Thank you, it definitely seems to be the advice of the overwhelming majority

The front windows and windshield cannot be aftermarket tinted at all in NH. The rear windows have to be no more than 30% light diffusion.

Thank you, on reflection think I’ll try to avoid the woods

Meredith is one of my favorite parts of the state. Great restaurants and views. If you have the time, a day trip up through the White Mountains is well worth the drive.

After I reached equilibrium I sealed the tank. Only input was light and an external heat source. Maybe some sloshing around from a magnet scrubber

If it's good enough for cops with their nearly 100% backed out windows, it's good enough for us.

The govt not allowing tint of any level is just a revenue generator.

Don’t overthink it. Many of us live here and most of us survive. 😂😂😂

Not so much in Manchester but very likely by the lakes. Some Off! Or Cutter bug spray will be plenty. In May you might still need long sleeves and pants so you might need very little spray. Dusk and dawn they'll be worst and they're also bad in the shade and moist areas.

This was my suggestion, too.

I'm an aquarist (55g) myself. Adding younger, hungrier fish, or suffering micro-organism invasions, or chemistry fluctuations, can all cause the effects you describe.

The question is not whether changes in solar energy have effects, but rather whether or not these effects will be adapted to such that the lake remains healthy.

This is precisely what this multi-year (2020 – 2023) UCF / US DoE study across four existing floating photovoltaic system installations within three Köppean climate regions is currently documenting: "Harmful algae growth, a nutrient pollutant, is a costly nuisance for water bodies. It clogs pumps, blocks filters, and produces odors. It is also linked to severe illness and death in animals and humans. Floating solar systems may significantly reduce light exposure and lower water temperatures, thereby minimizing algae growth."

They're terrible in May and June, especially on hiking trails, and near lakes and when you're trying to enjoy a meal outdoors! Personally, I find they leave me alone unless I'm deep in nature but they eat my husband alive no matter where we are. If you're super sensitive to bites, your best bet is to use an insect repellent with DEET in it on any exposed or bare skin (do not spray directly on your face - spray on your hands, then wipe on the parts of your face that you want it on). Wash it off at the end of the day. I know we all want to use the safest/most natural thing possible but in my experience, natural repellents are only marginally effective. That might be fine for someone who doesn't react poorly to bites but for someone who has an allergy or will be miserable for a week after, the risk of using DEET briefly might be worth the benefits! Otherwise, wear long sleeves, long pants etc- they act as a deterrent - may and june can be mild here but rarely so warm that you have to opt for short sleeves and shorts.

If you hike or will be spending a lot of time in wooded or high grass areas where there is a great risk of encountering ticks, consider treating an outfit of clothes/shoes with "permethrin". It's something you spray or soak on fabric, let it dry and it will kill ticks, fleas and mosquitoes on contact. One treatment will last 6 weeks or 6 washes, whichever comes first. My husband and I hike regularly most summers and I usually drench a hiking outfit, couple pairs of sox, our hiking boots and hats with permethrin twice a summer (I spray everything outside, hang it up to dry overnight in my garage or somewhere outdoors) and we always come home tick free (it won't do anything to protect your exposed skin but it helps so much and you can wear long pants, long socks etc for added protection). If you have a cat, don't let it near the permethrin soaked clothes while they are wet (it's safe for them when it's dry though). Some of the ticks we have are incredibly small (like the head of a pin!) and while you should always do a tick check after spending time outdoors in NH, using permethrin will give you some confidence / peace of mind when you do!

Enjoy your trip!

Yeah, but I'm not trying to wait a few years until I can take advantage of that.

Odyssey Barbell in Salem. People are very friendly and it's a great community.

NH doesn't need a title after 25 years.

It's another option for people who need it. What if they don't have ears to hold up sunglasses?

Those are actually a very considerate warning to others.

That's also the only time they actually care. It's not a gotcha law, it's for visibility. If the cop pulls you over and can't see in, there's a problem.

They have a safety reason for not allowing excessive tint in the front, outweighing the BuT iT lOOKs Cool reason for having it.

Live free or die. Except for tint, that’s where we draw the line.

Something something muh rights.

If I had time I would. Closest I have is accidental, with my 75g aquarium and losing 1 of my 4 grow lamps. But since it wasn't controlled, the results are speculative. It had been at equilibrium for 3 years after 5 of trying to reach balance. All that work thrown out of whack and ended when the algae and plants weren't able to produce more than they were fed upon. They died out, and then the tank starved from the bottom up. Can it be transferred to scale? Probably not. But cutting out energy from a system will not have zero effect, it just can't.

Curious how you are able to assume it’s “most” times. Could you share the statistics you’re using to support your conclusion?
