HarryPotter Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 There's bubble algae covering two snails and I can find one or two bubbles on the rocks. I need a plan of action. I'm thinking trash the 2 snails and vacuum the two bubbles on the rocks? It was probably introduced on the new snails Link to comment
Jorgieee Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Good luck ! I used emerald crabs when I had the issue and it worked out fine. I would suggest you don't pop them because it will spread. Try and twist them off with out popping them and suck them up with a turkey baster if you have one. Link to comment

There's two snails covered in it, I might just toss those if that's not too evil. What do you think? Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 yeah I would toss them. Tossed the two snails that were covered. I don't feel like getting the two bubbles off the rock tonight- tomorrow. The tank hasn't had a hand it in it for over a week Link to comment

charnelhouse Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 the 35ppt thing is probably where the confusion comes in. But that's parts per trillion I'm pretty sure... Link to comment

Jorgieee Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Im blue! That little WWC cap is standing out like a sore thumb ! ! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 That little WWC cap is standing out like a sore thumb ! ! So gorgeous, no? Its an incredible graft that can be seen extended with its growth. The plug is almost completely covered now! Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Okay then I have a question. What can I use to insulate soldered connections from the elements? My quadcopter shorted out after landing on wet grass and I lost a motor. I tried plastidip but it peeled over time, and hot glue doesn't work since it connects the lead terminals. This is the part in question (Old photo, but shows where the trouble started). Don't know if the quadcopter is fixed yet but when I take my little 250 size racer out, I water proof them by using epoxy potting compound. I raced them in all types of condition and the electronic have remained safe Link to comment

Thats a compliment, right? haha Any suggestions for the left rock? I don't love the encrusting cap at the top Don't know if the quadcopter is fixed yet but when I take my little 250 size racer out, I water proof them by using epoxy potting compound. I raced them in all types of condition and the electronic have remained safe Havnt gotten around to it yet. Ill look into that! Do you use yours VFR or FPV more? Link to comment

The one on top of the cap? if so yeah it doesn't look very nice. I would just leave it there a little longer and see if you can get some better colors from it. If not trade it maybe? Link to comment

Harry, your solder joints need a bit of work. Looks like too cool of an iron and/or you rushed it. They should be shiny and smooth, not all dull and lumpy. Link to comment
charnelhouse Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Parts Per Thousand Derp... trillion would be very unsalty I guess.... Link to comment
PicoSavvy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I do fpv more for the racer mainly the 250, but the smaller ones sub 200 size I do vfp for the most part. Here is the one I am currently working on. It is a 180 size and it is being repair, one my friends that does high altitude fpv convinced my to let him attach it to his plane and have it drop at an altitude of 5000 feet, everything fin and for some reason 10 second after drop it lost signal and after that it was a stright drop to a tree, broke an arm and lost 2 motor. Here it is in my hand for size comparison. This is also one of the distraction that stops me from completing my pico Link to comment
