When water evaporates, it leaves the salt behind in your tank and it will increase your salinity. Use fresh distilled water that has been heated to the temperature of your aquarium to replace any lost water. Mark the tank at the top where the water level should be so you know how much water to add back in. Water needs to be changed and replaced every 2 weeks to remove filth and chemicals. Use a water siphon to remove 20% of the water from your tank and replace it with the same amount of heated saltwater. Alternatively, clean the tank weekly by removing 10% of the water once per week. When you're mixing saltwater for a water change, make sure your solution has the same salinity as your tank. A stronger or weaker solution will raise or lower your tank's salinity respectively. Mix and heat a saltwater solution 1 day before you perform a water change on your tank. Over time, salt deposits will form on the sides of your tank. The salt is removed from your water and will lower your salinity. Add a saltwater solution to your tank to raise the salinity back to the levels you need for your tank.

Summary: Top off evaporated water with fresh water if the salinity is too high. Change 20% of the water every 2 weeks. Match the salinity of new saltwater with your aquarium. Compensate for salt creep by adding saltwater solution to the tank.

Ask yourself if you are satisfied with your current trajectory in life. If you're in school, are you studying something that motivates you and you feel passion about? If you're working, is your job meaningful? Does the work justify itself? Do you feel good about the work you're doing? If your answer to these questions is no, you may want to consider a new path for your life, whether that means a different field of education, a new job, or a new place to live. Bounce these questions off of your friends, too. Tell them you're trying to figure out if you're living in a way that helps you love your life. What do you value most in life? If it's your relationships with people, maybe you should be working with people in a field like psychology, social work, or some kind of activism. If it's making a lot of money to provide for your family, maybe you should find a lucrative field that will allow you to make money doing something you enjoy, based on your interests. If you aren't living according to your highest values, you will have a hard time loving your life. Try to figure out what you value most and then plan your life around that, rather than blindly pursuing whatever opportunities may show up around you. If you want to ignite some sparks in your life, put yourself out there and try new activities. Take up painting, fishing, woodwork, yoga, rock climbing, or something else that appeals to you. Bring a friend for even more fun! Think about things you've always wanted to do but never gotten around to. This could be anything from writing poetry to learning how to ice skate. Education is a great way to open new doors and new opportunities. Being educated has been linked to higher mental health, social support, and other positive things. If you feel stuck in life or just want to bring greater satisfaction to your existence, consider going to college and majoring in a subject that appeals to you. You may qualify for government grants to help lessen the costs. You can also start at a community college and then transfer to a university later, if you aren't able to afford four years of university. If you're at a loss with what to do with your life, consider seeing a career counselor. They are trained professionals who can help you figure out a career path based on your abilities and passions. If you're in high school, you may have access to one through your school. You aren't obligated to pursue whatever path they suggest, however. Make sure it's something you want to do before you begin preparing for your future in a particular field of work or education.

Summary: Check in with your current situation. Reflect on your values. Try new things. Get an education. See a career counselor.

Paint rollers are soft and rounded so they don't break apart the textures of the popcorn ceiling. Pick a thick-nap roller, inches (19 mm) thick or more. Also opt for an extension handle to make cleaning easier. The shape and softness of the roller will protect the popcorn texture from damage. Expose the roller to clean water. Try using a small flow from a faucet to splash or lightly coat the roller. You only need enough to make the roller feel damp. It should not drip at all. Water can easily damage this delicate ceiling, so be cautious or consider hiring a professional. Push the paint roller over the dirty spots. Move in a line, applying an even coat of water. You don't need to push hard against the ceiling. Rinse the roller when it gets dirty so it doesn't spread any dust or dirt. Remember to squeeze out the excess moisture before using the roller again. If your ceiling has deeper stains, you'll need to repeat the process with a cleaning solution. In a bucket of water, add a small amount of vinegar, mild dish or laundry detergent, or bleach. If using bleach, mix 5 parts water with 1 part bleach. If using vinegar or detergent, use equal parts water and vinegar or detergent. Bleach with water works best for smoke, mildew, and water stains. Wait a few hours to see if the solution has had the desired effect on the ceiling. If stains are still visible, repeat the application. You may need to repeat this process a few times for tough stains.

Summary: Get a paint roller. Dampen the roller. Roll over the surface. Add vinegar, detergent, or bleach. Let the solution sit on the popcorn ceiling and repeat if needed.

Before you can do a thorough job of cleaning out the vehicle's interior, you'll need to remove any loose trash from the cabin. If you have personal items like blankets, spare pairs of shoes or the like, you should remove them as well. Use a trash bag to collect scraps, loose wrappers, or any other trash from the floor, seats or ashtrays in the vehicle. Collect your personal items and set them aside to bring inside. Don't forget to clean any trash or personal items out of the trunk as well. Either use a shop vacuum with a long hose or take your vehicle to an automotive vacuum center. Be sure to vacuum all of the carpeted surfaces in the vehicle, including the trunk and beneath the seats. If you take your vehicle to an automotive vacuum center (usually located with car washes) you will likely need quarters to pay for the vacuum. Keep an eye out for stains in the carpet you'll need to address as you vacuum. Use an automotive interior cleaner to wipe down all plastic trim components in the interior of your vehicle. If you don't have automotive cleaner, an all purpose cleaner will also suffice for wiping away dust or any stuck on grime. Don't use all purpose or interior cleaner on leather. Make sure to wipe in the nooks and crannies of the dashboard where dust tends to collect. You can purchase interior cleaners at most automotive and large retail stores. Use a cleaner designed specifically for use on leather when cleaning leather seats or upholstery inserts. This will prolong the life of the leather and prevent it from cracking. They make spray-on leather cleaner as well as pre-moistened wipes you can use to simply wipe the seats and trip components down. If you wish, you may also use a leather treater after cleaning the leather. This will condition the leather deeper and help it maintain its softness and shine longer. Use a glass cleaner to spray and wipe down all of the glass surfaces on the interior of the vehicle, including the inside of the windshield and the rear view mirror. Pay close attention to wipe away any streaks or fingerprints. You should wash the exterior of the windows with glass cleaner after washing the car to ensure there are no water spots. If there are any stains in the seats or carpets that need to be addressed you can use either a spot-stain remover or a small carpet shampooer. Prior to using a stain remover on the stain, test it in an inconspicuous area to ensure the stain remover will not negatively affect the dye in the material. After you've tested your stain removal method, scrub it into any stains on the carpet or seats. Follow the directions for how long to leave it on the stain and how to properly wipe it away to remove the stain completely.
Summary: Clean out trash and personal items. Vacuum the carpets. Wipe down plastic surfaces with interior cleaner. Use leather cleaner on leather parts. Wipe down interior and exterior glass. Use a carpet shampooer or stain remover if necessary.
