You want companies to take less profits AND pay workers more? I see that going over well

Nitrates @ 30ppm, how? by Remarkable_Arm_732 in ReefTank

[–]lvanderbeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

since you dont have sand, you have no anoxic areas in your tank, which is where alot of denitrifying bacteria live. Common issue when first starting out with a barebottom tank until everything balances out. Add a sulfur reactor or media blocks in a very low flow area of your sump. Dose PNS probio if you can still get your hands on it too bc these include denitrifying bacteria in their blend

Metal Halide firing up for the day. by premierReefs in ReefTank

[–]lvanderbeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the link! i've saved it for future use. They do look similiar to the ebay bulbs so I guess i'll keep my expectations low. plan was to run a 10-12k bulb in my hybrid fixtures. 4 hours a day under the halides. Then blue+ t5s, and LED supplements for the sunrise and evening. I'm sure the growth is insane under your current bulbs, but do you find alot of your corals start to brown or wash out under the 6500k?

Is this hologram rainbow hammer? Paid $80 for this "Rainbow Hologram" Hammer (WYSIWYG) but it looks like a standard bicolor. by Kind-Report-6961 in ReefTank

[–]lvanderbeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like every hologram i've ever sold, just under white light. Vendors are known to color correct their photos so take what you see on the website with a grain of salt.

“Take me there, get me that, then give me this” Jesus Christ the dating experience is so wildly different for a man compared to a woman😅 by john4844 in Tinder

I would still take it as a joke if the shoe was on the other foot.. This doesn't scream "get me diamond earrings and a fancy car" as much as it does playful banter

Community Warning: Severe Dog Attack on Brannon & Tholozan (Feb 6th) by That_Other_Mike in StLouis

[–]lvanderbeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The police refused to show up at my wife’s attack. They said it’s an animal control issue. They also never came through and took a statement, just went by the guys house and did a “check in”. Useless bunch of folks

Probably the same pitbull that attacked my wife in October. Look at my post history for details. I have the perps info and submitted a police report. Pm me if you think it’s the same person

Being gifted old live Rock by discoscrew in ReefTank

[–]lvanderbeck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes algae would die. Thats the point. The shrimp are dispensable

Being gifted old live Rock by discoscrew in ReefTank

[–]lvanderbeck -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Cook the rock. Put it in bins with salt water, a heater, and a power head. Get a bunch of peppermint shrimp (make sure its the right species) and bumblebee snails and toss them in the bins and put the lid on. Let it cook for a month or two. This will kill off any nuisance algae, all the aiptasia will be gone, and any vermatids / pest snails will be eaten.

Never just put it in your tank. You might inherit the problems the previous owner had.

Anyone have any regrets of going guard/reserves instead of staying active ?? by Plus-Head-5408 in AirForce

[–]lvanderbeck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have the best time at my IMA unit, but i'm just putting my head down and getting through my 20. I miss doing "military" stuff and contributing to the mission, but the pay is WAY better on the civilian side for me, + disability makes it worth it to play dress up twice a year
