    Well, this seems to be growing will it have to be trimmed and if so what part, also thinking about moving to middle rear of tank I have very few plants that grow no matter what I do. I really like the looks of these plants and hope to save it.

    I don`t know how to move a post, but Streetwise has helped me with things, give him a PM he should be able to help you.

    I have like 25 baby guppies, they're going on 3 weeks or so I should have written date down, they would come out at feeding and cruise at the top, I moved them to a 20L within a few days. Before the guppies were born, I ordered some fry food from CO-OP, they also get BS every day that are in ice cube form. (Frozen after hatch) Only things in the tank with them are two java moss from CO-OP and some MTS and a couple of other snails.

    I like the looks of those, but I think you should put this in the plant topic.

    Is this about not feeding for a day. I have not done that, although maybe 1 less feeding. Baby guppies want fed a lot.🤪

    I don`t have any drama in my tanks (I don`t think so 😕) however, I find myself watching less TV (I spend too much time here) and more time watching what goes on in the tanks. I only have guppies and a few shrimp, they are just fun to watch and some to do clean up. The few other fish I would like to find are ones that most would not care for. Speaking of tanks almost time to turn on lights and see what's going on.

    Great point, I`ve never seen any type of floor over a say a basement that the plank is flat, it just won`t support the weight, same with steel rafters (I think that`s the word I want) aways upright never flat.

    No, I think you will need a special permit or license which would cost money, also you might need special equipment and maybe a real large tank. I think the whole process would be a nightmare. What would happen if you killed the rare/endangered aquatic inhabitant`s.? Well, that's my two cents.😟

    Welcome, how bout Hector or Big Blue those are the only names that jump out to me, way too early to think clearly.

    Welcome fellow Hoosier, nice looking 20L.🙂

    I wonder how much pressure would be needed to lift water 20 - 30 feet, how is that pressure maintained (Air compressor) what about an electric pump there are some good units, probably an app to turn on with a phone or what is used to turn on a lawn sprinkler system they move a lot of water. I would have to think about this and what would be the most cost effective.
  13. BuzzDaddy21
    Yes, welcome I find this interesting.🙂

    I got a net to strain, sometimes not then freeze. I only feed a few so a batch will last a good while.🙃
  15. BuzzDaddy21
    Yes, I got one a while back, works great. I still don`t know what this is.🙃
  16. BuzzDaddy21
    I guess I`m going to need a picture so I know what this is.🤨

    I used flat black from do it best, a quart has done 3 - 40B and 2 - 20L / back, bottom, and sides 3 to 4 coats let dry between coats dries fast and still had a little left over.
  18. BuzzDaddy21
    I have these and they usually hatch within 24hrs. I have thought about this, however that means another tank😵

    When I started back into the hobby a while back, I got 3 different types of fancy guppies (1male/2females) the males were just beautiful, I naturally put in different tanks, over the course of 2 weeks all 3 males died within like 3 days of each other, month or so later 1 of the females died after giving birth to 20 or so babies, then a few days later the other female dies, and I see 1 baby. guppy. I still have 4 of the original females and my daughter got me a young fancy male guppy, he`s strutting his stuff, and doing great. All of the loses were probably my fault because of water quality, I feel bad when any type of life passes away, my daughter says my fish, shrimp and snails are my kids😄 I told her then they need to start paying rent and help with the chores🙃
  20. BuzzDaddy21
    I have no idea; however, I got some guppies a while back and put in 3 different tanks and the first 15 minutes in each tank the guppies were looking around and they looked confused until it was supper time. then it was oh well can`t wait till next feeding, they do look at me, I think they all want more plants. Good luck on your build.🙂

    I have some of this, what's the best way to add. I will check out salty shrimp. I`m so new at a canister, this would be interesting.😕
  22. BuzzDaddy21
    I can guess that there might be several posts about water, but I keep checking my water and most things are ok, I think. When I use test strips, they show my ph. is like 6.4 - 6.8, when I do the drops, it shows between 7.4 - 7.8. my water is very soft. My GH is like 0 yes soft.............KH is 0.......I admit I know nothing of water chemistry. (Nitrates under 20ppm - nitrites 0 for the most part and chlorine 0.) I ask this because I`ve had a few shrimp molt and one died but weeks apart of different types. Now I`m not too smart but it would seem that shrimp would not molt, and more shrimp/fish would die. Those numbers are for all my tanks even the newly set up tanks, two are empty and one has baby guppies/snails. I have watched videos on this subject; however, most goes over my head, or I don`t take time to absorb the information. I`m open to all advice and criticism. Thanks all.

    I just received a Nicrew Aqualux plants light 24-30inch version yesterday I let it warm up before using, it is bright. I have 5 Nicrew lights, so far working well.

    No, but I think that would make the heater more accessible. Going on 4 days with the Fluval 207 and I like it, very quiet.

    For some reason all three 40B are at 70.3d, two 20L, one at 69.3d, and one at 68.5d and a 20T at 68.4d, all tanks in same room. I can see the point about maintenance, yes Gup I now agree with what you said before. Maybe I`ll just forget about heaters for now. (Sometimes it`s nice to take a long walk off a short pier.)🤪
