  1. Purigen will clear your water so it isn’t an eye sore, however if you connect it to a sponge filter, you’ve created another eye sore. It may work with the sponge, but it’s hard to believe it’s as effective as in a canister or hob. You could purchase a small hob so it could be moved to various aquariums that you’d like to get purigen going.
  2. Waiting 7 days for brand loyalty is very risky in these situations. Like @Tony s stated, in a pinch they’re all the same.
  3. Medium flow as juveniles and med-higher flow when adults for melanotaenia, chilatherina, and glossolepis. Pseudo’s are best kept differently. Rainbows will dart around and will appreciate the water resistance, and it also keeps poop/food off the bottom of the tank and into your intake sponge.
  4. I’ve kept reptiles in the past. 9 times out of 10, you’ll need to reseal. The intense heat from the heat lamp can and will shred silicone. I wouldn’t trust it until it held water for 7 days in a safe location or reseal it. Honestly I’d pass but that’s just me.
  5. Id return it and get a dimmable LED. Just the cost of electricity and bulbs and you’ve already spent more than an a new LED. Personally I’d go with the coop light then you can adjust if it does become an algae farm.
  6. Do you have any extra aquariums? What size aquarium are they in? What do you plan on doing with all the fry?
  7. Temp acclimate and plop and drop, spend the extra time doing other stuff.
  8. I’ve moved 75’s by lowering the water level and removing rock work. Then lift and move. Just be sure to have the muscle. Rolling sounds way better than lifting. I use professional grade suction cups to lift because of the weight, but in your case they aren’t necessary.
  9. They are very short lived fish. Most pseudomugils are annuals meaning they have a lifespan of about a year, give or take.
  10. Anything plastic and cheap works. Stainless if better but not required.
  11. Dude go with the colander, it’s the most practical.
  12. Yep, place a small flat dish on the substrate, place a mug on top of the dish. Carefully pour into the mug and let it pour out slowly from the mug. You’ll get better as you do it more often. After it’s full, take mug and dish out and you’re done. Easy Peasy
  13. @Whitecloud09 where’s the source of water coming from? Are you pouring from a pitcher, bucket, water pump, etc?
  14. That is one hell of a setup, super cool.
  15. Whenever you buy guppies, depending on where you get them, you should hope to get babies before the parents pass which happens often. Higher quality not so much.
  16. At most, I would do a water change before you leave. Other than that, you’re good.
  17. I’ve never heard of a filter eating all your fertilizer. It’s still in the water unless you’re talking about root tabs. I agree with whomever said this above, get the tank setup and the fish that will live in there. With observation, you should easily be able to tell if you need circulation. I wouldn’t even go through all the steps to ramp up circulation because if you ever need it, I’m sure you’ll post a thread here when the time comes.
  18. @Lennie I couldn’t agree more.
  19. A school of mollies in a 20 is bad idea. I’d stick with platies
  20. Why risk putting something in your aquarium that isn’t well researched, just use the krazy glue gel.
