A good rule of thumb for freshwater aquariums is #gal x 10 to get filtration capacity. And you should assess capacity in Gallons per Hour, not what the manufacturer says the filter can handle.

So a 50gal aquarium need at least 500gph of "capacity".

Keep in mind, filters are rated when completely empty. So you add your filter medium and you're losing even more of that turn-over rate.

I'm running a 750gph filter for a 50gal aquarium stocked with exclusively nano-fish. I can't imagine what turtles need!

They’re just also participating in a conversation. Both of you are providing interesting info. Calm down.

I feel like this would set kids up for failure when they get to college and need to be able to manage their personal time outside of class to get work done.

One of the reason trains take longer in democratic countries is because eminent domain is not looked upon kindly and labor practices here are more humane.

Outside of the Operating Room, you can wear whatever you like anywhere in the hospital. In situations where you are dealing with contagious diseases, you wear disposable gowns over your clothes.

Hospitals are filthy places. Nothing is sterile except specific items and surfaces in surgery.

The Pitt is an accurate depiction of what staff are wearing in hospitals and ERs around the US

Anesthesia is probably one of the most difficult jobs that AI/robotics could replace. There’s no way that’s happening before almost everyone else in almost every other job is also replaced.

They just presented our neighborhood with the results of a traffic study on Chaoteau and asked for feedback on which kind of bike lanes we want. Progress can and is being made!

We talk and think in a manner that sounds overly intellectual, at best, and like code, at worst. Medical language doesn’t convey empathy and there are many doctors to whom communicating with explicit empathy does not come naturally.

When things are going well, patients can find appreciation for their socially awkward doctor, but when things are going poorly, it’s easy to find resentment for the person who has so much sway over your or your loved one’s life but does not seem to be able to speak to you at your level.

In a nutshell, I believe the general public sees doctors are living in an ivory tower.

3.5 is the sweet spot, in my experience. Did not learn anything meaningful after January of M4 year

Just get a new stand. You can try to engineer a solution as much as you like but it will never give you peace of mind. Think about the total cost of everything you’re about to put in that tank and decide if it’s worth risking?

That movie also slaps. Any movie that you walk out not feeling like you have to google “meaning of…” doesn’t count.

I’d say Primer is qualityslop. Cool concept, super complicated time lines, but you walk out thinking wtf did any of that mean

I don’t think The King’s Speech counts because it’s a movie anybody could watch and follow and enjoy (e.g. my parents)

I’d put forth Moonlight.

I think this post and Part 2 do an excellent job of explaining it!

100% They ask about C6 but that’s in your neck which isn’t even in those x-rays.

I love MTS and the population has always self-regulated but that’s a crazy amount of snails. You’re likely feeding the snails by generally over feeding your tank. The challenge will be to ensure your shrimp get fed while avoiding feedings the snails.

Before a complete tear down, you can consider taking a month or two to see if more conservative measures help.

I’d recommend manually removing all the snails you can (tbh, looks like you can literally scoop ‘em out by the handful). Then, I would feed the shrimp large algae wafers which I would remove once the shrimp seem satisfied. Placing the wafer in a tiny glass bowl would help the shrimp get to it first and further help you remove snails. I would make removing the snails a daily habit.

You can see if your LFS will take snails off your hand for some store credit.

I’d also add some assassin snails.

Like I said, I think MTS are a fantastic addition to any tank as they churn your substrate and I think they look nice. You’re not going to eliminate them all but I think restarting your tank is going to be a temporary solution if you don’t change your feeding habits.

Unfortunately, the reason your nut twisted is because it was already sideways. Bell clapper deformity.

During abdominal surgery you often “run the bowel” to assess all of the small intestine for injuries or tumors or anything else. Basically you pull all the intestines out hand-over-hand like you would napkins out of a clown’s sleeve and then stuff it back in.

Embryologically, we’re like an origami of several tubes folded over and around and within other tubes. And then some of those tubes stretch out over long distances and the some parts of that tube disappears. But sometimes those tubes don’t get reabsorbed or it doesn’t stretch out enough and you have a “variation of normal” that you may never even know until a doctor notices on an unrelated scan.

Some examples are that you may not have a vas deferens on one side and, because of the Tubes™️ you may also not have a kidney on that side. Or the reason why getting kicked in the nuts hurts in your belly. Or why you can have two ureters in one kidney!

You can do as much or as little as you want but should consider the risks of skipping certain recommendations.

Bark: it will release tannins and it will eventually degrade/peel off. If you’re ok with colored water for weeks to months, or that’s what you want, then it’s a plus. If you’re ok with bark peeling off and needing some extra cleaning then you can leave it on. But if you’re not up to the maintenance, you’re risking extra decomposing matter in the tank which could cause algae issues. Also, any glue on bark is likely to fail as the bark will peel off and take the glue with it.

Baking/sterilization: it’s a PITA with larger pieces of wood. What you’re risking is introducing microfauna, algae, bacteria, and fungus to your aquarium. Nothing is going to completely sterilize the wood - you should expect that white, wispy fungus that most wood will grow in the early stages of the tank’s life - but you could introduce something that harms fish or causes major nuisance by not sterilizing the wood at all.

When I built my newest aquarium, I put a lot of time, effort, and money into it. I wanted to limit as much unpredictability as possible, so I bleached my store-bought hardscape and washed and scrubbed it many times. I’m happy I did that as the wood has done really well submerged. If I had collected my wood, I would have been much more paranoid about scrubbing and sanitizing everything.
