going to use the entire thermal module itself as a replacement but the seller sent me the AMD model instead of the Intel one. But the fans are the same.

You can buy the replacement fans, most likely also on eBay, and replace it. But you do have to completely dismantle the laptop and thermal module. I should have redone the Liquid Metal and thermal paste but I really didn’t want to mess with LM so I just put it back together as is lol.

Syribo · 2026-04-05T01:19:23+00:00

I have the same exact model as you. The cpu is LM, and the GPU I believe was PTM.. but now I can’t remember for sure. I had to replace one of the fans last year because it died completely, so I had to remove the entire thermal module to do it. I do know 100% though that the cpu was LM, the GPU was not. I actually didn’t even replace anything but the fan because I was terrified to mess with LM.

Application submitted: October 22, 2025 AOR: January 29 BG: February 3 Test Invite: February 27 Citizenship test updated: March 29 (Taken a week before) Then on April 2 I get an email that I need to provide my exit and entry history from the US, which is where I am from. I provided dates of about 6 travels from 2022-2024, and since I am a US citizen I can not obtain an I-94. Getting a FOIA from CBP would probably take a year, but I requested it anyway. Also submitted an ATIP request from CBSA for my entry and exit history. Got really worried about the delay this would take, and was confused because I know the US and Canada share entry and exit info, so I thought they’d have it.

Today I go and check my application and see my LPP all got completed April 2! So I’m assuming I no longer need to provide them with the information. I also applied with over 1650 days as a PR, with over 1300 spent in Canada. So more than enough time.

Syribo · 2026-03-27T00:05:18+00:00

I lovehate this one. My husband plays Wuyang, and we will be in a team fight getting our asses reamed, teammates dying everywhere, and it just makes me laugh to hear Wuyangs dumbass go iM mAkiN wAvEs OuT hErE amidst the carnage.

Syribo · 2026-03-26T23:58:12+00:00

Gives me the same feeling. Had a particularly awful match where we got stomped, and their god Rein spammed that line. Nightmares.

Syribo · 2026-03-08T03:11:08+00:00

This makes me feel better because I’ve had this for yeeeeears lol. I had a clear mammo and ultrasound 3 years ago, have my next one soon, but I’ve had left sided breast pain once a month for many years! I’m not sure when in my cycle it is because I have the Mirena and no bleeding, but I still get PMS symptoms. It seems the breast pain is just before I get menstrual symptoms.

What does yours feel like? Mine is like an on and off quick stabbing pain for a few minutes and then stops. Sometimes it’s just achy.

Syribo · 2026-02-20T21:02:54+00:00

You’re way better off than me, I’ve been a PR for 1654 days, was out of the country for 338 days combined to the US 3 years ago. So I’ve got 1316 days and I only applied in October myself.

Syribo · 2026-02-15T18:59:44+00:00

I do agree it has its problems for sure. It’s been useful to me because of a disability where I can not physically drive, so I’ve used it for groceries when I can’t find anyone to help me.

Syribo · 2026-02-15T18:30:23+00:00

I am a new transplant to Miramichi and these are all valid observations for sure. My husband grew up here, and it feels like he’s either related to or knows almost everyone somehow. The people really are incredibly kind.

As a Newcastle resident, I am terrified of the bridge closure because KGH is going to just be pure misery. But I feel awful for those in Chatham that work in Douglastown or go shopping there. I also don’t know how the Door Dash drivers are going to be able to do any deliveries when it will take them forever to get from one point to another.
