I feed the fish an assortment of fish foods including sinking pellets wafers and flakes. On occasion the fish will get some frozen foods like blood worms, mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. The tank will also occasionally get some freeze-dried tubiflex worms as well as some fresh foods like...

I have 4 in my 125. Never noticed missing fish.

Marine salt is what you need for brackish. What are you planning on keeping?

Agree with removing all soil from plant's roots prior to adding to tank. I never needed to add air stone as plants took off naturally with the fish provided nutrients. The leaves are were gasses are exchanged, not the roots

Thanks Tom, I hope so. Tank brings back memories of prior tanks...both small and big. Recently purged my Google photos otherwise I would post some pics of tanks of fishy past. I had found some blyxia japonica and blyxia red in my local fish store and I remembered how well the japonica did in...

I have a bunch of "swiss cheese" monstera growing in my 125 gallon due to the numerous plecos in the tank. They have been in there for almost a year and have started to vine out under the tank. I have the chihiros lights on this tank and they get hot enough to tame the leaves in front. I'm...

I got mine from Etsy. Works on the rim of my 125 gallon. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1094527365/3-pack-poth-o-carry-versa-max-ultra-wide

So redid the 20L shrimp/bororas/rasbora. Old New Photo above is my Igawazo 2009 sword plant. It was one and about 2 years ago I cut it at it's rhizome into 2. Surprisingly when I pulled it out the smaller one had a bud that broke off. It's a beautiful and slow growing sword plant. Turns...

Set up a 20 high tank today with the intention of making it into a bubble coral tank. Going to add some porcelain crabs, goby and a possum wrasse in a month or two. I have a Fluval 107 set up for filtration, two live rocks (about 6 pounds worth) and a Sicce Voyager 1000 circulation pump. Also...

So the matten filter that I had set up for the 125 gallon tank came with glass framing because I had a corner matten filter. I had to silicone the glass strips into the tank and allowed the silicone to cure while the tank was empty. Once the glass had cured and was secured to the tank I was able...

Yes I have had a matten filter and they are great. Had one set up on my 125 with a water pump vs air pump and had no issues with my cycle. Had some of the tower/jet filters from Swiss Tropicals when I had over 40 tanks hooked up to my central air system in our last house too. Those are...

So I have been hinting at the fact that we were going to be merging some fish and corals from the 13 gallon in the 20 gallon into our new 38 gallon. Well I went ahead and started that yesterday. Now to preface this, I have had freshwater tanks for many many years, over 25 years just under 30...

I'm working, but the worst thing is it's snowing outside...

Me too...miss her on YouTube.

You can use craft mesh and block the intakes on the Fluval with them it'll allow water flow but stop the loaches from getting in. Unfortunately this tank setup is not really built for loaches of these types. Kuhli's are notorious for getting stuck in the worst spaces. They really are the...

Ditto to above with the addition that you should put a water conditioner directly into the filter prior to adding the tap water to Prime the filter this will protect your biological media for any chlorine or chloramine in the water. Although a lot of studies show that that isn't detrimental to...

Forecast is predicting rain for the rest of the week...⛴️

That's is a good ratio, the males are very handsome sparing over females.

Pondering the sudden appearance of a pond in my backyard...

Plants can be sun burned by too much light. Some like more light, others less. Same as terrestrial plants, hence the full sun, partial, shade designations.

Those fish are very small and very shy. Instead of adding another fish to that tank I would probably boost their numbers to something closer to 16 or 18. They should be good in a 10 gallon because they have a very small bio load. They are more comfortable in heavier planted tank setups, so you...

Yeah my dentist has a fish tank but it's not pretty at all. I'm all done the numbing has yet to go away fully, so we'll see how much pain I am in soon.

Gourami love algae. I have on 125 gallon with a snakeskin gourami a moonlight gourami a gold gourami and a smattering of Honey Grammys and anytime I have a plant that is riddled with algae (usually anubias) I just put it in the tank and they clean it off for me better than any snail, pleco or...

So don't turn the ends of the leaves trim it all the way down to the base of the plant. If you're looking for a floater I would go with the frog bit not duckweed. Duckweed is almost impossible to remove one to have it established even dried up and dead it will come back to life like a...

I have had many lace plants but not had algae issues. They like water fertilization, strong light and some current. I have had them with swords, anubias and crypts. The anubias were the algae trouble plants. Add something like hornwort or water sprite to help with the excess nutrients and...

Welcome! If you're not learning something then you're dead...lol.

Sitting at the dentist office waiting to get a root canal...beats the pain I have been in for the past week even on antibiotics...
