    Nicrew ClassicLED Gen 2 Aquarium Light...

    You just saved me some browsing time. :rofl: It checks off all the boxes that I need, and the price is pretty decent, so why not? In all honesty though, if it doesn't work out I'm not going to come on here and post about it. I can find a use for it elsewhere.

    Nicrew ClassicLED Gen 2 Aquarium Light...

    I have one and it is an OK light. I was using it on a high tech planted tank but I found that I get best results from lights with white, blue, and red diodes. This one lacks the red, so I have it on a low tech platy colony right now. I guess that as long as you aren't trying to propagate plants...

    Testing, Testing, Testing.

    I only test when I am cycling nowadays. My tanks are ridiculously stable, I rarely add new fish, and my tap water source is the same year round. Of my 3 tanks 2 are scaped that I can see and remove any dead inhabitants (usually platys that expire from old age), the other one is so densely...

    Scientific name pronunciation?

    Exactly!! And even when you get someone who might know certain scientific names, they pronounce them COMPLETELY different than you do, and you are both giving each other weird looks... :rofl:

    What Fish Do You Regret Buying?

    Abramites hypselanotus, the marbled headstander. A really cool little fish, very personable and a great addition to any SA community, but the little so and so was really nippy, and would take chunks out of it's cohabitants fins constantly. 1 month after rehoming it my geos had trophy worthy...

    Bristlenose growing up colours?

    The bristles are more noticeable in the males as they mature. Mine is around 3'' and has a mottled, brown camouflage coloration right now, with small bristles.

    Which Corys Do You Have?

    I keep a small pack of c. sterbai, but apparently I am a cruel corydoras keeper as I don't provide them sand to sift through, just a lush carpet of monte carlo and s. repens..... Poor mistreated corys...... :rofl:

    Swami’s Tidepool Biotype ideas

    I can't answer that question. I am a strictly freshwater guy. You won't ever catch me keeping a salt water tank. I surf and I can see the pacific ocean from my couch when I watch TV. That's all the saltwater I need.

    I agree with you. Not too many people that I know keep either of these fish. Cave tetras are just straight up weird. Crazy that they are illegal here in my state.

    I know that there are legal loopholes. Like it's illegal to own a desert tortoise unless you are an educator. There could be an educator clause, and I am assuming that there is an educator in your family since you own a desert tortoise. ;)

    What's with the trend for 'Open' tanks?

    All of my tanks are lidless, but I do have a hood on my 120 gal. I prefer to go without lids as all of my tanks are planted and I want the plants to get the full strength of the lighting. I have found that with the hard water that I have in my area, the lids get calcified quicker and it tends to...
