    I started Advanced Emergency Medical Technician school :(

    If us old codgers can survive the vaccine you can too :) As for the security checks- a pain to fill in but no biggie. Stay strong, think of fish :fish: :)

    This is a thing we do do in our family, we bring up one of these catchy irritating songs so we all suffer - ear worms we call them. There was a "mini-wheats" cereal commercial that fell into this catagory....

    Algae problem cant get rid of the green water no matter what we do! Feel like giving up!

    Cleaning the filter should mean rinsing the media(sponge) in the old tank water and putting it back it. Anything else kills the beneficial bacteria. Do you get sunlight on the tank?

    Aquarium heaters pulling more electric than advertised

    Probably a bit of "cheating a the edges" where they are mfd. Use 10% less heater coil you get 10% more product but in turn draw 10% more power. The local line voltage will have an effect also.

    Creating directional flow in a smallish tank

    There is a technique for air fans - to reduce turbulence they have a filter that is much like as stack of shorter straws that cleans up the flow.

    Creating directional flow in a smallish tank

    The horizontal section self fills if it is below the waterline. The "work" is the lifting vertically.

    Creating directional flow in a smallish tank

    I suspect if the additional pipe is under the waterline it would work just fine, just a bit more friction from the pipe wall.

    You look like a distinguished fish-ologist, something-ologist, just needs a pipe. Very tidy especially for the length, mine is more of a zz-top sort of thing..

    Just need a bit of advice on my stand

    I expect it is made of particle board and will sag over time. While the tank edges sit nicely over internal baffles (my blue line) transferring the weight down to the lower horizontal piece (red) which has to carry the weight out to the legs.

    I still prefer an covered opaque canopy illuminating the tank only.

    Older Sci Fi is an interesting challenge. Sometimes it holds up well but some stories become dated. Enjoyed a revisit to Ringworld etc recently. Sector General series may be the oldest I have entertained.

    Where to get true endlers

    This makes me sad. So far I purchased guppies from numerous sources, chain stores and craig's- list type individuals and none proved to be very robust or healthy. Most recently added an endler trio (likely hybrid) and my tank overflows. I would hate to see that vigour lost.

    A fish thread? how refreshing!. ~20 years later my daughter still talks about walking in on the cat playing with her Betta on the floor. It survived :fish: Enjoying my vigorous endlers (Japan Blue) after some poor results from the chain store guppies available here. Will be a bit more selective...
