Only Snails in here

Returned my breville smart grinder, and switched to light-medium roast instead of dark for the time being while I try and dial in pulling a decent shot

Working on cable management

Feeling discouraged about wasted beans, and wanting to instantly be good at this. I have been using my parents breville when I go to visit them for years now and decided to finally pull the trigger and jump into this…. Realizing i might be in over my head so if anyone could point me in the right direction on guides, that would be awesome. Fairly adept at using youtube to troubleshoot, but any channel recommendations or general resources would be awesome! Using a Gaggia e24 Pro, breville smart grinder, I have a janky water pump system using distilled water treated with TWW in a glass fermenting 2 gallon jar (I know it’s extra and unneeded)

Still have some cable management to do, Breville Smart Grinder Pro (hopefully people have SOME nice things to say about it), Gaggia Classic E24, Electric Water Transfer system (absolute over kill) , 2 gallon fermenting glass jar, so I can treat distilled water with TWW mineral enhancements. Please suggest anything I should change or things I can do to improve my setup.

Last photo is the 15 gallon vertical tank I broke down and moved the shrimp from

Ignore the Filter media in the tank, attempting an instacycle, cherry shrimp tank

Free to a good home / puffers / loaches (Local pickup only)

Hey everyone,
I’m breaking down my very first aquarium—a 15-gallon column tank. It’s gone through a lot of different iterations over the years, but it has officially become completely overrun by snails. They are reproducing way too fast for me to keep up with!
I’m planning to completely scrap the tank and start fresh. The only things I’m keeping are my shrimp, but all of the snails need to go.
If you are looking for some clean-up crew, or if you have hungry pea puffers, loaches, or assassin snails that need a feast, you are welcome to take the whole lot of them.
• Price: Completely free.
• Location: Los Angeles area (Local pickup only, not looking to ship them right now).

I’ve gotten plenty of rejections on workday applications and they are more clear than this, I am trying to figure out if this is a rejection. Or more of a hey we found some better candidates but if they fall through we still might reach out to you… which honestly I’d be happy with at this point

Good camera to start on? Anything cool in this collection? I attached the comically large lens just for the post
