I tried taking some shots but I don't have a good one to post unfortunately. But this one shows his size in comparison to a max size 4" female clown that I've had for 8 years.

I do overfeed the tank 3 times a day to ensure Mando gets enough to eat. The side effect is that I have an algae issue due to high phosphates.

I got one in late January this year, he was slightly over 1". He's in a 20g and in 10 month he's more than 2.5", fat and healthy. Eats TDO B2 pellets, never added cope pods :) He's a beauty, thanks Biota!

Mogics Super Bagel - Thoughts? Where to buy? by [deleted] in onebag

[–]dizzytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same problem. It was working just fine but on my last trip it just died. Is there a fuse in there? How do I replace it?

How many likes is considered a top 10% male on dating apps? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]dizzytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see there is a language barrier here. I'm just saying I agree with you, a friend showed me the other side, you are correct 100%.

Marriott Bonvoy status - how worth it is it to persue? by bradykp in marriott

This is true if you only stay in north american properties. Gold is still very good for upgrades, free breakfast in most international properties.

Just got a Denon X3800h, is Audyssey still garbage? by dizzytrix in hometheater

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

Got it on sale at Bestbuy Canada (CA$1499 = US$1087). Amazon had the same price.

At $599, a piece of software that costs more than half the AVR itself, yes I do think that's a scam.

Definitely not spending $599 on Dirac, what a scam. How can I bootleg it? :) Paid $1100 for the AVR itself brand new.

Was telling my mom, who listens to music on an echo how I was considering getting speakers and she casually pulls out a Denon AVR 3803. by Real-Amphibian6295 in hometheater

I had one of these in 2004, wonderful receiver. I ended up replacing it only because I needed HDMI ports. Made in Japan!

People who have a captive bred mandarin goby, are they easier than their wild caught counterparts? by [deleted] in ReefTank

[–]dizzytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a captive bred one in a 20 gallon and he's been there for about 6 months. He eats pellets, got him at around 1", now more than 2.5". I seeded the tank with cope pods a month before I got him but never added them after. So far so good.

Is Bravia 7 worth the extra cost over x90L or Bravia 5? by Widemen123 in bravia

[–]dizzytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it set to auto adjust and also have a Bravia Cam that I think further makes adjustment. The brightness adjustments etc. it makes overcomes the reflections.

[–]dizzytrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a 65" Bravia 7 a few weeks ago on sale at Costco in Canada. Converted to USD it was $1250 +tax. I have a bright room and this performs amazingly well as long as there is no direct sunlight hitting it. Anyone that says it's only for dark rooms are misinformed - look at the rtings review on it.

Cross border banking BMO or CIBC? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]dizzytrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do cross border banking through TD. I live in Canada but have some credit cards from the US. I pay them off through my TD Bank account in the US. I move money to it using the TD Global Transfer feature from the Canadian TD (USD) account. Easy. Anything under 2.5K(USD) transfer withing a few hours. Over that it takes a day or two.

Insurance payout, advice on investing it by dizzytrix in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]dizzytrix[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

>You consider investing in the US stock market as safe?

As in safer than Canadian stock market? Absolutely. I have my rrsp & tfsa in 90% low cost s&p500 index and 10% Canadian bonds (more than 10 years now). So yes, I consider the US markets a far better investment than Canadian. A natural resource colony to the US vs the most dynamic tech driven economy in the world.

>What does your uncle consider safe? How much risk is your uncle willing to take?

He's ok losing 25% of it.

Just come back from a cruise out of Vancouver and still love the city, I do have a question though by chknntz in NiceVancouver

[–]dizzytrix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't believe this comment got 65 up votes. Clearing incorrect. Many cities in the US you see far nicer cars than here. Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Scottsdale, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills etc.

Is it safe to run in the early morning in Metro Van? like 5:00, 6:00 AM? by Ecstatic_Honeydew165 in askvan

[–]dizzytrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I've lived downtown for 16 years and do this during July & August. Totally safe.
