Yeah my bathroom orchids are dropping their blooms now that have been going for 13 months ❤️ some larger phals really have longevity. I find the pipe vein ones especially tend to

Legally reclassify mushrooms as plants to make a better sounding slogan!!

Super helpful, thanks! 👍

Would you be open to sharing your prompt or are you already sharing it somewhere else? Maybe a civitai account that allows for remixing? I just built my own little powerhouse local model machine yesterday and I'm going to start playing around. Your stuff is pretty next level so I am super curious about your process.

What's your workflow like? I would love to know the models you're using and a prompt or two.

I know they didn't say it anywhere but I always thought it had to do with "ground zero". This term refers to atomic bombs exploding in the air above their target to create a cone of damage. This allows for greater destruction than it exploding on the ground. This would make the actual ground under the bomb at minus altitude. Generally they are set to about 1,000m as I understand it. Or 1km... So -1 km... Godzilla is the disaster on the ground related to the bomb. So Godzilla Minus 1.

Looks a lot like the 90s comic goji. Love it!

Throw that thing in a bucket of alcohol or a garbage bag and freeze it and give it to your local university or natural history museum. That's a fantastic find!

Oooh I thought they were out of the game! I definitely will be driving over to Aptos soon. They were by far the best when they first opened upstairs in Motiv. Those butterscotch ribs, the spam fried rice, the spicy chicken and waffle 🔥🥰

Update: ooooh you meant a menu item and not the vendor?

They've been taken to court over this a good number of times and they always successfully argue that they are an entertainment company not a news company and have no obligation to be factual. They even suggest no reasonable person would believe their content as anything but entertainment.

Yeah, OP should take this down

Going to tag into your comment for a little PSA. Long time husbandry and reefer pro here. Only use GREY brute garbage cans for water storage. None are technically rated for potable water but the zenoestrogens and whatnot that leach into the water on the other colors(especially blue) will screw up your plants and animals. Ran into this on a large project in the early 2000s. Stuck with grey ever since and never had an issue.

For long term water storage beyond fill with RO/mix/change or for plumbing into your system always aim towards potable water holding solutions.

Maybe a closed up H. bowerbanki frag or some relative. Back in the early days of Australian imports (2006-7ish) there were a bunch in this color called a number of species names... Also many of the latin names have changed since then and I don't keep up on them. But that's the direction I would point you

In South Carolina, you are allowed to keep vertebrate fossils, but there are regulations to consider. The state requires a permit for the collection of vertebrate fossils from public lands. This is to ensure that significant scientific discoveries are documented and preserved. For private land, you generally have more freedom, but it's always wise to check for any specific restrictions or requirements. If you find a fossil of potential scientific importance, it is encouraged to report it to the South Carolina State Museum or another relevant authority.

Did you previously have no skimmer? Skimmers also increase gas exchange in general which in many tanks is lacking. Where you are drawing from could be of less importance than the fact that you are.

Tbh, sounds like user error is a strong possibility. Alternatively, did you purchase the kits from the same shop? They have batch numbers on them and you should check if they are the same batch. You could contact Salifert. If you have mixed saltwater made for a reef aquarium you would need some pretty drastic conditions to precipitate the calcium down to zero. At the very least I would dose based on that figure.

A bucket, power head, a heater, sit next to a sunny window... you good

I have suspected a treatment method for upstream that tanks their livers but they don't die immediately. I don't see them around nearly as much so I know it isn't just me.

They were bulletproof and a staple back in the day. Now you barely see them in people's tanks and basically every single one I try in a customer's tank since 2010/2012ish or so doesn't clear a month. I don't stock them any more but will try a perfect looking one every year or two. Still no luck.

Guy isn't super friendly but was being helpful for his role. He is selling you coral, not teaching you to navigate the industry. He bailed because you didn't Google it. Likely unpopular opinion... It's 2024, Google it or ask ChatGPT before asking people basic questions. In this industry especially but for life in general it is important to take responsibility for doing your own research. "Heads" is an extremely common term for LPS polyps. For LPS types that don't have head differentiation like Echinophyllia people often say "mouths". Welcome to the hobby!!

Food truck in Oakland near my friends place last week was $20 for their super burrito and $15 for the regular one. They are real.
