    Congrats! You can make some money off of those if you'll be patient. Dried oak leaves and some drift wood are favorites for BNPs. Super reds like that are very popular, and should sell well for you.

    And I wouldn't complain for some cash flow, this multi tank syndrome is not cheap here in germany. Il have to chek what the prices would be but il leave them grow for now and enjoy in them

    I got 2 of this beautiful orange plecos almost a year ago from a friend and he didn't know what species they are so if anyone could let me know I would appreciate.

    And ass you can see on pictures I got first spawn from them, now the question is should I leave little guys in tank or pull them out ? They are sharing tank space with some gardneri killifish and bunch of snails.

    Thanks for help

    Frozen food question

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So after seeing last video of auto feeder for fry with dosing pump from KeepingFishSimple I have similar idea for my fish room since I'm working from 06 am till 5pm. Only question I have is how long can frozzen food stay good for consumption after is defrosted in water ? I could refill food every day so I would need it to be consumable for less then 24h. Wouldn't won't to poison my fish. So if anyon has any experience with it I would love to hear your feedback 

    90 gallon corner tank stocking inspiration needed

    Small update, tank is up and runing with fine sand as substrate and few plants ( more to come in next weeks ). 

    I decided i wanna have rummy nose Tetras in it so 40 of them are ordered

    I would like to have corydora juli also inside but not mandatara since I can put them in another tank if needed

     Still cant decide what should be a centerpiece fish lets say. Discus and angels are beautiful fish ( my wife and daughter particularly like discus ) but I find them a bit to chilled out, they move like they have all time in the world and I like more action in tanks.

    That’s a really cool looking tank! 
    how anout. 

    One Green Spotted Puffer along with some Monos or Mollies. 

    Discus and German Blue Rams together. Maybe @Fish Folkwill post a pic of their beautiful tank with those species. 
     

    A fully planted and aquascaped tank with a few schools of bright Tetras, a big centerpiece fish and a bunch of bottom feeders to keep things interesting.

    Yea its really cool tank and guy gave it to me for free, that's tank that was around 1000+ euros. Il only maybe put black foil on wood, still not sure if I like this finish or not. 

     

    Idea is to start slowly, even if takes me 6 months to have it finished, but when is done I want it to have wow factor and that there is always something interesting happening inside.

    Have to start with choosing fish first so I know if it's gonna be sand od gravel substrate. Then do some research on plants and aquascaping, since now I used plants mostly as filtration and hiding place for fry. 

    Have a feeling it's gonna be more of a longer project but when it's done it has to be something that's gonna be magnet for your eyes

    90 gallon corner tank stocking inspiration needed

    So I got a phone call yesterday from a small local fish store asking me if I want a 350L ( somewhere around 90 gallons) juwel corner aquarium for free. It has to go out asap from a waiting room in doctor's office. And I said of course I want it since it's 3 times bigger them my biggest tank at the moment. 

    So I need inspiration what could I keep inside, my daughter and wife would like a bigger fish since biggest one we keep now is siamese algae eater. 

    What we have at the moment : 

    -panda and juli corridoras

    - few hundred or maybe thousands different strains of  guppies (20 tanks in basement set up for breeding)

    -kuhli and brown loaches ( think they are called brown, same as kuhli just no stripes)

    - some bristlenose plecos

    - agassizii double red (1male, 2 females, trying to breed them but no success for now)

    - neon tetras

    - few hundred cherry shrimp

    - Amano shrimp

     

    We are interested in some maybe bigger fish that could comfortably live in that size thank but I was mostly focused on guppies so know little or nothing about other fish. 

    Maybe something that could potentionally be breed for fun and getting little return from hobby since I have fish store where I can unload fish. 

    Not sure should we go with community tank or species only tank ? 

    Maybe something that could occasionally snack a 1-2 months old guppie culs ? ( I'm not talking about the ones that are not right color or shape those are exchanged for some fish food in store and he is selling them for cheaper, talking about the ones that have genetic deformities and their quality of life wouldn't be the best )

     

     

    Counting on some ideas from long time tank keepers since there are hundreds of fish

     

    Thanks

    Check out Tidal Gardens on YouTube he is using this material for the stands in his new facility that he has been building out. He has some large tanks on it, along with casters so that the tanks can be moved if need be.

     

    Actually saw that video while doing research and i like caster idea but i wouldnt put so high rack on it like one im building and those 4 casters are pricel like my whole rack

    MECHANICALC.COM
    This page discusses the calculation of stresses and deflections in beams.

    cropped-SITE-BROWSER-LOGO-180x180.png EXM-3030 – 30mm x 30mm Smooth T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusion | TNUTZ

    WWW.TNUTZ.COM
    These extrusions are 100% compatible with the following manufacturers: T-SLOTS #670007 Bosch-Rexroth #3 842 502 538 McMaster #5537T97

    I don't have the willpower to explain how beam stress works in a forum post. If you want to learn, the first link explains it, and the second link gives the properties of extrusion. Doing the napkin math for 20mm extrusion, you end up with the horizontal beams failing. I am assuming all the weight is a distributed load side beam(666N/m), which is wrong on many levels, but gives a worst case scenario. I end up getting a maximum tensile stress of 400MPa while the tensile strength of aluminum is 200MPa. I must stress this is all THEORETICAL WORST CASE SCENARIO so take it with a grain of salt. In the real world you might be fine with 20mm but I would just stick with 30mm.

    Thanks for help, yea il use 30 mm, price difference isn't so big so better safe then sorry. Since you are familiar with extrusions from what I see which connector types would you suggest for this ?

    I'd suggest plywood sheathing (not osb) instead of particle mdf board. 

    The extruded aluminum sounds like a great idea. 

    I wrote particle board because I'm not really sure what is called in English. Basically that sheet material is used on truck trailers for flooring, its hard and sturdy and water resistant

    30mm extrusion is more than enough. From some napkin math, you've got at least a factor of safety of 5 for the extrusion. The only thing I would change in the design is put the columns on the outside of the horizontal pieces, and make the horizontal pieces 1 long extrusion. It will make putting plywood down a lot easier, as you wont need to cut slots for the columns.

    If I got it right then tanks would be recesed inside for a extrusion thickness.

    And how did you calculated that safety factor if I may ask, so I know for future and maybe even go with size down extrusion

    Hi guys, im in process of building small rack for some guppys, and would like to build it from extruded aluminum. This would be my first rack build and first time building something with T sloted extruded aluminum. So if someone has any experience with it i would like some input. 
    Plan is to you 30x30 mm extrusion but not sure if that would be strong enough ?
