    Something that kills snails, hurts fish and plants, all while your other tanks are ok... I would start trouble shooting by identifying what is different in this thank compared to your tanks that dont have this issue. My first guess would be that something toxic is leeching out of the substrate, but it would be good to know what the other setups are too.

    @Hobbit I am planning on closing the contest on end of day Friday for entry review and the winner crowned on Saturday!

    They do that so it will get more search hits, hopefully seen more, and bought more.

    My relationship with mac n cheese is one of brutal.. brutal efficiency. In my college days I developed a recipe and strategy to maximize the dollar and minimize time needed for making it. Recipe: 2 boxes kraft mac n cheese & 1 block of spam , tobasco (optional) Follow the steps for maximum time savings. 1) Frist get fully hot water from the tap and fill a pot with an amount of water that looks about right. 2) Place the pot on a burner on high and dump in the noodles. 3) While that is heating up open up the spam, cube it, and throw it in the pot. 4) Next measure out the butter and milk being aware to stir the pot if needed. 5) Once the noodles are tender turn off the burner and turn on the sink faucet to cold. Then using a large slotted spoon to hold back the noodles pour out as much of the hot water as you reasonably can into the drain and shut off the faucet. Do not worry if it appears too much water is left behind, this will evaporate off in the next steps. 6) Place the pot back onto the originaly used but turned off burner, then push the butter to the bottom of the noodles and stir until melted. 7) Once the butter is near fully melted pour in the milk, give the pot a quick stir and then add the cheese powder and give the final stir. 😎 enjoy your most classy meal and leftovers, add tabasco to taste!

    IMO shut down the CO2 atm and just run a couple air stones in the tank to keep everything alive, oxygenated, and water moving. Then fully address the issue when you get back.

    Just a follow up fyi. I will create an "sign up" thread for the taco eating contest a week before contest start for entry, to lay our rules, and for pre game discussion. Then I will post the official contest thread for submitting entries at the beginning of NERM week.

    I posted about that and there are other with good builds too. Tubs can do very well with no air at all so I wouldn't be concerned with intermittent air flow. And when heat and low oxygen will be at its worse is when the sun is on the tub but the air stone will be running to combat that. I live in IL so not nearly as hot, but my solar setup so far that only runs while the sun is shining has been working out well, even with days in the mid 80's with direct sun most of the day.

    I can't tell what they are, a more detailed photo may help. But don't say yipes yet, many creatures like this are harmless and can even be beneficial, and they may just die out on their own with no action needed.

    Finally got a photo of the springtails that have been calling my aquariums home for over a year now.

    In an effort to reuse I turned an old coffee filter to a floating "breeder box".

    Your heart is just too big for this hobby Brandy :P

    3d printed a few air stones, In ACO green! Or close to it.

    @Hobbit @Aubrey I can help with organizing a taco eating contest. I figure we can do an entry thread and a final contest photo thread where you have to post before and after photos? I'm happy to Co host it with you Aubrey if you're interested.

    With good feeding it only takes a few months for them to mature and start breeding.

    A heavily planted 12g with floaters will be plenty for 24 least killifish. The population will explode quickly if you feed well but your floaters will help filter and they are a very hardy fish. I have a bunch in a 10g only running plants and air stones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkSw5-udjY0

    Looks a lot like a blackstripe topminnow.

    I just make sure the temp of the bag water is within a few degrees of the tank water so they don't get temperature shock then I put them in right away.

    Ebay is another place to look for the usb air pumps, hopefully you can get lucky and find one locally. Mentioned above I took an old 6 volt solar panel from a solar light and spliced the wires from the solar panel directly into the USB air pump wires. It has been running well for a couple weeks now. I have run just a single airstone in my 100gal ponds before but Cory kept saying his is best pond is one with no power at all. So I'm not worried at all about no filter and no air running when there isn't sun. I mostly just want the air running during those hot direct sun days to keep the oxygen high in the worst heat.

    @demicent We recently had a thread about this topic. https://forum.aquariumcoop.com/topic/11357-nano-airpump-lifespan/?tab=comments#comment-88895
