    I like the color and ambience of the backlight, but I feel like the tank looks more full/lush without the backlight. But if the idea is to get plants to grow more, then that point of view is only temporary. Also the little pleco is adorable.

    This sounds good for slosh prevention, bad for fish. Fish benefit from surface agitation, air stones, dissolved oxygen, and the like.

    Eh. Seems I'm always wet up to my elbows w/ the 29 which is getting annoying. Ordered a long siphon to resolve the wet arm during maintenance, but I still get wet for target feeding and for scaping, sponge filter maintenance, etc.

    If only the tank could have a swiveling platform under it, similar to this concept:

    Just got an email that the baffle shipped today! Woohoo! My clear water bottle one is already turning green from algae. With the black baffle, any algae should not be noticeable.

    Plus maybe you will get updates on how they're doing as well!

    Do you refrigerate the rest of the liquid until you need it?

    It's kinda tough but we can't keep 'em all, I guess. Where are they going next?
  9. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Technically yes, but what gets tricky is measuring the meds. Most meds will have a 10 gallon dosage on the instructions. You'd need to find a way to get the dosage on liquid or powder meds down to the 3 gallon level. Some people use a scale to do this.

    Assassin snails will kill/eat the bladder snails.

    When I got my Bolivian ram, there was no label or anything on the tank. I just knew what they looked like. The associate got confused as to how to ring it up and whether they should believe me about what it was. I think they ultimately rang it up as a red ram. Eh. It was about the same price I expected it to be, so I didn't care.

    Watch out for MTS! It's contagious!

    Nah, not necessarily. Just keep an extra sponge filter in your main tank. When it's time to use the quarantine tank, move the seeded sponge into it with some tank water and you're good to go (+ heater).

    @sweetpoison where is the crack? Possible to run the 29 half full? Maybe use it as a quarantine tank or something? That's a great point, because I have ludwigia in a 29 doing poorly, yet it does great in my 10 where the light is closer to it.
  15. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    I love it! It looks great with the plants! High class fishy condos. 🙂
  16. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Well, one thing to consider just from a practicality perspective is that it is easier to do maintenance on the 20 because it is shorter. Either tank will fit on the same stand, and the 29 lid should fit on the 20 I believe.

    Time to buy 56 betta growout tanks! 🤣 At some point they won't like each other anymore and it could become a warzone! They are soooo tiny!
  18. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    I would agree that he sure does look like a piano snail as you previously mentioned. Odd how he got mixed in with the rest of the gang? I suppose when they're small you can't tell these snails apart. The white guppy snails are so pretty.
  19. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    So his name is now Cruller. 🤣

    @TeeJay is this what you're referring to? Doesn't it look like the one has antennae? These don't look like planaria or detritus worms. They are fatter and the same color as the wood. Tagging @Fish Folk as well. I believe he's helped ID worms before on @nabokovfan87's worm thread. However, if it's these things you're referring to, these look like harmless detritus worms. They show up when there is excess waste/food. You can get rid of them by vacuuming more often, but I know you have to feed the crumbly/powdery foods right now because your snails are babies. If detritus worms, they will not harm your snails, they just want the noms.

    Isn't it nice when they do their own dishes? Much better! :04 - :10 we see Bissell in the front vacuuming up the noms. Your sand is so clean!!! How are you doing that? Why does mine always look like the apocalypse? Are they keeping it clean for you with their sifting?
  22. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    I think @Hobbit has some kind of nifty thing she made or got from Ikea to hang maintenance tools. Also you could use one of those rolling bathroom carts next to the tank as well.
  23. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    I think it's odd that the snails don't grow at the same rate. I had 4/35 that stayed significantly smaller. I don't know if that means that they were weaker or didn't eat as much or what.
  24. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Sometimes when I know things need to be kept in tank water for a period of time I will throw those things into a breeder box. I do it a lot for plant clippings that I’m waiting to sprout. It keeps things kinda organized so you don’t have a bunch of random stuff floating around the tank. @TeeJay you can throw your filter media into a breeder box to keep it wet while keeping the tank tidy.

    Your links are working fine for me!
