  1. drums, and an electric guitar would make a larger aquarium seem tolerable!!!😎
  2. ballpark what part of the cities? guessing by quality aquatics, northern area. im close thats one of my go to stores. used to be many more than there is now, but forest lake pets is worth a visit at least once.
  3. the old saying is "better to ask forgiveness, than to ask permission". your mileage may vary, but its worth a try!
  4. have no fear, we all started in the same place!
  5. the only time filtration really becomes overkill is when it causes so much water movement in the tank that it affects the fish.
  6. hard to say from the pic, but if she has ever been near a male, odds are fairly good she is pregnant.
  7. good to see more people from MN here, there's a few of us. welcome aboard.
  8. with just having java ferns you dont need more than 4-6hrs of light a day. also if it is close to a window, daylight through a window will absolutely cause green water.
  9. pick one, and run with it. there is no single right answer.
  10. those are 100% leeches, and you really dont want them.
  11. feel free to rant/have an opinion. great thing about this thread is we get exposed to music that we probably wouldnt listen to otherwise.
  12. you'd probably projectile vomit if you saw mine!!🙈
  13. 7.0 is almost always good to go!
  14. thats what pops into my mind. if you can afford to lose $400 buying something cheap, well whatever. 124 gallons of water loose in your home, now thats something to be concerned about.
  15. the capsule body is of zero concern unless the looks bother you.
  16. in a nicely planted tank like that i like ember tetras for a schooling fish. they arent too hard on shrimp as a bonus.
  17. the more painful the lesson, the faster one learns it.
  18. i would start at 6-7hrs total light. especially just for anubias as they dont need tons of light. just need to find the balance between hours of light/intensity, and fertilizer.
  19. can they be saved... yes. will it be easy, probably not. good news , those nice bright green algae free leaves show the plant is ultimately healthy. id rub off what algae i can with my fingers, then give them a spray of hydrogen peroxide.
  20. plants dont need a filter, they are a filter. keep them wet, give them some light, and some fertilizer. in a bucket or tub is fine.
  21. as mentioned above, and for extra insurance id probably scrub the pieces down in hot water, just to help get it off the wood.
