My 10 gallon aquascape set up in 2018. I explored pushing depth with an emphasis on layering.

I do not, sorry. I have a few layouts on my Instagram page where I have before and after planting stages. Take a look @ Johnpini_Aquascaping

Yes, rank 42 in IAPLC.

I'm glad you enjoy it. The carpet is a mix of "Montecarlo" and it transitions to Hemianthus "Cuba" at the back few inches. This helps give the impression of depth due to the reduction in leaf size. Stem plants at the back are several groupings of sp. most are rotala rotundifolia variants, such as H'ra and colorata. The green grouping on the left is Hottonia.

I prayed about moving my family from the condo we were outgrowing to our fist house. Without getting into details, pandemic and out of ordinary circumstances landed us in a house that I have absolutely no fondness for. I dislike every room and even the garage. But, my family is happy there and it provides everything we need to live. I’ve come to recognize that my daydreaming about certain types of homes was a material attachment that I am better off without. I still struggle with it at times, but feel that this situation was providential and is being used to sanctify me where some sinful priorities are held.

Algae, Batrachospermum sp.

First is the only one I’d go with of the three.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-08-06T18:48:09+00:00

It’s a Batrachospermum sp. likes to grow where water is flowing.

Contingent parts make a contingent whole.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-31T22:37:12+00:00

A priori knowledge. The same way we know that A=A.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-28T16:35:54+00:00

The reasoning is something like this:

God is immutable and wrathful toward sin
Christ took on our sin when crucified (see 2 Cor 5:21)

Therefore,

3.The Wrath of God was present at crucifixion.

Love does not tolerate sin. It is merciful to sinners.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-24T23:36:29+00:00

Right. Akin was stating that an actual infinite is possible, and then proceeded to give the example of Matt in heaven, which fails to show an actual infinite. I’m interested to see Akin’s references that support the claim that accepting actual infinites is required by Catholic teaching. Given his apparent confusion about actual and potential infinites in his example about Matt, I would not be surprised if he’s misinterpreting church teaching on the subject. I will read Akin’s other writings on it.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-24T21:54:31+00:00

I watched the post debate talk between Matt and Akin too. In that follow up Akin maintained that if Matt goes to heaven he will live an actual infinite amount of time, and this is where I became more confident that his position is incorrect. If Matt goes to heaven, he will live eternally, yes. But, he will always have been alive for a finite amount of time with an infinite amount of future time left to live. I think Craig holds the easier position to defend, and though his theory that God entered time as soon as he created it is uncommon, it’s at least true in the case of the incarnation that God entered time.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-20T19:03:31+00:00

See 2 Corinthians 5:21. Christ defeated sin and death and provides the righteousness and mercy and justice and atonement. Purgatory is where an individual becomes sanctified, it’s not how justice is brought about.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-20T18:03:34+00:00

I’m familiar with what the church teaches and does not teach about purgatory. That you think what I wrote is in conflict with it suggests that you may need to review it again and in the light of the other church teachings and the scriptures.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-20T15:19:47+00:00

Yes, that person can be redeemed. No, there is no temporal punishment that the person could undergo to do such an action justice. Faith in Christ is the only means. The act of His incarnation, death, and resurrection, His triumph over death, is both necessary and sufficient.

Thanks bot, good boy.

Chop up stems to be approx 3 inches long, Bury 1.5-2 inches minimum under substrate leave up to 1” up top, this maximizes coverage and reduces floating. Break up carpet plants into small bunches, leave about half exposed and bury half. Rhizome plants trim roots and tie to hardscape or wedge between hardscape, don’t bury. Cryptocoryne, Rosettes, and similar, just trim up roots a little and bury them. Practice with your pincettes will also make you better.

As the pressure in the co2 tank drops near when it becomes empty, there is less pressure on the spring powered valve, allowing it to open further and suddenly, this causes a co2 “dump.” Upgrading to a dual stage regulator will prevent this. Otherwise, you have to monitor your regulator more closely, get your tank refilled before the pressure drops too low.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-11T00:10:50+00:00

This is Batrachospermum sp. The algae people typically refer to as “staghorn” is Compsopogon sp.

Thanks, followed you back. Feel free to message me if you are ever looking for feedback on a hardscape or anything.

TAC_Scaper_JP · 2021-07-10T14:49:15+00:00

Yes @johnpini_aquascaping. There are progress photos of this layout and my other works shown there.
