I have had tons of freshwater fish throughout the years and have been incredibly successful and now I want to get into saltwater because at this point I honestly find the saltwater tanks more appealing. I know most people say you should start large because its a lot easier to keep it stable but I am going to college soon and they have a limit of 10 gallons for any pet fish rule. I want to get a reef tank that I can bring with me that is an all in one setup. Do yall have any suggestions? I was looking at the fluval evo V but it just seems a little too small tbh. Any suggestions would be great. Also what corals do y'all suggest that would be colorful and not outgrow the space I put them in. Additionally what could I put in the tank besides maybe a clown, a shrimp, some crabs, and snails?

Any suggestions y'all have or resources that could help me learn would ne great, thanks!

My angel fish keep laying eggs and raising them to swimmer size so I keep having to take them out of their community tank and put them in a spare 10 gallon I have so its to the point where I've got 3 different spawns all growing out together in there (I will move them to a 30 soon) and its literally probably 200-300 babies. Would local shops buy them from me in bulk or what??

If anyone in Charlotte NC is selling or giving away any freshwater plants, floaters, snails, shrimp, aquarium lights, lids, or filters please let me know I am in the market!

I grew up in a Presbyterian church that's part of the PCA, and I've visited many other Protestant churches over the years. Not a single one of them has ever made me feel anything even remotely close to what I experienced when I walked into St. Patrick's Cathedral in downtown New York.

I actually dislike New York much more than the average person. All I could think about outside was the giant crowds, the noise, and the smell. But the moment I stepped into that cathedral, it was like entering a completely different world. The building itself was truly awe-inspiring, and the choir music only added to the experience. I honestly think I could have sat there for hours.

It made me wonder why so many Protestant churches seem to lack that same emphasis on beauty, architecture, and sacred art. Historically, Christianity produced some of the world's greatest works of art, music, and architecture, yet many modern Protestant churches feel almost indistinguishable from conference centers or school auditoriums.

I know there are historical reasons stemming from the Reformation, concerns about idolatry, and a desire to keep the focus on the preaching of the Word. But have many Protestant traditions gone too far in the opposite direction? Is there a theological reason for this, or is it mostly the result of modern culture and practicality? Is it just because producing things of that magnitude would be way too expensive these days? I'd especially be interested in hearing from Protestants who appreciate their tradition

I have been attending a fairly conservative Presbyterian church in the PCA for my entire life, and I'm there almost every Sunday. Looking back, I genuinely cannot recall a single time when a pastor has really emphasized sins like gluttony or sloth, except maybe in passing.

It seems like these sins are almost completely swept under the rug, while other physical sins—such as lust, adultery, and homosexuality—tend to dominate discussions about sin.

Additionally, it is the church's responsibility not to place people who are openly living in unrepentant sin into positions of leadership. I'm not sure that's the best way to phrase it, so please don't get hung up on the wording, but the point is that no church would knowingly appoint someone who is openly cheating on their spouse to serve as a pastor, elder, or deacon.

Despite this, it seems like there are many obese people serving in churches as pastors or in other leadership roles. I'm not saying that everyone can control their weight, or that there aren't many circumstances in which someone can become overweight through factors outside of their control. However, I have personally known many people in church leadership who are obese because they consistently overconsume and make no real effort to change their habits, yet nobody seems to have a problem with it.

I'm not really asking a super specific question, and I'm certainly not claiming to have everything right on this. I just wanted to hear y'all's thoughts on the subject.

Ok a couple quick questions I have not been able to find decent answers to.

First what do I need to wear when I am using chemicals. My main concern is bleach slashing on me. Should I wear pants, boots, long sleeves, gloves, glasses, and a respirator or is any of that total overkill?

Secondly I am looking into getting an x jet or a knock off that is similar. Is it worth shelling out the $180 and just knowing it’s gonna be quality or should I start with something cheaper and if so what should I get? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Finally any tips yall have for getting more jobs would be great(meta ads, door knocking, signs)

Thanks so much guys, any answers are appreciated

Ok so I had a lot of clutter around my house so I hired this junk removal company I found on instagram! The owner (Only worker) of it is this really nice highschool student who said he is trying to make money to go to college and asked if I could spread the word about his business! So i thought I would go on here and give him a shoutout! his website is willjunkremoval.com but I think you can also just text him too. He was really nice and affordable so I just wanted to help him in any way that I could!
