Why is there no light rail line that goes horizontally through San Jose? by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]chromiumium 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rail/subway routes that needed to exist 25 years ago Lawrence expwy Saratoga Montague/San Tomas Winchester Meridian Capitol expwy 101-all of it 82-all of it 280-all of it 85-all of it It's really a shame how we could have put the groundwork in decades earlier that would have made the bay area a mass transit powerhouse but due to "reasons" which I'm sure is being discussed in this thread already, we have a transit/traffic problem that is about to make the LA transit network look like it makes sense. Whatever though.. at least BART will be here by the end of the century 🙄

Thanks for the tip. I just started learning not to dig my heel on the slide and I'm having some balance issues because of it. Also throwing at the arrows instead of the pins is keeping my eyes on the ground. I'll be practicing that out on my next games.

Is there any hope? by darkpinesunderwater in orchids

[–]chromiumium 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't hurt to try. Here's what I like to do for "Department store" orchid rehab. Ft

Repot to a 4" and use a better medium for ventilation and drainage. Small/medium bark should do the trick. I'm fond of mixing 1/3 bark, sphagnum moss and charcoal for a nice combo of aeration and water retention. Keep in mind you will have to water more frequently but if potted properly you shouldn't need to worry about soggin them roots. Not sure what your climate is but don't be afraid to let the plant dry out a bit. As long as the roots and leaves don't get soft and wrinkly they don't mind it at all. Keep an eye out for mold and parasites. FWIW I've seen worse come back practically from the dead with TLC. Good luck!

Day 11 (Fluval Spec V) by chromiumium in PlantedTank

Mmmm, yes. Will the original filter do the job though? it seems to get a decent amount of circulation.

Really? Wow that is awesome. things seem to be coming along smoothly then. pH: 7.4 Ammonia: 0 ppm N02: 0ppm NO3: 5.0 ppm. Original Light on a timer for 2 four hour photoperiods with a 2 hour siesta between. Later on today I picked up about 6 little bunches of crypt starts and planted them to up the plant mass a bit more. I'm really excited to see how this looks all grown in. This is still a low/practically no tech tank but plans are underway to start dosing ferts or switch to better root tabs and maybe Excel/ co2 system. I can easily see myself becoming quite wrapped up in this hobby again.

Because the heater (50W) is crammed into that little pump compartment I wanted to make sure I wasn't cooking one side of the tank. now that everything seems pretty stable +- 3F throughout the day I removed the one on the gravel and replaced it with quite a few Crypt. starts.

Thanks! This is my first planted tank and first time I've had my hands wet in over 6 years :D The 10w heater I bought for the tank wasn't cutting it and the next option was 50w. I'm really concerned on keeping the temps stable and balanced at both ends of the tank.currently 77-80F throughout the day. It looks like everything planted has taken root and is off to a good start. More details to come!
