What is this cloudyness?

It may be hard to see but theres a persistent white cloudyness throughout the tank, im thinking it might be from the gravel i used but i really dont know, i used old filter media to jumpstart the cycling but most of what went into the water was darker and cleared up fast, whereas this white cloudyness has been in here since i first filled it with water i believe three days ago, if anyone could help i would appreciate it

How to know exactly when a tank is cycled?

I know this question has probably been asked a dozen times but i think my situation is unique enough, and my experience is low enough that i couldnt find exactly what i need on google. I have one existing fish tank, had it for a few months now and its doing really well. Im setting up a second, its a 10 gallon with rooted plants, floating plants and two filters (no real hardscape besides gravel substrate, yet). I used some liquid beneficial bacteria, dropped some algae wafers and took sponge filter media from my existing tank and swished it around in the water. I only have tetra 6-in-1 testing strips (that dont test ammonia) and cant afford a nice testing kit. Its only been cycling for a handful of days so far but i imagine it would be ready in a few weeks. How exactly can i know for sure in this situation? Thanks and sorry for the possibility repetitive question.

Need help, no idea what to do right now

My 3d printer is a Weedo Tina2s V12, one of those temu brand 3d printers so i know its not the best, but this is crazy and i dont know how to fix it. Ive been having extruder issues and was going to replace the nozzle and was having trouble removing the tube from the hotend. Turns out, the tube is like fused to the hotend, not completely but its hard to take a photo of. Is there anything i can use to clean it without buying a new hotend (besides getting a new 3d printer, lol) thank you!

Edit: also thought i should mention ive tried unscrewing the nozzle, i cant get it to budge at all, so taking the nozzle off first may not be possible

I wanna explore radio stations but dont know where to start

I watched a video recently about radio pirates and mysterious radio channels/broadcasts, and its really intriguing but i dont have any knowledge of radios and dont know where to start. I would like something small and cheap to start with, wether it has to be plugged in or uses batteries, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, thanks!

First ever car WIP for gaslands, tips / advice?

Been wanting to try this for awhile now so i just decided to send it. I cut out all the windows, painted the bumpers and roof black, changed wheels, painted in the headlights and front chrome accent, and added "metal cages" all around. I 3d printed the gun because i dont have any sort of random pieces since im new to model building and stuff. I have a black and silver paint pen and some rust colored paint, i do like how this car looks, but i feel like theres more i can do to it but not sure where to go from here, any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
