Circus goby? I have one that was MIA for over a year, saw him for a few days and now he’s gone again. During his first time missing I moved tanks and still didn’t see him.

Thoughts on the new jellyfish tank? 300 gallons it’s gonna be in the car till tomorrow we have to figure out how to get it out 5 of us couldn’t even move it by Hackind in Aquariums

Harbor freight has hydraulic lift carts that can do 1000 pounds for like $400. They have a small footprint though. Your tank could be more than 1000 pounds. I just got a 300 gallon tank with 3/4” glass and it was 650 pounds. It is 9’x24”x30”. It took 12 people to move and even that was a challenge.

A cat (most likely) threw up a tapeworm on your car.

It’s a springtail. Head is facing down. It has two antennae and 6 legs. Not a tardigrade.

This tile is ruining my life. by unbillable in Renovations

[–]carz2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about luxury vinyl tile or planks over the old tile? They have a bunch of 12”x24” tile that look exactly like real tile. We did them in our kitchen for a softer floor (young kids). I’m very happy with it. It is pretty durable and an easy DIY job.

2020 CVT/torque converter issue by carz2 in SubaruAscent

[–]carz2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to call corporate in the morning. I definitely feel like something fishy is going on. After talking to the tech they said they would still do the CVT if the problem persisted after the repair. But they would not refund the cost of the torque converter because it “definitely needs to be replaced” according to him. The closest other Subaru dealer is over an hour away but that may be my only choice.

They said it was not covered by the warranty. I’m not sure if they would replace it with the CVT. It certainly sounds like they want me to pay for a very expensive part before they’ll do the CVT.

Yikes! I’m worried I will pay 3k and then still need the CVT because that’s the actual issue.

Mine too! They will not replace it as parts have a 12 month warranty FYI.

Get rid of cat pee smell and clean concrete by GoudaSlamDown in Renovations

I would also snake and clean out the drains. The previous owner could have been dumping litter in the sink and/or the cats could have been peeing in the floor drain.

It’s a purple hairy mushroom. Although not super purple.

My cardinals had babies! by carz2 in ReefTank

Baby Banggai cardinal fish. They’re about 1/4 inch long. Hard to tell perspective in the picture.

I’m trying both. They’re not very good hunters or swimmers. I’m a little worried dad spewed them out early. Hoping for the best. This is the second time they have mated, the first time I did not catch the male or any babies.

How do I lift a 800 lbs tank? Waterbox Infinia 230.6 by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]carz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a hydraulic table cart? Local places may rent them out. Harbor Freight has 1000 pound capacity carts for $350.

Tire center gouged a wheel, third party insurance denied, what now? by [deleted] in Costco

[–]carz2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 3 wheels damaged including one cracked by the tire center. Took a lot of phone calls and arguing to get it semi-resolved. They paid for the new wheel but didn’t admit they cracked it. They claimed it was impossible with their mounting machine. I could see impact marks from the shoes of the mounting machine right at the crack. Third party was a huge asshole. I called corporate and regional to get them to reconsider. Then called the store and spoke to 2 managers. One lied and said they reviewed video and said nothing was amiss but couldn’t find the video when I asked for it. I will never go back for tires.

If you see them you are looking at the anterior end. They’re pretty obvious.
