This will be my first time ever and I am flying from California. Any suggestions for traveling back by plane? Not sure what is allowed on the airplane that I can bring back. -
Thanks for the tips! I did everything to prepare as best I could! Would you believe the power only went out for a whopping 5 minutes!!!!!! Oh, well! I am prepared for anymore in the future!
-
Thanks for answering my questions! I'm going to get some battery air pumps for now and think about a generator in the near future.
-
Thanks for the reply! I will definitely get some battery air pumps and I know a great place to get them from!😉 Thanks for the suggestions! I'm going to get some battery air pumps! Thanks for the tip! I'm hoping the temps won't drop too low because I have a tank of discus. Thanks for responding! I will probably be checking the temp on my discus tank throughout the night!

I just received notice from my electric company that there will be a 9 hour power outage scheduled for my address next week. I have 8 tanks all over my house (2 10-gal, 3 20-gal, 1 75-gal, and 2 125-gal) that run on 5 HOB filters and 4 canister filters. Would it be best to get some battery powered air pumps to run sponge filters? Will my BB survive the outage? I'm fairly new to the hobby so I want to try to prepare the best I can. I appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

Any advice for switching the black inlet strainer on the intake tube with an Aquarium Coop medium pre-filter sponge? I feel like I am always cleaning off the strainer and I thought maybe a pre-filter sponge would be more efficient. Will this have any negative impact on the filter motor? Any input would be helpful. TIA!

@xXInkedPhoenixXThanks for your reply! Unfortunately I don't think there are any exotic vets near me for diagnosis. Maybe I can send a video to someone. I will have to do some research. In the meantime, I will just continue to enjoy him!
-
@LifeisgoodThanks! It is very sad but he is such a happy fish when he is in the tank with everyone else. I guess there is no treatment for a tumor other than surgery? I think all I can do is let him live out the rest of his life and enjoy him while I can.
-
Thanks @Colu I haven't tried any meds yet because I had no clue of what it could be. I thought maybe a tumor as you suggested but I didn't know what to do for that. He is such a sweet fish and I don't want to lose him.

300 gal stock tank w/no lid - 5 fancy goldfish - sand substrate - anubias on wood - suggestions for clean up crew/tank mates?
-
Thanks @Cory

I have 14 goldfish in a 300 gal pond showing bacterial/fungal symptoms. Moved them all to QT tanks and treating with Maracyn and Ich-X. My question is how to treat the pond that has a sand substrate and anubias plants? Do I need to do anything other than a large water change? Is there anything I can put in the pond to kill any possible parasites/bacteria before putting the fish back in after their treatment? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
-
@Jeremy BThanks for the ideas! I will look into this option!
-
Thanks for this link! I like this idea but I'm not sure if my DIY skills are this good!😂 If I could make something like this as a floor light on each side with adjustable lights on each pole, that would be golden!

I didn't want to mess with the ceiling since we do use the chandelier sometimes. My husband doesn't mind me changing the chandelier to one that has lights pointing downward rather than upward. I want to be able to have the lights on a timer so I was actually looking for 2 floor lamps (shouldn't get knocked over if I'm careful!) that would work. I have attached pictures to show the room that might help. Are there any shop lights already built like a floor lamp?
-
@ChefConfitThanks for the tip! I am looking for some that can hang from a stand so they will be closer to the pond than the chandelier because the ceiling is so high.
-
@jerseychefI remember watching that video. I looked back through it but I didn't find anything telling the lights he used. I'll keep searching...
-
@Aquatic JournalThanks for the information and explaining the best range for good penetration through the water.
-
@DanielThanks for the suggestion! I will check these out!

Any suggestions for floor lamps that provide adequate lighting for growing plants in my indoor 300 gal goldfish tub? I have looked at floor lights from Lowe's and Amazon but I'm not sure of what to buy. Looking for lights I can plug into my timers.
-
@StevelsntSorry - Can you suggest what type of light bulbs I should consider that would be strong enough to promote good plant growth? Also, is it possible to have a timer somehow on the chandelier? As you can see, I don't know much about this type of lighting.
-
@MickS77Thanks for the reminder! I remember watching that video! I do recall @Corytalking about the track lighting.
-
I have just put a 300 gallon goldfish pond in the front foyer of my home. I want to change the current hanging chandelier to some type of track lighting for the plants in the pond. I will probably have an electrician do the installation but I want to find the type of lighting myself. I have Fluval plant lights on my 125 and the plants seem to grow well. Can anyone suggest what lighting specs/track lights I should look for so that the plants get enough light each day? I appreciate any suggestions.
