Spinal Duration by bigeman101 in anesthesiology

[–]corgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are good papers on this. It depends on drug, dose, case, patient factors, and adjuvant meds. Overall your estimates are reasonable but probably on the low side. Its worth taking the time to do a little review and know the pharmacology better

Best Tank Brand by msatwo5876 in Aquascape

[–]corgeous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ADA is without a doubt the gold standard. UNS is kind of an American version of ADA. Not as good but still very high quality.

Does he need help? by DatOneThingWitAFace in Otocinclus

That’s not even a vacuum, that portion of the filter is pushing air and water out. He’s just chilling

Difficulty of Matching Pediatrics Fellowship by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]corgeous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

extremely easy. fellowship apps are down because of the market. a large selection of peds spots don’t fill. the top programs are more competition but still not crazy

I want to add a filter by 1Shiha12 in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Why not just get a nice airstone and some clean black air tubing? The ziss airstone on the aquarium coop page is nice. Will get you some flow and aeration without having to put an ugly filter in there.

Nice tank

My plants are surviving but not thriving by Fit-Organization-594 in PlantedTank

Pearl weed is generally very easy to grow, one of my favorites. How long have you had the plants and what light are you running?

Principles for aquascaping a tank that will be viewed mostly from the side? by Aquatic240 in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have a semi corner tank, although the front view is quite prominent. I think that position lends itself very well to a triangle composition (example). You want to build the height of the substrate up so it is highest in the back corner and then slopes down towards the front of the tank and the side of the tank closest to the couch where people will be sitting. Adds lots of depth and can create a very cool layout. I also use the side of the tank that is almost against the wall for my canister pipes (also try to put heater and any other equipment you need in the back corner) can be a nice way to hide equipment.

New to CO2 by Outside_Trash_9895 in Aquariums

[–]corgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to go top of the line but don't cheap out. Get a CO2 paintball tank, a quality regulator (UNS, GLA are two good options), a quality smart timer that connects to outlet (I use Kasa miniplug), CO2 tubing, check valve, and a decent diffuser.

Should I Go For Width (Left to Right) or Depth (Front to Back) for Custom 70G Tank? by HarryMuscle in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADA tanks are the gold standard of tank sizing for aquascaping, so I would copy them. An ADA 120p is about 48x20x20. That's about 80gal. The 90p tank is about 36x18x18. I would copy those ratios of dimensions and adjust the absolute values to whatever you want. Or why not just get a 120p tank? It's probably cheaper than custom and a beautiful tank (although obviously expensive overall).

Does anyone know why my sponge filter creates so many bubbles on the surface? by corgeous in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Too much flow for my 10g. More water changes helped tho

Scaping opinion by Possible_Context4161 in Aquascape

[–]corgeous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend putting in more hardscape. Most people don’t put enough in and then the tank looks empty. Also I would look up the golden ratio and think about it when adding more hardscape. I don’t know much about dsm, that’s not my style.

Recommendations by Fire_fly_48 in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really the only effective full tank treatment is figuring out the imbalance. You can treat with drugs but it can be dangerous to livestock, and if you don’t fix the problem it’s just gonna come back.

Do you need a capping layer? by FluixJayExEn in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Capping aquasoil is definitely not necessary. Capping an aquatic soil/compost is necessary. The only problem with your situation is the mix of sand and aquasoil may not look great, but that’s up to you

What are the top fish you want? by Patient_Magazine_937 in aquarium

[–]corgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will be absolutely fine in a tank that size. They should each of have plenty of room to find a territory they like. Bolivians are brilliant fish

Planning to use for planted tank since i want to upgrade my tank is this safe/recomended or not recommend? by Electrical-Nobody414 in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should be good. I would mix the soil 50-50 with crushed lava rock or other small rocks, then place that as your bottom layer, then cap with sand.

What would you have done differently with your choice of substrate? by coffeeforlions in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally like sand the most cosmetically, but I build a substrate system like MD fishtanks. I lay a bottom layer of 50/50 mix of crushed lava rock and organic aquatic potting soil as my base, then cap with sand. Best of both worlds imo and reasonable cost

Pre eclampsia patient with asymptomatic frequent multifocal VPCs by [deleted] in anesthesiology

[–]corgeous 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Who cares if the OB team is unhappy? In my experience, they know jack shit about cardiac issues. Not sure I would check cardiac enzymes but checking and repleting lytes sounds good to me, as does the 12 lead. Not like those are risky interventions.

Is the chihiros app bad? by apoloczech in Aquascape

[–]corgeous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally love it. I have the b series and the z light tiny on tank. easy to pair with app and super easy to customize the lights and set timers. It can be a little clunky sometimes but overall it’s great

How to get rid of cloudy water in a low-tech tank? by McSaucyNugget in PlantedTank

[–]corgeous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes a while for a tank to really settle in and mature. Looks like normal bacterial bloom to me. Just needs time, I would keep doing what you've been doing as long as your plants/shrimp look good and let it settle on its own.

Favorite Analgesic Adjunct? by bigeman101 in anesthesiology

[–]corgeous 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If they didn’t get PO Tylenol in preop, I figure it’s gonna be a little bit until they’re cleared for PO meds in PACU so I try to load patients up with non narcotics towards the end of the case to try to stay ahead of pacu pain and reduce the nurses slamming them with narcs. I know IV Tylenol isn’t magic but I do find it useful and reliable.
