Wasn't sure, never had to fight with bba before. mollies also eat algea

could throw a couple of nerite snails in there

right they get feisty if it was a cool water tank you could do florida flag fish. or just try and trim/scrape where it's at

Too big for a 20. they can get 6 inches long

In response to the acrylic question. yes, they can be resurfaced, but it takes lots of sanding and polishing. then getting the right epoxy back on the surface

petsmart/petco

apparently great stuff makes a product called pond and stone. should be perfect for this

Looks really very cool. but it goes back to, does the great stuff break down over time, and underwater. i have no idea. you and John think alike, I think. https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?&q=yellow+labidochromis+tank+kgtropicals&&mid=760B73911204BDA84AD6760B73911204BDA84AD6&&FORM=VRDGAR

not exactly sure that it's necessary, the weight of water in a 75 is roughly 630 lbs. believe standard capacity is over 10 lbs per gallon. you can by what's called egg crate, which will lesson point of contact weight (rock to glass) and more evenly distribute it. but the weight should be no problem as is. the other thing is, not sure great stuff is actually fish safe over long periods don't know if you've seen it but John from KGTropicals (youtube ) has a great looking yellow lab tank completely made of stone in the back

you may need a couple of buckets depending on the size and number of fish. at least an airstone per bucket. better would be a 10-20 gallon tote from big box home and your current sponge or hang on back filter. if you can get your current filter and heater in, you'd be good to go. would be the same as your normal tank. just keep an eye on ammonia and more frequent water changes.

our first ever tanks were round 3-gallon, plastic tanks from Wm... we used them in that. never had a fish in my life before that, now have 245 gallons in 14 tanks all over the house. the things we do for our kids,,,,

Big boxes carry an in tank, low flow hang on back filter just for bettas. we used them on our first betta tanks. suction cups to tank

I have done this with anubias. The theory is that when you get them in the tubes from big box, they are surface grown. So when you submerge them, they need to switch leaves to submerged versions. Trimming shortens the process. Making it easier on the plant to form the correct leaf. Never seemed to make much difference though. never on crypts. Most crypts are converted when you get them and they’re more sensitive and less tough

Basically any plant that can be used in a hydroponic system, which is most plants, including vegetables to feed back to the fish. Or you

Well that answers my question. Wonder shell has both calcium products plus a bit more. In a more convenient form

We use calcium carbonate and dicalcium phosphate in animal feed. I wonder if that would work in a mesh bag. I have 50+ tons just sitting around. Ph shouldn’t be that affected. By kh might go off the scale

Absolutely adds calcium. The question is how soluble is it

I made my wife and daughter one, with a few glo decorations. 36 gallon, painted black with blue lights. they really are very cool looking and tough little fish. I love the natural look of your tank

That one I'm not sure on. I use well water run through an RO system. nothing at all in my water. good or bad, just a blank slate. I do know you have a bit of time to add the dechlorinator. takes about an hour and a half to kill bacteria, let alone the fish. as for how much, no idea

Love your glow fish. they get such a bad rap in places through no fault of their own.

I like to help people if I can

take a pair of tweezers, needle nose pliers, aquascaping tongs and just shove it into the gravels at an angle near the plant center

Anubias is what I’ve tried it on. But they’re a bit tougher than crypts

Upon first planting? That would be a myth. I’ve heard about doing this to other plants grown out of water. But not with crypts. I’ve tried it on other plants, haven’t seen much of a difference. Even if they melt back to form true underwater leaves

Bosemans would be good. And either the honey or dwarf gourami would be fine. Really any kind of tropical fish as long as they’re not too large or too aggressive.
