Jeff Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Santa is bringing me the Ziss Brine Shrimp Hatchery, with all the fixins: Never Clog Airstone, USB Nano Air Pump, Fritz Freshwater Salt, and ACO Black Airline Tubing. What will Santa be bringing you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.K.Luterman Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I want a ton of anubias nana petite to rescape my pea puffer's tank with. Also I would like to get some neocaridina for my 29 gal. Thinking Fire Reds maybe, though I'm going to wait until after the holidays to order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFishKeeper Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I've been looking at the Ziss Brine Shrimp Hatchery with the air system. PLANTS. Some more foods, ferts, and meds. That is if I can get around to finishing a Sleigh for Santa. I have a contract for 1 due on the 15th Edited December 4, 2020 by FlyingFishKeeper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ange Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 My Christmas list is Rotala rotundifolia "Orange Juice" and Rotala macrandra "Sunset". I wish the Co-Op carried them but I understand that it doesn't really fit into their business model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonske Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Power strips is all I want for Christmas. 12x or more. That cable mess behind my tanks needs to be reduced into order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I wish there was some sort of "tank-scaping for dummies" class to take or step by step videos to watch, and I'd give that to myself for Christmas. My 45 came out all wrong after several plants died, some did not die but I thought they did, and others took over. The java moss is randomly scattered all over now. I am fussing too much over planning the 20L (Coop plant order being sent today - all using the easy planters, tank set up starts tomorrow!) knowing the tanks I see on here are set up so nicely. People attach plants to things, make rolling landscapes and hills, interweave wood with plants and rocks, and I have no idea how to do that. I see intricate setups in teeny 5 gallon tanks and wonder how in the world you all make it look so beautiful! I'm pretty good with regular houseplants, and when I was married I had a really successful vegetable garden and also grew beautiful blue spruces and apple trees from tiny saplings. I know skills improve with practice, but I will never be as good as 99% of you on here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_RF Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It is mostly a hard candy Christmas with my family at the moment, but if I was to wish myself something it would be the brine shrimp hatchery from the Coop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have on my wish list on the co-op website the brine shrimp hatcher, eggs, and the Fluval nano light. I shared the list with my wife earlier this week, I will have to see if I get anything off of it. I also put on my Christmas list Rosario Lacorte's book, and gift cards to be able tot buy the racks for expanding/ remodeling my fishroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try MD fish tanks on youtube. He does step by step builds. I ignore almost all the product recommendations, as he is in the UK, but his eye for placement is incredible, and you can learn a lot by watching it come together. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3uQXzXSPspf2LoGdtYGiHw For me, I wish for a better water change system--I've tried the python and hated it so far. Need to at least get the j hook. It only fits on my small bathroom sink faucet, so that is complicating matters. For now buckets and bailing seem simpler.

DaveSamsell Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Additional aquarium lighting fixtures for a couple of the tanks. Already had them installed recently, lol, couldn't wait. Will have to pick something else then, like maybe another aquarium. 😎 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaAmanda Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 My birthday is ahead of Christmas and hubby was having a hard time finding another wish of mine... so with his blessing to replace that wish with this one, I just ordered this list and said "happy birthday to me!": EEEEP! Fingers crossed they arrive in good shape... there's snow on the ground. I'm so excited about that lotus.... I read that they flower often 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had an issue with the python fitting our new faucet. I did not know python makes a bunch of adapters for many sized and styles of faucets. Check the python website. Amazon carries most of the adaptors. This was my problem with the python. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a "fancy, modern" completely impractical apartment with "stylish" fixtures. Sad to say, but our last new faucet had to have ability to fit the python. Took out most fancy faucets. Luckily it was for a spare bathroom. First world fish keeper problems. I still had to buy an adaptor for the smaller faucet end.

I know skills improve with practice, but I will never be as good as 99% of you on here. Check out the Green Aqua YouTube channel! They get into some pretty advanced stuff but if you scroll through their list of videos they have some that cover basics of how to scape a tank. This playlist has some good info: I would skip the filter one for now (not sure why it is first) but the ones on the golden ratio and so on are good if you are getting started with moving from planted tanks to aquascaping. They have some really cool stuff in some of their other playlists, too! Goerge Farmer also has some great, slightly more beginner-friendly videos.

Now I can watch Cory and and others on iTunes and actually see their faces! Not the blurry blobs I’m used to watching. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
