Post #214 contains no facts or data to support the claim. Simply concerns, and from 2014 at that. And the rebuttal, albeit not a cite from the FDA study.

To be clear, are you saying that those who enjoy Glofish should not be in the hobby?

Could become ill? How and what? You made the claim, provide evidence? Saying search Google is not evidence. The claimant need to provide evidence, or to cite that evidence.

Notice I mentioned dogs and cats. There are also rabbits, cavies, sheep and many other non-food domesticated animals.

What abuse? You claim abuse, yet provide no evidence of such. Additionally your assertion against me is a Strawman argument (logical fallacy)

This is speculation and not science. What health risks in Glofish? Glofish are not mass produced, and many many species are bred in large numbers. Why is coloration abuse? Is it abuse to raise Albino Corys? As I recall, these are all farm raised and not wild caught.

Have you ever heard of Kudzu? And it's not even modified. That being said, look at dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, the list of selectively bred species is quite numerous. Most of our food is genetically modified through selective breeding. That horse left the barn tens of thousands of years ago.

In what way could they threaten them?

How are the genetics 'messed up'? We've been messing with genetics of flora and fauna for thousands of years. I know that is 'whataboutism', but should we not selectively breed other species, including fish? What is the ethical difference from gene modification versus targeted selection of...

Yes. Inventions and innovations are often used for something other than the intended purpose. e.g. Post-it notes, silly putty

Why?

They can keep their hands off my Glofish!

Any unsafe areas in Oxford UK, especially near the University? My daughter just arrived there and will likely be exploring the area by foot/bike over the next 6 weeks.

Not to slight your enthusiasm, but HTML is not a language per se, though you can embed other languages (e.g. Javascript) in the 'code'. Good plan to save for school rather than debt. Years ago before the ridiculous tuition/fee inflation, loans were OK. I had $7500 over 3 years and a starting...

What language?

Just chatted with my daughter who arrived in London at 3:30 AM EDT (8:30 BST), then took a bus to Oxford. She is tired but excited to start her first semester. We perused Google maps looking for good places to eat and pubs to visit.

I think she is siphoning from the bucket to the tank, if so the bucket hose end needs to remain under water in the bucket, the tank hose end just has to be lower than the bucket water surface and the bucket water surface needs to be higher that the end of the outlet hose feeding the tank.

Welcome to TFF! That being said, we all have non fish interests and can share them in this sub-forum. General Chat Post thread General non-fish related chit chat.

As long as the hose has no air, and the lower end is lower than the top water level of the upper vessel, water will flow.

You should be able to place the bucket on a board placed across the tank. Immerse the entire hose in either the tank or bucket removing all the air (putting the hose in uncoiled and vertically will remove the air). While holding one hose end closed with your thumb (or crimping by folding the...

And if you have 1.5" of sand, don't push down to 2" :D

And never, ever, EVER, walk away from a tank filling if you are in any way prone to distractions. Especially important for large tanks as they take longer to fill. Don't ask me how I know.

There are many decent sites out there, one of my favorites is allaboutcircuits.com - Covers basic electrical theory to the more advanced (at BSEE level) I should have done a better job regurgitating my knowledge, but as an example of the above site...

True, but for the benefit of newcomers reading, it is like most hobbies e.g. Boating: Kayak->John Boat->Bass Boat-> Houseboat Aviation: Ultralight/Kitplane -> Single Engine Fixed gear -> Multi eng, retractable Camping: Tent -> Backpacking -> RV 'camping' Rocket Science: Model Rockets (e.g...

VA is the same as Watts (assuming a PF (Power Factor) of 1, which is true for DC or a purely resistive AC load), capacity is measured in Ah or mAh (Amp or Milliamp hours). If you have a 10 watt load at 5 VDC, and a 10 Ah battery, it will supply: 10W/5V = 2 A 10Ah/2A = 5 Hrs Note that...

It's good therapy for the maladroit, and less boring than fencing. But seriously, it will teach you to be meticulous and agile, and reward you for it.

MTS FTW! And Welcome :)

Yep, back when I was a wee lad, we would fill up the 10 gal with UGF and carbon filters in the outflow tubes and add a bunch of fish. Add water whenever needed, remove dead fish, replace fish, when all or most were dead we would wash the tank, sometimes with dish soap to be sure it was clean...

Crab wiping eyes, short video

I have Pothos along with Buenos Aries, Black Skirt Tertras and Corys with no issues. Pothos have roots hanging between top lid and HOB outflow. I also have bamboo but I have moved them to root in the recirculate potion of my AC 110 filter, to increase water flow over the roots.

I've heard you can carefully cut the strips lengthwise to double your supply.

The separation of the separator could be tricksy, you may risk causing a leak in the back panel and it will be a challenge to get to the back seam of the divider with the back panel in place.

I've been experimenting with the following and it seems to reduce nitrate buildup and should also address nitrate in your tap water https://www.fishforums.net/threads/alternative-nitrate-reduction-method.476457/

Ditch the cartridges (after your tank is cycled) by replacing with reusable media. What filter do you have?

Please do next time :)

Did you put the old media in the new filter?

Draw a pic of your filter flow with and without mods, snapshot it, and paste directly into the reply box. It would be better to have your heater external to allow more room for media in your filter.
