  1. They do sell pre-bent conduit at a 90° angle. You could just add straight pieces with couplers, for affixing to the stand and extending over the tank
  2. Daydreaming about a rimless paladarium, half land mass with tropical houseplants lit from above, Amazon river fish below, à la Serpa Designs inspired.
  3. Finally made the investment yesterday. Currently under a blizzard warning, single digit temperatures, wind gusts up to 70 mph, and up to 15in. of snow through the weekend. Should I lose power this will keep my 110g African Cichlid tank warm and happy. I would have liked the next biggest model of generator but they were sold out at the stores around me. I'm hoping I don't need to use it so I can return it and get the bigger one. My plan is to wait until I'm without power for 6-8 hours. I'll be able to keep air and heat in most tanks. I'll have to let some livebearers go without heat if I do lose power. If it gets too cold I can rotate heaters between tanks 🤞 Always run generators outdoors away from doors and windows, ethanol free gas if you possible, 5w-30 weight oil in below freezing temps
  4. They're doing good, I've just started tinkering with them again recently. I've had them all in planted 29g, on autopilot for six months or so. They seem to be breeding male heavy so the numbers haven't quite boomed. Last weekend I started separating out some breeding groups to start other colonies. I added two groups to 20H's in the fishroom with plans to move one group into a 40B with some Calico Koi Platys. I'm moving extras males into my 90g with Rainbowfish to live out their days and look pretty with them. Thanks for asking, I'm pretty bad at updating my threads.
  5. Got some nice cases for my membership coins to display in the fishroom 👌 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GZABZ9O/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  6. Thats what my Murlok fittings are rated for, I haven't had a leak or a problem at that pressure I believe so? As water is forced through the membrane at a higher pressure it is more effective, I'm not too versed in RODI science.
  7. I have Aquatec booster pump on my setup, it runs around 90psi when in use. My storage and pumping setup can be seen in the attached comment
  8. I've been rewatching Hap & Leonard on Netflix
  9. Great NERM birthday book, one off the wishlist. Amazing photos and helpful information on each species
  10. I use one of these water transfer pump. I have to attached to pex tubing, it pumps the water overhead across the basement to a sink to drain. I use a Python hook, aquaclear filter tube and a pre filter to strain the water. I use a remote control outlet switch to turn the pump on and off when switching between tanks in the fishroom.
  11. Caught and released a nice Bluegill this morning 🎣
  12. I have since switched to Fritz RPM salt, I have noticed better hatching with it
  13. Picked up a group of Angelfish and some white/gold female guppies for breeding projects.
  14. I've built them for all my display tanks. I like them for keeping the lights off the glass hinged lids and thus allowing me to keep a light over the front glass where fish are usually in a shadow. Also for blocking light spillage into the room. They can help to keep heat in too.
  15. I always get that one too 🙄
  16. I had a my local glass shop cut me custom lids for my 90 gallon. Its 1/4 inch glass, split down the middle so each half can come out of the canopy doors for maintenance. A 3 inch hole drilled in the center allows for feeding. I have glass squares with a stick on handle that cover the holes for evaporation. I run a Stringray light on each side, front and back of the glass, something you can't do with hinged lids.
  17. Recently got some Purple Mystery Snails, I never expected a snail to be so pretty 😍
  18. I keep one on a door of every aquarium stand. Always there when I need them, also displays my Nermness 👍
  19. Got some good shots of baby Super Reds on a Ziss Bubble filter
  20. You can sign up for their general email promos to see when sales are starting
