    Shipping Supplies ~ Questions from a Packaging Guru

    Though many of your answers are good... others are just ??? I don't want to know that you get your supplies for free. That adds nothing to the conversation I am trying to have here. Thanks for your willingness to share, but I am looking to have a dialogue not a one or two word answer. The...

    Sponge Filters - EDUCATE me

    Hmmmm, I bought some small plecos one got in the filter and munched... I know many breeders use sponge filters when small fish are present. So if you could educate me on how they work and suggest some brands, that would be great. FYI this would be going in a 10 Gallon tank. Thanks a ton...

    Nitrate

    I know it is optimal to have as little as possible of nitrates in the tank water. However, I was curious what is acceptable, and at what level does it cause harm. Also what harm does it cause to the fish.

    Water Changes with Fry?

    Here is an idea that has always worked for me, and it just to simple. :lol: If you are really trying to breed, you will notice a couple pair up. Take them out of the main tank and let them go in a seperate tank for awhile. Usually they won't breed right away, but should go long enough to get...

    Turn the Light off at Night for a Fiddler?

    Now that we are on the topic, with my new tank I purchased a coralife digital timer to go with the coralife light setup. Pure lazyness... at its best! This thing is so cool as well! Not only can you program when lights come on and off, you can have it trip to your moonlights, and even have...

Back to the point, I asked for some ehiem filter media they handed me a 2L box. I said can I get two of these so they grab me another and I begin to keep looking about the...

    Silicon - Will this stuff be safe?

    So I used that silicone last night. At first I was skeptical on how it would work, but OMG amazing that piece of driftwood will not budge, even when I yank on it. I am so exciting to get everything running. Everything is falling into place... :twisted:

    Silicon - Will this stuff be safe?

    Driftwood Question - Mildew

    Na if u can boil it, it should be done relatively soon I would think. It just that I can't get my bathtub water to a boil... plus the piece of wood is huge... just look at the picture almost as long as the bathtub!

    Driftwood Question - Mildew

    Yeah that sucker is pretty big good thing is it doesnt have a ton of depth so it fits quite well. Been soaking it for close to 2 weeks now almost getting to the point of no brown water ;) However, I did find out it floats so I'm going to home depot for some silcon to keep it on the bottom.
