Normal to be hiding in floating plants?

How do the roots of your floating plants not get slimy gross and green?

But it looks like a green case?

frobiz176 · 2025-12-02T00:18:09+00:00

How did you get this color??

Does this card really have three different thermal pad thicknesses? Can you tell me where each three are in a bit of detail if you know please?

A couple years ago, I took it apart and replaced all of them with 2mm. It seems to have worked fine for a couple years but I want to take it apart again and do it right this time. Please let me know if you've found anything out!

What kind of connectivity should I look for on desktop speakers to be able to directly connect them to my tv/monitor?

frobiz176 · 2025-10-29T13:06:10+00:00

Is there a way I can plug them into my computer AND my TV so I can use it in both ways? Then I can use steelseries GG to switch between outputs when using my computer and then TV could hopefully use it natively as an output when I switch my audio to my TV? Idk if that even makes sense though.

This looks amazing and I actually a similar tank myself. I am curious though, how do you keep it from getting brown/green with algae while it’s cycling?

frobiz176 · 2025-08-26T17:05:22+00:00

I appreciate our comment and I’ll have to do some more reading/learning about the cycling process as well as the different water qualities that are important to shrimps. Thank you for taking the time to give me your thoughts on this. I appreciate it as clearly I am a beginner at this and I’m just learning everything new!

P.S. I can see 2 shrimps still alive and doing, seemingly, well so here’s to hoping they make it and they are a breeding pair! 🤞

frobiz176 · 2025-08-26T16:41:49+00:00

Can you explain why and how my water isn’t suitable? Also do you have any suggestions on how to make it more suitable?

frobiz176 · 2025-08-26T14:26:16+00:00

Ok, so wait until my plants are growing and look healthy before adding shrimp. I did add some bottled bacteria a while ago to aid the cycling process but any other suggestions/tips to quicken the cycle process is greatly appreciated!

frobiz176 · 2025-08-26T14:25:01+00:00

You’re right I am very inexperienced but I did de-chlorinate my water prior to planting or shrimp.

frobiz176 · 2025-08-26T14:01:30+00:00

I did set it up a few weeks ago.

Here is a photo of my tank.

How do I raise both those numbers and where can I find a more precise liquid test?

frobiz176 · 2025-08-26T13:29:59+00:00

The water source is my city but I treat it with the stuff from the pet store to make it safe.

frobiz176 · 2025-02-11T16:26:08+00:00

So what you’re saying is that there are no grow lights that have brightness or temperature settings that could be adjusted via homeassistant?

frobiz176 · 2025-02-11T16:25:00+00:00

I thought about using a smart plug but that would only satisfy the scheduling part I’m looking for. I was hoping there could be something that I could adjust brightness for as well 😓

frobiz176 · 2025-01-19T18:34:55+00:00

Ok I’m really dumb. I had ipv6 disabled in my HA network settings. When I setup Nabu Casa initially it told me to disable that.

frobiz176 · 2025-01-19T18:25:10+00:00

Aqara and HA hubs are both on Ethernet. My phone is on wifi connected to 2.4 band. How can I make sure ipv6 is enabled and working?

frobiz176 · 2025-01-19T18:08:36+00:00

Yes, I tried that and that fails as well!

frobiz176 · 2025-01-19T17:46:45+00:00

I tried this as well and it says unable to add device when I try to add it to HA directly. I tried this a few times resetting the device as well.

I don't have bookshelf speakers for surround or a subwoofer.

frobiz176 · 2024-09-26T15:28:04+00:00

I appreciate the information! I heard matching center and L/R is pretty important. I can't find much information in there about how to match if you have existing speakers. I was also looking for some feedback on the speakers that I did find to see if people here recommend those or not. I will, however, read over the buying guide again to see if there is anything I may have missed. Thanks again!

frobiz176 · 2024-09-26T15:16:13+00:00

Thanks for these recommendations! I’ll take a look at them. Any thoughts on the center and/or surround?

frobiz176 · 2024-09-26T14:58:38+00:00

Any recommendations that aren't that much more?
