It can be as simple as a mason jar or a tall, cylindrical candle holder (hurricane). For something more unique, you could try a small fishbowl or even a wine glass! For better results, use a tall, narrow vase. This will allow you to fill it with more decorations and have a thicker oil layer, which will increase the burning time. Make sure that the items are water-safe and heavy enough so that they don't float. If you are using a combination of different items, make sure that they look nice together. If you are going to be using the jars for an event, make sure that they match the decorations that you will be using. Don't fill the jar more than two-thirds of the way.

Summary: Find a pretty glass container to use for your candle. Fill the jar with other items that match your decor.

Look for species that are categorized as non-aggressive. Tetras, Corys, and even some other types of Cichlids can coexist peacefully with Blue Rams. You will want to closely observe the interactions between various fish species to make sure that all parties are doing okay. Pay special attention to meal times as Blue Rams are leisurely eaters. Other aggressive eaters may consume all of the food, leaving only scraps for the Rams. This can cause starvation if not monitored and corrected. Male Blue Rams can become aggressive with one another if you don't carefully control population numbers. Try to keep a ratio of one male for every three females. And, remember to up the tank size if you increase the number of fish. German Blue Ram Cichlids are omnivores, meaning that they eat both meats and vegetables. Feed them twice a day, as much food as they can eat in two minutes. Flakes and pellets work well, as do frozen options such as brine shrimp. Supplement their diet with fresh veggies, such as small pieces of spinach or romaine lettuce. These can be dropped directly in the tank and the leftovers removed with a net, if needed. Be aware that some Blue Rams will not eat well after being transferred to a new environment. Try to encourage eating by offering delicacies such as mosquito larvae. If you want your Blue Rams to breed, it is best to start with a group of 6-8 juveniles of both sexes. Keep a close eye on the water conditions and provide lots of rocky terrain and let nature take its course. Be aware that your newly mated couples might lose a batch or two. This is nothing to worry about and they will eventually figure out how to successfully breed. They may also eat some the eggs from these initial batches. After you spot the eggs, you can either leave them in their current tank or remove them to a 10-gallon aquarium. If you remove them, make sure to wait 24-hours to ensure fertilization. Blue Rams are notoriously picky about water quality. Readings that would be acceptable for most freshwater fish can cause a Blue Ram to become ill. A water testing kit will contain everything that you need to monitor the water parameters. Blue Rams require a pH of between 5.5-7.5. Do not chase your PH; the general and carbonate hardness of your water is much more important. Rams do best with a general and carbonate hardness of 100 ppm or lower. If your hardness is correct, your PH will follow. Artificially changing PH is not the way to solve this. If your water is hard, you should mix your tap water with reverse osmosis water, or consider keeping different fish. Keep an eye on the readings of Ammonia, Nitrites, and Nitrates. Ammonia and Nitrites should be 0 at all times, while Nitrates should be kept under 20 ppm. Otherwise, a Blue Ram can essentially be poisoned by its own feces. To keep your tank up to Blue Ram standards, you need to do a 25% water change on a bi-daily or twice-weekly basis. Use this as an opportunity to clean your tank surfaces as well. You can suction out the debris from the rocks, etc. Blue Rams are generally quite healthy, but they can succumb to certain diseases and parasites. Ich is a parasite that can prey on Blue Rams. You will notice your fish acting listless if it is affected. Respond quickly with a tailored chemical treatment. Poorly bred Rams are notorious for suddenly getting emaciated and dying. If this happens with no other fish affected and ample water conditions, consider a different source of Rams.

Summary: Find suitable tank mates. Feed them the right foods on the correct schedule. Make your tank suitable for breeding. Test the water regularly. Commit to frequent water changes. Respond to any concerns immediately.

In some cases, unless the circuit has been installed by a licensed contractor and then approved by a local building/electrical inspector, the manufacturer won't recognize the warranty. The power that runs the hot tub must be given a dedicated circuit because of its electrical demands. No other appliances or electrical demands should share the power. Again, if there is any doubt about how to wire the circuit responsible for the hot tub, use a licensed electrician. Otherwise, here is some important information about wiring that you should know: The size of the wire you use must be approved by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and/or local codes. The size of the wire you use should be based on the length of run from the breaker box to the hot tub. The maximum current draw should also play a role in determining wire size. Copper wire is recommended with THHN (thermoplastic nylon) insulation. In fact, all wiring should be copper; aluminum wire should be avoided. If using wire larger than #6 (10mm2), be sure to put a junction box close the hot tub. Then, reduce the wire to short lengths of #6 (10mm2) in between the junction box and the hot tub. When it comes down to it, saving a few hundred extra bucks isn't worth the potential disaster of voiding the warranty or causing serious bodily harm or death. Please see a professional if you no experience wiring electrical circuits.

Summary: Know that some warranties will be voided if the electrical circuit isn't installed by an electrical contractor. If you decide to do the wiring yourself, keep the power on a single dedicated circuit. If wiring on your own, make sure your specs are right. If you have any doubts, use the services of a professional.

Many synthetic wigs do not respond well to heat; some might melt when you're opening the lid of a hot oven or trying to blow-dry them. Before using any heated hair-styling tools on your wig, make sure to check its label. Look for phrases like "heat-friendly" or "heat-resistant." If there is none, you shouldn't risk burning your wig. Even if your wig is heat-friendly, opt for the lowest heat in order to avoid damaging your wig. If you set the flat iron too high, the wig might melt. Wait a few minutes until the iron is hot enough. Ideally the temperature of the flat iron shouldn't exceed 240 F (116 C). When the wig is on the mannequin head, use your hands to divide it into two layers: top and bottom. Use to clip to stabilize the top layer. Take a small section from the bottom, around 1 inch (2.5 cm) in width, and apply the iron from the roots to the ends. Once you're done with the bottom layer, take off the clip, and take a small section from the top layer. Apply the flat iron, using the same method as you did on the bottom layer. Continue until you covered every part of the wig. Don't hold the flat iron on one spot for longer than a few seconds, as overexposure to heat might harm the wig. During straightening, gently brush out the wig using a natural bristle brush. This will help make the strands look soft and shiny. If you don't have a straightener or want a softer feel, go for a hot-air brush. You can use it after lightly spraying the wig with detangler, fabric softener, or plain water. Move it down the wig slowly, letting the brush dry the fibers.
Summary: Check if your wig can bear exposure to heat. Preheat your flat iron on the lowest temperature. Clip up the top layer of the wig, and straighten the bottom layer. Remove the clip, and iron the top layer. Use a natural bristle brush while heat-styling your wig. Use a hot-air brush on your wig for increased volume and softness. Finished.
