TIMOTHY H asked:
Has anyone here switched from regular electric water heater to the tankless hot water heater. If you have please answer if you could.
How much difference did it make on your elec. bill?
Were you able to install yourself ( I’m pretty skilled in electrical and plumbing, I’ve done alot of remodeling).
Have you had any regrets since you changed?
Is there a brand that I should stay away from?
Any other input is also appreciated. Thanks a million.

Ok, I have a 55 gallon predrilled tank plumbed with a surface skimming overflow, 10 gal tank beneath with a DIY wet/dry ish filter thats probably acting more like a cannister filter until I raise it as the bio media is completely submersed… this will be set up as Freshwater for now… I have a 25 lb bag of aragonite which I guess I shouldn’t use unfortunately… So I want sand not gravel, and I want plants….. SO What kind of sand do I use? How do I prepare it? Do I get substrate? (also what kind) and do I mix the substrate in with the sand or have a layer of substrate then a layer of sand on top? Also Does anyone know of a cheap do it yourself lighting kit? or solution? it would be 48″. I’ve found a few but they are FAR from cheap and I don’t really want to spend $100+ Like it would cost from petsmart.

Can mold actually grow INSIDE of your water pipes? If that were true, it would mean that anytime you used water, to wash anything at all or even to take a shower, you’d be getting moldy residue/spores all over yourself and everything you wash.

It would kind of defeat the purpose of ever washing anything.
Although come to think of it, it would also mean that everytime you drank the water, you’d get sick from the mold. So yeah, I can’t say I buy into the hype.

I don’t see how feminists empower women to make us equal. To me feminism, is just some excuse women wanted to be like men” and screw everyone and not be called hoes, other than that, what do feminists do to try to better women in general? I don’t see how screwing everyone is empowering or gains women respect, man or woman who are promiscuous are both the same. So what does feminism stand for really? Shouldn’t it be about getting an education, working hard for yourself, not having to rely on anyone, not wanting to be a housewife, etc…fyi, women can’t be like men either, I don’t care what anyone says, we dont have their plumbing or emotional capacity.
So wtf is this guy talking about?

I agree, that women should just be seen as human, but we shouldnt expect extra attention either and men and women should be treated fairly, although men still get paid more, and this guy doesn’t understand.
