Cory

Couple new turtle eggs this pst week. Ordered an incubator to install in the new fish room going forward.

I’d probably just keep doing partial water changes each day if needed and make sure to test each day. If you got most of it in the first big one you may be fine.

Do you find studs on top of this helps?

It’s mostly about general aquarium health and the types of food you feed. Fees things that don’t get lost deep in the gravel and you avoid most corydoras barbel issues.

I love to watch this, As my wife calls it, snail surfing.

We each hatch like a tablespoon of eggs. A teaspoon will looks mostly clear.

I'd get 3 longfin danios

I like the gold form without the black personally.

I wouldn't do too many, just enough to snipe some fry.

Thats a fun looking tank, thanks for sharing. I hate trying to get big driftwood to stay sunk.

Hmm I'm not sure what that is, do they get any green in their diet?

I'm not sure it's popeye, as it's not that pronounced, but he looks stressed out. What is the water temperature? Have you done any anti biotics?

I find that on hobbyist forums, often interests are similar outside of the hobby. This thread is for items you've bought that exceed expectations or fully satisfy what you were looking for. This isn't just tech stuff, could be fast food, gardening equipment, anything really. My first would be the google mesh network pods. These were a game changer to me over 2 years ago when I installed them. Even just 1 pod outperformed the $700 router I was using in my studio. Now I have them in my studio, my house, the retail store and my warehouse and only have happy things to say about them. I ordered some of the new pods to test them out but so far only recommend the older generation. https://smile.amazon.com/Google-WiFi-system-3-Pack-replacement/dp/B01MAW2294/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=google+pod&qid=1599499889&sr=8-4

Slow and steady wins the race. Unless that’s your internet connection lol. I spent all day last Friday with internet installers to get 4 connections out to the new fish room. The 4 combined total 100 download but only 10 upload. Should be just above the minimum to live stream to YouTube. The picture is of @Bob and I learning how to bond the connections together with a special router.

I miss people posting their other pets, so here is a shot of our dog Wincy from this last week. She was very happy to be sleeping with Dad.

It looks like my software developers who are customizing this theme, broke the new posting somehow, so changing to ACO will fix it for now and I hope they fix it today or tomorrow. It's a holiday weekend so not sure how fast it'll get remedied yet. Thanks for figuring it out.

Just like sponge filters, flow is key here, the slower the flow, meaning the bubbles won't crash into each other, the less gurgling/sound you'll have at the end. Very small amounts of water need to move through the container, most people have them roaring lol. Also being that the purpose is to change out the water, you could have the air pump set to a timer to turn on for say 1 hour a day to do 100% water change etc.

I'd use an army of malaysian trumpet snails.

Forgot my photo.

Steenfott family took some shelving away. Slowly moving in the right direction. Had hvac guys out today as well.

You're missing the hours that were spent with him that weren't in that video, from eating lunch with the guy and visiting Jordan and such. It's no different than saying fish food is rubbish after 5 months. His goal is to get you fish at the absolute best value. A fish food that was produced yesterday and sold to you today has a better value than one that is produced 5 months ago and you bought today. The shelf life of a guppies is 18 months to 2 years just like fish food. Getting them into the customers hands at 3 months is his gold standard where 5 months is rubbish and too many people have sat on it and aren't getting the best possible product out of his farm. It's no different than if I was selling fish food 1 month from being expired, the company who produced it would be irritated about it when they work so hard to provide freshness. The way he runs his farm he can grow a fish faster than most, and takes pride in that his fish are bigger and healthier and are customer ready at 3 months, 60 days from his farm, then transit to a wholesaler then a store makes it 90 days a customer is buying a great fish, 2 extra months is wasteful to him.

I personally believe salt is one of the strongest weapons we have in the aquarium hobby. For me science proves it's the most broad spectrum treatment available to us. It won't do anything for internal parasites, but for external parasites, fungus and bacterial it will affect quite a few. In the absence of plants I find it to be a very valuable tool. We use it regularly in the store and in my own personal fish room. We start with 1 tablespoon per 3 gallons and go up to 1 tablespoon per gallon. I've done videos and articles about it, i'll leave our salt blog article here: https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/aquarium-salt-for-sick-fish

I consider it the build up of debris in the aquarium. A compost pile is probably on par. But depending on the type of tank some might have lots of leaf debris, while an Oscar tank might have a lair of broken down waste.

Wow, bed above the fish tanks is taking it to another level.

I’d definitely take the fry. They’ll adapt to your water better.
