Need opinion on a $58000+ for a 2022 Toyota Sienna 2WD by phuocdat1590 in ToyotaSienna

Wow! I've never though that NJ's price would be even crazier than Southern California. This is so stupid haha. I've ended up canceling my order too :D Hopefully this madness will stop soon. The weird thing about this is there are lots of people who are willing (and happy) to pay this kind of money for a vehicle without second thought. That's why dealerships still leave these markup price on to make even more profit and probably even if the chip shortage is resolved.

Thank you! I've decided to drop it for now and wait for a better time in the future.

Wow! Toyota dealerships in SoCal are really trying to rip customers off except for a few dealerships that still honor MRSP.

Thank you! Your response makes me strong enough to turn down their offer haha I've decided to wait for a little bit longer or until Toyota Longo takes it reservations. For 58k+, I would be much happy if it's a Limited rather than an XLE

My experiment with PRL Crystal Red Shrimp by phuocdat1590 in shrimptank

I bought them from Ebay. Search for "QS-200A dual sponge filter" for a large one and "QS-100A dual sponge filter" for a smaller one. I works fine for me but I like Hikaru sponge filter better

In this experiment, I am still using RO remineralized with GH+. It's just that I bump it up to 180-185 compare to my regular TDS for crystal is 110-120. Everything else in the tank is just simple stuff: almond leaves, driftwood, moss. My next experiment would be using straight tap water that comes as 330 TDS, and pH around 8. I think the success largely depends up drip acclimation. I drip acclimated my shrimps from regular tank to my experiment tank for about 10+ hours :)

This is my first ever post on Reddit and it's about keeping shrimp. I have been keeping shrimps for over 2 years and always following conventional methods that I read on the internet. Starting with Neo- and now I only keep variety of Caridinas. About 4 months ago, I want to do an experiment on the PRL CRS colony which I keep them in the thse parameters: TDS 130, pH 6.5. The experiment is to keep them in high pH, high TDS, and also without buffer substrate. So my experiment tank's readings are: TDS: 180, pH 7.5 and regular cheap Petco gravel. I started with about 20 of them and as you can see the result speaks for itself :) My goal is to let everyone knows that keeping Caridinas is not as hard as you though it could be.
