I just bought these two for my tank, they are Macmasteri. I was told they’re male and female, and there’s certainly a size difference, but since they’re small that could just be room to grow.
What are the telltale signs?
Looking for advice from people who have been in this situation before, or similar.
Long story short I have invented a product and have built several prototypes and am ready to take the next step.
The product would be in a product category that’s worth $20b per annum and growing. You can only take my word at face value of course as I’m not sharing what it is, but I estimate this business would turn over $50-100m per year, with product raw costs of $3 and sell for $30-40. So highly profitable.
The problem. I am an artistic minded person. I’m a creative, not a businessman. I have no idea how to get this from the point it’s at to where it needs to be. I know I need help, but in what way?
Further to this, the products I make would need licensing. They’re leveraged off IP from other businesses. As a vague description, think making products with movie characters on it. (Not what I’m making)
So it would require lots of legal, contracting, negotiation etc.
My resources. I am friends with lots of high net worth individuals, many of whom are owners or founders of major Australian companies, so opening doors to investment is a possibility. I haven’t discussed or pitched this to any of them yet. But can leverage that at any time.
What I think I need -
While I’m aware any thing like this needs capitol to get going,In my mind, I need a startup professional to get this into a functioning business. A co-founder I guess.
I guess the question is, which path do you think I should take. Or do you have any tips.
Do I find someone to partner with, then find investment. Do I find an investor then hire someone to get it going.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Hey. I can get a good deal on a lightly used unit for a very good price. My current synology ds1815+ is a bit underpowered and slow and limited with what storage I can put in it.
The qnap looks good, but it’s essentially an 8 yr old nas.
I’d like over 100tb of space for storage. I’m a photographer/videographer and so mostly it’s going to be used as a large storage device. No streaming or VM’s etc.
Any things I should know about this device? I’ve read some reviews but they’re mostly 9 years old and I’m sure there’s been plenty of firmware updates since then.
The one I’m looking at has 10gbe and 64gb ram.
Just flew Cathay Pacific Milan to HK. I was curious as to what these markings were. It looks like they have been grinding/sanding the metal back, but then why the ID numbers. Maybe testing a coating? Tell me tell me. It’s been on my mind for the last 12 hrs
Guess I’m not eating any spring onions.
Location southern Australia
I saw a video about a year ago of a store/aquarium build. It was in either Japan, China or South Korea. It was a 3 storey building with a large internal opening atrium. They built some massive river style aquariums. I remember an outdoor shot of the building, it was near a harbour or river.
It wasn’t in English, and I stumbled upon it. My searches to find it have been fruitless.
I’m not sure if it was being built as a retail store, or as an aquarium, or an aquarium cafe.
Video went for at least 30 mins. Showed the construction of the tanks, setting up etc.
I’d really like to find it again and watch, and see if there are more update videos of the place.
If anyone knows the video that would be great, or even knows the place it was filmed that would help.
I have a 120g heavily aquascaped community tank. I have a breeding pair of bristle nose plecos with at least 100 babies. Catching them with a net is proving difficult. I have caught 20-30 of them to move to their own grow out tank, but the rest are proving to be quite tricky.
The only way I could think of to get them all is to siphon them out with a hose. This should be very quick and efficient.
Is this considered humane? I feel like this would probably stress them out less than chasing them with a net. I’m worried some might latch on inside the tube. I have clear tube, but still.
Love to hear thoughts or experiences
I have a lot of baby bristlenose plecos. The tank is 120g 4ft and lots of hiding places. I’m guessing there are over 100 of them. Obviously these guys can’t live here forever, I plan on giving them away. But what to do until then. How long until they’re good to re home on their own? At the moment they’re about 1cm -1.5cm in length.
I do have an old 40L tank that’s empty, I could set that up and move them over now but Will probably take a few weeks to get ready.
I’m thinking it’s best to start collecting them now before they become more elusive.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have a booking through Cathay Pacific in July which includes a flight from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Just logged into Cathay to check something and I see my Q flight has been cancelled, so they have re-booked me on an earlier flight.
Being curious I checked Qantas’ website and see the ‘cancelled flight’ is still selling tickets.
I’m curious, is this a flight Qantas have earmarked for cancellation due to costs, but haven’t officially or publicly cancelled it, only notified their partner airlines. Or do we think it’s them being dodgy and selling tickets to a flight that’s never going to happen? Or maybe the issue is Cathay rearranging.
I’m not sure how to articulate this question. To an ant I’m a giant, but to an elephant I’m small. Does vision and perception of size change as we get larger. So does a car appear the same size to a toddler as it does to an adult? Is it even measurable? Or is it all in our head relative to our own size.
If we take movies as an example, someone is shrunk down, the world around them appears enormous, but would it? If you could be shrunken down to 6 inches tall, but were lifted up to 6ft high, would things still appear the same size from the same perspective?
