    Gluing hardscape above waterline in an already-stocked tank

    I'm sorry what size tank is it? And how high are the areas that you need to fill in comparison to the height of the tank? I'm only asking because one option would be to lower the water level for a week till allow the silicone to dry out of water. I would not recommend letting silicone set...

    What are you doing today?

    Raining here too. I'm finishing my break at work and thankfully done with immunizing for today. It's the 2nd shift Tech's turn. Also hoping the coffee I'm drinking kicks on as I'm here till 4, have to get cat food, groceries and then go home and try to do WC on a 120, 125, and the 120...

    Gold barb numbers

    Well I had about 6 in the 29, and this was 35+ years ago. They didn't have anything in the water column as I had some Cory in the tanks with them. They seemed OK as I remember the males developed some beautiful red coloration as they matured. The ones in the 125 are overshadowed by the...

    Gold barb numbers

    I had a slew of gold barbs (6ish) in a 29 gallon tank way back when I was newer to the hobby and didn't know better. I now have 16 in my 125 gallon. They are very happy in that group size. They can get big, the biggest one I remember in my 29 gallon was a little over 3 in. The ones that I have...

    What are you doing today?

    Spent the morning going through some old driftwood and throwing 90% of it away as the plecos left them a shadow of what they were. Also cleaned & moved litter boxes, ran some errands and brought the house plants back inside as it's going to be in lower 40's and I don't want all the nice summer...

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    Two new additions for the tank. Wanted to add some gobies and went with the orange clown since Fish Planet had them in stock and they in no way resemble the blenny which would trigger aggression. They had two other blenny that were longer in body and I decided not to change it. I was going to...

    Need ideas: Centerpiece for a Central Asia hillstream tank

    Always wanted one but I am breaking down tanks now and slimming down the fish room even more. Otherwise I would set them up in the 60 I bought to do a reef tank in. Blackwater aquatics sells them as well as a bunch of other wild caught Betta and other wild caught fish in that region.

    Need ideas: Centerpiece for a Central Asia hillstream tank

    I don't know why the link won't work but I did attach a link to seriously fish and according to them they are found in hillstream conditions so they do like the additional flow. If you take a look at pictures that you have big mouth so if you're danios are smaller they may predate on them. They...

    Need ideas: Centerpiece for a Central Asia hillstream tank

    Kinda late to the party, but the larger betas could work so long as other fish aren't small enough to snack on.

    So a video on the tank at feeding time, also a little peek at my Sister's 12gallon- the Fluval Evo.

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    So my older anatomy currently looks like a scallop. It has no color so there's no way for it to photosynthesize. Hence the feeding. Once it grows tentacles and has color again then I will just let it be. Along with my sis shrimp I also feed the tank with the rods poly eggs and the corals seem to...

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    So I did add a second bubble tip anemone to the tank. My first one lost its tentacles(?) but is still hanging on. I read they can do that and if you feed them directly (since they can't photosynthesize without them) that they will eventually grow back. My newest bubble tip is doing great and...

    Temporary Tank

    So found two short videos. I also had a 350 gallon Rubbermaid tub for some goldfish in our last house. The municipal well water was not good and they had constant issues as well as issues with kitties trying to go fishing which killed my largest ranchu and I just gave up. I don't have any...

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    So I had a little incident with the tank. As I was working to increase the other bacteria in the tank to keep the dinoflagellates at bay (hopefully outcompete them entirely) I dosed Dr.Tims probiotics, just half a dose for the tank while keeping the aeration/filtration and unplugging the UV...

    Temporary Tank

    The brute is a good choice for temporary fish enclosure. I had purchased Husky tubs frome Home Depot and left fish in them for 2 years while we moved in and got part of the basement finished in our last house. I used sponge filters and the old Aqueon HOB filters on them. Fish were OK. I used...

    Tannings

    Looks like Mopani, so you may be in for a long period of tannins. I like the sepia colored water but check pH as too many tannins can lower it.

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    Thank you. The anemone is struggling, but has been for a couple months even in the 10 gallon. I have the one green bubble coral for about 2 weeks now. It has been doing well.

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    Everything is doing well in the tank. I am overfeeding a bit to encourage a "dirty" tank. Also done phytoplankton daily and once a week on alternative days I add half a dose of Dr. Tim's waste away, refresh or eco-something. The dinoflagellates seem to be gone-or they aren't visible on the...

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    Ok got an updated video of the new corals. Also the snails finally arrived and have a few more minutes of temp acclimation before I add them, the 2 conchs and the bristle tubes to the tank.

    Nice start, the sand looks so fine and soft. What plants/stock were you thinking for the tank?

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    Forgot to mention, I did get and install the UV light, have it on for 4 hours at night when the dinos are supposed to go into the water column. Also in the cleanup crew will be a lot of substrate snails helping with the dinos on the substrate. The conch will also aid in that. I have also...

    Dipping Into The Salty Side

    Ordered a snail only cleanup crew from Reefcleaners for 29 gallon tank. Also added 2 more dusters and strawberry/tiger conchs. UPS delivery by noon tomorrow, hope it's earlier as I start work at noon and will need at least 20 minutes to acclimate to temp and plop and drop (their instructions).
