[water volume...]

Hi all.

Anybody know the formula to calculate water volume in an aquarium??

I`m curious to check on a given tank size.😕

In the photo, you will notice that the turnip turned a darker shade of green while sipping at the 10 gallon tank.

Thats really interesting, I can`t keep guppy grass alive so I know I would have trouble with this.

Good job.

[Do surface plants increase water evaporation??]

Well as I read this I wonder if your tanks have lids??? (What am I missing about this.)😕

I`m not too smart about aquariums but I don`t have evaporation with lids.

Do you have a LFS, just a thought?

Maybe try 8 hours.

I think 8 hours or less might help.

Is the tank in getting sun??

7.  PREVENT MYSELF FROM BUYING MORE TANKS!

Thats a nice list, however #7 might be the most difficult.

Good luck.

I would have no idea, but what kind of snails are they.

It's super easy to mix dry fertilizers

Are you talking about the stuff used on lawns??

[New Year's Resolution.]

Hi all, have decided to start over, to try and do this right. (One tank at a time.)

Changing filter system and leaning towards a HOB or canister filter of some sort. (I had canister filter years ago and it leaked.)

Hopefully I will be able to have pictures for this journey.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. (Be safe.)

I owe you an apology because I thought you had 29 different tanks. (I just realized just now that you meant you had a 29-gallon tank.)

I hope I can blame this on old age.😟

This works great, along with co-op salt / eggs.

24 hours and turn on light & they be ready. (I`ve only done this twice and both times were a success.)

[Preferred tank disinfectant?]

50/50 vinegar - water.

Amazon has some, but might be cheaper to buy new top?

No more heaters for me.

I`m also not doing heaters right now, but maybe I should do some.

I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Welcome back - 2022 will be spectacular.

[Polycarbonate lid hack]

Very nice idea for sure.

So far I have a 29 community tank running,

I would think you're a seasoned pro.

I think a crab or three would be interesting. (Do crabs have to exit the water from time to time?)

I can`t wait to see what you decide to do.

[Brine Shrimp ??]

I take the extra brine shrimp and rinse them in tap water then freeze them in these ice trays. Then feed the cubes throughout the week

I have to say that worked very well, NO that idea was great.

I did freeze some in trays (not much water) & in a guart bag, then hit with hammer to get small pieces. (Not feeding many fish)

Was interesting to watch ice melt & brine shrimp falling straight down, guppies went crazy.

Thanks again.

Has anybody used those co2 tabs with any luck?? 

I just tossed my java ferns, looking bad, tired of no results. 

Maybe I`m too impatient.

I send the funky mulm water through the pump without harming the pump

I have had a lot of different kinds of pumps not just for aquariums...

The only trouble I`ve had was with is rocks or twigs. (Items that would damage the impeller usually made of rubber.)
