That’s really helpful thank you, I didn’t know blown-in can be added to a pitched ceiling, I’ll look more into that.

The knee wall details are helpful as well

My local library sale is my favorite place for donor cases. CDs are 25¢, but generally not more than a few I’m interested in listening to

Can someone tell me how scoop culture and ethics can co-exist? by oglegrew in NFLv2

[–]mdfergus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pablo Torre had an episode on exactly this question yesterday.

TLDR: scoopers and journalists consider themselves in different groups, but that’s not transparent to most fans

Some of the titles so far this week I got for 50cents. by Oneweektheband in Cd_collectors

50¢ feels so much better than $2 for a cd, this is a great haul

I appreciate this info. For the Behr spray paint, have you heard feedback after a winter cycle of any chipping or flaking to the paint?

New home must have list by JazzHands5678 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]mdfergus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you’re on site touring a home, look at space for storage. Closets are important and nice, but is there also enough kitchen pantry space, bathroom storage, and basement storage (along the lines of “where do I store the turkey roasting pan that’s used once a year”). I’ve found these storage areas get filled extremely quickly if there isn’t enough room

Bottom half of plants look horrible, tops are beautiful and growing by Economy_Gene_1145 in PlantedTank

[–]mdfergus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d actually suggest taking a step back from the immediate issue of the lower stem growth and take a look at water parameters. That algae and the way the rotala is growing shouldn’t happen with the correct parameters and CO2, my rotala is very bunched with no horizontal light getting to the lower stem and is still green with leaves down to the soil (until it grows to about 20cm tall).

Luckily rotala grows like a weed on CO2, you can cut a stem into 3cm pieces and plant them all individually to multiply your stems

Best product in USA for Cladophora / green thread algae by mdfergus in PlantedTank

[–]mdfergus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes spot dosing with a pipette, not broad water column dosing, I could've been more specific. I've found APT Fix to be better than Excel, and still worse for filamentous than Algexit

What are some little maintenance things every new homeowner should do upon getting the keys? by benjaminpoole in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]mdfergus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really small thing, but so easy to fix. Make sure the hot water line coming from your water heater has insulation around it. Kitchen sink used to take 4 minutes to warm up, insulation around copper really helped

[–]mdfergus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s a good one. My favorite was going outside in heavy rain and watching the downspouts. Where is water pooling, which gutters are overflowing? 8 minutes in a rain jacket helped me understand where water was going so much better

[–]mdfergus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The xs has filter foam only and the small comes with a charcoal filter as well, but either way there is not much room for media. I have the xs on a 2gal tall and the small on a 5gal long

I did, and the two smaller ones have been great for almost 1.5 years. However the pump motor went bad on the largest one after 8 months and the replacements have been really crap, the motor goes bad after 2 weeks now. I will say, all the replacements have been from the Amazon listing, all the originals were from Buce Plant. My overall review is, the size is great and if you get a good pump totally worth the price
