Funny I just took one yesterday. I'm pretty sure this is a male.

I currently already have them in a 60 gallon, 4' tank. There is a lot of coverage and tons of caves. I'm a heavy feeder and they are still young, just now starting to show true colors. Weirdly it seems at this point I have 3 pairs! No issues yet and it's been around 5 months, but I will of course keep an eye on it.

So I just picked up a 125 off Facebook. I am a completely impulsive and impatient person, but I want to do this one right. First things first, I need to build a stand with very basic skills at carpentry. I've got 16 - 96" 2x6 pressure treated lumber, and just need to get some plywood. I'm thinking something nicer in plywood since it will be in my living room. I've got most the occupants thought out 6x apistogramma nijsseni "panda" 6-8 x super red/long fin albino bristlenose, person in my club has ancistrus "Rio Ucayali" might use these just to keep it more biotopie. 10 gold laser corydora 50-75 cardinal tetras I want to do a blackwater scape with some amazon swords and maybe some anubias, they are really grown onto the wood I have. I also want to use a lot of terrestrial plants out of the top. How do I keep the plants secured out the top. I already have burle marx philodendrom, monstera, pothos, and wandering... do I need to just make sure wood sticks out of tank? I live in the Seattle area and out of tap I'd around 6.5 most of the time. I'm thinking of doing blackwater with just a crap-ton of crushed coral in the filter. I will be using a fx6 and maybe a fx4. Mostly because I have both. How do you determine how much botanical to add. And if you start without fish can you just load the tank up? This is my first journal and value any input. I want to encourage colony type breeding while also doing it only for the joy of it.

Didn't mind the all in one but ended up taking it out and using a hob. Got mine free and has been moved around a few times and is still holding up. The glass is cool but loses it's appeal after a while. Since vetting it I've learned I prefer longer tanks over cube styles.

Just received 12 going to give them a try All came alive and well packed. Was told it would be delayed by a day, but still arrived by 10am, less then 24hrs later. Will share my experience with them.

I really enjoy my undergravel filters. I have them in my 75 and 60. Mine are attached to canister filters, but that is a recent upgrade. On their own I never had any problems with filtration. My cycle with fritzyme took only a week. My plants don't seem to have any negative effect. A lot of people will saying there is no problem growing plants except for sword types. I am here to tell you that I have a 2' sword in my 75 and it is have 0 problems. I only added the canisters because I like heavily stocked tanks.

Mine always take 36-48 hours. Any sooner and I get what you got. Same problem with temp but it works out in the end so I don't worry about it. Around the 24 hour mark I add some fritz complete and haven't had any issues.

Hi first post here. I just bought a used 20 gal high. I tested it for leaks but had none. When I got in the tank to clean it up I noticed that the seams were pretty shot looking. I decided to just go ahead and reseal it. I'm currently scrapping the seal from the inside and come across an issue. Everything I've read or seen says to scrape then remove any residue. I'm using 99% isopropyl alcohol or vinegar. I can't seem to remove all the residue from glass visually. When I touch the spot it feels clean. So the question is can I go ahead and reseal it or do I need to get it off. Picture is off the worst of it.
