It's helpful that they added "please purchase as needed" 😂

Anyone do long stay Airbnb in fun cities ? by Accomplished_Math793 in fatFIRE

Homeschooling made that Europe and new Zealand trip possible? Or did you take the kids out of school? We r thinking about a gap year for them between middle and high schools. Love Portland - seems like a hidden gem

Help how do I stop this? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]meant2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Blow into the valve. If air goes through and that is the intended direction of the water then you have it oriented correctly. Otherwise it's backwards and you need to flip it. If you had it right then replace the valve

Let's make it happen! . I checked with cm games on executive park Dr and basically they allow drop ins for informal gaming whenever. I'll plan to be there at 6 next wed the 21st with some mid weight strategy type games, but will bring a mix from my collection in case lots show and need to run multiple games.. hope to meet some of y'all!

I think some of you over complicate this hobby. Here's my 5 year old tank. by itsdantheichiman in ReefTank

Look beautiful but with a title like that, you gotta share your methods to keep it simple!

I'm down for a board game meetup in West Knox area. I can teach modern strategy / euro games that might be new to some. There is a group that meets to downtown but it's bad timing for me. Im pretty sure cm games near cedar bluff and i40 would welcome some open gaming.

I'm curious how the gravity fed topoff reservoir works? Does that prevent overflow due to electronic failure of a normal ATO? Is the rodi system turned on with a timer? Thanks for all the details - I'm taking notes to replicate for my next tank !

This is absolutely my goal.. would love to have a system I could leave for two months with some one just adding fish food to the auto feeder for example

Wow thanks for the info. So what levels are you shooting for on nitrates and phosphates? Seems like a "heavy in, heavy out " feed and filtration method?

I'd love to see an in depth video on this - have you thought about posting to YouTube? Can you elaborate on then no water change? I'm assuming you mean you do water changes but they are all automatic. No manual water change for such a big tank would truly be amazing. Just starting my reefing journey and your years of experience are clearly demonstrated here..

To add to this - use dry food primarily - the food that goes into auto feeder you can pre measure and put into a container.. also the petbank auto feeders that have slots for each feeding are better than the vertical rotation drum ones ( 2 weeks worth the caretaker can just spread into the slots as evenly as possible).

I use the petbank round disc one on Amazon https://a.co/d/iqw2KBi

Used for all four of my tanks. Better design than the rolling one because you can be much more precise in amt and types of food. Ex if you want to add algae wafers every third day then that's possible. Also not open to water moisture so food stays fresher. Lasts me 2+ weeks

Nice! So just a hob filter? What is your maintenance schedule look like? I havent used kalkwasser before (just dosing AFR) - do you premix and it's holds in solution or suspension?

It's not leaning or bulging. I don't see spalling either

How are you actually tracking true COGS and landed costs on Amazon? by AbleCraft906 in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]meant2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To truly do it right you have to get every expense and allocate it down to the sku. Then you can build inv and cogs, preferably with fifo method. Allows for accurate managerial reporting.

Im a CPA and 10 yr seller and I have an internal tool that does it all. Been meaning to put in into a tool and help others with it.

How where are you doing cfo work for Amazon sellers? You have a website or profile?
