  1. I use these. Circulates water from the spawning tank, I've never had to use chems to prevent fungus. https://www.amazon.com/Marina-Hang-On-Breeding-Box-Large/dp/B005QRDCP2/ref=asc_df_B005QRDCP2/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167116240456&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1076134895838096400&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9033402&hvtargid=pla-306918540865&th=1 I also drop in a few cherry shrimp.
  2. That's how I do it, minus dividing into zip-locks. When thawing frozen to re-freeze, only thaw to the point where you can work it into smaller portions.
  3. What is different about the bacteria? That slimy stuff sounds like bio-film and is a healthy part of the ecosystem.
  4. Here something that might help. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/pages/help-center#/collection/4962/article/24531
  5. Is there a specific reason you want to keep it below 40? Not a bad thing but probably not necessary, I keep my heavily planted tanks @80'ish. I see that one of those filters is good for 80 gallons so it's probably not a filters issue since you are running 4 of them. Either more water changes and or more plants. And back off on the easy green a bit. Are there nitrates in your source water?
  6. If I was looking to speed things up a bit I'd use (and have used) Fritzyme 7. I have never not at least put plants in from the start, and have never went without light. With or without fish you will need to feed the tank.
  7. Hardware stores and Amazon. A local pet store near me also has it.
  8. Just a suggestion for when the little ones arrive. I feed frozen baby brine as it sinks right to the bottom where they will be looking for food. I mix with spirulina powder and make ice (shrimp cubes) they gobble it up. If you don't want to hatch and freeze you can purchase frozen baby brine. I also fed the coop fry food with and without spirulina powder, mix the fry food with water first so it goes right to the bottom.
  9. I can't send directly so here goes. @Cory Hey Cory, I'm going to be building some new nesting boxes to replace a couple that have seen better days. Would you be interested in a couple? They are super simple, we have had many years of enjoyment listening to the young ones and watching the parents coax them out of the box for their first flight. Do you ever get ducks in your pond? I have a curiosity if a wood duck box would attract any attention. We have had wrens, finches, and swallows use ours year after year. Thanks for reading Kevin
  10. I have an FX-6 on a tank with a 1.25 rim and it just barely fit. I would have to cut it to get it back off.
  11. With the lower temps you might consider Bolivian Rams. I've had rams with shrimp, you just need to give them loads of cover.
