  1. if the fish are big enough to eat them, sure.
  2. if they are not going to be submerged, just paint them. i am assuming the 2x4's will just be supports or holders, and not in the tank (dont put them in the tank).
  3. because it stops the movement of air. same principle as putting your finger over a straw in your drink and pulling it up out of the cup. it'll hold water until you take your finger off the straw. when the valve see's reverse flow, yes the little flapper in it closes.
  4. the trace amounts of copper in your fish food wont kill snails, or shrimp. high doses will harm them, but the trace amounts in food are actually needed for fish, snails, ivertebrates.
  5. wow, that sucks big time. i would bet that air line is where it drained. if in doubt if the line will stay hooked on things, small zip ties can be cinched down over each connection ( think of it as a poor mans hose clamp).
  6. sometimes with fish poop, and food that can give plants many of the nutrients they need, but even with that plants need to be fed.
  7. it should still draw water up through it the way you have it.
  8. if you havent added any fertilizer, id probably start. they are probably lacking a few nutrients.
  9. maybe, but many people might hesitate if time runs out, and risk themselves. just my opinion, but it should be something people are prepared for mentally.
  10. not to be mean, but people should always be ready to leave them if absolutely necessary. it would for sure be a last resort, but if things get tight, people come first.
  11. Tijauna street taco's, after consuming ample amounts of beer! 😜of course from what i hear of the last 30yrs, dont go to TJ. no one's life is worth a taco.
  12. i would say, they are just trying to eat the shrimp food. endlers/guppy's dont nest, and if food is available, they will keep stuffing their face.
  13. in a 29, id probably go for 3 of them, possibly up to 5. if you can keep any other shrimp alive, amano's are stupid easy.
  14. i dont think it matters much, unless its some really skittish fish.
  15. they might melt, they might not. what i would probably do is plant them, and see what happens. if they dont melt back, once established you can always trim them. id probably trim 30% of them at a time.
  16. if it works, and fits your needs, its not stupid. lots of ways to skin the proverbial cat.
  17. ive never seen that, and been a stress coat user for 25+ years.
  18. i believe its just that the stock they sell is young.
  19. ive seen it in lakes that get a lot of farm fertilizer run off, but ive not seen it in fish tanks.
  20. yup, i have many in my garage. handy for hanging ladders etc, and now pythons!
  21. thats a very nice way to go with one. i wind mine up about the same, but no straps, and stuff it on a shelf in my laundry room. the cheap little hook thing is a great idea.
