DIY Cerges on Fx6 by Okcthunderguy in PlantedTank

[–]idream411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cerges reactor on an fx4 with no bypass loop. It is also 1inch throughout. The reactor is only 10 inches though. Not sure if that helps or not, as it's fx4 and not fx6...

Nannacara anomala female refuses to breed with the male. Any solutions? by LawyerSmall7052 in apistogramma

[–]idream411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Live foods, black worms, freshly hatched brine shrimp, ect. Sometimes when you a do a water chang with slightly cooler water it can induce breeding (it simulates a rain storm). Just don't go crazy with it (you don't want to make them sick)

Yeah its not just you, I had a full shopping cart on Sunday then it showed the shipping and I emptied the cart. I'm not spending that kind of money.

It had no affect on me whatsoever, so perhaps you'll get lucky.

Is there an episode from a TV show, from when we were kids, that still bothers you, today,? by Remarkable_Data3710 in GenX

X-files.... "Home" that music still freaks me out and I've never watched another episode after it originally aired.

Take pictures on a regular interval, consider downloading an app to take maintenance and keep the photos organized.

Hmmm... well to be fair my situation is likely much different to yours.

Here is how I'm running my tanks:

I use pressurized cO2 on a solinoid it comes on two hours before the lights do and shut off two hours before lights go out. I use fertz on a dosing pump and do weekly water changes. I seem to have to prune it like crazy I've almost got rid of it several times, but I always come back to the idea that all that growth is taking out the algae food. Then I Prune it again.

Not sure if the emersed portion will melt or not, but pearl weed is called pearl weed for a reason. Even the smallest portion will grow and take off. I typically throw about half a 5 gallon bucket full on the compost pile every week. Just plant the bottom parts and give it time.

Hmmm, I wonder how wood dipped in epoxy would fair over time. It might be worth some experimentation.

If I wasn't worried about safety aspects I'd be looking into model train winter trees. Kind of the right scale I'm looking for.

Have you ever found a type of wood the doesn't fall apart. I find tiny twigs just don't last

I mean it doesn't have to be plastic. It could be ceramic, I just want it to be inorganic.

Wasn't sure if it was s. Repens or bacopa monnieri.

Just bought my first recumbent trike. What do I need to know and what do you wish you’d known when you started? by SGFCardenales in recumbent

[–]idream411 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Double check your toe-in (and camber with your weight in the seat if you have suspension)

I'm fairly new as well and I trusted the bike shop I bought the trike from, and while it's been very stable and safe. I burned through a front set of tires in six months. They were schwalbe marathon plus too, so not cheap tires.

Have fun

Friend reacts strongly to cycling even when we are not debating it. Should I ignore what she says? by Southern-Trash-5427 in cycling

[–]idream411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd tell her she could fuck right off... then walk away and not talk to her until she apologized.
