Agree, the texture on the background is very interesting.

So got the fish home after stopping at Fish Planet for the Turbo Start. Fish Planet had 2 eels that were supposed to be common spiny variety but turned out to be maculatus. Since I had lost one yesterday, and have 1 currently in the 10 gallon as a grow-up tank I decided to bring home the 2...

I am sorry to say I dropped them off at my local fish store as I don't have tetras anymore. Had I known I would have kept them and sent them to you.

So the 2 other crassipinnis came today. Looking forward to getting them in the tank. Had a little issue with some surprise ammonia in the 120. Moved my crassipinnis (Sweetums from the Muppets) into the 125 where he perked up and was assaulted by eels and gourami trying to figure him out...

Yeah sorry the only way I euthanize my fish is with clove oil. I can never cut into them or bash them. I can also never (smell) look at Christmas again. It's always smart to have some on hand in case of emergencies.

Yeah I ordered from predatory fins. I can't believe they swapped our orders. I just got a shipping notification from them they're going to send out my other two tomorrow. Thankfully I get them delivered to work. Also got my Nicrew today. I had purchased a Finnex at the same time to see...

Well I was supposed to get my 3 crassipinnis today. Instead I got 1 and a second bag with 3 African blue diamond tetra. Contacted the seller to see what the next step is as I am a bit peeved.:mad:

Oh yeah, silly me I give the leaves to my shrimp. https://www.plantedtank.net/threads/mulberry-dw.85981/

I actually got them from a what is a not so local (it's about an hour and a half drive away) fish store. It's called Aquarium Adventures and it's not the best place to get fish and everything is extremely expensive because they mark it up a lot, but they have and have always had a good selection...

So the tank has cleared up. Cory are dwarfed by it.

So finally got the other DW in the tank. Even with the slate it wouldn't stay down. Good thing I have a lot of large lava rocks and a nice layer of sand that is keeping it in place. Tank was a bit cloudy but will get some pics later when it clears. The Nicrew light should be coming today...

Nice, pics please ;)

Glad your feeling better. Is that the office tank?

So today I'm going to finalize the 120 to get ready for the a. crassipinnis. Just means finishing the decor. Also have some errands to do and some things to do around the house. Nothing too fun.

A a good way to clean ornaments or plants with algae or other debris on them is to put them in a container that you can close and cover them with some hydrogen peroxide, close the lid or the container and allow it to sit for a little bit so the hydrogen peroxide can go ahead and destroy whatever...

So you got a lot of advice and some tangent advice on how to move your tank. I have moved many tanks by many I mean over 10 and under 20. I have also transferred most of the components from one tank into another, and most the components of wood filter into another. It is not hard to do and it...

Well, you maybe in for some structural issues in the near future. I would get an idea very soon as to what you want to do to replace the stand. Then what you're probably going to have to do is break this tank down temporarily and get it off of the stand and move the new stand in place and set...

If the particle board component is covering a more sturdy and water resistant frame, then you should be ok. If it is the frame then I would look into/build a more structurally sound one out of 2x4, 2x6 depending on the size.

Unless you like the look of BBA, remove as soon as you see it. It is hard to get rid of once it sets up residency. Fighting it in my 20L right now with some hair algae. My shrimp are useless, lol.

Looking forward to seeing it on the tank, should be delivered Monday.

Thanks, that is a very affordable option!

I am into plants, just not for this tank. Will to see what LED options I have, thanks.

When I had issues with heat in my tank, I threw in some frozen water bottles.

I have a 120 gallon tank that needs some new lighting. I had 2 Nicrew on it but they were originally purchased for a shallower tank. Haven't gotten new lighting for my freshwater tanks on a while so am looking for any recommendations. The tank is 4' x 2' x 2' and current plan is no plants or...

So it turned out that the motor was just fine on the FX4. Got it set up on the tank though it was hard setting it up with the tank against the wall. It made it difficult to set up the intake/output on the rim. I also rinsed the DW I bought for the tank but was too tired to get it in the tank...

Ok well I have a new plan for my mostly empty 120. As of yesterday the tank inhabitants were 3 Congo tetra, a dozen giant danios, syno catfish, 4 angelfish, a Royal pleco, a 3 beacon pleco, a ghost knife, 3 SAE and a smattering of Cory. Today it is minus the tetra, danios, angelfish and syno...

Glass lasts longer than acrylic in my experience. The one thing with filament barbs is that they are expensive, like $20 each. Panda barbs, rosy barbs and tiger barbs are a lot more fish for the buck and pretty as well. With sevrum that size you almost have to buy adult fish right from the...

If you use the YouTube gods you will find many videos on customizing HOB. I used many Aqueon HOB in the past and not a one used the garbage floss cartridge. BTW, an aquarium should not smell fishy unless there is some issues with it. I haven't used carbon for over 25 years unless it was to...

Well the gentleman selling the maculatus eels got back to me and they should be arriving Tuesday. That's great because they will be delivered to work and I am done at 12:30. Just have to remind myself to leave. I have been staying a little later to help my coworker since another worker is on...

If by bog wood you mean wood exposed to saltwater then I don't recommend using that in a freshwater tanks even after a long soak. If you mean wood that has been sitting in a like Marsh I would attest to the situation regarding the wood is it in decay then no I wouldn't use it in your tank. If...

Nebula, the new starlight spiny eel is doing great. She started eating a couple days ago which is fast for a wild caught eel of her size. All of the eels are enjoying the extra wiggle room, lol. We may have some new additions coming next week, I am still waiting on the seller to verify with...

Love that info card, and it's a great way to get the kids mind off their appointment, lol.
