For this method, you'd want to do a regular service. To get how often, watch for when your tank has more free floating particles in the water, if that takes 4 months, perhaps you service filtration every 3 months. A lot of people use way too much filtration so they might be able to go 6 months to a year, With less filtration might be weekly or monthly. Like my store is every 2 weeks essentially from having 1 sponge filter and hundreds of fish in a 20g.

You'd want a minimum of 2 inches to be at sellable size. To maximize growth. Use an auto feeder feeding 4x per day, and then 2 feedings by you per day, usually morning and night, whatever works for your schedule of Live foods and frozen foods.
Then make sure water parameters don't get out of line. The goal is to keep fish eating every 2 hours. This would be for a 12 hour light on cycle.

I bring stuff in early when I can, unless Im specifically testing how cold something can go for the following year.

They'll eat some shrimplets as well. I'm not sure if I've ever seen them eat any eggs, I could see them doing it though. I don't think they'll be hopping out of your aquarium.

Not in the plans to have a dark theme.

My forklift pic didn’t upload, so here they are.

New forklift arrived and construction pics.

@CoryWe need some pictures for those of us in the cheap seats, who spend all our hobby allowance at the store (living close by is both a blessing and a curse!).
I’ll grab you some today!

Next level, spawning fish rooms...

I'm going to post my "members only" videos here as they document the process and I'm treating this like a build log and I love looking back on my old ones, so having them in the same place will be helpful. My apologies to those who aren't members on youtube, you won't be able to view this video.

I'm testing another heater again... This is still a continually work in progress for me. This one appears promising from the beginning. Should be affordable, has digital temp display, you set the temp outside the tank. Lot of the little things I like, I'm waiting for my sensor to show up so I can track the temp on a graph for some more testing currently.

Thank you all for the support. Congrats to @Its Hutch on the 1 year milestone. I actually had no idea you've never ordered with us 😉 Hopefully this will show the people that think I only care if people spend money, that they are wrong lol. We treat everyone as equal as possible.
As for the planters... Pretty much Randy and I just pace back and forth waiting for customs to call with it being cleared lol.

We actually use an app to do the unanswered topics. I have a request in with that developer for a way to filter out the deleted topics 😞

Chlorine would dissipate out. Chloramine im not sure. You could always rinse the brine and use dechlorinator day tap water to mix with to freeze.

When was the last water change? What is the PH out of the tap?
-
This is why fish meds are so difficult. Same dosage, same drug two different companies. One says change water daily, other days 5 days in a row is fine.
in my experience 1 dose without changing water is just as effective as those two for the diseases I run into. I dose once and let sit for a week monitoring it.

Got my Murphy flag up last week. I’ve gotta remember to take more pictures of the progress. Hopefully I’ll update some more tonight.

I'm a fan of cyclops. I mixed it in with other fry foods to create my own mixes back in the day when I was breeding a lot more.

The forum software company went through a major upgrade a few months ago and as a result has been patching bugs left and right. Each time I upgrade to patch the bugs it breaks our custom theme. So for now I'm going to have us use this theme until they get a more stable version that doesn't have my coders fixing it every week. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We use hot tapwater then air dry. Haven't ever had disease spread much, both at home and the retail store.

How bright is the light? Often times they are most active at sunup/sunset/night.

There's never been a great answer for this really. Selling them cheap to a pet store/donating has been the answer I've seen. They get used when people just need numbers to cut down on aggression.

Nice work, would you mind if I was to make one of these in a video to show people how to do it? I'll credit you on the forum with credit 😉 @Robin
Best Heater... Does A Good One Exist?

We stopped selling them because we'd go 6+ months without shipments. Fluval has a really hard time keeping heaters in stock, as well as some other products. Heaters because of their size, didn't make us any money after shipping. WIth the constant burden to customer service of when they'll be back in stock, it simply made sense to stop losing money then waiting on a company who ships to unreliably.
