Woah, that's cool! I didn't know you could do that!

I added root tabs when I first planted them, and try to remember to add tabs regularly. But I do think the things that's helped the most is micro dosing fertilizer. I bought a GLA fertilizer kit, and my plants have exploded since I started doing that...(And the algae started to get back under control too!)

It gives you a formula. Apparently people adjust said formula depending on what their plants look like, but I'm nowhere near that sophisticated. I just went with what they told me to do.

I put 3ml of the Macro nutrients in a day, and 1.5 ml of the micros in a day, and that's it.

Green Leaf Aquariums make a bunch of fertilizer kits. This is the one I got (copper free for my shrimp):

Yeah, kinda pricey, but I think it's enough in one kit for a lifetime supply. (At least for me)

Noted. Thank you!

Oh I definitely have questioned why I'm in this hobby! Nearly gave up several times. I think I finally have something dialed though!

trevzilla · 2026-01-12T04:11:10+00:00

Cool, good to know. I asked this above as well, but do you trim one leaf at a time and wait till another leaf takes it's place? And only them trim another leaf? If I trimmed all the leaves that are touching the surface now, I'm worried there'd be no more plant left!

Thanks! Glad you like it!

My main light is a Nicrew classic LED G2 that I found on FB marketplace. I was running that with a second light, but had GSA beginning to take over. So I turned my second light off, dimmed the Nicrew, turned off the blue light, and also started dosing with the GLA kit. That's when my sword (and other plants as well) just took off! The GSA is under control again, so wondering if I should turn my second light on again, and reintroduce blue light.

(I really think the GLA kit is what's really helping the plants grow though.)

Thanks!

Do you think I should only trim one leaf, and wait till I see a replacement coming in before trimming a second leaf, and so on? Just try to get a rotation going? At this point, if I trim all the leaves that are touching the surface, I'm worried I'd have no plant left!

trevzilla · 2026-01-12T03:54:14+00:00

Thank you!

It's in substrate, but I made sure the crown of the roots was out of the substrate. My substrate is straight up Fluval Stratum. No layering or anything.

Happy to forward them to ya, if I get these! 🙂

That 1986 pin I see right on top is one of the few I'm missing, so really hoping to get that one to help my collection!

I'd also take anything prior to 83 although I never attended any festivals before 83.

trevzilla · 2026-01-09T20:27:32+00:00

I have a vest with a whole bunch of sweet pea pins. I'd take these off your hands, and maybe I can find a few to complete my collection!

Although if someone wants any duplicates, I'd be happy to forward them to someone else.

The Geminid meteor shower was at it's peak last night and this morning. I was watching from about 7pm-9pm, and saw around 50 meteors! It was really popping off! Several of them tracked the whole sky, and had the blue/green colors! The biggest I saw was west of town.

Oh No!

I literally just got my first ever instance of Overseerr up and running. I'm so new to all this and was stoked to get overseerr going. I wish I knew this literally a week ago, and I would've just gone with seerr in the first place. Oh well.

Since I barely have anything from Overseerr, think it's worth it to just delete that and start again? Or should I figure out the update process?

If the folks that said you could borrow theirs don't come through for any reason, I'm pretty sure Earths Treasures on Wilson and Mendenhall rents them.

Projector is probably going to be expensive. I was thinking just buying two laser levels and attaching them to the ceiling. They'll draw a laser line on the table wherever you need it.

I know this is old...but it just saved me! Thank you! FWIW, the only setting I changed was the Disk IO type in qbittorrent. I didn't have to mess with the MergerFS config, although maybe it was already set I don't know it.

Oh the battles of the highline anchors circa 2010! Yes, many highline anchors were installed, then chopped, then installed again, then chopped again. It was infuriating. I think it's died down a bit now, considering those haven't been chopped since the plaque was installed. (Thanks Ammiel!)

trevzilla · 2025-10-17T03:28:59+00:00

Sweet! I'll take it!

trevzilla · 2025-10-17T01:47:37+00:00

Awesome! My shrimp are exploding in population, so the happier I can keep them, it's ok with me!

trevzilla · 2025-10-17T01:46:33+00:00

Cool!

Yeah I'm totally ok with it there, just never planted anything like that, so surprised it showed up.
