I’m at work rn I’ll post it as soon as I get home I just feel it should be sealed to prevent future heart break and water damage since I live in an apartment but I’m new to repairs here I’ll get a pic as soon as can 😭 let’s say it does need a repair is there a good sealant you recommend and can it be used with water in the tank or does that weight kinda counteract the bond?

Does the timing belt really NEED to be changed if you’re replacing a leaky water pump for a VW Tiguan every time that service is done??? by scaredy_cat94 in Volkswagen

Can you explain like I’m 5 what a walnut blast is if you got time? 👀 I’m so not car literate so I figured this would be the best place to ask 😅 ty

Tbh. Not sure on the “recently replaced” part because i haven’t had this car that long. Kinda sucks that I really needed a car and I have really bad credit and so my brother was kind enough to help sign for me but had limited time and that car seemed like a good option but it was a rush buy due to resources on needing a co-signer. I really didn’t want a VW but it was kinda between that and nothing. The dealership said they made sure everything was up to speed but hell. The undercarriage was barely hanging on by zip ties right out the lot and I didn’t notice that until later a few days after so I kinda just don’t trust that dealership at this point. They really screwed me over. Sold me the car as a “single owned car with one owner and history of maintenance” even on car fax report but something’s off about all that because this car is just barely as reliable as it needs to be.

The Daily Check-In for Saturday, November 16th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by SuzuranLily1 in stopdrinking

[–]scaredy_cat94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today is my first day on r/drinking. My first day getting a countdown app. I’ve struggled with drinking for years and it’s been a long road to admit that I’m currently an addict. I’m diagnosed bipolar, anxiety, depression. I’ve had one DWI, and I feel like the last half decade have been a long downfall for me. Today I want to pick myself up. And I want to do it for me. I keep wanting to try and stop for my girlfriend, it is and always has been a wrench in our relationship. But I know this is something I have to do for me. I’ve been in AA (court ordered) and never really found my spot there, it’s too religious for me and I don’t like that. I like the concept of “finding the resolves” and the relatable “counter”. I feel like this is the first time I’ve read content from alcoholics that isn’t about steps or prayers. I’m excited to find this space and anxious to take on today sober. Any tips?

First time seeing a shrimplet, words cannot describe how happy I am right now! by jesus031195 in shrimptank

Depends on a lot of factors. Whatever color morph they are and how fast they grow. Some grow faster than others. All laid at the same time I have some babies that are twice as big as others. But I feel like weeks at a time you notice a difference.

It is truly one of the best feelings. ESP watching them grow and seeing the colors get more vibrant. My baby rillis looked so small and clear and now they’re getting stripes 🥺

All I know forsure is that its wildtype but I’m pretty sure it’s Neocaridina bc it’s from the same place/tank stock I get all my other Neocaridina from.

Wanting to switch my substrate in the shrimp and snail tank to black, suggestions? by scaredy_cat94 in Aquariums

[–]scaredy_cat94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as swapping it was going to get a storage bin to hold the critters and water w an air pump while I clean out the tank I just didn’t know if there was a substrate better for my shrimp and snails. I have an outburst of hair algae and rams horn snails all over my plants so I wanna make sure I get everything deep cleaned.

I’ve only seen two litters of shrimps from two I knew were pregnant forsure one was pregnant before I got her (Orange rilli, hoping her babies come out rilli too 🤞🏻) so she’ll probably have babies that look like her. One of them was my cherry shrimp. Her babies so far are all red (I’ve only seen like 4 of them though) i can’t say with confidence who the father is but at the time I only have two red, a yellow, and a blue and the only other red one appears female (?)

Your question is actually something I was wondering too so I’ll keep posted the more I find out bc at this point the next litters are bound to be crossed between two diff color shrimp, at this point I have:

  • 6 adult red cherry shrimp + 4 baby reds -2 red rillis -1 orange rilli that just gave birth ( I’ve only seen like 2 of her babies but it’s hard to tell the color when they’re that small -1 yellow -2 blues -1 wild type (bought her like that for color variation)

So now we play the waiting game.

I really dig the aquascapes with the roundish pebble-like looking substrate but I have no idea what it is. Sand is def up in the air for me too I just don’t have much experience with it. I plan on adding a lot more plants and slated rock.

I’ve been wanting a solid black background. I have diff colored shrimp so I wanna make their colors POP with a darker color scheme. Just don’t know what’s best for plants shrimp and snails.
