    I say go for it. Patch the crack, or find a piece of glass. It's plate glass maybe you can find a glazer that has a piece big enough that you can get or something.

    Some fungus can be treated with salt, maybe someone with a bit more knowledge can chime in

    I use oil for everything metal,but I worked in a machine shop for a while.

    Take the fish out rearrange the decorations and make lots of hiding spots then reintroduce the fish all at the same time. This will help cut down on some of the violence.

    Many fish that people say are aggressive it can be easily averted either by stock numbers, or by having lots of cover. You could get a nice school of angels they are easy going in a tank with cover, and really pretty. I am partial to barbs but I also have acidic softer water. Go with Cherry Barb, endlers, platties,etc. But go big school's lots of just random colours. Just throwing ideas

    Cap the ends and make floats for blocking flow

    I was going to buy pool sand but they only had Clorox brand, so I used playground sand and pea gravel

    These bits are why I like having old fish books for references

    I would just get some stems and let them fill the area in for your gourami to have someplace to hide. My tank is looking a bit erratic but it is easy to rearrange most plants if you aren't happy but how tidy is nature if that's what you want.

    I was just looking into that as an option for them. The kit for filling the windshield voids were cheap when I bought the last one less than 20 dollars.

    You can drill into anything with the right drills for your drill driver.

    If you are only filling up part way then you can wait. But the faux trim tanks are great mine is from that vintage.

    Easy now you have a new project replace the piece of glass and replace the silicone.

    There is light on that end from something because the algae is only concentrated on that end of the tank. I have the Hygger light and the blue light hasn't caused any algae growth. My light runs the default daytime setting. It's been going for around 40 days
  16. johnnyxxl
    I would have suggested either endlers or killies
  17. johnnyxxl
    They need something to hide in, or among, like tall plants or wood

    I am working on a tank that is big like that, I am running sand and pea gravel for substrate, propagate my plants from the cuttings of the stems, for fish I have added so far panda Cory's and otocinclus catfish along with kulhi loaches planning on tiger barbs one of the variations of them a nice big school/shoal

    Make one out of polycarbonate sheet from Lowe's Easy DIY project

    Actually looks like it gets light from the window

    Algae bloom is what you have as far as the hairy stuff. Test and post your water parameters both the tank, and your bottle water. I would bet you either have too much light or too much fertilizer in the tank. Right now I would do daily 10 or 20 percent water charges. Personally I would change either the fertilizer regimen or the light for a few weeks see if the algae dies back/doesn't come back. I know it's easy to panic when something goes bad seemingly over night and try to fix everything at one time, but when you don't know what was really wrong you can't know what you need to change. So let's try one thing give it a chance then we will try something else if that hasn't fixed all of it.

    Your test will break down after it's been added to the water.

    What you want to do is set some water from the tap out overnight and test that. This will get you a better idea what you have for pH from the tap. Then you can figure out what you need to buffer with. I believe most buffer with crushed coral 🪸

    Basically what I was just thinking when I read the post.

    Missed the kulhi loaches trying to get video of them just snaking around the foreground
