And I am so appreciative of all the ways in which Cory builds community. After this past year of [a series of unfortunate events not necessary to list] his videos and this forum truly have been a balm for the spirit. We need to redefine our online spaces to reflect our shared humanity and this is very good start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also could the drain water flow into it and possibly introduce non native species from your fish room? They could get a couple hundred watts out of it. But not as much as you'd think. I've looked into this quite a bit, there are quite a few people on youtube doing these types of things. In my estimate they would need 4x the flow to get something worth while, and have to maintain that flow year round not just during a rain storm. I am curious about the drain water though. To me it sounds like they have pretty tight legal restrictions on non-natives. I imagine they will have strainers on all the overflows and hopefully something between the outlet and the outside to prevent a finding dory style escape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget to flush your water heater once a year, well water can pick up along of things. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maggie 1,079 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Wow, Cory, that wood stain is really nice. I can picture it when they see you approaching the store "uh oh, here comes Cory, he's the guy with 5000 fish tanks - watch him buy every single [name item] we have in stock...no, seriously...."

Flytrap 0 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hello Cory and all on board. Congratulations on the new fish room and I can’t Thank you enough for all of your your information. I am so new to forums etc. I am not new to the hobby starting in 1971 at the age of 10. I inherited many empty tanks from my Dad when my folks split up and so the hobby began. It was a wonderful thing as our lunch time visits still often ended at the fish store to pick the next tank member. All of my tanks were freshwater planted and I’ve worked with everything from a ten gallon to a 285 gallon using everything from under gravel filters to canisters and sumps. To tie this into your post Cory, I am now in a beautiful new home for retirement and the tank I’m having built fits into a very tight space like a puzzle piece. I plan on using all internal filters and recently saw your video on under gravel filters and then the guppy and platy tank with the under gravel filters. Can you advise which model you used, I assume it was a Lee’s premium but couldn’t tell for sure. I can’t find the type I used many years ago but the plants and fish thrived. I never had any problems. Thanks again for all of your advice I will begin to order once I have my ideas put into place,etc ,Best to you all and thanks to all ps I will be using powerheads for the uptake tubes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
