So why not make lemonade? This could be a business opportunity for someone to develop a local aquarium plant business eh....or you could just moan and groan and get artificial plants eh?

magnificent looking fish I hope it will be a prolific breeder for you....

But it would help if forum members have more in such as Ammonia level = ? Nitrite level = ? Nitrate level = ? pH = ? GH = ? KH = ? Tank size in Gal and dimensions = ? Tank Filtration info = type and media? Tank history - symptoms, what was done and when....doesn't this sound like going to a...

Yee gato is considering the buffet it's gonna have whilst you asleep LOL

Wayyyy too many to mention...LOL

Seemless tanks are very cool but usually I only see them as acrylic tanks. I usually don't see seemless glass tanks unless they are on the small size < 10 gals.

Well you certainly got back in with a vengeance...good luck and enjoy it... stay safe

Ah ha I forgot you only have 6" of water, looking forward to see your project. You are correct about acrylic being chemically welded, it's done with a thin liquid cement. I've been playing around with it and some scrap pieces. Not ready for a tank but I'm sure it's one of those thing that...

Seems to me since bigger and space is not a concern go big or go home eh? Gotta remember the tank will be cheapest thing you get, its the other stuff that will cost and for tanks that are in your size considerations thereno diffderence btwn 180 and 240s. good luck...

That sounds like a great idea, but you will still need a frame right? I don't mean to nitpick but I'm interested building one. A DIY tank is a great project but water is very heavy and the force of water pushing out is something to consider. Given my 55 center bar failure I think if I would do...

Black Madras Rice Seed...man one can get anything these days...good luck I will keep an eye out on your post. Will your tank be made of acrylic or glass if glass how will you frame it?

What a cool idea I wish you well, but whty so narrow is it s pace limitation? The good thing about it, is that you could grow rice for the coming Trump Zombie Apocalypse!

I heard you Aussies have a Holiday version of Vegemite is that true?

Wait that's quite a feed ....do your fish always eat that well?....:rofl:

Gosh your GF helped you...what is she Wonder Woman? You owe her big time....LOL

Just goes to show how long I've been away....who would have thought to do that....LOL way back in my day we were just happy to grow elodea...LOL...

Ah thanks for the clarification

Ya got a very nice tank there, but I'm curious about the Bonsai - is that and actual bonsai tree or is it a drift wood trunk with java moss on top.?..I just never knew you can submerge a bonsai. If you can that makes for a great tank idea.

This looks like a kool DYI project , Did you built the tank yourself using acrylic sheets cut to order?

1. Use super glue/silicon to create a wider base for the test tubes inthe API Master water quality test kits. Anything can be used to make them harder to tip over. 2. Buy refillable media cartridges for filters, instead of disposable cartridges. Speaking of refillable cartridges, if you are...

Great tips one and all...

Why of course, would I do anything less given the CV situation :D

To all TFF members ...a wish for a safe Holiday and here's to a better 2021....

Think size, cichlids will eat anything that fits in their mouths and their mouths are pretty big I'm not sure shrimp will fit the bill, but there's always crayfish if you are determined to have both.

Well you've a chore ahead of you...gather what information you have and then go forth and do it....Lot of people have planted tanks...If I may, if you have a concern about fish digging up plant why not attach plants to rocks plant them add sand around the base and along with some rocks over...

Well my 40 g Bow had 6 loaches (2 dwarf chain, 4 unk loaches) 6 glass cats the two don't interact with each other, Glass cats are mid water fishes while loaches are bottom feeders so I haven't any problems. gotta remember we talk about glittering generalities. I've got a 30 tall with 3...

Thanks for the hanging driftwood ...and that's the thing about forums we are all talking at the same time...so one needs to have a thick skin...it's not like have a 1 on 1 conversation were we can interpret nuances...still I like to post and just not read too much in responses..take care...

As some of the posts note wild caught vs farmed, is full of nuances. I've had that discussion with my LFS, and he agrees it's all very complicated. But generally most freshwater tropical fish are tank raised. Where it comes to be a problem, is that we as consumers want more status fish, fish...

Now wait a minute I was gonna to that for my 55 in order to hang a heat lamp for my possible tree frogs in the terrarium section LOL I guess... great or was that simple minds think alike LOL...

On the plus side of the invasive Plecos in FL, if one has a big tank one can get the plecos for free. Why buy when you can catch them yourself eh....I've heard that in FL tropical fish can be found in all the byways and canals due to escapees from the fish farms.

Ah ha - you don't have a"dedicated" quarantine tank as such...I suppose significant other "won't catch on" till she; trips over the tanks, notices the water splash floor damage, or the increased charges in the monthly water bill...but once she does there will be hell to pay....LOL.... :banana...

Yup it seems to me to that all "algae eaters" eat algae when they first get in your tank but then as they get bigger/older they seem to decide to eat/prefer r"eal food" more. I know my plecos Pete and Pan rarely scrape off the algae on my glass anymore sigh...

Why not post if you have something to comment on or got a question? Like all hobby forums there will always be those with: bigger, badder, more gorgeous stuff....As I tell my photography group just enjoy what's presented and only deep dive if you have a particular question. Just enjoy, after...

As an on-line store Aquarium Co-Op is very decent good customer service and decent plants, After buying some plants from them I gonna try their plant products next..

Oh great as if CV and the Turmp Cult members weren't enuff..now I'm going to take my Xanax...thank Utar;)

Yup my mine has the run of the tank and no one messes with him.

It seems to me that the glass 55 tanks like the one pictured and what I also have suffer from a top frame that is a bit too thin in plastic thickness hence the hairline fractures of the center bar. But then again that why these 55's and 40 bow fronts are so affordable. I discussing with my LFS...

but the problem is finding shrimp that won't become a meal themselves LOL....
