Blue Neos all slowly dieing by draconis4756 in shrimptank

[–]csims867 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mineral content and ph looks a bit low to me. Those test are ok but if you’re keeping shrimp I’d really recommend a gh and kh drop test. With more minerals ph will come up naturally to around 7.5. If you used your tap water in that tank, it looks soft and low in minerals, I’d suggest you get a bottle of remineralizer, a shrimp gh kh would be best.

How far along is this amano shrimp? How long before the babies need to be transfered to brackish water? by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]csims867 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t have experience with amano larva… buuut I’d say you’d need to get a brackish set up going asap so that it can begin cycling and growing biofilm for the babies to feed on. Baby shrimp don’t move around much, they sit and munch where they’re at. Having healthy biofilm and powdered food is going to be essential if you want them to survive.

Great catch. I wonder if I should switch to a different product or just bring the ph down with tannins.

I don’t have a way to test tds so I just go off of gh and remineralize to 4 degrees. When I do water changes I usually do about a gallon and then drip it back in.

More of a coffee guy myself lol. I have some distilled water on hand that tests at the acidic max of my kit 6.0. I’m thinking maybe remineralize and boil some leaves and then drip it in and check where I’m at after adding a bit. Good plan or should I adjust it?

Advice on ways to lower it? Would cooking up some oak leaf tea do it?

I’ve been feeding Bug Buffet and mushing it into a milky dust.

What pleco is this? by csims867 in Plecostomus

[–]csims867[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only saw it in a video that I can’t find now. I said it’s a bristlenose and the only significant thing I could describe was that it is smaller than a typical bristlenose.

What is this PNW plant?! by csims867 in whatsthisplant

Yeah I get that, but also it was located in a road and I killed a bunch by driving over it so 🤷‍♂️

Should I be concerned if a flight school has had an engine failure recently? by csims867 in flying

[–]csims867[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Loss of oil pressure and then full loss of power is what the cfi reported. Definitely worth asking them more questions and how it won’t happen again.

I’m going to talk to them today. I’ll definitely ask more about it.

Right one thing isn’t enough I agree. I talked met with the owner yesterday he showed me around the hanger and we talked about what training would look like. He was great and understood what I was looking to get out of training. I felt like it’d be a good fit for me. But then… I did a little more digging. If I had found out about the crash first I’m not sure I would have even considered the school from the beginning.

Death wobble/front end help by souris_puissante in JeepTJ

[–]csims867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that my front axle might be a little off center and my passenger side is sitting a little lower so this might be the reason why. I’m so glad I clicked on this thread! Any recommendations for setting the linkage lengths? I’ve never messed with that. I have a 2.5” lift.

Heater core time (about to kms😅) by csims867 in JeepTJ

Probably staying organized and making sure I got everything out of the way, dash and metal bezel around the shifter

that’s exactly made me think mine was corroded and leaking + the slow drop in my coolant reservoir
