Melissa's Holiday Gift Guide 2018 - More Frugal, Useful and Meaningful Gifts - Duration: 15:33.
hi everyone its melissa here from melissa shares and from little kosher
lunch and today i wanted to talk to you about the holidays coming up and holiday
gifting because it turns out that i have a lot of opinions about holiday gifting
but today i wanted to talk about meaningful frugal useful gift ideas for
a broad spectrum of people the more you can step back from whatever holiday
frenzy is around you and think clearly about how much you actually want to
spend and is this thing that I'm giving meaningful and useful to the recipient
then I think we'd all be a lot happier I have seven tips for you today and for
those of you who celebrate Hanukkah and are Jewish I will have over on little
kosher lunch a Jewish Hanukkah gift guide for you with more Hanukkah
specific ideas but this one is for everyone
number seven consider a coordinated or add-upon gift this is a great frugal gift
option or a nice way to present like a bigger ticket gift that you want to your
family and friends where no one is put out to spend a huge amount of money
themselves so exhibit a the vintage Little Tikes dollhouse this was a great
add-on gift that I facilitated a couple of years ago I actually bought the
Little Tikes dollhouse which is sort of a collectible thing now I found one for
$14 at the thrift store but the trick is that the furniture is expensive and
dollhouse furniture generally is expensive so I sent a message out to my
family and I said what we really would like is furniture and people for our
dollhouse there were certain prime pieces like the baby and the baby
stroller the vacuum cleaner the baby pool we also got you know various people
clearly the baby is missing because the baby is the favorite piece of this
dollhouse and my girls take turns hiding it different places if you're doing a
dollhouse for the holidays ask relatives to buy you the pieces that you need for
that dollhouse another example of this train tracks plus the train engines
these are really expensive new if you can buy a good deal on a lot
of track then it's not as big a deal to ask your relatives to get you a caboose,
a crane, all the little stop signs, people that go with it and this again could be
a $5 to $30 spend for individual pieces or a few train cars we have this this is
a this is a favorite little tykes flashlight turning you off this one
a relative bought for our big girl and today adding on to it I found one for a
dollar ninety-nine at the thrift store for little girl she's gonna get her own
now I was really excited about this extra flashlight not only the price and
that it matches and goes with one I have but it goes with my sister-in-law's
gifts that she sent a tepee that I'm gonna wrap and set aside for Hanukkah
and she was very thoughtful and she did some add-on gifts a night sky
constellation book another light a lantern for the girls you could do a whole
camping set there's so many different ideas in my wheelhouse of young children
these are all really long lasting quality gifts I love this one buy in
bulk and divide I'm gonna just show you my crazy living room chair that I've set
up for this one if you belong to like a big box store this is a no-brainer
right like we've already divided if you buy the giant Pistachios at Costco or
the giant walnuts that maybe you will or won't candy and then if you think about
containers that you already might own or could pick up secondhand for a
reasonable price mason jars canisters for the pantry I like to think about
what do I already have in my pantry or what am i picking up at Costco that I
could divide easily as a hostess gift or a teacher gift or a have just in case
gift some other ideas beans and spices with your chili recipe take something
beautiful like these wrapped candies and put them in your candy dish
you don't need to wrap it any further and then one that my husband was not
familiar with but that my mom did when I was growing up is flavored sugar for
someone who likes fancy coffees this is nice
you can do vanilla sugar by using just even half of a vanilla bean you stick it
down in your sugar put it in there for a couple weeks
stir it every few days and your sugar is gonna be infused with vanilla flavoring
and then you can put that in a mason jar and give that to the teachers at school
or whatever it's a nice very inexpensive but thoughtful gift oh and if you're
like me and you really love nice meat consider buying the whole fillet and
cutting it into steaks and I think that that's really like the ultimate of this
idea of buying in bulk dividing repackaging and giving to
someone else my mom and I both think the steaks is like really something you'd
give to someone you love alright number five alternatives to gift
cards you know if it's the right gift card then great but a lot of people give
gift cards that nobody really cares about and they go into a drawer or they
disappear and get lost and don't get used I think cash is really underrated
if you are giving cash it's really nice to go to the bank and get really crisp
bills another thing that's nice are gifts of unusual increments like a
dollar coin
this is a 25 dollar roll that I bought and have
dipped into of like the Sacagawea and other dollar coins that are golden
colored just consider giving cash instead of a gift card I will write on a
sticky note and stick it on the money and I'll say I envision you drinking
coffee at a really nice coffee shop with this or why don't you go get your nails
done or go do something you like with your husband you can give the sentiment
of a gift card without buying the gift card let your person choose where they
want to spend the money where they want to grocery shop where they want to drink
their coffee let them choose because you may think that you know but then it
turns out you really didn't know and then they're like selling their gift
cards at a discount on one of those gift card sites another
alternative to gift cards that I like to tell people about give a sheet of stamps
and I have some I'll show you in a moment and I know this is about frugal
gifting but some people have different budgets for gifting if you really want
to help someone out and you're uncomfortable giving them cash but you
are an intimate friend you could pay a bill for somebody I mean you can go to
the utility company and pay their electric bill or put money towards
towards their school bill that they're paying every month okay I'll leave it at
that number five just consider not doing those gift cards
speaking of gift cards tip number four I confess that using gift cards is
sometimes useful and I used a gift card that I already had and I bought hostess
gifts and those are things that I would maybe hesitate to buy with my own cash
but I needed to use up the gift card and these are things that I'm very happy to
be gifting they're very high-end so if you have gift cards use those first
before you spend your own hard-earned money number three make or we gift
thoughtfully this one is a little bit extreme but just stay with me here this
can run the gamut I like to think of what are you good at or what are you
known for that will connect with your gift recipient so this is as simple as
are you really good at pumpkin bread think about what's important and that
you're good at and it might be something like my recipe cards to give to a family
member I made laminated recipe cards recipe cards or important family recipes
that you document and save and give to say a little sibling or a grandchild can
be really meaningful and even more meaningful would be giving those recipes
along with like an important tool to make the thing or inviting that person
over to make a dish with you and then giving the family recipe cards maybe you
have a lot of something like you're a stylish woman and you have a lot of
scarves a scarf is a beautiful way to wrap up a gift especially if you're
buying them at a reasonable price I mean I wouldn't buy a $300 silk scarf
and wrap something else in it I've gifted things to like young relatives who are
just starting a new job or graduating college and something that's a nice
accessory is a really kind and thoughtful gift to like add something to
their work wardrobe I've wrapped up books in scarves if you have a handbag
collection and someone that you know has always admired it
maybe you gift an old special accessory like that by cleaning out and re gifting
meaningfully I'm sorry you guys had to find out this way but I have a massive
collection of Chia Pets Chia Pets to me scream the holidays if you were a child
of the 80s you watched all the commercials for Chia Pets this was not a
gift that I gave away because I'm never giving away my Chia Pets but I have
grown out my Chia Pets you can buy chia seeds everywhere now get some chia seeds
grab a chia pet if you still have yours around and these are so much fun for a
holiday party I have grown them all bushy and green and gorgeous and had
holiday parties at my house I have even grown these Chia Pets lovingly and
I've taken them to someone else's house for a holiday party so this was
something weird I could provide where I was doing a table setting essentially
that was very me and was appreciated
okay tied up with this is also my tip number two what's old is new even though
it's old to you it may be new and fresh to someone else there's just there's a
lot of trends that come back around so dig into your closet don't be afraid to
go buy things secondhand if you live in a city where this is possible to do
without a lot of effort we live in Los Angeles the thrift shopping is amazing
I can go and find things like an Hermes scarf for six dollars at my thrift store
it takes a little effort but it's a hobby of mine and it's possible buy used
look in a drawer I am Not Afraid to gift a book that is secondhand a lot of my
favorite books or wonderful children's book titles are out of print and you
can only find them secondhand you can clean things nicely you can send things
to the dry cleaners you can cover a book in a beautiful book jacket so that it's
fresh and pristine looking again like a collector's edition would be and this is
a great way to make your gifting stretch without spending a lot of money and no
one will ever be the wiser you can also do this shopping online if you're not in
a big city and if you start well in advance of the holidays and give
yourself enough time you will find the thing that you're looking for at the
right price this doesn't have to be fashion related per se but my mother can
look in her junk drawer and she can find a gift for my children that they love go
around in your day-to-day life and look for free things that are out there at my
dry cleaners they give away free tiny candies they also are giving away these
really cute packets of lint sheets like a lint roller but they come in a stack
and they go in your purse these are so cute they would make a great stocking
stuffer they're very novel they're useful they're free my daughters
freak out over old clip-on earrings they do not need to be new these were a
dollar fifty today at the thrift store this was a dollar this was this was a
whopping eight dollars but it's a really beautiful ladybug you may already have
these in a drawer at home my kids like things like old skeleton
keys these are interesting an old costume jewelry necklace postage stamps
I mentioned as an alternative to gift cards but you know if you know a child
who has a certain interest you can find postage stamps on pretty much any topic
you can order them online all summer we've been doing the scratch-and-sniff
stamps that are ice creams Halloween stamps that we're using right now
astronauts outerspace underwater creatures you may already have these
stamps in your desk drawer this was a $1 CD that I picked up today and this is
just like evidence that cost really doesn't matter and it's thinking about
the gift recipient that matters my oldest daughter is obsessed with Hawaii
loves Moana even though Moana doesn't take place in Hawaii and I said look we
will get Hawaiian music for you like for a dollar I have a new CD that I put in
my car and my children were so happy today listening to this new Hawaiian
music it was like a conversation starter it was a learning experience it's not
even a name-brand anything it's something that I just happened upon for
a dollar you may already have things like this and these sort of happenstance
gifts are sometimes some of the most interesting ones I really like this idea
and this is the idea that my family settled on for our holiday giving this
year we'll see if they officially settled but we discussed do something
nice with people that you love for someone else so in my family we often do
a holiday gift exchange all of that money that's always spent every year on
things that are sometimes big hits but sometimes they're misses and sometimes
they're meaningful and sometimes the gifts just aren't so meaningful and
everyone feels the need to spend the allocated spending limit why don't we
just do something nice for someone else and this is something this is a gift
that anyone can do it's more meaningful if you can do it with someone that you
love that you would otherwise be buying a gift for get together with your family
and sponsor another family for the holidays make a meal and take it to
someone else put together gift baskets or care package
for someone who's far away from home raise money for a cause that you believe
in take your things and drop them off to charity whatever it is I think that we
get all bent out of shape over the holidays we spend too much money money
is so important I think it's so important that it's helpful to teach my
children not to fritter it away I want them to be able to have it and save it
for their futures I have bills to pay I don't want myself or other people to put
themselves in a bad position because they overspent on gifting so do
something meaningful this year I really appreciate your time if you
subscribe to my channel great I look forward to having more content for you
soon if you are celebrating Hanukkah and
you're Jewish check out little kosher lunch that's my other YouTube channel
thank you again and I hope you have wonderful holidays that are meaningful
frugal useful I hope they're just great thank you bye bye

2018 Hanukkah Gift & Activity Guide from Little Kosher Lunch - Duration: 8:29.
hi everyone its melissa here from little kosher lunch and welcome to my channel
if you're new here I'm the mommy to two little girls and we are packing
kosher-style lunchboxes every day and I also am showing you content on this
channel like holiday content for Hanukkah
so I hope you'll stick around and subscribe if you're new today I wanted
to talk about a few ideas given that Hanukkah is really sneaking up on us
this year I am very Pro inexpensive useful consumable gifts that don't take
up a lot of space today I wanted to share a few ideas some you have seen
before but they bear repeating and some are new for Hanukkah this year that
will be easy gifts for you to pull off the first ones are sort of child and
baby related one of the favorite things that I've shared with you in the past is
my Hanukkah felt and this is something that is so easy and inexpensive to pull
off that I wanted to share it with you again and illustrate that just with a
pair of like kitchen shears or sewing scissors and a few pieces of felt you
can cut out a simple hanukiya and little candles I have lots of extras
down here and flames I made some latkes and a platter and a
dreidel and some gelt and this is a set that children from 18 months on through
preschool age really enjoy playing with I set it up on an easel I already own
with a sheet of felt that I bought at the fabric or craft store this is a gift
that you could make and give or make and mail for around $5 you can also get a
felt placemat and this is a nice thing for on an airplane if you're traveling
for the holidays felt spending a lot of time on it but you just need to know
about it if you are a crafty person I once went on a real bender and made bibs
for everybody and I do these bibs for my children I can link the pattern for you
but these are bibs that are backed in terry cloth and they have nice angles
that really cover the shoulders of a baby and one year i made a whole bunch
of Chanukah bibs if you're handy and you wanted to make some Hanukkah special
things for a baby go ahead and do that someone is going to love it
and you can buy these types of things but these happen to be homemade and they
were very special and I put a lot of love in them the really nice thing to do
at a Hanukkah party where kids are attending is either invite the children
to bring their Hanukkah crafts and use those as decorations or you can bring a
Chanukah craft to the event it's really nice for a child to like make a little
hanukiya something and take it home or show off something that they're really
proud of so here are some examples I've saved from past years just to give you
inspiration Pinterest is your best friend there's lots of inspiration there
little hanukiyot made out of a halved paper plate this was a school
craft with washi tape we've done tin foil and doilies and jewels and my
favorite of course my favorite be the shamash I save these from year to year
and I use them as decorations in our own home in terms of going to other people's
homes I think a hostess gift is always nice to be prepared for these are the
ones I'm giving this year from williams-sonoma their dish towels are
just beautiful and these are pop-up sponges so this is great if someone else
is feeding you and doing the dishes you at least could refresh their towels I
love giving stamps to people and these are the new Hanukkah stamps they're
forever stamps so even if you stocked up this year and save them for future years
you would probably be making money if you have children who are receiving
gifts for the holiday I think it's really important to send thank-you notes
and this makes thank-you notes more fun for the child when they are themed
appropriately with the holiday I've discussed these before but a Chanukah
playdate kit is what I call these this is just a mason jar with gelt and
dreidels and you can decorate it with a bow if you want to be fancy like me I've
also taken our planet box you'd be very generous to gift a planet box but you
could or you could just take your lunch box that you already own or a Tupperware
that's divided and these I did for my children last year and they loved
them you can do dreidel with gelt and dreidels you can do play dough and make
latkes and hanukiyas or you can make a play-doh worm or long
hanukiya and physically put old Hanukkah candles in it and pretend that you're
lighting the candles and sing the Hanukkah songs for my daughters at least
this has been a lot of fun and it's cute and neat for them to take in their lunch
bag to Grandma's house or take to a friend's house over the holiday
so just repurposing items you have in a cute container can make Hanukkah
activities happen if you already do dreidel or you're just doing traditional
dreidel where people are coming over and the dreidels are out consider playing
with real money it is a tradition to give real money or real gelt at Hanukkah
time and it's maybe more fun if it's an unusual coin your kids can learn about
money this way even a roll of pennies is good enough it's a little bit more high
stakes for the child another tradition that I really like is to BYO hanukiya
so these are some hanukiyot that we own so many families have historic or
meaningful or really beautiful hanukiyot that you might want to see so if you
are hosting Hanukkah this year or if you have some say and someone else's
Hanukkah party why don't you suggest that everybody bring their own hanukiya
if they have one your child can bring the one that they made at school and
then you get to see everyone lighting the hanukiya together it's more
candles and more light if you were giving a gift to a new couple or a new
family it is nice to gift a hanukiya they range in price my last tip for you
today is oomphing up your supplies for Hanukkah by adding one small thing each
year so this year I am gifting myself Hanukkah related napkins I bought these
beautiful blue napkins today and these silver ones and these are gonna go into
my linen closet to be pulled out year after year and they set a beautiful sort
of blue and white silver table the other gift to give to a family with kids is
the gift of a new Hanukkah book if you subscribe or our a member of PJ
Library which sends free Jewish books for children then you may have some of
these there are some books though that are not sent out by
PJ Library and there are ways to figure that out if you're looking to
fill in the gaps for someone one way of knowing it is if it's an expensive book
because typically the PJ Library books are more low cost so one of the
ones that we received from friends was Hanukkah bugs it is a pull the tab lift
the flap book it's just a little more elaborate here's one where the little
shamash bug radiates light and this has been a huge hit with my children this is
the grand finale whoa that's the eighth night of Hanukkah I just found the
runaway latkes I found it at the thrift store so I pick these things up and I
do have a special Judaica section of my children's book library and these come
out year after year I pull them out in advance of the holiday so they can be
ready and we can have a Chanukah book each night of Hanukkah
here are some other titles I'll list them for you below but the other way to
find out if PJ library sends them is they do publish a list on their website
of what books are being mailed out so you could check on that list to find
inspiration and titles that you want to purchase or you can check against it to
see if you're getting a book that they aren't gonna send that is all for you I
have some other gift guides that I've done in the past so I'll link those up
for you but I hope you have a really special holiday and much more than any
of these gift ideas I really hope that you just do Hanukkah for me Hanukkah is
about singing the songs lighting the candles eating latkes and other fried
foods that's what's really important I think and getting caught up in the
materialism much less important so if you can keep it simple more power to you
and thank you so much for your time I hope to see you back here on my channel
soon bye bye

BUILD A NANO AQUASCAPE - STARTING GUIDE FOR BEGINNERS - Duration: 17:12.
Welcome to the beautiful world of aquascaping,
to the Green Aqua Gallery!
I brought you some flowers.
Lovely isn't it?
I don't want to talk about flowers today,
I want to talk about this Nano Aquarium.
(Cinematic music)
Nano is a very popular subject among aquascapers,
because you can start with this, on a low budget.
You don't need many plants, you don't need a lot of soil.
You don't need a lot of hardscape.
You can build a beautiful tank
on a low budget.
On a relatively low budget.
This is a very good opportunity for you to see
weather aquariums, or the aquascaping hobby is good for you.
You can try your skills in building a beautiful little tank.
We're gonna help you with that today.
What I have here right next to me is an ADA Nature Aquarium Cube Garden.
Let me open it for you. You need scissors for that.
I'm gonna cut the straps.
I'm gonna take the cover off.
There you go.
I'm gonna throw everything out.
Take the aquarium...
Hold it with one hand...
Don't do this at home!
This is a beautiful
4 mm glass thickness opti white ADA aquarium.
20 liters in total.
It has a spotless look.
The exact measurement are 36x22x26 cm.
Alright.
Let's start with me putting the gloves on.
Many of you guys asked weather I need gloves
for making an aquarium.
No, you don't really need those.
I just like to protect my hands so...
This is why I'm gonna put this on.
Beautiful gloves from Black Magic.
We got it from a friend of ours, Jurijs.
Thank you so much.
It's a Moscotton brand and we really like it.
Let's start with building the hardscape
or let's start with putting in the soil.
I'm gonna use three types of soils now.
You have the ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia.
Which will go to the bottom.
We are not using Power Sand special
or Power Sand at all in this aquarium
because we're just gonna have a couple of foreground plants.
Maybe we will use root sticks.
In order to provide some more nutrients.
We hope that in this small nano aquarium
the ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia
and the ADA fertilizers that we're gonna provide...
We're gonna use the ADA Mineral,
and we're gonna use the ADA Brighty K
to fertilize the plants.
The plants will get enough ferts from those.
And the soil itself.
So it's going to be fine, we're not going to use
any base layer fertilizing substrate in this tank.
On the top of the ADA Amazonia
we're gonna use the ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Powder.
Which is a smaller grain-size ADA Soil.
It's much easier to plant in the substrate
when it has a smaller grain-size.
Especially with plants that have smaller roots.
It's much easier to push the roots in.
But you will see that in a moment.
As decoration we are going to use the ADA Colorado Sand.
You have it here.
It's a beautiful reddish sand.
It will help accentuate the brownish
and reddish color of the wood that I'm planning to use.
This is the Iron Wood.
That I have here prepared.
I also have the Dragon Stones here.
Just small pieces of it.
We don't need a lot of hardscape for a nano tank.
Let's start with the ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia.
I'm gonna put a little bit of this in the back.
I'm gonna use some more from a 3 liter bag.
I'm just gonna pour it in.
Only in the back.
Nowhere else at this moment.
I'm just gonna stop here now.
I'm gonna come back
with the Amazonia later.
Let's see what we're doing.
I'm going to arrange it a little bit.
I'm gonna put some rocks in the front.
I'm going to put the Dragon Stones
between the foreground sand and the Amazonia here.
To have a nice boundary between those two.
Alright.
Let's find a suitable
rock in the foreground.
What I'm looking for here at this point
is that the rock should lean against the side-glass
as smoothly as possible.
It should stop the Amazonia from coming to the foreground.
That's pretty fine there.
I'm gonna use additional rocks
smaller ones
to continue that line.
that I wanna make here.
Then I'm going to pour in sand.
Cosmetic sand.
In the foreground.
Usually you don't need a lot.
One cup of it was enough.
Make sure you use a sand-flattener.
Flatten the sand
here
You don't need a lot of sand in the foreground.
You can just make it nice and even.
You can increase the height
as you go towards the back of the aquarium.
Let's use the wider side of the sand-flattener
to make it even more nice and even.
Is it flat enough?
Maybe yes, so let's leave it like that
and let's use the Amazonia to the back.
Fill it up.
I'm just pouring it to the back like that.
Arranging it with my hands.
You have a nice layout that will start
from the right side and go towards the left side.
Let's see what we're gonna do with the wood.
The wood is prepared.
It's ready.
This is the hardscape.
Iron wood glued together.
I used some coconut fibre to hide the glue
that was used to get these pieces of wood together.
I want to show you guys how I made this.
I brought you different pieces
of wood.
I'm gonna show it how I select it.
First I have a main wood here.
I'm using another wood right next to it
to continue the line like this.
Right now this is good.
You need to glue these together.
You can use the coconut fibre to have the Seachem glue
that I was using to keep these pieces together...
You can hide it with that.
I hope you like the hardscape.
I'm going to put it in the tank now.
For that I will really need to go to the other side.
I'm going to check it out from the other side
to see how it goes.
I'm very happy with the hardscape at this moment.
I just need to find a good angle for it.
Okey, so I'm happy with the wood arrangement.
We're gonna fill in some more Amazonia.
To the back.
Then arrange it nicely.
You need at least 3 or 4 cm of Amazonia.
In order to be able to plant in it.
I'm gonna use the sand flattener again.
To bring in the soil that put in the back.
To the front.
And arrange it in the front as well.
Be careful not to spill
any soil on the sand.
Alright. Ready.
So what we're gonna do now,
we're gonna use the Amazonia Powder
to put it on the top
of the regular Amazonia.
Let's pour some in the front as well.
Alright so we're done.
In order to be able to plant you need to wet the soil.
Plant roots will stick to the soil much easier
if it's wet a little bit.
But before we do that
I need to introduce some more rocks.
To add some detail.
The more detail you have in a tank the better.
It will increase the scale of your tank.
It will add to the overall look.
I'm using small pieces in the foreground.
I'm using bigger pieces in the background.
How do you like it so far?
Are you happy with this?
Let me ask Viktor.
Okey, so Viktor is telling me
that this is the words hardscape by a pro again.
It looks like I need a t-shirt.
Can you guys send me a t-shirt?
"The worst hardscape by a pro ever"
Thanks!
It looks like I'm lacking some hardscape elements
in the foreground on the right side.
What I have to do is to build some more
in the foreground
to have an elevation here.
That would add a little bit to the beauty of the whole thing.
Too big.
Too small.
Perfect.
And we're ready.
So I think the hardscape is ready guys.
Let's go with the planting.
We are going to use 5 types of plants.
The first plant that I'm gonna be using today
is the mini Bolbitis.
The official name is Bolbitis Heteroclita Difformis.
It's a small fern.
Which doesn't grow big.
I really like to use it in nano aquariums.
It doesn't cover completely the wood.
I use 6 pots of them.
I put them here-and-there.
Support it with some little rocks in the background.
So that they don't float up.
The second plant that I want to use is the Echinodorus Vesuvius.
This is a nice Echinodorus type
that will not grow too big but the leaves are long enough
and the general idea for me using this plant
was that I wanted to use another fern type...
Like the narrow-leaf Microsorum.
But we don't have a small narrow-leaf Microsorum
on the market yet.
So I'm going to use this instead of the Microsorum in this tank.
I'm going to use this in the background,
because I don't want it to cover
the complete
hardscape.
I don't want it to cover the fern - as well.
Let's go with the third plant.
This is the Bucephalandra Lamandau 'Mini Red'.
This is a nice Bucephalandra type.
It has reddish color.
It will accentuate the greens of the other plants
that we were using so far.
I'm gonna take it in two parts.
I'm gonna put it
to have some patches of red
here-and-there.
I have the Elatine Hydropiper here.
It's a small lab plant in jelly.
That is a nice foreground plant.
You can just take it out of the jelly
wash the jelly off
and then use some great
pinsettes (tweezers)
I'm gonna use the small pinsettes here...
Just take small chunks of it.
Then plant it at the left side of the aquarium.
I forgot that I need to wet the soil first.
We're gonna use this
thing
to add a little bit of water to the soil.
Also, I want to keep the plants
that I was using so far
from being dried out.
Okey, let's clean the foreground.
A little bit.
For you guys to see what am I actually doing in the aquarium.
Then I keep on planting the Elatine.
To the foreground here, on the left side.
Make sure that you are not big chunks of it.
Because it's really difficult to put down.
I just checked it from the front and I see
that we need need to go all the way to the back.
On the left side of the aquarium.
I think we need to raise the substrate a little bit more
on the right side,
because I want the Elatine to be visible on the right side as well.
Don't be afraid to plant as densely as possible.
The more plants you have in your aquarium
the more stabile the ecosystem will be in the long run.
The less prone you're gonna be to algae.
Having a good filter is always helping
but you need to help the system
with introducing as many plants as possible.
This Elatine is a nice plant.
The only trick to keeping it alive
is to have a nice cool water.
So don't try this at home if your room
has a higher temperature.
And you need a lot of CO2.
This Rotala 'Red Mini' is a nice plant
that will not grow high.
This means that I can use it in a nano tank.
I'm gonna plant it in the background.
You're not gonna see it at this moment.
But after a couple of weeks they will grow up
and the tops will show behind these plants.
Here. So you will have a nice red finish in the backgound.
Okey, you can see now
where I plant the Rotalas.
In the background.
Only in the center.
Not on the sides.
Okey guys, we are ready with the planting.
You might want to add some more patches
just one or two patches of something else.
Into the Elatine to have some detail in it later.
after they're grown together.
It's up to you to decide.
To improve the tank a little bit.
Having a nano tank is nice thing because you can always
Tweek it a little bit.
I want to show you the light guys.
I'm really excited because we have this
nano tank light here with us.
ONF light, you guys tell me what does it stand for.
ONF. One Night F....?
(laugs)
Alright, I don't know.
Viktor told me not to joke about this.
But I just have to joke all the time, you know me.
It's the best light from Taiwan at this moment.
It's the Rose Gold color.
You can see it now.
It has many features that are really absolutely needed.
For a nano tank. One of these features
is the adjustability.
You can adjust the height.
You can adjust the depth.
You can adjust the strength of the light.
Finally guys, finally! It's one of the lights that is strong enough
to have a proper Nature Aquarium in a nano tank.
We didn't have that before in the LED section.
We're really happy to have this light here with us.
The Rose Gold... Flat one.
Is here in Green Aqua!
I'm gonna screw on the bottom part.
I have not used this before but at the Green Aqua
Gallery we've been testing one of these guys
for months now.
Like that.
I don't really like the fact that this one is in the front.
So I'm just gonna move it to the other side.
It's gonna look much better there.
A really good thing about it is that you can adjust
the height - there's a little rubber-ring here
which you can just move down a little bit.
If you move it down then the light will stand higher
If you move it up...
Then the light will stand lower.
Okey guys, the aquarium is ready.
The light is ready, let's switch it on.
There's a switch on the bottom of it.
If you keep pushing it
the light will turn on.
Wonderful-wonderful strength!
I really love it.
All we have to do now is fill it up with water.
Have the filtration plugged in.
To have the filter hoses, to have the CO2 system.
You have a lot of nice glass things from ADA.
Here. Specially made for nano tanks.
This is the outflow.
This is the bubble counter.
That will go with a hose to the diffuser.
We will probably put the diffuser on the opposite side.
From the outflow.
So the water will be pushed down here,
and it will work against the bubbles that are coming out
from the diffuser.
Okey, so this is it.
Let us know what you think guys.
I hope you really like this aquarium.
And you are not gonna say
that this is the ugliest aquarium made by a pro - again.
Let's see how it looks like when it's filled up.
Thank you for joining us to this video for this week.
I hope that you like the Green Aqua YouTube channel.

Red Dead Redemption 2: FAST TRAVEL Tutorial/Guide (RDR2) - Duration: 2:41.
[Intro] Hey guys, it's TCousteau from FantasticalGamer,
and welcome back to the channel!
Fast traveling is one of the most controversial topics in Open-World Games today.
While the proponents state that it saves hours of walking which detract from the action and
turn the game into a boring walking simulator, the opponents say that fast travel ruins the
immersion because it essentially allows a player to warp to different locations which
are both unrealistic as well as unfair to the developers who spent countless hours designing
an intricate world full of side-quest and puzzles that fast-travelers won't be able
to see.
Skyrim is one such example.
With that said, fortunately, or unfortunately, Read dead redemption 2 also features the ability
to quickly move to locations without having to ride or walk for hours on horse-back or
on foot.
It's a little tricky to unlock so today we'll be showing you how to unlock and use
the fast travel system in RDR2.
[Body] To start off you need to know that there are
not 1 but 3 ways for you to fast travel.
Keep in mind that 2 of these methods are paid, as in you need to pay money to travel, while
the last one is free.
The first method of traveling is the train.
To do this you need to walk into a post office and go to the counter.
Over there you'll see a rate list of the cost to go to the other towns, the fare depends
on the distance, obviously.
From there you just need to select where you want to go to and if you have enough money,
the screen should fade for a moment and you'll be greeted with a gorgeous cutscene of a train
heading out and arriving.
The next method doesn't stray too far from the post-office.
For this method, you need to make your way towards a stagecoach which is right outside
the post-office.
When you reach there you'll need to interact with it which opens up a menu and shows you
the rates, they aren't really that different from the train service.
So you just pick where you wanna go and ride the coach.
The last option is the free one.
Well, it's not entirely free, in order to unlock this mode of fast travel you'll need
to upgrade your camp.
Upgrade lodgings and you'll unlock the ability to upgrade Arthur's tent.
When you do this, you'll be able to fast travel.
To do this you go to the world map behind Arthur's tent and select a location.
You need to have already visited that location before to be able to fast travel to it.
[Outro] And well that about does it for our guide
on how to fast-travel in RDR2.
But we want to hear from you, what do you think of fast travel?
If you love it, why?
If you hate it, why?
We'll be really interested to know your feelings on this matter.
Until then, that's all from me.
See Ya!

Gun Mechanics: Overlooked Controls & Tactics - Red Dead Redemption 2 - Gun Guide - Duration: 4:46.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Andrew and welcome to a gun guide for Red Dead Redemption 2. In this guide
I'm gonna be quickly showing you some of the gun mechanics. In most shooter games
the mechanics are generally the same. You pretty much just aim and
Pull the trigger to shoot. It's not all that different in Red Dead Redemption 2, but there are some minor differences. Now
I'm going to assume that you know
The basic controls. What we're going to do is quickly look at the overlooked controls and tactics
Now first thing you want to note is that tapping R2 will actually un-holster your weapon
Faster than using L1
If your unarmed, it will automatically select your sidearm by default
This tactic is also pretty useful if you want to shoot and fire behind you right away
With the gun un-holstered pressing lightly on R2 will actually allow you to aim from the hip
not entirely too useful, but it works if you want to try and maybe aim a little bit better and
Feather the hammer. Now with the gun holstered lightly pressing on R2 will actually initiate a draw
Anywhere, literally anywhere that will allow you to use a gun
This is pretty handy if you want to go straight into Dead eye without having to
Worry about being killed by whoever's trying to attack you in situations where you're being ambushed or situations where you're being held up
Now while aiming your gun pressing the camera button will instantly switch between first-person and third-person
Pressing left on the d-pad will switch shoulders
pressing up on the d-pad allows you to fire a warning shot in the air and
Pressing Square will allow you to dodge
It also allows you to get dirty
If you're using a scoped weapon
While aiming pressing down on the d-pad will actually allow you to scope in. If you're using a non scoped weapon
While you're in first-person mode
pressing down on the d-pad
Allows you to use the iron sight. Pressing R3 while you're in first-person mode without aiming allows you to do an instant
360°. While you're in third-person mode and you have your primary side arm equipped double tapping L1 will
Pull off a little trick that you can do to holster it. Now for the sake of this video
We're going to assume that there are only two important firing mechanisms
You might notice in some situations where you're hiding behind cover. There's bullets flying everywhere
It's absolute chaos
*Sombre & dark music starts playing*
*Gunfire, gunfire everywhere*
*Lady starts humming or some shit*
It's like every single enemy is just firing
directly at you despite the fact that there might be other people to shoot at. You go to fire a shot and
that works perfectly fine, but then you go to pull the trigger a second time and
No bullet comes out now. You're kind of a sitting duck. The first couple of times this happened to me
I actually thought that it was a bug or a glitch but this is because there are manual hammers and
Automatic hammers. What that means is you press the right trigger to fire once
Again to cock the hammer and then again to fire
This method is probably safer against things that don't shoot back like these trees a safer tactic is to aim
Fire go back into cover then aim again
the reason why is because Arthur will
Automatically cock the hammer when you go to aim. With an automatic hammer, like the double action revolver here. You can fire at your heart's content
One thing to note is that guns that use a manual
mechanism are usually more accurate than guns that don't. Also don't be quick to judge a
Firearm too early because the more you use a gun the more Arthur improves with that weapon
That's him firing with a cattle man revolver after probably
About 20 hours or more using that particular gun, and that's it. That's all you really need to know
Now you can go and use what you have learnt to shoot some dangerous trees like this one here
Look at him. Look at him sneaking up behind me. I can see him
You see him looking at me. You see him see him. We're gonna get him we're gonna oh,
You see that he didn't see that coming
Yeah
that's one tree that
Went ahead and made my day. If you enjoyed the video leave a comment down below, I'd really appreciate that

The Audio Engineer's Guide To Maintaining Healthy Relationships - Duration: 5:09.
- I don't know how you are,
but I know personally for the longest period of my life,
probably the darkest period of my life,
I would just wait for that text to come in,
"Hey, you wanna come hang out?"
"Hey, we're doing this, you wanna come do this with us?"
Instead of actually being the person
that arranged those things
and when you start building habit and routine into this,
it gets a lot easier to manage these relationships
in a systematics way, and that really does work well
for our types of brains, the systematic,
if-this-then-that type of brain.
So I think there is a good marriage between the two,
and you can do a lot of work
even if you don't have a high emotional intelligence,
so I think this is something that's worth addressing.
- Yeah. I think that's really cool.
I think that there are opportunities for us to use the fact
that we are so logic-minded as audio engineers,
we are so technically-minded as audio engineers,
and that might not be everybody listening.
You might be making a solid living,
or starting to make a solid living,
being the creative in the room,
and not touching any knobs.
If you are,
good for you, that's awesome. - More power to you.
- Way more power to you.
But I think even if you are one of these people
like Brian and I, who see everything
as a logical problem to solve,
that's not necessarily a bad thing
if you apply it correctly,
and when I say that having a good E.Q. is a skill,
that it's a tool that you need to develop.
- Are you talking about the graphical equalizer
or are you talking about the emotional intelligence
with that E.Q.?
- The emotional intelligence
with that E.Q., sorry. - Okay, just clarify.
- So that I'm appealing to that technician inside
of us by calling it a skill.
That we're, "Oh, it's a skill.
Oh, well, I'm gonna be awesome at it."
- Yeah. - That's how ...
- It's more complex than that.
- Yeah, it's more complex than that
but at least if you see it
as something you can get better at ...
So case-in-point, changed my life.
I read a blog post about two years ago
from Tim Ferris - You know,
side note, you don't really hear that term very often.
You don't really hear that many people say,
"That blog post changed my life"
but I'm glad you - Yeah.
- just said it.
Well, it was from Tim Ferris.
So - That is true, okay.
His blog posts are basically little books.
- Yeah, they're both basically little books.
He pointed out that falling asleep is a skill.
And I, up until about two years ago,
was absolutely horrendous at it.
I would typically lay in bed for an hour or two each night,
trying to calm my mind down.
A nap was out of the question because ...
- I'm not gonna lie, I am amazing at that skill.
I just turn over and fall asleep almost at a whim.
- I am getting there, I'm okay at it
but it wasn't until I saw it as a skill
and engaged my nerdy technician.
"I must assimilate this skill to my body" like weirdness.
So I think this is a healthy conversation to appeal to us
as engineers, that's what we are,
that this is a skill that we can possess.
- Yeah, you could take a little
left-minded approach to a right-minded ...
- Yeah. - I can take a, hold on,
you could take left-brain approach to a right-brained issue.
I would say the emotional intelligence side
is more of a right-brained creative-type
ethereal-thinking type thing, - Yeah.
- something that I really struggled to even grasp on
and understand but there are systems and processes
and structured approaches to improving that skill
of that very airy thing that's hard to grasp sometimes.
- Here's an actual tactical piece of advice for that.
If you are lucky enough to have found someone you love
and you are struggling to balance your career
with your relationship with them,
you guys should sit down
and you should talk about boundaries.
You should get a piece of paper out
and you should write down rules, mutual rules,
not her or him telling you what to do
but you, as a couple, deciding what it is,
what are the boundaries that you should respect.
So one of those might be
if you have to mix late, you will mix on headphones
after 11PM or something like that.
That you'll structure your day in a way, where you're like,
"Well, I'll do the type of work
that I can do with headphones later at night
so that I'm not, like, subwoofer
(beatboxes) (laughs)
you know, at three AM" - Yeah.
- when your wife has to go into her job the next day
or something like that.
So I think that having that conversation
with a piece of paper, it shouldn't be, like, a paragraph,
it should be bullet points, in my opinion,
really simple, really easy.
One, no mixing after x, y, z.
Two, no reading blog posts and debating people
on gearsluts.com about meaningless junk
while watching a movie with one's significant other.
- Stay fully present. - There's all these ...
Yeah, there are all these things that you can do
where you can 80/20 and say,
Well, what ...
What causes 80 percent of our problems
that's related to my career?
Can we come up with boundaries
and a list of rules that helps me know
it's not appropriate to be watching,
I don't know, some romantic movie with your spouse at night
while also arguing about which manufacturer
has the best microphones on Gearslutz
or something like that?

Gun Maintenance & Gun Customisation - Red Dead Redemption 2 - Gun Guide - Duration: 3:05.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Andrew and welcome to a gun guide for Red Dead Redemption 2. In this guide
I'm gonna be showing you how to maintain your guns condition and where to find the option to customise your gun
Now if we hold L1 to bring up the weapon wheel, you're gonna notice that there's quite a few stats on your gun,
And these are pretty self-explanatory, you'll notice that portions of the bars will be filled in white, this indicates the weapons
effectiveness, when a guns condition degrades
It becomes more difficult to use, this means that it will reduce the damage
It will increase the load times and it will decrease the fire rate
How often you use the gun and the environments that you use the gun in, will affect the guns condition
so using it in water or using it in mud will probably
Decrease its condition quicker and the stat we're looking for is the condition stat at the very bottom now
I've just selected the carbine repeater here and you can see that it's actually very low, so in order to fix this all you have
To do is go to your local gunsmith and select the customise option
Here you're gonna see a list of all the guns you own and the guns that you've got equipped are marked with the holster
Icon. In this section here, you can actually customise the performance of your guns as well as their appearance
Also note that when you're highlighting your secondary
Sidearms, you can just switch them by pressing left or right on the d-pad
Now if you select a gun, in this case
We'll select the carbine repeater because it's the one that has the lowest condition. You'll have a "clean weapon option"
You actually can't customise your gun until it's clean. Apparently the gunsmiths have standards. Now
The customisation is pretty easy to figure out from here. So I'm not really gonna explain it all that much
So once you clean the weapon, that's it
You should notice now that the condition of the weapon is a lot higher
It's at its maximum and some of the stats are just a tiny bit increased
Now you can also maintain your gun while exploring
Firstly you're going to make sure that you have gun oil, you can actually purchase some of this from the gunsmith or you can loot
It while you're doing whatever the hell you're doing while exploring just come over here into this guy's backyard. He's a gunsmith
He shouldn't mind now if we hold the weapon wheel and go to one of our weapons with them highlighted
We're going to press R3
And this will actually allow you to examine your weapon in close detail or clean it
It's pretty cool because you can actually turn your gun around you can even get a better look at it
It's a nifty little feature to play with if you just want to I don't know if you want to
Look at the better details of your gun. Now what we're going to do is we're going to press square to clean it and
You can hold square. So it speeds up the process as well and
That will automatically use any gun oil that you have in your inventory
There we go. Squeaky clean. That's it. That's all you need to know about maintaining your gun and where to find
Customisation if you enjoyed the video, let me know in the comments down below
Really appreciate it. Don't forget to subscribe and visit the channel for more videos
I'd like to thank you guys for watching and as usual ladies and gentlemen, I will see you in the next video
