    California power outtage is going to kill my brand new fish

    https://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/usb-nano-air-pump Add a USB power pack and run it for weeks. Heat packs taped to the sides with a thermal blanket to cover.

    Post your full tank shot here.

    My two favorites. 110g, haven't taken a current photo in a while. 92g corner hasn't got a permanent place yet so it sits next to the fish rack.

    PVC Loop with multiple pumps?

    I see many people tossing away the smaller air pumps. I was wondering if the proper air supply could be a achieved by using smaller pumps combined instead of a larger more expensive pump. They power draw should be about the same, though using up more outlets. What do the season veterans say...

    110g LED Backlight

    I've been consolidating from a 60g and 65g down to a 110g. :brows: I wanted to share a recent video I made of a DIY LED backlight project I worked on. I got inspiration from AquaPros, but I wanted to use a solid piece of sturdy material on the back instead of construction paper. I'll make...

    New video of my planted fresh water tank

    Excellent video quality. On my mobile device the text was extremely difficult to read, however I'll watch it again on the PC and check the point names.

    Free rider along with plants!! Should I keep it?

    I've picked up some ramshorns in a similar way. I'm glad to have them. It's the pond snails you want to feed to your loaches!

    Oh look, another new guy

    It's relaxing when it all goes well. Watching them in normal conditions helps you spot things when they are abnormal. It's tempting to buy more and more tanks. I had to slow myself down and concentrate on two tanks, others are for hospital or breeding. I like to buy multiple tanks and sell...

    House Plants as Supplemental Water Filters

    Awesome! I'm not looking for miracles, ai just want to make my water quality better. My tap water adds about 5ppm nitrates and I believe API misreads the Chloramine as 1ppm Ammonia, let's hope so anyway. I will rig up a planter to keep on the back row where the platstic would attach to the...

    Neon Tetra Issues (NTD)

    So far there's no change. Perhaps a little thinner on the bubble. I've been treating two capfuls in the 20 gallon tank for 4 days so far. He's not eating that I can tell. His mouth is exposed so he could get something in, but he doesn't seem interested when food passes near him.

    Neon Tetra Issues (NTD)

    I'm pretty sure I've been fighting a loosing battle with these guys. Luckily I've gotten most of my money back, but I'm looking for experienced information on this one. I have a few neons with various symptoms. The oddest one is a bubble on the side of the mouth (pictured). The others just...

    My First Fry

    I've just lost one so far, on the first day. I would guess that might be typical for anyone that was a weaker fry. The rest are doing fine. I know they eat more often so I'm trying to keep them supplied with crushed flake food and mixing fry food occasionally, but they're a little too small...
