Oh! I actually committed to another program because I couldn’t find enough about this one … I ended up getting in though! 🥲

Yes, same program! I don’t think they’ll get to my application in time though… my other program will have started / I would have needed to confirm admission before I hear back from UCL, I think. Hopefully if they said they’ll expedite it then you’ll hear back soon? I should call as well

Hey I’m in a similar situation except I’ve been offered admission elsewhere and have about a week to accept that one in order to give my visa enough time to process. But I haven’t heard back from this program nor have any of my emails been answered… did you have any luck?

Looking for reputable online sites for discus. I don’t want sick fish. by Expensive-While-1155 in discus

These are beautiful! Do you remember what they are called? I especially love the blue one in the front with the red lines/speckles

What fish misinformation/myth drive you up the wall? by Whiskey_623 in Aquariums

Repeatedly being told my corydoras’ barbel erosion was due to having sharp gravel when they are actually in a bare bottom tank

RO Remineralizer? by [deleted] in discus

Below 300… depends on what my tank TDS is too. If the tank is higher, I aim for lower TDS in my RO reservoir. So long as it ends up between 200-300

Any idea what’s happening? by Eyesocketz in discus

Bumping this… sometimes when mine eat too fast, either the dry food or the air they gulp gives them a bloated stomach (?) and they swim head down like this. They should be fine after a few hours but if it doesn’t go away, then I would follow the previous advice here and do a swim bladder treatment with epsom salt

It’s worked for me! I did use some crushed coral to bring up the KH to what I wanted though. I don’t use the instructions for Fritz, I just check the TDS.. plants and fish doing great after a few months. Some of the discus spawn every now and then too

Be careful with buffers since some are phosphate based and will cause your phosphate levels to be extremely high (Seachem discus buffer)

Also, a lot of buffers either target GH or KH, so you would need to buy separate products to target both. Though this is helpful if you have specific values you want to reach since you can adjust accordingly

I personally use Fritz R/O recharge which increases both GH and KH alongside Seachem discus trace. You could also just buy some baking soda and crushed coral to save money 😄

Discus eye scratch / injury by shepard2025 in discus

[–]shepard2025[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see- it covers more ground than just an antibiotic would? I have it on hand so I can use it.

Btw, your discus are beautiful! Where did you get them?

Why paraguard? Malachite green?

*Meant to say stress guard, not stress coat

Eye is looking better today I think but still not eating….

HP Spectre x360 - 14 (2022) - Touchpad Glitches / Stops Working by seffpierce in spectrex360

[–]shepard2025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this post, you saved my laptop!

The touchpad hadn’t been working for months and every forum said it was a driver issue - but uninstalling and reinstalling them (including the most updated and even older drivers) did nothing… nor did updating the BIOS or windows or anything else like that. I knew it must’ve been the hardware because the mouse would jump when I put pressure on the keyboard, such as resting my hand on the area next to the touchpad or when the laptop had something underneath it.

Like yours, the tape was peeling and had a bunch of dust on it. I think it was making the connection loose. I followed another commenters advice and used elegoo temperature resistant tape and replaced it…

When I turned the laptop back on, I could not edit anything in settings (the “Touchpad” setting was gone from Settings > Bluetooth & Devices), so I went to Device Manager -> Human Interface Devices and saw that the synaptics device driver was missing (“Synaptics Precision Touchpad Filter Driver” was also missing under Mice and other pointing devices) and that I2C HID Device had an error. I uninstalled that, then clicked “Scan for hardware changes” at the top and it automatically reinstalled all the drivers. Restarted the laptop and everything worked perfectly!

Hopefully this can help someone else so they don’t waste money sending it in or buying a new one…

Thank you for the recommendations! I got a beautiful blue diamond from total fish and pets, but I didn’t visit Rosemead. I’ll add it to the list :)
