    I got a chance to visit the outdoor tubs today. My 80+ parents have been good at feeding them. Cheers.

    I noticed that Felix seems to use a seneye component. I am still doing more research on these products. Cory's 2018 video illustrates how long product development takes, compared to marketing. I hope we have a bunch of competition in the aquarium automation and monitoring sector. I want better programming, more interoperability, and better networking. I would love to have little wireless probe hubs that you just plug into power or USB-C chargers.

    CoralVue is working on something too, the Hydros Control. It is also listed for this fall. CoralVue | HYDROS Control 4 WWW.CORALVUE.COM HYDROS Control 4 is a larger, more powerful device with all the capabilities of the HYDROS Control 2 plus additional ports to monitor, control, and...

    I think I found one of the few things @Cory has yet to achieve in the hobby! 😉 Maybe he can make it a goal! 😉

    It looks like there is a new product line in this sector. They talk about open source, which is encouraging. It measures pH, Ammonia, temperature, water level, LUX, kelvin and PAR. The site indicates a fall release. It was mentioned on a stream tonight so I had to look it up.

    Your comment about my tanks was very nice, and I appreciate it.

    Here is the nano sponge filter:

    I currently have one tank where I use a canister filter. I love the intake and spray-bar, but I have some trust issues. The tank is 16 gallons, but I keep the filter in a 20 gallon tub.

    I move my pH and Temperature probes around my tanks periodically. They are currently in my 7.5 gallon, which is where I want to test one of my new Co-Op sponge filters. However, the probes would be directly above the nano sponge filter. Would this affect my readings, and will air collect in the bottom of the pH probe? Edit: Never mind, the output is higher than the bottom of the probes.

    With guppies, do you feel like you will keep needing more tanks?

    My shrimp love the Easy Fry Food.
  12. Streetwise
    Yup. I haven't had problems with any of my orders. I put the plants in my utility tanks for now, and they all look good. I haven't setup the filters yet. I was thinking about the white porous plant packaging. Does it have any second-hand uses, like a filter sock or a water polisher, or some household use? I thought I would ask before binning it.

    I got a shipment and made an amateur attempt at a one-handed unboxing video. The bag was really slippery on the Easy Fry Food, but I just charged ahead. Cheers Share your next arrival!

    Thanks. That was my iPhone with the Osmo Mobile 3, not the Osmo Pocket. I leave the mini tripod attached to the gimbal. Fun fact, Lake Champlain is home to the oldest known coral reefs. I think Isle La Motte, specifically, but there are reefs all around, and we are reminded of them when sailboat racing sometimes. Shouldn't have cut that corner around the island! 😉

    I can share what I do with duckweed and shrimp fry: Shake, shake, shake, then put them in a clear bucket or tank to check for fry and snails.

    Thank you! I’m glad I hadn’t followed through yet. You just saved me some money.

    She wrote a comprehensive book on the science of our hobby which I have found to be invaluable. All of my planted tanks and tubs are run with organic soil from a local composter. There are many methods to running an aquarium, and your goals may not be the same as the next aquarist, but her methods and science are sound. Cheers, Jason

    I thought this might be a fun side topic for us to share. This is a sunset from Shelburne Bay, Vermont.

    I did a little bit of cleaning in my 16 gallon bowfront aquarium. This is my overgrown community tank. It currently has yellow Neos, Otocinclus, Glowlight Tetras, Leopard Danios, White Clouds, and CPDs, but just a few of each. All the fish are refugees from my 20 gallon, when I impulse bought a Rainbow Shark. I am thinking of adding more inhabitants. I think the Glowlight Tetras are the most attractive swimmers of those fish. I feel like I underestimated them. This is the only tank where I use a canister filter, an Eheim Classic 150, because I really like the minimal spray-bar and intake, and I like how ultra basic it is. I just run foam, foam, lava rock balls, foam. The canister is kept in a 20 gallon tub under the table, because where there is a canister, there will be water. This was a saltwater tank in 2011 when Irene flooded my apartment with four feet of water. I'm glad to be back in the hobby, because I almost quit forever.

    Sweet tank, Paul! It looks like you can enjoy it from all sides.

    The prospective tank is a sixteen gallon bow in my indoor tank journal. Temp is probably 73-75°F. This the the water:

    Those things look great. I plan to order the deluxe version. I am sifting soil as we speak, so now I want them for two reasons! Cheers

    Gorgeous tanks Yarden! Very natural-looking. Cheers

    I have not kept it, but the details of classifying it are interesting. From Wikipedia: Süsswassertang (German spelling: Süßwassertang; see ß) is a type of aquarium plant. It was long considered to be a liverwort, which it strongly resembles, but in 2009, a molecular phylogenetic study determined that it is, in fact, a fern gametophyte. Further, it is a species of Lomariopsis.[1] It is closest to Lomariopsis lineata, but may be a new, unnamed species. Many reference sources on the web describe it as L. lineata, but its inclusion in that species has not been validly determined. Efforts to induce the plant to form a sporophyte have failed, which may indicate status as a new species. This plant was first mis-identified as Pellia endiviifolia before the analysis that determined its true status.
