Experiences appreciated.
Figured I'd update this as a progress note.
So I've been dehydrating organic kale, spinach, and romaine. Never realized the time it takes to do this. To dry out, pre-freeze drying, takes about 24 hours and the leaves take a lot of space in the dehydrator, so its been about 7-8 days to dry out...
Comon Kev,
You know as well as we all do that once you add the water and fish it all goes downhill.
There's tons you can do with models and mirrors now-a-days.
Just wanted to add here, in case you go the Krylon route.
The cause of problems with paint insn't the paint itself, its the VOCs the paint gives off while curing.
Technically you can use any spraypaint, it just has to fully cure and that's usually where concerns are.
Krylon is the paint most...
Base is going to start as a phyto/zooplankton suspension with freeze dried cyclops and rotifiers, then we work up from there.
Ran some nutritional profiles on various seaweeds and I can incorporate 3 types (Alaria/Wakami, Chondrus Crispus, Laminaria) to cover the majority of the needs of the...
Unsure. RIght now its about getting it done.
I'm using AB+, and some frozen, and the occasional flake or pellet for variety, and the occasional seaweed sheet, occasional reef roid type mix, etc...
Just want one thing I can drop in the tank that covers all bases.
I'd like to say its because I'm...
I do have a few professional (related) degrees, one of which is nutrition (though used as much as a square hockey puck).
In the frustration over buying multiple foods, and the delving into the occasional making my own, I figured I'd try to come up with a food I could freeze dry (I have the...
Have used Fusion many times in the past. My previous sump on my 90g had fusion painted parts in it for years. Never flaked, never caused a porblem that I was aware of.
Heres my redundancy system / failsafe (ha!) method for protection…
Instead of a 200-250w in my current system I have 2x 150w.
#1 is connected to an Inkbird controller.
Controller is set to 78, as is the heater itself.
#2 is in sump, also set at 78.
So…
If #1 tries to stick ‘on’ it has the...
Hope you all eat and drink yourselves into a stupor and lounge out staring at the TV or wall with your pants unbuttoned and the inability to incite movement.
EDIT: Wow, that sounds sorta Cosby, let me revamp...
Hope you all have a blast and eat and drink yourselves into a stupor.
New/old living room tank is up.
Got a few montis and zoas.
Looking for:
purp stylo (lost all mine in crash)
a basic colorful stick or two (slimer, stag, etc)
perhaps a couple shrooms (simple ones, not Ulti-orange Omega Snot Bounce Galactica Fartblasters)
perhaps a couple cool encrusters
I have...
I've got a 29g in the gargae you can have for free.
Its not drilled, but can be, or it can be used as a sump depending on how big your main tank is going to be.
So, Brick Petco has always been good to us and Andrew, Annie, and the rest of the crew know many of us by name.
Apparently, we had a member, or a member claimee, enter the shop before closing recently.
He claimed he was from the NJRC, was entitled to a discount, and that he knew 'Mark', who was...
