    Like a super red, albino, etc.

    Hello! I'm having the hardest time trying to find out what kind of longfin bristlenose pleco this is. Any help is much appreciated! Also if you have any tips on identifying fish please leave them below! Thanks! -Scott L.

    So I found this growing in a brackish water ghost shrimp tank at work and we're completely stumped. Also it secrets a white milky gunk when touched underwater. Any help is appreciated.

    Yeah! I have a bunch of plants. Stem plants of all sports, anubias, Java fern, pennywort, and more lol. I'm using a Bio-wheel 350 (the older version of the 375) Awesome! Thank you for the advice! I have a bunch of plants xD EDIT: the white skirt and glofish are super similar in shape and size. Yep! I've tried that. Even added air and heat.

    I know this question has been asked 1,000 times so I apologize in advance, I just wanted to hear some opinions from like minded nerms. I have a 60 Gallon Tall (which is a weird tank, but I got a good deal on it) with 1 Angel, 1 White Skirt Tetra, and 1 Glofish Tetra. I have another Angel and Oto-cat in a QT Tank that I plan on adding eventually. My Tetras are pretty territorial and skidish. So I wanted to add more to make them more comfortable. How many more white skirts and glo tetras could I add to make them shoal together while keeping the tank slightly understocked (less frequent water changes)? I'm trying to keep the tank understocked because I have to get my water from the town over. The reason being.. my tap has a pH of 9 and a KH of 10 so its really hard to adjust/ I don't want to chase pH/ my fish are used to the other towns water. I've done a ton of research to find a better way but this is the only way that's affordable at the moment. Thank you for your time! (Sorry for the bad formatting, I'm on mobile)

    I was wondering if it's possible to crush 'crushed coral' into a powder to increase surface area when trying to raise KH? I've had crushed coral in my tanks for a bit now and I can't seem to get my KH higher than a 2. Has anyone tried to do this before and if so, what was the result? Also I assume that the dosing would be much smaller? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, -BisScottie

    Interesting lol. I don't think its a disease though. Maybe I need to find some info on snail anatomy?
  8. BisScottie Non-Ya
    Wow!! How did you get your Anubias to flower?
  9. BisScottie Non-Ya
    hmmm.. Possibly?
  10. BisScottie Non-Ya
    I decided to take some close up shots of my snails and noticed this white "hand" looking stuff on its shell. Does anyone know what that is? I assume it has something to do with growth? I don't think its a disease so I'm posting in general discussion. I'd love to hear if anyone has seen anything similar?
  11. BisScottie Non-Ya
    Thank you! It was my first actual attempt at aquascaping.

    Before After This snail tank started out as a plant grow out tank that I put next to my indoor plants for an experiment. Next thing I knew there was a bunch of snails so it became a snail grow out. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions feel free to ask!
  13. BisScottie Non-Ya
    Yeah! Its hard since I'm living in my grandparent's basement and any damages caused I'll have to pay for. Which can get pretty expensive. Its actually a 60 gallon tall. Super weird right? Also the tank was made in 2011 so that worries me as well :/
  14. BisScottie Non-Ya
    I'll have to recheck it! I still have the old test kit. I'll have to do a side by side comparison if you're interested? I measured the dose according to the 5ml line. I might start using a medical grade needle to measure 5ml. My girlfriend is in nursing school so stuff like that is super easy it get (* ^ ω ^)
  15. BisScottie Non-Ya
    Thank you! I feel like I'm really overthinking this whole issue. I live with my grandparents at the moment and if the tank leaks.. I have to pay for repairs which can be super expensive. So this whole thing has been running circles in my head.
  16. BisScottie Non-Ya
    That's a really good point. So here's my thought... remove the foam, keep the plywood, shim under the cinderblocks until the tank is true and level when its full? The foam stemmed from the yoga mat/corkboard idea that was brought up earlier, so I thought more might be better. lol
  17. BisScottie Non-Ya
    There is still a piece of wood under the foam. It goes Tank - Foam - Plywood - Cinder Block.
  18. BisScottie Non-Ya
    @s1_ @Cory Ok, I'll need to rework the foam. Maybe I can cut out the inside part of it so its only on the edges? I sadly I can't put it under the wood since its already indented quite a bit. Also the foam cost me an arm and a leg because I had to get it from a specialty store so it would be another $40 for enough to redo it Thanks for the advice! Any suggestions are welcome.
  19. BisScottie Non-Ya
    UPDATE: (I figured I would keep this thread going rather then make a new one) I decided to take some high density foam and place it underneath to "auto-level" and reduce pressure points. Here are some pictures of what it looks like halfway filled. Please pardon the mess :( After filling I noticed that some of the foam is touching the bottom glass panel but I'm able to push down on it so I don't think its load bearing. Do you think this could cause an issue long term? I decided to fill the rest after waiting 3 days without any leaks. I waited another week to confirm that the foam is working and the tank isn't leaking. No leaks were found and it leveled itself out perfectly! I'd like to thank everyone for their help again! @Cory @Ben Ellison @JRaffy Here is where the tank will stay until I get some paint for the cinder blocks. I'll keep updating this thread until the tank is finished!

    Thank you so much for clearing this up. This issue has been driving me insane lol. You have my eternal gratitude Cory! (Edit: I'll be sure to thank you by doing what your signature says!)
  21. BisScottie Non-Ya
    So I'm trying to make a fish tank stand using the concrete block method. I've tried using 2 x 4's on it and I just cut these pieces of plywood out to see if they'll be true. I know that all 4 corners need to be touching so it doesn't twist but no matter what I do I can still fit stuff underneath it. I've watched Co-Op's and Joey's videos on building one and this specific issue is never brought up. Can someone please help me figure this out and in return I will send you my eternal gratitude?
  22. BisScottie Non-Ya
    That's a really good point! Thanks for pointing out the silver lining
  23. BisScottie Non-Ya
    Thank you for letting me know! I ordered a 10 gallon quarantine tank
  24. BisScottie Non-Ya
    I purchased a 60 gallon fish tank off of nextdoor a month or two ago and it came with a bunch of stuff including an API Freshwater Master Test Kit. They didn't have the expiration date (only a lot number) on them so I figured they were fine, but after a few months of testing (Also logging it on Google Sheets) I started to notice a ton of weird results. For example the pH test would be a different color every time I tested it. I decided to reach out to API to see if they were expired, this is what they said So all of my water parameter data and diagnosing for the past few months is wrong because the API Master Test Kit I have is expired. I feel like such a fool, but I figured I'd share this will all of you so someone else doesn't go through this.
  25. BisScottie Non-Ya
    Here it is! I made a copy of my original one. Let me know if you have an issues viewing it. @Heather Forum Share of Aquarium Data - Google Sheets DOCS.GOOGLE.COM 10 Gallon Date,Time,Temp (F),pH,High pH,Ammonia (NH3/NH4+),Nitrite (NO2-),Nitrate (NO3-),KH,GH,Water...
