LOL....

Okay I guess I'm not up on the newest gadgets what's a polishing filter? does it work like a carnauba car wax? LOL

Ah yes I forgot about them...as a local LFS....thanks

Yup - it's the circle of life thing....many breeders cull their fry. Alas we home hobbies are always thrilled when we get any babies...let along raise them to a decent size. I would let nature take it's course. One of my tanks has become a live breeder tank starting with guppies. And yes I...

Does anybody have any experience with stores carrying floating aquatic plants. I'm specifically looking for water lettuce or water hyaclythins, and yes I know of Caesars in Santa Rosa but looking more for something in San Mateo/Santa Clara /Alameda counties.

Just wondering if anybody had regenerated their Seachem Perigen packs? I'm a bit confused about freshwater buffering after the bleach soak? is the buffering needed? if so do I now need to buy the SeaChem buffering stuff? I happen to have some used Perigen pack and thought I would regenerate...

It seems to me that all cichlids are unique and be behaviot generalizations are just that generalizations,...sometimes you just have to put them together and keep a very careful watch...along with a fallback tank if separation is needed. That being said my Angels seem to get along with other...

Very nice, just curious what type of filters are you running? It looks like a HOB and some sort of internal canister?

or decide it's too small regardless of it's actual size....LOL

Funny thing about DIY projects they always start out so simple and CHEAP....hey have you thought a simple plastic tub to put that canister into? Just as a precaution against leakage.

Hey NC Aquatics...my bad at the risk of being a day late and several dollars short here are 2 picks from my repair. The first is a gripper bar that I used to squeeze the front and back glass together the second shows the acrylic rods I used to shore up the center bas.. Using an acrylic cement...

Hey that's what happened to my 55 the centerbar seems to develop hairline cracks and will eventually break due to the water volume I used a 27 inch gripper to keep the front and back glass from bowing out then then use some Acrylic rods and glue to reinforce the center bar. But I still don't...

Sigh the grammar and english ain't what it use to be...but then again I can barely type my name on my damn phone..... Point 4 redo.... 4 Patience is not a virtue with me so I was quicker than I probably should have been...but since the filter, substrate and rocks were all established I...

Good Morning M, Well I can't quote claim any credit.... 1. The stand and canopy came with the tank, this was a 3 owner tank. the original owner build and pained the stand, I bought the whole shabang from owner #2 and I'm owner 3. 2.. The owner #2 had some small fishes that I end up with...

Greetings All, I joined TFF cuz I was in need of good advice having decided to move up to a 100 gal thank after a failure of a 55. I suspect like many, such a move lead to a cascade of consequences all of which were fine and "enlightening". One of which was the "discovery "of many fine and...

Or when your collection aquariums things exceed your neighbor's car parts collection for that "classic" that he/shes' been working on for the last 20 years.

looks yummie!

Well that's better than threatening your daughter's new boyfriend if newbie BF does her wrong....:eek: BTW thank you for my morning laugh....

You're a fish nerd when after reading some TFF post you now want a 240 gal tank even though you just got a 100 gal....:hyper:

Hey the Brits like their beer at room temp... ;)

Hey I just did that with a 100 gal....it will be a long day...see if the seller can at least empty half the tank of water before you get there....then use the remaining tank water for the tubs of fish. I hope you have plenty of tubs/5 gal buckets for the substrate. etc...The substrate buckets...

Zebra Danios are cheap maybe with a large school your female will socialize more...

Great question and thoughts, the meaning of the hobby...now that's deep. But sometimes we dive too deep in "the meaning", for many of us it's as simple as it brings smile to our face. And maybe that's all it needs to be. Ellie, appears you are in a tough situation and far be it too me to...

On a youtube video channel the tuber uses Repashy....but you have to prepare it..... to create a food block...I haven't tried yet...but on a side note if you go this router you are well on your way to being a fish nerd...lol.....

Yup with this hobby patience is a virtue....

Or when one "borrows" from the college 529 for that custom 700 gal tank and all the additional house remodeling to accomodate...LOL:banana:

sous vide is a fancy way of slow cooking food in a water bath....I've only done it once since I got a sous vide unit for my B-Day...;-)...hey maybe I can the unit in a fish ER tank LOL...

Now wait a minute I only count my neons when it seemed I was missing a 1/3 of the school...I think my angels had a great buffet on the those new portion of the school...

First I'm gonna use the term Fish Nerd as an endearment.... In every hobby there are those with a great amount of passion and I love meeting those people....but how do you know when you've joined the ranks of the passionate? here's a tongue in cheek list...you know you're a fish Nerd when...

In the states we have company called TAP Plastics, they have acrylic weld cement https://www.tapplastics.com/

Just as an FYI I've used 1/4 in acrylic for tank covers and find that the temp/emanating from the water and the heat from light will cause the acrylic to bow. So that every now and then I have to flip them upside down I wonder if that's still the case for a thicker acrylic say something between...

Yup digger ae like gophers in a garden. If you get roote/bulb plans you can plant in substrate with the plastic grid pots in intact, buit that's generally not recommended. Or placing good sized rocks around the base of the plants after you rotted them. good luck....
