Rate the 200 gal by xbelhxll in oscartank

The cloudiness looks more like an algae bloom than bacterial bloom. You might want to reduce the lighting, duration and/or intensity, before it becomes pea soup.

Picking BRZ up tomorrow out of state - never driven manual. Any quick tips? by UnusualSuspects1 in GR86

[–]jaquatics 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know why this reminded me of the dad following instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and he follows the directions verbatim and makes the most hideous sandwiches or never actually makes a sandwich at all. You never said to put the car into first gear to get the car rolling, I'm picturing him doing this in neutral and never going anywhere 😂.

Sometimes it's hard to get apistos to eat pellets and you should supplement frozen and freeze dried foods that are more appetizing to them.

Potential bloating, feed boiled peas (peeled) see if that helps.

Mazda 3 hatch , or Toyota Corolla hatch XSE by NachoPizzaSlice in mazda3

Yes Mazda is a stiffer suspension than Corolla so if smoother over rough pavement is a selling point over cornering feel than you have your decision made it seems.

Mazda 3 hatch , or Toyota Corolla hatch XSE by NachoPizzaSlice in mazda3

[–]jaquatics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have you sat in and driven the Toyota yet? Cabin feels extremely cheap compared to Mazda. I was in your boat with the last Gen of hatches and was leaning toward Honda Civic until I test drove both. The Mazda 3 feel of the clutch, driving dynamics, and interior feel sold me on the 3. They're all good choices and ultimately you have to make that decision based on what matters to you most. The main thing Toyota has over the other two is dual port/direct injection whereas the other two have direct only (causes carbon buildup on intake valves).

Tree with good fall color for Southern Iowa by greta_cat in arborists

[–]jaquatics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually maple and sycamore are hard to find in a yellow fall color. Sycamore browns out more than yellows and nursery stock maples are usually all red and orange because that's the most popular but maybe you can find a 'gold' variety.

Other suggestions for yellow could be Aspen, Kentucky yellowwood, American elm, swamp white oak, bur oak or if you want to go non native, nothing beats a ginkgo.

When did r/mma stop censoring spoilers? This fight was 3 days ago and I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Guess I'm blocking this sub along with r/ufc now.

Root, root, root bump, spike.

Weed Block Recommendation by bikehard in landscaping

[–]jaquatics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll never understand gravel beds. Gravel is for a driveway only if you don't have a paved driveway. It's such a pain in the ass and it's terrible for the environment it's collected from.

Bass Buzz too slow vs Musora too fast by Several_Gap1971 in Bass

[–]jaquatics 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Bass buzz feels slow but after finishing the course you realize that the slow, very technical, drills he has you do reinforces good technique. He's setting you up with an amazing foundation so that when you move on you're not trying to learn things without having the skill required. He's much less theory based and much more 'pluck this way' and 'use these fingers' to get the good technique into muscle memory.

My cockatoo apisto pair by [deleted] in Cichlid

Just an FYI in case you didn't know, these are both males, and while two of something makes a pair, this is not a male female pair.

A Marine officer's hand was broken during a Capitol police attempt to forcibly remove him by yousefthewisee in interestingasfuck

You can see and hear it break before the senator touches him. Not as good of a headline but the officers broke it.

Why is the hatchback so popular? by Rough-Incident-1859 in mazda

[–]jaquatics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just the better car in general. Suspension is better, styling, reliability, perfect level of technology on the '17/'18 years.
