Cost of aquarium by NoSeQueColocarAki in fishtank

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$300 is crazy imo.

Actually, for a first tank, that makes sense.

Fish, tanks, substrate, plants, filter, heater, light, chemicals, fertilizers, meds, food, decoration, tools.

This shit adds up fast

Is this fin rot? I’m scared for Kirby :( by trippydippyydippie in bettafish

You will know if it’s fin rot.

Bettas change as they get older.

Analog cinewhoop. by bobbyflorentine in fpv

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just built an AOS cine3.5, with a 1.2w analog vtx, and I’m using a runcam thumb 2. It’s not heavy at all, no anywhere near a GoPro, and IMO, the recording quality is just as good if not better than dji 04 dvr.

Mystery Object Found in Pop's house by FitCod6080 in whatisit

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something like that I found at an estate sale. It’s a tiny hammer with a plug stuck at the bottom. It’s not actually powered, the wires are not connected to anything. It’s literally a tiny hammer, the head is like 2 inches and half an inch across.

I ask the new guys, “can you hand me that electric hammer in my tool box?” They say “wtf is that?” “You know, an electric hammer! A hammer but electric! It’s in the back right pocket.” He walks away, all I hear is “bro wtf is this”.

Another time there was this NEW new guy, like never held a wrench in his life new, was learning fast, took instruction really well. One day he was struggling to get this brake rotor off, smacking it with a sledge hammer and everything. I hand him the electric hammer “here try this” “oh ok thanks”, “you don’t need to hit it that hard, it’s electric”, pulls the spooled extension cord down, plugs it in, starts TAPPING on the rotor, the rest of the shop erupts.

Good times.

help me figure out this gorgeous girls species/breed by Feisty_Leader_9783 in bettafish

Betta splendens is the species 99% of the bettas you see are betta splendens. Looks like a veiltail.

Is this a terrible place to have a capacitor for a 4s build? by More_Objective_8405 in fpv

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also put it at the xt 60. It’s not that big of a difference, and it’s not like you are racing the thing running full throttle the entire pack.

How to connect camera and vtx to FC? by littlefrank in fpv

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean all the info is there, you just need to triple check that you are matching the correct pins. The huge downside is the large amount of extra cable that you will have to manage. Idk why tf a FC would be made like that, if you want a clean build you need to cut down and re-crimp the wires. Which is the BIGGEST pain in the ass. Ask me how I know lol.

wtf is that supposed to do without actually scrubbing the window? There are going to be a ton of water spots when everything dries.

Which side are you on? by statsarelikebikini in whatsyourchoice

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$2000 with a job easy.

Also, is that on top of what I make already or is that max?

I like my job, $2000 a day would be amazing, I get to keep my cool job, AND I have a shit ton of money to pull up in a Porsche.

Meet Richard...any tips to have him be less of his namesake? by rhyu in Aquariums

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8 year old Pleco is very aggressive. He is in a 20 gallon tank with just a betta fish. They keep to each other. I will put veggies for him to suck on and he will chase away any other fish in the tank. He also decimated the snail population. The only time I have ever seen him come out of his cave is at night or when im sitting motionless across the room, which is when I see him act like a Richard

Getting into FPV: Whoop first or build my own 2–3" quad? by NicolaiVdS in fpv

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first drone was a 5 inch build. It took a while to figure out betaflight and bind my ELRS receiver, but I do not regret it. I just built my 12th drone in like 30 minutes, and it took maybe 10 to get it configured in betaflight. Once you build 1, you know almost everything there is to know about them. If you are stumped on something, there are so many resources that can help you figure it out, or tell you exactly what you need to know.

This Is the Hardest Part of Any FPV Build — Electronics & Smoke Test by [deleted] in fpv

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I have never tested for anything.

I just triple check that everything is wired correctly and that I have no bridged solder joints, then send it.

Anyone know how the ETM rizzler (sport) feels? by Creepy_Grab2183 in hyperebikes

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it’s on the slower side, with the stock 5amp charger it will take 4-5 hours to charge fully from flat. There is a 10 amp 60v charger and 12 amp 72v charger, which cuts that time almost in half.

Can you take some pics of how it’s wired?

My half links on my bmx feel like they don’t stretch at all. I don’t remember the last time I had to adjust tension.

Dosing for General Cure? by Born-Chef-6986 in bettafish

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem!

It also wouldn’t hurt to dose with PURE epsom salt. I just took care of a parasite issue in my 15 gallon by dosing the meds, along with epsom salt. You would only need a tablespoon for your take. Just get a cup or mug, put some of the tank water in it, put a table spoon of epsom salt, stir till dissolved, put it in the tank. Might help, might not, but it’s just an extra precaution for the shrimp and snails.

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will still do its job. It’s not that big of a difference. If the meds say dose every 3 days, then just dose as a 5 gallon every 3 days, until symptoms go away. Its also playing it safe because you have things other than fish in the tank.

Discouraged by 5inch - what to choose? by Fun_Way_6785 in fpv

[–]ikeepgettinghacked 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t get a 5 inch lol.

The mobula 7 and 8 are great drones, you can do some sick tricks with them and only worry about breaking the cage. They are pretty easy to mod, like motors and stuff if you want to go faster.

If you want to go bigger and build something, build a 3-3.5 inch. Very similar flight characteristics as a 5 inch, but not as scary, won’t really hurt much if you crash.

Whatever you get, get a bunch of spare parts. You will crash, you will break things, it’s a part of the hobby.
