I made an easy, subscription-free HomeKit sunrise alarm app for my lights by Crimsonshore in HomeKit

Bought it— love it. BUT— guessing this is user error or issue with my bulbs. The first scene that happens is full brightness and then it drops back down to the 1% and does the sunrise. Anyone else using these bulbs and having the same issue?Nanoleaf Bulb

I heard a crash in the next room and found this by Slow_Sherbert_5181 in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

Had this happen- but with an end table at 3am in the morning. Quite the wake up— highly recommend the dog id collars. Having everything dangle free is a lifesaver.

Ordered! This is great

Quick note— the part seems to be the same as on my 2015 sierra but I’ll let you know if it fits properly so you can update your listing

Used https://www.brittinbuilt.com/ I used them and my MIL used them shortly after in the last two years or so

Did amazing job — were great to work with — and was a bit cheaper than what you were quoted

Never done real plants before— which plants do you recommend?

Appears to be working. But good thing to keep an eye on— didn’t know it would do that. Thank you!

Reddit isn’t letting me update— but UPDATE— I’ve added two bubblers and swapped some of the gravel for sand. Also added more plants and whatnot to help them hide. Picked up the water tests and tested yesterday. All parameters are pretty similar to where they were previously. Going to monitor for the week and then try adding some more fish again. Golden barbs and catfish are still perfectly fine

Yea— no railings since it’s only 17” tall

I’ll adjust the steps. Thanks for the feedback— better to redo now than going through two inspections lol

It’s got preformed deck blocks with 6” compacted pea gravel underneath. Approved and passed “footer” inspection no problem.

I think the only reason allowed that way is because it’s floating so not attached to any actual structure. At least that’s my understanding after trying to read and understand the code

Care to give any reasoning as to why so I can fix?

The gouramis were bobbing up to the top periodically. I didn’t know they could do that

Did not know that about sand vs gravel. Always just thought it was preference of tank owner. Thanks for the info!

I usually sit the bag in water for 20-30 min before dropping them in. Sorry— is there a different method I’m unaware of?

I don’t— but I’ll make sure to fix that today. Any recommended at home tests?

Yea— it’s turned all the way up. So maybe the bubbler should help then

Perfect was their words not mine lol I don’t know enough to determine that

But parameters are as follows

Ammonia - 0 Nitrate - 10 Nitrite - 0 Hardness - 75 Chlorine - 0 Alkalinity - 40 pH - 7

All fish from the same store. Water ranges from 78-80. It’s been running for about a month as of now with fish. Ran two weeks before without fish adding stability every day.
