  1. Still at zero, I even went out and bought test strips today just to be sure I wasn't messing up the liquid tests. I've had an air stone going since I started the tank. Thanks
  2. Yeah I've had nitrates. The tanks been up for 4-6 months, was an early covid project. I used cycled media from another tank to jump start this one, and I have a good bit of plants. I'm struggling to keep them fed, mostly stem plants and water lettuce. Thanks for the idea.
  3. Man I wish I could watch at work, I am forced to just listen in with my bluetooth ear protection... everyone thinks I'm big on safety. Nah, I just like my fish videos.🤣
  4. Any ideas? still getting random deaths, this is the only tank having issues.
  5. Love this setup so much I gotta copy it! I finally found an older 55 gallon with no center brace and am about to order some bins to do what you do, are these the right ones? https://www.containerstore.com/s/kitchen/pantry-organizers/idesign-linus-open-cabinet-organizers/12d?productId=10027637
  6. Went to a outdoor club sale... got to sell a bunch of stuff and buy a bunch of fish!
  7. I do and have used metal racks like the gladiator units. I really like the 2ft wide pallet racks if you can find them for 20Hs, and work for 10s with wasted space in the back. The benefit with the pallet racks is you can get different width shelving to fit your needs. The shelves I use have a rating of 2500lb per shelf, so theres no sag with the tanks installed
  8. Cory has a video on using cinder blocks and 2x4s to DIY a shelf which I've used in the past, Teds fishroom also has a video on DIY shelving out of 2x4s which I am now using. I have seen a few youtubers use the gladiator racks from homedepot but I'm not a fan of them for fish tanks, love them for random garage and house storage.
  9. I would do a sump, so many options for media and its so easy to clean/change stuff out. you can drill the sump for auto water change as well. Just make sure you get it squared away so in a power outage you don't overflow the sump.
  10. Dude congrats on quitting smoking! Treat yo self! (yeah I'm a parks and rec fan 🤣)
  11. What I've started to do is put some rocks into a container filled with water and giving it lots of light to encourage the growth of algae and plan to put these rocks into the aquarium one at a time. I'll just keep swapping as needed to help feed. I wish I could take credit but I read it somewhere here on these forums.
  12. Hope to see you October 4th for the big tailgate sale! Lots of cool fish have been listed for sale already.
  13. Good to have you in the hobby! If you are close to NOVA check out Potomac Valley Aquarium Society, Greater Washington Aquatic Plant Association and Capital Cichlid Association, hopefully see you at a club meeting one day! (Also from MD)
  14. I stumbled across the video with Cory talking about feeding first bites to a filter feeder "3 best beginner shrimp for freshwater aquariums [live stream]" was the video at 46 minutes
