  1. Im super clumsy and have knocked over my test tubes on more than one occasion so i knew i needed something like this but i just hadnt taken the time to do it. When i saw your stand today i decided i was done putting it off so i went out and made one out of an off cut i had lying around. So thanks Dave, if you hadnt made yours i probably never wouldve actually made one for myself.
  2. Those are very cool. You should post some pics after you set the tank up id love to see how it turns out
  3. This is my first mini pond. Im still setting it up. I know its a bit late in the season but i live in a very warm area of los angeles so it should be fine. I ordered some plants from aquarium coop last night to get it started.
  4. Id say i have a bit higher flow than normal in this tank for them but its not directional like a powerhead or anything. I just hot rodded the filter that came with it by removing the crappy cartridge and replacing it with aquarium coop sponge pad which increased the flow quite a bit. And then i added a sponge filter right up against a rock so that they can hang out on it in the flow. To be honest they dont spend most of their time in the high flow areas. They seem to treat the high flow more like a playground that they go flutter around in throughout the day.
  5. Your backgrounds look great, im gonna have to give this a try sometime! It sounds like i actually have all the materials needed in the garage right now. Ive never done a background before but i feel like it really takes the tank to that next level. So you basically just sprayed insulating foam onto foam board and then poured sand over it right?
  6. Thanks! i found a guy about 20 min from me that does all sorts of stuff with them. Hes on instagram @ojai_crafter if you wanna check his stuff out. He gave me a great deal and cut me a 3/4 barrel so that i have a bit more room, i think its around 55gal.
  7. I just wanted to share some photos of my tiny reticulated hillstream loach fry. These fish are so cool and unique. I knew that i had a female and a male but i was not expecting to see fry so quickly! I am super excited that they’ve bred. I’ve counted three total so far and they seem happy and healthy.
  8. Im stoked to see youre doing this! I am setting up a pond of my own currently, also in so cal and have been looking At these wondering if they would run an air pump reliably. Cant wait to see your results.
  9. Heyoo from Los Angeles, CA! Im pretty new to hobby, i set up my first tank about 8 months ago. Ive already added a second tank and am setting up a mini pond. Ive bred some long fin leopard danios and reticulated hillstream loaches so far and im looking forward to being active on here and seeing what you guys have been working on!
