I haven't done that. I think for the most part, an undergravel filter itself will just be good enough. That being said, you could "optimize it" by running say purigen and such in the hang on back part. But I feel like this is doing a lot to optimize something that is unlikely needed by 99% of the hobby.

I've got one of these in my office. In case I need to explain something to a manufacturer when I eventually start working on a hang on back.
-
That's quite a problem. Maybe the rocks deep enough would work. I feel like the path of least resistance is just dropping in a sponge filter and leaving the undergravel filter bed in there though.

congrats, surprise fry is my favorite 😉

welcome, 12g long is a fun tank 😉

Nice work. It's hard to watch them bite each other while mating.

How much marine salt is safe in a planted tank, say tsp or tbsp per gallon? I'm assuming a little goes a long way.
I've used 1 teaspoon per 20 gallons after water changes with success.

Substrate of crushed coral. Toss in some minerals from marine salt or wonder shells, Stick to water changes of like 30% once a month and you should be good.

Thank you @Cory, I’ve never chased parameters I just recently thought perhaps I should take a closer look as I have suspicions things were shifting a bit and causing various things to be negatively effected. I feel a bit better now actually I appreciate you, I’ll just do more maintenance and that should help with stability.
There's probably bigger gains in water cirulation, filter media, foods you feed, light schedule etc. 😉

I would do nothing. Optimizing water is like optimizing your silverware drawer. I guess it accomplishes something... but often times it won't make a difference in your life.

Here is the presentation I did on tubs today 😉

International Benefits are a challenge. Its no secret that people in the USA where our main business get a few more perks. That being said there are some other benefits. Like you can download the shrimp posters from our members only item section on the website after you sync. I've given away shirts and hats and such in Germany and the Netherlands at events to members. Same would happen when I do a show in Canada.
We hope that over time we find more ways to do international benefits. That being said it is difficult but that doesn't mean we don't try to think of new ways to make it worth your while outside of the speakers.

I recommend using sponge filters. Most first time summer tubbers are sad at the end of the season when they didn't make any babies, cause their water pumps were eating them.

I myself also only ever treat the full dose. If a disease could be treated with less medication in the water, that would be the normal dose. The type of scales a fish has doesn't affect the potency of meds in my experience.

I use 55 watt UV sterilizers on My 800 gallon and Elmer's tanks. I also just installed these on our warehouse sumps as well. Them seem reliable enough, priced well I feel and you can find the replacement bulbs easily enough. https://www.amazon.com/Jebao-STU-Stainless-Steel-Clarifier/dp/B0115MS7RY/ref=sr_1_24?crid=2LM2SLGNWS2N8&keywords=pond+uv+sterilizer&qid=1679343256&sprefix=pond+uv+sterilize%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-24&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840

This is like shampoo bottles, lotion bottles etc. There will be product at the tip of it. You can dissolve it in water, this can be your aquarium. You could shake out the excess after pumping etc. I find a quick soak once every few months is the easiest?
-
How are you harvesting out of the jug? I may have to start up some daphnia myself. I haven't really played with them since I moved to this house and I have no chlorine in my water. It seems a shame to not try and work on it
-
I think the trick on these ponds to prevent the bowing in the middle of the long sides. Outdoors you use Rebar through all the boards a few feet into the ground. Inside, I'm not sure what you'll use to keep it from doing that.
-
Yep, they're Jurupari.

Some fish definitely perfer flow. Careful though as a dog who likes to swim in a swimming pool can only do it a few hours per day. Make sure there are plenty of slow spots in the tank for the fish to rest.

Thank you for continuing to post your favorites 😉
I have booked a trip to China to film the markets and a farm tour. I also booked 3 weeks in Europe to go film as well. Also I'll work on releasing some more Lizzie aquascaping content 😉
-
You remembered correctly. I was supposed to go to one. I don't have anything planned for October yet, but I will be in Europe in August 😉
-
Yeah, as of like 2-3 weeks ago, they were cleared to come back into the country with the farms we buy from. Previous attempts had failed. So we can get back to using moss balls 😉
