    I keep a lot of snails in mine. 😊

    Bill, am always amazed of the many uses of hot glue. The project is indeed progressing. 😊

    Pete, They are a stem plant. You can cut & replant. 😊
  4. DaveSamsell
    Now that would be interesting. 😊
  5. DaveSamsell
    Very nice set-up. Neat & clean looking. 😊

    Maybe we can tap into Juan Ponce de León's principles of the Fountain of Youth to solve this caper? 😊 Perhaps @Cory will figure out the cure someday. I think that's half the battle with things, one needs a sincere & true interest in the hobby to begin with, like Cory.

    @Sunny Doan, Sounds like the plants are adapting after a bit of time. That ph should be fine, IMO. My Pogo plants grow like weeds in my hard water. Very fast growth. From my experience, they do like water on the harder side, it seems.

    Excellent. Thank you. 😊
  9. DaveSamsell
    Thank you very much. Very helpful information. 😊

    @pedrofisk How about aquarium water that stops the aging process of fish??? 🤔

    Michael, @Bay Area Aquatics What is a good camera for taking close ups of aquarium fish? Was always interested in photography, but never really got into that hobby. Thanks. 😊

    Plus, I live in a small town called, Moscow, as well. 😊
  14. DaveSamsell
    Mike, I would have to say both. 😊

    The more I look at these smaller aquariums, the more interesting they become to me. Very nice....😎

    Or should the title be "Man modified by fish"? 🤔

    I had some awhile back. It really likes low light. Mine was basically free floating, but did place some on a log in one of my aquariums. It is very hardy. Hope this helps. 😊

    Yes, that was strange. Perhaps too much internet traffic.

    I like to do experiments, modifications and build things, in general. Having said that, I would like to share one with you. *** Note: All information presented herein is for informational use only. For safety reasons, do not imitate. *** Some of my aquariums have a fairly strong water flow that can make feeding time, for the fish, a bit difficult. My foods for the fish are often times, of fine particles, and it doesn't take much water movement to make a mess. Many filtration systems don't have adjustable flow outputs. So I was thinking, how about adjusting the power input? By using a variable transformer, I can limit the amount of voltage fed to each aquarium filter. It comes in handy during maintenance, feeding, etc. The filter simply plugs into the the transforming unit. The water can be slowed down to a trickle and then turned back up, when I wish, or simply left at a lower rate of flow. It is a lot easier than unplugging each filter individually and hoping they don't lose water prime. In the United States, 120 (volts alternating current) VAC is the common household voltage. Plus or minus a few volts of course (dependent on many factors, of which I won't get into right now). You can see, by turning the variable dial, the input voltage is decreasing, thereby, slowing the water flow. And, a bit lower....

    I agree. Many people try to play 'God' , at many levels. Unfortunately, money is often the driving factor.

    Hi Michael, Good to see you. Welcome aboard. Love your videos, BTW. 😊 Favorite Guppy: Blue Moscow.
  22. DaveSamsell
    Very nice article, Mick. 👍
  23. DaveSamsell
    No, never had a box filter, until I DIY'ed this one.

    A Comparison: Many things in "societal evolution" are not pure. As an example, look at the GMO's, antibiotics & many other chemicals added just to our world's food supply. I feel, just like the unknown long-term effects on fish with it's specific research & implementation, the other shoe still hasn't dropped on the effects on us, with our possible health concerns. Just because technology can accomplish a task, doesn't necessarily mean it was the best choice.

    Thanks for the review. Am seriously considering purchasing one. 😊
