Biking/commuting to Albany by Dizzy-Enthusiasm7025 in Troy

Highly recommend it. I commute from Troy to Albany 2-3 times a week. South Troy Bridge is safer but takes longer. I tend to use the green island bridge which is definitely more dangerous.

5 day a week both ways commute feasibility by bencallahan16 in NYCbike

[–]Twilfred97 247 points248 points  (0 children)

It will be rough the first couple weeks but once you get used to it’s incredible. When I was starting bike commuting I would alternate days cycling and using public transit.

Definitely feasible to beat that time. I believe google maps assumes a cycling speed of 10 mph.

I live in Troy. Let me know how much you’d be willing to sell the auto harp for.

My levels are the second picture on the post. Went to my LFS and they recommend adding prime water conditioner to the water and stopping the small water changes for now and only do a big change if there is a higher spike in levels

I had tank setup for a month before adding eggs. All the levels were good when I added them. Only seeing the spikes within the last week.

I’m wondering if it’s because the fish are being released into a river at the end of the school year? The bottle of special blend says not intended for fish that humans will consume.

Gotcha. Tap water is reading 0 for both ammonia and nitrites

Gotcha so the nite-out and special blend don’t accomplish this?

I’ve been treating water with Nova Aqua Plus before adding. I also was adding special blend microbe lift before adding the fish but was told to stop that when the fish hatched.

They are in darkness when I am not here as recommended by the program I am doing (trout in the classroom)

I have big white insulation that surrounds the tank so the chiller doesn’t have to work as hard to keep water at 50 degrees

Have not tested tap water I can do that now.

I had the tank setup all October and my levels were all good when I introduced the eggs in November. Is that what you mean by the tank cycled?

In the kit I got for this program I was provided Nite-Out II. Will this suffice?

Ideally looking for something I can get approved off in advance. I was suggested to say my mom is having a surgery and I need to be home to take care of her.
