    No @Streetwise I didn't need a new keyboard.. I bought this Retina MacBook Pro reconditioned, it supposedly had a new battery and 6 months later I started having flashing screens when I shut down. Took it in to Apple and they said the battery needed to be replaced, as it was swelling and had bent the hard drive! The case wasn't showing any signs of being pushed out. These hard drives must be flimsy now compared to what I remember. My keyboard was ok, they said it was a free recall and replaced it without mentioning it until I saw the invoice. I wore out some of the key caps on the old laptop and I know you can replace individually, but they told me they don't do that now and I would have to replace the entire keyboard. I had a feeling I was being taken advantage of and didn't agree to it.

    Impressed! Welcome, looking forward to your posts @Nathanael Watson

    @StreetwiseThanks for this info. I had to get a new battery this year and for some reason they replaced the keyboard at no charge... now I know why.

    13" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 Best laptop I've ever owned, I bought it new maxed out, one year past new in the box. It gave me 8 yrs and was a true workhorse. Unfortunately the motherboard fried and would cost $1000 to replace and still not be guaranteed. I replaced it with a 15" Retina 2015. The mid 2012's are still sought after as they were the last of the upgradable laptops. Treasure yours! @DShelton

    Bet he's loving the space, lots of exploring. I'd like to get a betta for each tank, I haven't really got a centrepiece fish for any of the the tanks, outside of the loach tank.

    Looking forward to seeing your fish. Welcome!

    Oh... they get bigger!

    Ahh.. you might be right @Fish Folk about the resolution. I usually have it set at default and they say editing on a retina screen is better done with a bigger image than returned to default. Thank you! https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7366693

    No, that's a field of dreams. If you plant it, they will come.... bees! I do Black-eyed Susans.

    I was wondering today if my bloodfins would get a long with a Betta, this answers my question.

    @FonskeAnd what is that fish called? Beautiful, but it makes me want to get out of the water!

    Thank you @Fish Folk I'm familiar with setting the screen resolution, but I don't think that's where the problem is. I have several thousand's of images that were crystal clear on my non retina MacBook Pro. When I transferred everything over to the Retina laptop, all the old photos became blurry in Photo app. This new Retina laptop doesn't make all my images look blurry, only the old ones from the first laptop, some of my best images. I've looked at the link below and it instructs to double the pixel length. This is the reasoning for the article "since our images weren’t sized for Retina Displays, b) our photos look bad on Retina Displays." https://www.amyandjordan.com/2015/education/blurry-apple-retina-display-images/ I have to resize thousands of photos? I would probably make duplicates and not mess around with the originals just in case. Like the article I thought I was in for a real treat but that's not the case. Those photos posted to the internet from and viewed from the old laptop always looked great. Now I can go back and look with the new laptop and they look like they have disintegrated in quality... it's weird! Now I'm wondering what other people viewing them think if they are using Retina Screens, as some of them can't be removed from the internet.

    I upgraded from a non Retina to a Retina Screen. All my previous photography that was crystal clear now comes in blurred in Photo's. Posting to internet sites that don't support retina screen technology will show the same poor quality until all sites upgrade I've been told. Thought the improvement to a higher pixel density would be glorious, I can't say I'm too excited and much preferred my MacBook Pro 13' Mid 2012, that had maxed out ram, and hard drive. The kids keep telling me to switch to PC but I was raised on Apple's since the 512's. Any opinions?

    A type of bog fly trap? That is awesome! You sure have a passion for plants. 👏

    I remember smelling onions when I was hiking grassy areas. I like to eat weeds too, chickweed, dandelion, wild cress, plantain and pick morels and chanterelles.

    I've always found if fish to get sick, it's generally something off balance with the tanks first. Having a check list isn't being OCD and observing every day can go a long way for preventative issues. Know your bio system and how it runs. Meds are generally a last resort for me, when I use them I watch and wait, and watch and wait some more before knee jerking and treating with something else. It's like going to the Dr and being given a dozen prescriptions.. if that doesn't work try this. They all have side effects and can be hard on our systems. If I have a fish that is wasting or pine-coning, I've found the likely hood of success is slim and stressing on the fish and owner, and I opt to kindly euthanize rather than drag it out for a week. Some fish are just bred poorly, I had a run of this with my first imported Bolivian Rams. I've never had any trouble with my home bred Rams. Back luck happens too. An example, my 2 day long enjoyment of a new Arabesque Pleco that broke my wallet, thought I would give her a nicer piece of driftwood for a cave not realizing she was attached to the bottom of the piece I was removing. Heartbreaking to learn she had dropped off and dehydrated on the floor. On a whole though, it's such a rewarding passion once you get it right.

    I started off with Amazon LED's and found the switches eventually go, so in the end they don't save you much money. I agree with the other members, Fluval 3.0 or 2.0 is the way to go. 2.0 will cost you less as it doesn't support wifi, but you can dim both high or low to your liking.

    That's quite a herd of snails!
