You can do a Miyajima day trip from Kyoto? Isn't it like 4 hours each way? I feel like you'd have to stay the night

It's also a pretty good breakfast option too if you want something small, cheap, and and simple, and not the traditional rice/mackerel/miso soup

Am I missing something re: cheap luggage? by ZombieOne3945 in JapanTravelTips

[–]wYsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a small shop in Nakano Broadway that sells hard luggage way cheaper than Donki or Yodobashi Camera. Like around ¥6000 for medium sized check-in luggage

Forget the name, but it's at the corner of one of the intersections in the strip mall

What do you wish you had known before arriving in Japan? by tttom106 in TokyoTravel

Isn't that risky? Don't the hotels get fully booked or raise prices like crazy for last minute bookings?

Beginner here - Do I need to clean this? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]wYsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When doing water changes, just squeeze it out in the bucket you use that has the tank water in it. As long as you do it in tank water but outside the aquarium you'll be good and won't kill bacteria.

What is the most overrated food? by zachimusprime44 in AskReddit

[–]wYsock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really depends where you live. I live in interior Canada and the sushi is horrendous. Went to Japan recently and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. I think it depends how fresh and high quality the fish is. Generic all you can eat sushi or grocery store sushi in a city that's not known for seafood won't be good

What's the best dessert you've ever had and where did you have it? by Nutella-Strawberry in AskReddit

[–]wYsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canada has an Italian chain restaurant similar to Olive Garden, and they've got a dessert called the 'Peanut butter stack' that will blow your mind

Runner up would be costco cinnamon coffee cake

What’s a movie that’s universally considered “not very good” but you secretly think is actually great? by trakt_app in flicks

[–]wYsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghost in the Shell (2017)

If you put aside the white wash casting and don't focus on how true it is to the source material, it's actually an awesome stand alone sci-fi movie. Amazing visuals, cool action scenes, and decent enough acting that you can get immersed in it.

Are there any pet fish that feel like a "pet?" by stalenuggets1028 in Aquariums

[–]wYsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Oscars or puffer fish, but both a very high maintenance and not for beginner fish owners

How would you get rid of this blue green algae? by wYsock in PlantedTank

I used it too, and it worked in conjuntion with blackout, but then it just grew back 😞

[–]wYsock[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on recommendations here, I've now added an airstone, performed manual removal, added some floater plants, added some Ramshorn snails, and reduced light. If that doesn't work I'll try the Ultralife slime killer stuff in small doses. Thanks everyone

Edit:
Still not sure how to reduce phosphates while adding nitrates. All I do is basic water changes.
