    I can’t wait to see it. I remember watching the six-hour laserdisc version, or whatever it was, in 1993 or 1994. It was quite the deep dive into Dune. Blade Runner is my most influential movie. I read books and wrote college papers about the production. I try to only watch it occasionally so that it remains fresh. 2049 was a nice surprise as a sequel.

    @Guppysnail, I show the flow options in the thread, and you should be able to cut coarse sponge to fit. I downsized the Aquaclear foam since that thread was last updated. It also fits Co-Op pre-filter sponges. You can also see it in my Indoor journal.

    @Zenzo, have you seen the Dymax Slimflo filters? I love my SF-500 units. They don’t auto-drain, self-prime, have rugged plastic, adjustments for rim width, and fit a couple sizes of Aquaclear sponges. The symmetry was very important to my aesthetics. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KMKWCZJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_K6G540N9VDPDBES7H7KB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Tested and documented in that thread.

    As a kid, I threw a ping pong ball into a goldfish bowl at the Champlain Valley Fair. I also grew up around woods and water, and always felt a connection to nature. I did freshwater with plastic plants as a youth, marine in college and again as an adult, and now organic soil aquariums.

    Sometimes the easiest solution is to just cut off the end of the tubing. Some tubing is better-optimized for aquariums and lights.

    Window light is very specific to location, direction, and shade. You can diffuse it with speaker grills, foam, paper, plastic, vinyl, etc.

    Light and sound are very interesting topics. Physics is one thing, and perception is another. I have a one-hour night phase on one tank per room, where I run blue. Anything more than 1% is not relaxing. Blue grows plants, but grows algae faster, so I limit my use.

    An Apex Neptune could monitor water or power and send an alert based on various conditions. Pricey, but cheaper than a leak or property damage. My leak detection kit has provided nice peace-of-mind.

    I feel this. Best wishes!

    @Burbotlips, you should be able to look up state information for invasive species in your local bodies of water. If you haven’t seen them before, I have a video that shows them: This is on Lake Champlain, which connects to the Hudson to the south and the Richelieu to the north, and the Great Lakes from there, and with the Atlantic from both directions.

    My sources of mulm include organic soil, fish waste, and decomposing wood, which is chewed on by various inhabitants. I stage water and floating plants that I remove, and squeeze out sponge filters, all to save snails and shrimp fry. I just can't pour out the mulm, when it is so full of aquatic life and nutrients.

    @Torrey, I love it!

    I had to de-tune the air-stones, and lower the water levels. Two of these just have mulm for substrate.

    My mind: “Shovel, spoon, spork, spatula? Fish!”

    I think the key for aquarium wood is having a higher density than water.

    @Cory, match the font, and you can have EASYGREEN containers: YouTube members, check the video!

    Another neighbor, one fence over, just gave me some nice plants and fruit. She is also friends with Valcour. My cat is more extroverted than I am.

    Some folks have done 3D-printed risers.

    This is an example of aquarium stability.

    I agree. Jungle Vallisneria.

    Nerms are C.A.R.E. Forum members. The word origin is a fun story.

    That looks beautiful!

    Best wishes! I am also treating a Betta this week. Your tank looks really nice.
