INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ideally, you should have the girth about 3/4 as tight as you prefer it when you first tighten it. Then move your horse a few steps steps, forward or back. Next, tighten the girth gradually once again. As a general rule, your girth should be tight enough so that you can fit 2 fingers under it but the saddle won't move easily. Always tighten the girth again once you have warmed up, as horses tend to puff their stomach out when being tacked up. Remember to check the tightness of the girth right before mounting.

SUMMARY: Make sure the girth is tight enough.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Partial water changes are one of the most efficient ways of combating algal blooms in your tank. By removing a portion of the water and replacing it with algae-free water, you'll essentially dilute the algae content of the water. You should generally do a partial water change every two weeks to protect the water quality in your tank. Drain or siphon off about 25% of the water in your tank. For severe algal blooms, you may need to replace more than 25% of the water. Do not change more than 50% of your tank's water at any given time. This can upset the pH of your tank and could stress your fish, which may be fatal. Test the pH before and after performing a partial water change. The pH should not go up or down by more than 0.2 units to avoid stressing your fish. One way to help control ongoing algae blooms is to physically remove the existing algae from your tank. This can be done while you're performing a partial water change, as you'll have easier access to the walls of your tank when the water level is lower. Scrape or wipe down the walls of your tank at least once every week. Be careful if using a sponge. In addition to harboring microorganisms, reusable sponges may trap grains of sand, which could scratch the glass. A commercially-available chemical algicide can help kill algae quickly and efficiently. However, you'll need to be careful with chemical agents like this, as they can upset the balance in your tank if used improperly. Do not use algicide if you have live plants in your tank, as algicide will most likely kill them. You can easily remove algae from your home aquarium by employing algae-eating fish and invertebrates to the tank. These living additions will eat algae off the plants, substrate, and even off the glass walls of the tank. Check with a knowledgeable employee at your local pet store to find aquatic or marine organisms that can help control the algae in your tank. Most species of aquatic snail will eat algae, whether in a freshwater or marine tank. Just be sure that you check at the pet store to ensure the snail you get can live in your tank at home. Bristle stars, bristle worms, aquatic hermit crabs, Nassarius snails, and sea cucumbers will all help control algae in a marine tank by removing organic detritus from the substrate of your tank. Some plants produce and release chemicals that can help inhibit algal growth in a home aquarium. Fast-growing plants tend to be the most allelopathic. Some well-known allelopathic plants that can be added to your aquarium include Cabomba, Egeria, Ceratopteris, Hygrophila, and Vallisneria.

SUMMARY: Perform a partial water change in your tank. Scrape algae off the glass walls. Consider using an algicide in your tank. Introduce algae-eating fish and invertebrates. Try adding allelopathic plants.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius). Preheat an oven-proof pan until it is hot. Place the seasoned monk fish in your pan, and allow it to sear for approximately 2 minutes. Flip the tail over, and allow the uncooked side to sear for another 2 minutes. Place the tails, still in the oven-proof pan, inside your heated oven, and allow them to bake for approximately 6 to 8 minutes or until done.

SUMMARY: Directions for pan roasting.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Short-raised panels have a square-like shape. They give garage doors depth and character. They go great with Victorian or colonial-style homes. Short raised panels also complement a Tudor home's strong architectural lines. Long-raised panels have a more rectangular shape when compared to short-raised panels. Like short-raised panels, they give garage doors depth and distinction. Long-raised panels go with a variety of home architectural styles. Because flush panels are flat, garage doors with flush panels tend to blend into the surrounding wall area. Flush panels are also slightly textured. The type of glass you choose depends on how much light you want to come in through the door. You can also choose how many window panels per section you want.

SUMMARY:
Choose short-raised panels. Pick long-raised panels. Try a flush panel design if you want a garage door that doesn't stand out. Select glass panels if you want a contemporary door.
