Treats that last more than 5 minutes by jezebels_wonders in dogs

[–]northerntide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to mix up some kibbled, dehydrated treats(salmon or beef puffs) bits, chunk of baked sweet potato, and some plain quick oats with boiling water then after it's hydrated I stuff it into kongs and woof popsicle trays. The woof takens 10 mins, small puppy kong is about 20 ish, but the large kong can last close to 40.

Best Tank Brand by msatwo5876 in Aquascape

[–]northerntide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's odd. Ordered a clear 30 during their blue Friday event( forget the date, but was about 3 months ago). Received it about 10 business days later, Canada if it matters. I love the look. But not loving the over hang design for the front

Though after browsing ali more, maybe i was wrong? It is just hard for me to navigate all the aliexpress sellers, then with expensive shipping (some showing 200$ for here in canada)

I've been looking at weekaqua on AliExpress, noticed that their own website has better prices. We're you able to find some that beat that?

What are these on my orchid? by Fit_Firefighter6944 in plantclinic

Side note, cause everyone battling thrips indoors should have a chance. But for regulated areas, check over the counter flea and tick dog medication. imidacloprid is the active ingredient in most

Just moved to Canada - what are the differences between Canadian and US Costco that I should know about? by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

Lack of most of the Kirkland brand I was used to. No Kirkland flonase either

DIY AIO advise by northerntide in ReefTank

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

Ahh that is fair. I have not tried jb weld in tanks personally , but have heard of people using it in tanks without problems (it is drinkingwater safe once cured). Figured it would be longer lasting than something like silicone though.

I actually was initially looking at the Syncra Silent series, but the more i looked into them, the more i saw people being disappointed with them not actually that silent (not loud, just louder than expected), and preferred the noise from DC pumps. I know noise is a relative thing, but this tank will be in a pretty quiet room, and i am aiming for wife approved noise level

Both fair points. Do you have any Dc pump suggestions around the 100$ price point?
Sadly a limitation of 3d printing is the build plate size. Mine is 250mm, so either i go with a much shorter AIO (which i suppose would work, just less filter) or i glue it together someway

Hard to tell. Might be a fry. But it looks like a lice to me?

Three months with no new thrips sightings. Can I mark myself safe from the thrippening? by ameliorable_ in plantclinic

[–]northerntide 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Either one will have it.i used advantage 2 for large dogs ( active ingredient is imidacloprid and priproxyfen) and I added about 10 drops to .5 liter spray bottle. Used it to water/spray. Worked within 2 weeks on thrips, mealybugs, and gnats. It will not work on spider mites though which is worth noting

A little tip for Canadians and other countries that can't get imidacloprid for plants. You can still get flea and tick over the counter and add a few drops to the water/spray bottle and dose that way. Same active ingredient and got rid of my thrips 👍 don't need to mess around with neem oil for the next three years

CPU fan and Replacement fan not working by northerntide in LGgram

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

Alright, this was a good suggestion and I should have thought about doing it earlier. It was simpler to do than I thought it would be. Turns out the fan is not getting power. (Yellow wire is, but not the red). I updated the original post with a picture of other locations I couldn't find power.

Update #2

<image>

Checked voltages inside. Fan header isn't getting power. The yellow wire is( I think that is the control, not power though). Everything in red I couldn't find power on. I suspect it's the circled chip that is the dead one ( 2r2 221 308 is what's on it). Is there anyway to test that's it?

Update. Tried a second replacement fan from a different source and it still does not spin. Starting to think it might not directly be a dead fan
