  1. A sunrise or sunset is just a two point triangle in pro mode, aka a ramp-up, or ramp-down. You have ten set points in pro mode to play with, although I wish there were more.
  2. @Torrey, when I top-off water, I pour from a small pitcher onto wood, to disperse the flow. For new aquariums with layered substrates, I have poked holes in empty gravel bags, and poured water onto the bags. If I were feeling experimental, I might put foam media in a breeder box, and pour into that.
  3. I found a nice infographic for tacos:
  4. I did an optional system update, and @Cory updated some modules. The streams (unread, etc.) seem to be working again. @TheDukeAnumber1, Let me know about the current thumbnails, as we can do an automated image rebuild if necessary.
  5. I ditched all of my heaters because I don’t run hot fish. The plants are happy with any room temperature.
  6. I love using topsoil for plants. I hope that this forum has shown that it is easy and simple. I prefer a gravel cap so mulm can join the soil.
  7. @JoeQ, if the window light is significant, maybe let your light go to zero during that time segment.
  8. @JoeQ, it is really going to be specific to what window light you have. I have a few tanks with only window light, and one tank where I had to install blackout curtains to stop window light. Try something and report back in a month!
  9. You do not have to use those hinges for glass lids, if you have a way to open a slice for feeding or access. When I use glass lids, I will measure, and get glass cut and champfered from a local glass window shop. You can get a custom fit for super-cheap, and made very quickly. I think I paid about $15 and waited 15 minutes.
  10. This video is amazing, @Cory! I want to figure out how to do the floating wood for my cousins’ pond.
  11. I did a lot of research, and am very happy with my 55” LG C1. They now have a C2. I am very picky. I also did all the research to optimize settings with my Apple TV, HomePods, and Xbox Series X.
  12. @Torrey, your three questions are excellent, and with a spin, apply to all hobbies.
  13. I only left the trunk open for a few minutes.
  14. Mulm will help enrich the substrate, grow plants, and provide grazing food.
  15. Great topic! Mine are done with organic soil, so I start with a big nutrient battery.
  16. I’m very specific about my forum effort. I’m not sure we could enjoy such a detailed thread on any other forum. Thank you!
  17. @eatyourpeas, how about an organic soil tank with massive soil depth and excessive window light?
  18. @Zenzo is an expert on this species.
  19. @John Henry, try that for at least a few weeks, or even a month. I think you will see a difference. Let us know!
  20. Algae loves blue light, continuous light, and window light. I invested in blackout curtains for one room.
