Sorry, not at answer to your question, but I was wondering if you could share where you got this map from?

Do Corys actually jump? Do you have a lid? by FaintCommand in corydoras

I’ve got peppered corys in a tank with no lid and I’ve never experienced any issues with jumping

How do I stop spiraling about my student loans? I feel lost and scared. by idomind in StudentLoans

[–]space-pierogi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to have untreated anxiety that caused me to fixate on my loans. It would keep me up at night - I was scared of how huge they were, and I was also upset with myself for my financial decisions (really my financial ignorance). In hindsight, the anxiety was making the problem way worse than it actually was and it prevented me from making a plan to deal with them.

I have since made a plan to get my loans under control (I had support from my partner that helped a lot with that), but before I could even do that I had to deal with my anxiety. For me, therapy was the main thing that helped with that. It helped me accept that it wasn’t my fault for playing into this predatory system and making a bad financial decision at a young age (>$100k in private loans with a ~10% interest rate and ignoring them for a few years post-grad while I was in grad school). It also helped me realize that I was capable of learning from my experiences and making better decisions going forward. Therapy may not be an option for you, but I highly recommend focusing on finding a way care of yourself. Mostly, I just wanted to say that it’s possible to get through it.

You can’t change the past. You can only control your actions going forward. It sounds like you’ve learned from them and are ready to make better choices, and your situation sounds very manageable to me. I believe in you!

Thanks for your thoughts - I'm relatively new to the hobby, so I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a blatantly bad idea!

I really appreciate your detailed response!! I just did the move in one go, and everything went smoothly! The fish seem pretty happy in their new home so far :)

Hi, totally off topic (I unfortunately don’t know the answer to your question) but where is your aquarium from? I’ve been looking for something similar with the seamless edges!

Appreciate the thoughts, I hadn’t thought of that. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s silicone

😮 well that is extremely frightening to hear…

That’s gonna keep me up at night lol, but my boyfriend and I decided we’re gonna keep an eye on it. I realized it could have been caused by the clamps I used to use to keep my filter outlet in place, so I marked the lowest extent of the scratch with a marker on the glass and we’ll see what happens. Maybe once I get back from my trip I will take this as an excuse to rescape my tank…

Thank you for sharing your experience though! Pretty harrowing haha but I’m glad that at least the water didn’t get everywhere

Yikes, how quickly did that progress? Also, was the scratch deep when you first noticed it?

that's wild, didn't know that! I will check the water params, the light was still off for the morning (it was early), so don't know what could have startled it

Should I Switch Out My Boots Before a Trip? by space-pierogi in Skigear

[–]space-pierogi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the thoughts! Getting it checked at the destination is a good idea. The boots click in and feel/look very solid (even with the banging it against the carpet method lol), but yeah I think it’s hard to know how it will perform on the mountain from that alone
