What are your everyday joys in aquarium keeping?
Streetwise replied to OnlyGenusCaps's topic in General Discussion
I really enjoy stability. When I get surprises at work, I can come home to tanks that just need a little food and water. I also enjoy helping with the forum, and taking photographs.- 26 replies

Rinsing filter media in tap water, fact or fiction?
Streetwise replied to Scott P.'s topic in General Discussion
@Tihshho, clean is not important to me. I run organic soil tanks with more plants than fish. Your mess sounds excellent to me. -

I only recently activated this setting, but it was for a good reason. The time is short, like eating a sandwich or doing a sink’s-worth of dishes. I may adjust it, but I don’t want to be specific.

Rinsing filter media in tap water, fact or fiction?
Streetwise replied to Scott P.'s topic in General Discussion
@Ken, @Keeg, I grew up with perfect well water, so I could get away with 100% water changes before I knew any better. It is nice knowing that your water is safe. -

Rinsing filter media in tap water, fact or fiction?
Streetwise replied to Scott P.'s topic in General Discussion
With the new multi test strips, I have realized that my chlorine is undetectable, so I don’t even bother with off-gassing, and I stopped with conditioners a while back. I wouldn’t have any problems rinsing in tap water. However, my snails, shrimp, and grazers clean my sponges for me, so I haven’t cleaned any of mine yet. I do squeeze out HoB sponges in a bucket so I can optionally save the mulm, and check for hitchhikers. -

Using Tea to add tannins, has anyone tried these ;~?
Streetwise replied to Wellxam's topic in General Discussion
You can also let maple leaves decompose in a bucket with an air stone to make tannins, or get some Mopani wood. I’m a big fan of tannins. -
Fluval Plant 3.0 Scheduling and Programming
Streetwise replied to Streetwise's topic in Community Resources
Will your tank be rimless? The height control of the Nano is pretty cool, and you can route an airline through it. The 15” is nice too, and you can find 3D printed risers on sites like Etsy. Apparently Fluval also has a pendant kit, but I have not tested it. If you look at my indoor journal, you can see all the ways I have tried my lights.- 371 replies

Is this a Photo or an Illustration?
Streetwise replied to FlyingFishKeeper's topic in Off Topic General
I bet it is a photo run through a brushstroke filter. @JimmyGimbal probably made it. -

I screwed up and got the herpes (duckweed)
Streetwise replied to Beau1990's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
When removing Duckweed, I make an effort to shake, shake, shake; shake my hair pick. This moves the shrimp off, and drops the snails. I still like to check with a clear bucket to be sure. -
Not an aquarium meme, but we must have a lot of introverts here.

@Reggie444, you might want to create a tank journal!

I have tried many different skimmers, and I always have the same question for each unit: how does it deal with changing water levels?
