operation fish relocation

So as you all may know, i’m moving to fort wayne at the end of this month but i have some things i can’t take with me. one of those things is my 55 gallon fresh water fish tank.

I’ve been trying to sell it on craigslist and letgo and mercari but it looks like nobody is going to bite by the time i need to go and i can’t leave the tank with my parents because they will leave it to just die.

SO if you are interested in a fully stocked 55 gallon freshwater tank ready to be planted that would be perfect for a beginning aquarist/fishkeeper, and if you or anyone interested is within 50 miles of chicago in any direction, please please let me know!

at this point i would like to just give it all away to anybody who will care for it.

The substrate is ADA aquasoil and it is WELL finished leaching ammonia so it’s 100% ready for any plants you can throw at it.

it comes with two 48” beamswork LED bars, one for plant growth and one to show off fish colour. they both work and have a blue moonlight feature.

the tank comes with two Aqueon 75 filters stuffed with biological media as opposed to those foam pad inserts, and the only thing you need to change monthly is the pillow stuffing which i use for water polishing.

it’s a really easy tank to maintain. all you need to do is weekly water changes and feed the fish every other day

please spread this if you can? i really need to figure out a way to rehome this tank ASAP.

Chicago Police Shot and Killed Another Unarmed Black Teenager in The Back Then Stomped On Body and ‘High-Fived’

“Bitch-ass motherfucker, fucking shoot at us,” a Chicago police officer told the bloodied, dying body of Paul O’Neal, an 18-year-old black man who was, to be clear, unarmed when officers shot and killed him on July 28.

It’s not clear exactly what happened at the moment of the shooting — once again, it seems like the shooting police officers’ body cameras fell or malfunctioned. But thankfully Chicago just decided to release some of the footage, and it’s graphic. (WARNING: WATCH WITH CAUTION)

UMedics training teaches people how to care for shooting victims until an ambulance arrives. Caverl said the training now also includes lessons on how to treat those suffering from an asthma attack because asthma is another danger plaguing the African-American community.

This is a great thing. Black community is united as never before, people are ready to help and save lives.

Chicago public schools to withhold diplomas if students don’t have job, college or military plans

  • Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that Chicago will require high school students to have a job, college acceptance letter, gap-year program enrollment or military enlistment before receiving their diploma. 
  • Detractors are questioning if the new requirement is possible.
  • The measure, passed by the Board of Education in May, will affect current sophomores graduating in 2020. Critics of the ruling — like Karen Lewis, the president of the Chicago Teachers Union — have pointed out some of the major flaws. Read more (7/5/17)

This is a great way to make the drop out rates higher and for military to increase their recruiting presence in schools.
