Does it’s belly look pinched in?

Please refrain from making so many topics. This is considered spam.

I’d also point out essentially no one actually needs 4K video. Most people myself included need really good 1080 with great stabilization.

I have the same experience where I’ve never seen hydra do farm to my fry yet. Good news is that sparkling gouramis should eat hydra when they grow up.

With the business structure we have, and basically anyone who isn’t big business c Corp, There is no reason to lease a space to yourself when you own the business and the property.
let’s say I charge $3000 a month for the studio to the business. $3000 goes into my personal account after billing it etc. If I don’t charge myself $3000 for rent, that leaves $3000 in profit at the end of the year which gets paid out to me with no extra paperwork. I also don’t have to prove that none of the studio space is used for non business stuff.
As for what’s moving, all the fish, tote ponds, 800g computers, art and trinkets. Possibly some tanks depending on what size I decide.

If I was to do Android it would be a pixel. I’ve tried every Samsung/pixel that has come out over the last years and for me IPhone always wins out.

I am subscribed to your YouTube channel, but I'm not a member of your YouTube channel, so that means I can't vote in the poll, I think. Just thought you might like that odd bit of info, in case you didn't already know. 😏
This has nothing to do with members, purely subscribers.

Likely it's just something in the impeller, have you removed the intake and touched the impeller ?

I saw this thread as I was thinking about the easy planters. I just purchased 2 and they're awesome. I hope Cory can respond but what would be the chances of these coming in different colors such as greyish tone or black. I know it's a new product and you have to see how it sells. But what would it take to get you to consider something like that?
They'd have to be really popular to carry more colors, it's hard to keep it profitable and carry multiple variants like that. Once algae sets in , they tend to blend in well.

Yeah, especially if you soak it, it's much easier to work on when soggy.

Up at the top of the page you can toggle light and dark mode by using "change mode"

I don’t imagine it’s water with the cover but there is a small gap in the back, I’m at 8 months so I guess I’m out of luck there, I should have just got my light from the co-op to begin with (mistake I’ll only make once) i try and split between my local fish store but honestly it was just the initial investment that keep me away from the fluval and I knew the name finnex so I figured I’d get the slightly better one of those(or what I thought)kicking myself now wishing I just waited and saved up but I’m just gonna use the one I have for now it’s just hard to believe I’m a bit tight on cash right now all my tank money has came from $20 initial investment and a lot of donated time but I’m almost there I just can’t go and tie it all up at once, and and my next ones will be fluval and from the co op
Dang, I hate to see an expensive product like this have problems. Reach out to them anyway, they may help you. At my store when we did carry the finnex planted plus and such we personally warrantied them for 1 year. Even though finnex did only 6 months. We ended up having so many problems with everything but stingrays and the planted plus clip on light we stopped carrying any others from finnex 😞

Or did you mean to say "betta" ;)?
App for Android works great. Will test it out for a bit. Do you want to collect the feedback too or just send it straight to invision?
You'd send it directly to invision as we don't have any control over the app.

I'd wager most here are subscribed, but I'd like to see the percentage of people who actually have their accounts subscribed to the youtube channel. Also if you are not, a comment on why may be helpful for us.

Everything works great except the T airline connectors. Might be that they aren’t meant to be used with smaller airpumps but they didn’t work at all
In what way don't they work? I suspect this is a problem of how back pressure works and not how a T works. As unless it was leaking it's working correctly. If you don't use them with valves it's incredibly difficult to split a line as air will take the path of least resistance.

We pretty much never adjust the temperature to treat ich, so I'd say that yes it's totally feasible to do it without raising temp.
-
Not really, maybe let it sit 2 weeks empty before bringing new fish home. But since new fish should be quarantined and probably need meds, you'd likely kill off whatever is left in the tank disease wise.

Yeah that's the only thing I don't like about the danio erythromicrons is that they are so shy, they look amazing when they color up though.

Maybe once I finish moving I"ll get into this. I've been wanting to for 5+ years. Is it as simple as having a working 3d printer, then downloading those thingverse files and clicking a print button essentially?

We were accepted into the beta for the invision boards app. I haven't played with it much, it is different, and I have no control over it other than getting us into it.

Make it green and retail it for $28.34.
Lol I like your style. And call it the Troll Hose. It's worth it to not make money if it teaches a lesson 😛

I found it interesting that the Coop sells the python hook, but non of the other products. Why?
To get my tech tank setup, I needed to start shopping at the Coop, then from two other on line stores and finally Amazon.
I can certainly understand how Cory is managing his business. He could stock everything, but it must make business sense.
-
You must turn it over (sell it) at a rate equal to or higher than
- The cost of having it in inventory
- The cost to managing the stock (special care, handling, expiration date, etc.)
- The cost of shipping
- The cost and frequency of providing product support
- Quality of the product which reflects on the company selling it
- Reliability of the supply of the product to him
- The cost of researching and testing the product to see if it 'passes muster'
- The cost of just getting it into the system (generating a skew, updating the inventory and POS software, training staff, fining a spot for it in the warehouse ....)
And a bunch more things that I'm not thinking of.
Forums like this will certainly help Cory determine what folks are looking for.
Is there a way to 'vote' for these product such that Cory gets a better idea of the demand??
How about 'likes' for folks ideas?
Keep the ideas flowing!
Story time. I spend all day analyzing what people buy, and have what I feel is a good pulse on it. When it comes to something like the python 25 ft gravel vac system. You'd think it's a no brainer.
The reason we don't sell them online(we do sell them in store) is that we can't make any money and in fact lose money shipping them. Below you'll see a price list for the product, and the amazon price.
Our buy price, if we buy direct from Python: $28.35
Amazon's selling price: $33.41
MAP(Minimum Advertised Price): $39.99
You have to sign this form to order direct from python.
You can see that between my buy price direct from the manufacturer, and the selling price on Amazon it's $5. Now keep in mind I have to pay to ship them to our warehouse, so it's more like a $4 spread. Then when a customer pays with a credit card, that'll be 2.5% which is roughly $1, leaving it at 3. Now to ship the product, it averages 12 dollars and an odd shaped box and will crush live plants. Customer pays $5.99 shipping. This leaves me at negative 3 dollars for each sold, or if the customer spends $100. It leaves us at negative $9 for each one sold.
You think to yourself, but Cory, what if you write them, meet them in person at events and buy 10s of thousands of dollars at a time, surely a better price? Nope.
Ok Cory, but Amazon is selling it below the MAP, can't you get them to stop it? You'd think so, until you learn that Python sells direct to Amazon and therefore allows them to break map.
Why not sell the lees gravel vac? Same problem as Python.
Why not make your own? This is the route we'll end up going at some point, improve upon it and keep price reasonable will be the goal, and we'll put it on the list of all the other products we have this same problem with.
Unfortunately a lot of companies are very hard headed. "We don't sell directly to retailers" Then turns around and sells directly to Amazon and Chewys which are retailers. We get lumped in with other small businesses and not even given the chance to buy at the same levels. Companies assume we can't be selling as much as the big boys do. They don't understand we sell a limited selection of products in large quantities. These battles takes place over years. Emails with Pythons started in 2015. Each year we'd see them at their booth at Aquatic Experience, see them at Global Pet expo. Email them every 2-3 years, going just let us buy at a large quantity, we'll buy at Amazon/Chewys levels. We just run into the same answer.
You can probably sense my frustration in the post, it's an ongoing battle that we slowly get through over years and we are just in disbelief when they force us to find an alternative.

I'm not sure if it's the right "vibe" the problem is, I'm also terrible at knowing what the right vibe is lol. Jimmy is better at it than I am. Different vibes for different types of videos. I listened to a few others there, definitely a range. I'll see if I can get Jimmy to poke around on there, definitely high quality stuff there. Thanks.

Well since there is athe rock wool, there is a chance the roots/rhizome stayed wet enough. Likely all the big leaves will melt back, but still a chance to recover from that.

Plecos have scales, they are called armor catfish Because they have so many and often time large ones. That being said scaleless fish and being afraid of salts and med isn’t mostly a myth. Different species have different tolerances, but it’s not easy to lump “scaleless” fish together and all fish have scales. Some are just bigger and thicker than others.
