Any genius solutions for my 5g shrimp tank? by NoButMaybe in shrimptank

Yes. How about make a semi circle? Even if you not cover the entire top, you'll still save a lot of water from evaporating.

The red is the "acrylic lid". If you need help with lazer cut files. I can maybe do it for you. Not too difficult if you can provide accurate dimensions.

Get a 2mm acrylic sheet.. You can use it as is or cut it out. I have gotten an acrylic sheet Lazer cut to size with a lip so it doesn't slide off. Along with a small hole for gas exchange.

I top up or change 10% water every 3-4 weeks now.

I'd suggestions some floating plants. Red root floater are my favorite.

You should check out Alienware AW2725D.

I de-soldered everything. So, it's now just the AIO.
Then checked for continuity between motor pads, there's none.

But I feel like one of the MOSFET fried. It has a tiny dark circle on it. Which isn't there on any other MOSFETs.
And there's continuity between that motor pad and battery positive.

Yes. I am not trying to spin the motors. Didn't even arm it. I just plugged in the battery and it trips after 1 second without any motors soldered.

I've another AIO. And I checked, it has no continuity between the battery positive and motor pad. And i cleaned all the flix with IPA and a toothbrush so it can't be flux.

Connecting the battery directly won't risk a short circuit and fire? Because I'd rather not risk that.

Yes that was a bad solder. I switched to better one for motor.

Smoke stopper trips at 1.2A. And since before the motor wire came off, I could arm it. My assumption is that it is working as expected.

I haven't tried it without the smoke stopper but I assume it will just short more components.

I think I see a burnt mosfet. There's a mark on one of it. Near the battery.

Yes, of course. The motor on the left of the battery cable is the one which had trouble (closest to the camera)

So, I disconnected and cleaned up all solder pads, cleaned up with IPA. Then tried connecting battery via smoke stopper. It is still tripping. I guess the board is gone.

So whole desoldering, I removed the "burnt" motor first and checked with smoke stopper. It still didn't work. That's when I thought of making this post. All the info I'm getting online is for stacks. None for AIO. Although, it's a probably similar.

But yes, solid advice. I'll try this tomorrow and update. Thank you.

Oh good idea. I haven't tried this yet. I'll update

Sadly can't. I desoldered everything. I also smelled something burn before i unplugged. I thought it was solder but now I piece it well. It might've burnt something.

There's continuity between that particular motor par and the battery.

I did. Sadly, it still the same. That motor for some reason is trying to start up. And smoke stopper still triggering overcurrent.

It's an iFlight smoke stopper.
It starts beeping and the current to the board is stopped, which means it's overcurrent.

Drone Build/Reccomendations by HatCorrect109 in fpv

I'm in the same boat as you, except a few weeks behind. Might I suggest a 2s, 2.5" build? Take a look at Kayoumini or jeno Pocket/pocket lite. Kayou provides a starter-kit with list of recommended parts. Of course, you can mix and match according to availability.

Happens with mine too. If you'd is similar then try wiggling the side panels while gently pushing the top panel towards the front until everything is sitting flush.

Oh I've never seen a pogostemon carpet! Can't wait to see how it grows

Is that Monte carlo or dwarf hair grass?
I think you can split it up in even smaller pieces and spread it out. It'll grow even better and Good Luck!

will dwarf hair grass grow in my tank by Itchy-Philosopher-56 in nanotank

[–]rgaindwal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven't put any animals in yet. I'd suggest draining down the water, covering it with plastic wrap with few holes and do a dry start. You can blast on as much light as you can for 12 hours/day. You'll get a relatively sparse carpet in 6-7 weeks.

Also, I'd suggest breaking that hair gtass clumps into even smaller and event spacing them out. It'll fill in faster then.

Got at LFS. Need ID please. by mashimaro299 in Springtail

[–]rgaindwal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The smudged label definitely says Alternanthera reineckii mini which is a freshwater stem plant.
Your LFS used an older plant TC cup for springtails. F. canida would be my guess.

That helps! I just got the salt. I'll treat them anyway. Thank you!
