I'd get some Humic12 and paint it black in the middle with a pump sprayer. Then spray around the non yellowed parts with RGS. Had something similar happen to my bermuda. Don't know what the work crew spilled in my grass but, what I mentioned above worked and is back to normal after a few weeks. I get all my yard stuff from Here

Doing a little bit a research today it seems that I have a small infestation of Wooly Aphids. That pic I sent was of one bug. My phone camera just couldn't get a clear pic that zoomed in on something so small. Guess I'll give the neem oil a try. I was curious as to why I had a ton of ladybugs around too. Seems to be their natural predator.

Anyone know what these little fuckers are? They seem to be sucking all the life out of my boxwood leaves. Never seen them in my life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haven't posted pics in awhile but I ended up having to tear down my scaped 20gal due to getting the VID back at the end of February in to March. Had a nice little weeks hospital stay with COVID pneumonia which lead to the decline of my tank trying to get back to 100%. Ended up moving to a new house in June and got the itch to start it up in our office. Decided on a different layout this time and go for a spider wood river bed theme. Probably stick with easy to moderate plants like anubius, bucephalandra and mosses this time. I've still got some playing around to do but, I'm digging this layout more than the other.

If anyone is interested in USFL Tees, this site has a good assortment of them. USFL

Signed the contract today for the 15k over asking no show. Had 5 showings yesterday and 7 today just in case. Surprised no one tried to compete with it since houses in this area are going quick with lesser upgrades. We're in a cul-de-sac, no rear neighbors with the house backed up to the woods, well maintained landscaping/house and I think reasonably priced.

We’ve definitely put the effort in to staging our home. I’d say our house looks better in person than in photos but that’s just me. The party that put the offer down had the realtor come out only. Looks like they faced timed them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Listed our 6yr old home here in Pearland on the west side of 288 this morning. 5 viewings just today, none for tomorrow, yet (I think that will change come morning time) and one for Saturday. First showing we received a site unseen 15k over asking offer. Realtor facetimed them from what it looked like on our security cams. We knew things were nuts but, I honestly didn't think it would be straight out of the gates like this. When people put in an over asking offer like that, are they trying to set the tone and weed out the low ballers? This is my first house to sell so I'm new to it all.

Traded in my 18 F150 STX last night and upgraded to the 21 XLT Sport FX4 Texas Edition with the 302A package. Pretty much fully loaded for an XLT, minus the panoramic moon roof. Waited on the dealer for almost the whole week to find what I actually wanted once they realized the truck I came in for wasn't there anymore. They ended up finding this one in East Bernard. Had the V8 in the STX but this one came with the 3.5 Eco Boost. All in all I'm pretty impressed with the features and new styling inside and out on the 21's.

There's enough micro transactions of people buying blueprint bundles for the AUG/M16/FFAR/MAC-10 and Rose Skin right now at $10-$20 a pop since that's about anyone is running in this god forsaken game right now. I started playing with my old loadouts of the Fennec/CR56 Max or MP5/CR56 Max. I understand people want to play with the best guns, but wholly shit. There's no originality. I melted a guy from 200m away with the CR56 and heard on the kill game him wondering what gun I was using. It's the 2nd best AR in the game! People and the developers have just gotten lazy, IMO.

I work on a pipeline here in the Houston area that was able to capitalize this week on high prices. We winterized all our instrumentation and took the necessary steps to keep from freezing up. Centerpoint did freeze up a few times at their regulator stations downstream of us which caused higher flow rates, but nothing major. Our line isn't the biggest (size and volume wise) compared to the big dogs (Kinder/HPL/etc) but we managed to feed a lot of city gates this week.

It's in Midstream LNG measurement.

So I just got an opportunity to possibly take a position with Phillips 66 in the Gulf Coast region this morning. With all this talk, y'all think it's safe to move jobs right now?

I think he's gone. Too much smoke around for something not to go down. Hate to say it, but I think JJ probably played his last game in Reliant as well.

So here's a 42 day update on the tank after a horrible bout with diatoms that never seemed to subside. If you see in the main tank pic I still have some cleaning to do on the inlet pipe in the back but my pipe cleaner couldn't reach and make the turn to get it. May end up taking that skimmer inlet out and swapping it with a non skimmer type. Decided to re-scape the middle section due to not really feeling the la plata sand and planted more HC Cuba along with acicularis mini, so hopefully those carpet together nicely with each other. I know they said HC Cuba was a pretty hard carpeting plant to grow compared to the more popular Monte Carlo but mine seem to have taken off once they established in the substrate. The java moss on the tip of the rocks got consumed by the diatoms and had to rip that out unfortunately. New plants I added for different textures were alternanthera reineckli mini, marasilea hirsuta and anubias mini. For the livestock I have 4 Oto catfish, 3 zebra nerites, 4 cherry red shrimp, 4 amano shrimp and 2 pinto shrimp. Hoping to see some babies soon from them. I'll probably let the tank run for another month before adding my last school of fish which I'm thinking will be some type of tetra.

Just did another water test today and it's looking good to add the CUC. Ammonia 0 ppm/Nitrites 0ppm Nitrates 5ppm. Diatoms are growing like weeds right now. I'll probably do a 25% water change today and tidy up a bit before adding the shrimps and snails.

I'm not sure what the level was. I used a bottle from the LFS to quick start the cycle. I was averaging about 8ppm those first few weeks and yesterday was my first 0ppm. I've been using RO/DI water and remineralizing with equilibrium and alkaline buffer since I need the water soft and slightly acidic. My tap water is too hard to run what I'm wanting to do. Yeah, moving when you have tanks is a bummer. That's the main reason why I closed up shop on my nano reef years ago. It becomes problematic when you've got sensitive coral or certain species. Once I'm in my final home I'm thinking of doing a large sw tank.

So I'm close to the end of my tank cycle. Ammonia 0ppm/Nitrites .5ppm/Nitrates 40ppm. Got a good sized diatom bloom going on now, so I will hopefully be dropping in some sky blue velvet shrimps and a mix of tiger/zebra/horned nerite snails to chow down by next weekend if the parameters look good. I'll get some pics up once the critters are in and the tank doesn't look like a bomb went off.

I'm assuming you mean the Centerpoint electric side, correct?

So got the tank set up yesterday evening. Pics are from today after the cloudiness of the equilibrium and beneficial bacteria cleared. Planted some hemianthus callitrichoides "cuba" for carpet, bucephulandra red mini, staurogyne repens and some java moss on the tips of the rocks. May add a few more plants once everything gets settled. This thing will always be a work in progress I feel. Went with black mountain seiryu stone hard scape, ADA amazonia aqua soil with some ADA La Plata sand in the middle. Probably add live stock slowly in a few weeks once I have the CO2 dialed in and my parameters are stable. Still need to install my power strip higher up and get my timers installed. Over all I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and hoping it grows in to what I envisioned.

I was looking at them for livestock not to long ago. Seems they are out of stock on a bunch of things like most online vendors. Might split up purchases from them, Aqua Hun and Live Aquaria.

We got my daughter a beta a few months ago. I'll probably end up throwing him in there too to get out of the 5 Gal tank.

Probably go with an assortment of fish. I see too many planted tanks with one species in a large group. I'm looking to do a community tank with leopard tux male guppies, a yellow king tiger pleco, blue emperor tetras and peppered cory cats. May throw in a few red crystal shrimp too.

Decided to get back in to the aquarium scene this week. Had a JBJ Nano cube reef for a few years, but dismantled it once my kids came in to the equation. Now that they're a little older I can set some time aside to tend to a tank and introduce them to aquariums like my dad did with me. Decided to do a planted aquarium this time. Picked this setup at Aquarium Design Group here in the Pearland/Houston area. Went with a 20G rimless/Eheim Classic/Twin Star Light II LED/Lily Tube w skimmer. Going to dose it with Pro-SE series CO2 system with in line diffuser. Hopefully that will be in this week and will head back to the store to scape the tank. I never realized how expensive freshwater was going to be, but it's worth it once it's up and running.
