  1. I few weeks ago I found a bunch of plastic boxes for holding nails on clearance for $1 each at Walmart. Today I got the Idea to take one of them drill a hole in the bottom and pop the top of the outlet tube on my sponge filter. It works pretty well and now I have a media basket to put ammonia pads, phosphate pads, bio rings etc
  2. I installed an AL-60 air pump and realized I need more airstones
  3. Bought one of these fancy thermometers to put in my planted aquarium. The tank only has plants and pond snails in it so I don't have to worry about it breaking
  4. The worms are probably nematodes which can be parasitic. I would try doing a salt cleanse and/or treat for parasites
  5. I don't know much about shrimp, however my father in-law raises them and that appears to be a baby cherry shrimp. I'm not sure how to go about doing a water change though
  6. Went to the aquarium coop partner store "miles of exotics" in liberty, MO
  7. Thanks, the best part is they only get 2.5 to 3 inches long so they can be kept in smaller aquariums
  8. I had to hook it up to a couple to 2 Air pumps to have enough flow, so it's only as loud as those pumps. The original intake kept making grinding noises even though it was brand new, so this is much quieter
  9. I replaced the intake on my HOB with an easy flow filter. This kinda my experiment tank their are no fish in it, just some crushed coral and a lonely piece of dwarf hairgrass
  10. I'm not sure but curious how this turns out, I've seen people use wheat bread before
  11. Maybe the temperature got a little too warm or the parameters changed a bit or they just all happened to take a breath at the same time. As for the bigger one eating/breeding with the smaller one it might just be eating gunk off it's shell. The unfortunate thing is there isn't a lot of information out there regarding snails and there behaviors, so until somebody does a dedicated study they'll remain a mystery
  12. A 10 gallon should be fine for nano fish, just keep an eye on parameters and there shouldn't be any problems
  13. I've been breeding blue tiger parrot cichlids for a few years. Awhile ago my wife bought some platinums with hopes of breeding them, but was unsuccessful. Then I got the idea to pair one of her platinums with one of my blue tigers thinking maybe some would be platinum and some would be blue tiger. The result was the fry having a unique pattern, kind of dalmatian on the front half of there body and zebra stripes on the back half. Im currently setting up 2 tanks to separate them out and see if I can get the line to continue
  14. Here's what I did. It's a bit cloudy having just been set-up but maybe this will give you some ideas
