I’m not sure if I’m using the right word/term but you get what I’m saying 😂

Thank you! The stress was getting to me and that’s the exact situation I was trying to avoid! I can’t imagine 135 gallons on the floor, what a disaster that must have been 😩

Thank you and yes I did! https://a.co/d/7q42ryX

Thank you! My stand came with adjustable up and down “pegs” on each of the corners. Pretty much each leg to the stand has an adjustable up and down peg that sits on the floor. So if you have to make one end higher or lower you can with a simple turning to the left or right. The were uneven. And...

Thank you again everyone! It’s so much of a relief already. I’ll keep you guys updated when the guppies come in. ☺️

Today was a busy, chaotic, stressful but SUCCESSFUL day. I took everyone’s advice. As frustrating as it was, I drained all tanks by 90%, lifted the aquarium stand a tad and had my boyfriend level all of of the pegs on the legs. And to clarify, the water was leaning to the front of the tank, not...

Thank you! Ive just learned about shims. I’m going to get some and try to put a couple under the front two legs so I hopefully don’t have to start all the way over completely.

It’s just enough room for me fortunately, I did a test run today. Depending on the space and tank size.

You guys think my tanks will bust or fall over if I don’t take everything apart and start over? 😭

Do you think if I don’t take it all the way down and apart, flip the stand upside down to adjust the levelers and then restart the entire three setups.. my current setup will eventually collapse or weaken ?

So you think it’ll collapse pretty much? I guess I’m going to have to do a big water change one day and start all the way over. Unless I put the front four pegs on the rug in front of the aquarium.

Same I think I’m ocd. But it seems so sturdy I feel like things would be ok. But I need second opinions. I’d hate to have to start all over 😩 I almost feel like the tanks at the bottom would keep anything from falling over. You can’t noticeably see the difference unless it’s pointed out to you...

Yes it’s a metal frame aquarium stand with a capacity to hold 75 gallons and 35 gallons on the bottom. It’s very sturdy and the stand doesn’t move. At all.

Hello again! So I made the switch from saltwater back into freshwater and this is my guppy breeding startup project I literally just got up and running today. I got a sturdy 75 gallon capacity stand with a metal frame for extra weight precautions. I plan on planting heavily and breeding full...

Well yeah I was making sure the wood wouldn’t hurt the water quality or drop the PH too much of the water lol.

Thanks everyone, so everyone’s in agreement the wood is suitable for guppies and won’t decrease the PH too much for them to thrive and breed?

I’m putting the wood into a setup I’m “auto cycling” by using filter media from my other setups. Does the water being cycled or not cycled speed up or decrease that ugly fungus stage? How long do you think mine will be ugly and fungus covered if I soak it a week prior and place it into a cycled...

I found them on Etsy actually. They’ve been sandblasted to my knowledge but I still pour boiling water on them before soaking them? Thank you!

Thank you for your time replying! I had originally mistakenly purchased grapevine at the pet store a few days ago.. I had no idea about soft woods for reptiles, I saw the amazing price and jumped on it lol. I plan on soaking the wood for one week before adding it to the setup and like you said...

I picked out two large pieces of manzanita driftwood I found from a supplier on Etsy, for my 40 gallon breeder style aquarium I’m planning to breed a colony of full red albino guppies in. I heard it leaches LESS tannins than some other woods but wanted to make sure it’s ok to add driftwood to...

Thank you for the replies everyone. I ended up selling that piece and ordering myself two large pieces of manzanita driftwood instead! Should be a lot cleaner and safer for the guppies, wouldn’t you think?

And the wood in general is completely safe for aquarium use and will not harm my fish or release anything nasty into the aquarium. I do frequent at least weekly water changes. When it starts to decompose will that process hurt my water quality?
