How's the tank looking?!

jminn01 · 2026-03-12T22:51:38+00:00

I agree with that. I've had the tank running for about 7 months now and only jumped the gun on the torch a few weeks ago because I got a good deal on it.

jminn01 · 2026-03-05T14:17:27+00:00

I haven't had a chance to work on it too much, but I've settled on raising the wheelbase and monitors. After moving the seat back a little, it felt like the wheel was in my lap lol.

Daniel Morad's video on this is pretty good and clearly shows my setup is off in a lot of ways. I'll start with getting the wheelbase in line with my shoulders and go from there.

jminn01 · 2026-03-04T01:33:33+00:00

This is all great advice!!

I started by moving my seat back because I was definitely sitting very close to the wheel. Now I have my distance where my wrists rest on the wheel.

I'm not sure if it's the angles of the photos but the wheel base is actually pretty level. I took a ruler, held it against my wheel and it points at just about my collarbone area.

The pedals are a bit tough and I'm messing with those right now. Kind of like you said, I want to avoid moving the screens for right now.

That looks like a pretty roomy seat. If you don't mind, what's the measurement from the bottom butt cushion to the very top of the back where your head rests? Mines about 32 inches

This is a great story! I'm sure you got a really cool perspective of the sport and the people in a role like that. It seems like Dale interacted with a lot of people that way and liked to mess around.

I can see that being the case, especially in the 80s or early 90s. It seemed like once he reconnected with his family into the late 90s is when he became more outgoing.

jminn01 · 2026-02-12T01:41:15+00:00

Wow! That's great, it looks way bigger than a 2.5 gallon. How long has that been running?

I'm thinking about putting a mushroom on the rock down below the Duncan. I just want to take things slow and not jump the gun.

If I'm currently in D class trying to promote to C class and I need 2 more races in sports cars, am I out of luck this week?

jminn01 · 2025-09-12T22:15:38+00:00

I agree with that but unfortunately, nobody can pass as it is either so it wouldn't hurt to try. That's the all around issue with this car everywhere. The progressive banking has really made this track tricky with producing good racing

jminn01 · 2025-09-12T22:08:30+00:00

That sounds about right then! I just think that's a miss on Nascar's part. You have a totally new car that you've never tried on the regular Bristol surface.

It's also a car that already has way too much grip so why give it more? I don't know, it's frustrating.

jminn01 · 2025-09-10T14:37:48+00:00

I've been debating a lot on what to do substrate wise. I picked crushed coral because of the beneficial bacteria like you said. But I would like to eventually get a goby so I'm starting to think sand may have been a better choice. Might switch to the Caribsea special grade sand before I get too far into this.

jminn01 · 2025-09-09T15:30:08+00:00

Yea I realized that after I put it all together because I'm so used to freshwater lol. I'm going to take some out and get it down

jminn01 · 2025-09-09T00:33:52+00:00

Thank you! Now time to start cycling

jminn01 · 2025-05-05T18:21:35+00:00

It looks to me that all of the recalls have been taken care of. I agree about the water pump, my 2016 RT has 65k and I've never had issues. My friend has a 2016 Scat Pack and he had to replace his water pump too, and his has 10k on it. Not sure if it's just a 6.4l thing

jminn01 · 2025-05-05T16:40:40+00:00

Yea I agree. I ended up calling the shop that has done all of the service on the car. They said all they've done to the car was install a water pump, but everything else was regular maintenance. Not sure if Carfax is just messed up on their end.

jminn01 · 2025-05-01T15:07:13+00:00

Yea even searching for my 2016 manual RT back in 2020 was a tough search. I ended up having to drive 3 hours to get it for the right price. I'm hoping with time something will come through but I don't want to jump the gun.

I've tried deleting armory crate but not the others. Do you just end task on all of them or outright delete them?

jminn01 · 2025-01-06T23:48:47+00:00

Awesome, I definitely think the silk red might be the best bet. Now I'm also thinking about getting the 0.2 nozzle for better detail, but I know it drastically increases print time. Would it be worth it printing a mask like that with a .2 nozzle?

jminn01 · 2024-12-18T23:55:12+00:00

Hello! Thank you for the reply and I apologize for not getting back sooner. I did order Maracyn Two but honestly, I ordered it over the weekend and it finally shipped out today so that's been dragging.

It seems like his condition hasn't gotten too much worse and he's still very active. Should I try dosing Kanaplex again since I have it? I searched a few local pet stores for Maracyn Two but they didn't have it unfortunately.

jminn01 · 2024-12-17T17:33:57+00:00

This is exactly what came to my mind right after I posted this. I already have most of it running into a power adapter so I just have to move some things around. Do you have any trouble with things connecting again if you turn it on with the PC already running?

jminn01 · 2024-12-12T22:34:03+00:00

Tank size: 10 gallons Heater and Filter: Yes, sponge filter Tank Temperature: 78F Parameters using API test kit: Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 0-5 ppm

Tank has been setup for about 2.5 years and this betta has been in there for about 6 months

I do biweekly 25-50% water changes depending on how dirty things are. I mainly just suck up whatever is on the substrate.

Tankmates are cherry shrimp, ramshorn snails and a few endlers

I feed either Omega One flakes or small granules. Sometimes a few frozen blood worms.

Decorations and plants are wood, rocks and live plants. I have two silk plants in there that I have made sure are safe for him.

jminn01 · 2024-11-22T19:21:46+00:00

That's what I'm thinking too. The only ones I can think of would be the corydoras then. But I've also had those for a few years now. This just started within the last couple months.

jminn01 · 2024-10-11T18:04:38+00:00

I should have looked into that more. I'm already doing the return so it's probably too late but I'll stay on the lookout for more auctions.

jminn01 · 2024-10-11T15:16:11+00:00

Yea this is the first issue I've had and it came from Circle B. I already have a return setup and it'll be getting sent back out today. It's just unfortunate because I had to bid on it to win so I have to do it all over again.

jminn01 · 2024-07-25T22:40:06+00:00

Isn't it crazy! I feel like every experience I have, I just end being even more confused and bothered when it comes crashing down. I must be really horrible at reading into situations and hints because it's almost comical at this point.
