What about the Deanna torture episodes?

Just a thought since we do love how the series have treated our every-man Miles, what about Deanna? Off the top of my head:

  • Alien energy makes her pregnant
  • Alien consciousness takes over her body and a few of them take over the ship
  • Telepath makes her super horny and she ages rapidly
  • She loses her empathic abilities and isn't sure what she's good for without them
  • She becomes a cake
  • She devolves into a (fishy?) prey species

I bet there are more, but these are the ones I could think of quickly.

What's fouling the ph probe I use in my aquarium?

First sincere apologies if this is the wrong community, I don't have lab science friends to ask about this.

Over the last few months my ph probe has been working well, then over a few days it started to drift down to reporting a ph of 2-3 instead of the 6-7 I would expect. There are so many cleaning procedures out there for ph probes, and knowing how to clean them depends on knowing what is causing them to foul.

I tried using generic probe cleaning solution, 0.1M HCL, and even just a light detergent. Nothing has worked so far.

I was reading that black spots on the ceramic could be from sulfides. And this probe is used 24/7 in my aquarium, where I dechlorinate freshly added water with a dechlorinate that I believe uses sodium thiosulfate. Could that be interacting with the probe's silver /silver chloride?

I just got thiourea and I'll be trying to prepare a thiourea/hcl solution.

What else should I try? What else might be causing this kind of fouling/errant results?

Key lime tree is starting to take to DWC

Using lechuza citrus pon as a substrate as I've heard that citrus doesn't take to LECA well. Wicking up nutrient solution from the reservoir which is being kept fresh by an air stone.

I moved it to this setup from soil because I'm bad about checking for soil moistness, and it lost most of its leaves. But I can refresh the water every week or two in a reservoir no problem.

This picture is a week old and since then there's been even more new leaf growth.
