  1. I have been using sicce scuba heaters. 50w in my 10s and 20s I bought several on closeout. On new setups I buy aquatops which are the cheapest available to me at the fish farm store. I get the 200w for about $13 300w is $18 I think. I use them as heating elements run on the inkbird controllers.
  2. Try this aquarium co op club finder tool. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/apps/store-locator
  3. I have read a few breeding reports from @Fish Folk where they used bottled water in specimen containers. Maybe able to provide some input on different brands.
  4. They are a unique combo. same height and width of a 20L but the length of a 20H
  5. I looked at this a while back thinking about using it the same way. I ended up just using inkbird heater controllers on the "important" tanks and run the rest at the mercy of the heaters thermostats
  6. I have a few of the tidals in size 55 and 110 they work great.
  7. Your plan seems fine. Do you not have room for both tanks? I would set up the 15 in addition to the 10 and have twice as much fun.
  8. I bought this rack from BJ's. It filled a space between a 2x4 rack and the wall perfectly. I think a 36" rack would work great if you wanted to do 20L instead
  9. Mine breed in a community setting. They stick eggs all over the glass. I have to pull the eggs and raise them in a tumbler then a breeder box.
  10. Nice fish. Don't have experience with them but am following this thread.
  11. Just got to check the ingredients/nutritional facts to see how close the food you want to grind down is to proven fry starter or nano etc
  12. Fish have personalities like people and sometimes they just dont get along.
  13. Posting a picture may help with alternative solutions.
  14. The weak points are the fake laminated wood and the leveling feet
  15. I have used mattenfilter foam as a divider in 40b tanks Bought full sheets from jehmco to build mattenfilters. With the extra I made a few dividers. Depends on the fish but 3 20H next to each other would give more control.
  16. I ground up some 1.5mm xtreme today with the grinder and it worked just as well. Looking into a possible future improvement, upgrading to an automatic grinder with a push button. One handed operation.
  17. I did look at some coffee grinders before getting the pepper mill. Sounds like a great option for making alot of food at once.
  18. I had a little spoon that my friend gave me a long time ago. He said it came with some medication or powder of some form. Anyway it was the perfect size for 10 gallons. So when I was using safe I would just scoop as many times as I needed to in multiples of 10 gallons at a time.
  19. What type of food are you crushing? I like the pepper mill because I can adjust the size of the grind. With the sera discus granules which are pretty similar to tetra tropical granules in size and shape I try to grind down just enough to be eaten while remaining slow sinking. I think with any food if you grind it or crush it too fine it will just cloud the tank.
  20. here is a link to some measuring spoons I found on amazon https://amzn.to/3gDCIhp
