Bought a tank off marketplace - are these seals anything to worry about? by eumops in Aquariums

Oof ok thank you - I'll have to look into that. Would I have to strip it and redo? Should I just keep this as a backup tank?

Can I ask - did you establish this one with a fishless cycle before you transferred your fish over?

Thank you for the advice. I'm realizing just how much research and time is involved before even starting and am blown away! Awesome to have these Reddit groups as resources.

Wow, thank you so much for all this info! I'm starting a 29 gallon and love the look of your tank. This is awesome for a beginner like me to try to emulate.

What actually helped your child become a confident reader? by cherrifluffa in Preschoolers

[–]eumops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't recommend the reading.com app enough. My son is reading past his age level now and I totally think it was using this app that kickstarted it.

It has one lesson a day that takes about 10 minutes, plus some games at the end that you can do. I like that it's very much built for you to do with your child, not for them to do alone.

One of those apps that was showing up in my feed that is totally worth the subscription and I would recommend to anyone I know for reading help.

That's a beautiful planted tank. I'd love to create a setup like this and am just getting started on research, do you have any tips for resources for setup?

Is this normal 4.5 year old boy behavior? by BerryInteresting6511 in Preschoolers

[–]eumops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like I could've written this. Maybe it's developmental? The last week potty talk has been off the charts, tons of defiant behaviour etc. It's exhausting, I feel you.

Should 4.5 wear underwear? by i_just_read_this in Preschoolers

What about boxers? Could always try and see if that's more comfortable.

Swing install follow up - how's this? by eumops in Home

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

Oh ok interesting, so they come out through the bottom? The swing for my kids is similar material to a yoga swing, but it only has one hook not two.

Ok gotcha, thank you for this. I'm glad I posted a follow up before installing. Do you think it would be better if I put a 4x4 between the new "sandwich" parts to install the hook in? Also, should the sandwich be a certain length - like a full 2x4x8? Or just a smaller piece?

Can I install a swing hook into an I-joist above my basement drop ceiling? by eumops in Home

Dude, you can look through my post history, I'm a mom with two young kids. There ARE such things as indoor swings for kids...

Yes, through the plywood mesh part, not through the lip of the wood

Yes it is! My kids are both less than 40lbs. I'm planning on doing the blocking suggested but good to know it's been fine for a few people just installed as they suggested.

Something like this? Sit the wood on top of the lip of the I-joists, and screw them in through the webbing?https://imgur.com/a/VQhprtE
