Her video shows schooling but they are not rainbow fish like these:

Hi, the most colorful freshwater fish might be the Australian and Asian Rainbow fish. I haven't kept those. If I did I would want genuine schooling fish, where they all swim in unison as a group (schooling) Some are just shoaling which do stick together but don't try to move identically...

Brilliant! That way anybody on either of the four sides would have a view. Somebody, someday, will make aquariums with one way viewing glass so the fish will not be spooked.

Youtube Make Floating Fish Food Sink in 5 Seconds The nozzle on the end needs to be large diameter enough to pass the food. Usually you have to snip off the end of the tapered nozzle with scissors or knife to make it larger. Using once daily the syringes will wear out in about 3 weeks (they...

1 There are acrylic tanks with built in inlet and outlet holes that hold the filter behind the tank and hidden by darkened acrylic glass on the back wall of the tank. These are designed to be salt water reef tanks. But of course can be set up as freshwater tanks. But these tank systems are...

(Velcro sells round dots a little smaller in diameter than a dime). You could put a velcro dot on back of the little LCD thermometer and affix it directly to the tank or stand. But if that doesn't seem good or attractive, you can make the display stand up to see it across the room by dot...

The matten filter is just a thick rectangle of foam cut to be very slighty wider than the tank is wide. So that when you push it down into the tank it stays put right there. To clean, just pull it out and rinse in a bucket of water. Plain water would remove the good bacteria, so the cleaning...

this guy has a matten filter using a HOB for power on a frontosa tank...

I mentioned I use internal sponge filters (only that type of filter) 135 gallon frontosa tank. A powerhead drives it instead of air. Here is a guy at the catfish show talking up his sponge filter ideas. at 8:36 the text annotation says he cleans and maintains his matten filters every few years...

I'm not sure where but the guy who runs oscarfish.com definately says Marineland biowheel and Aqua Clear are the two HOBs that everyone likes. He said he won't use anything else. He said lately the Marineland filters are now made in China and are noisy which he thinks means lesser quality (it...

Her Mbuna type tank on Youtube. I was interested when I saw this video on youtube... yeah it looks good. But all those cave rocks were glued together (she said) before putting them all in the tank. So, I guess the rocks can't fall or get rearranged. And I'm thinking it is possible to lift the...

I suppose the tank always looks that good, and it wasn't just cleaned up for the photo shoot (just kidding)....

Yeah I was satisfied with my old checkvalves which allowed all 4 stones to work (all stones were identical make and model, 2 were old and 2 were almost new). The SMC valves have heavy springs and would not bubble the two old stones. Which I think is a very big plus, tells me to replace (or...

OK, I received and am using the check valves in my link above from US Plastics: SMC 695 Series Mini Check Valves They are completely different than the ones in my LFS and on Amazon, and pretty cheap besides. I had 4 airstones running using typical check valves. Switched to the SMC 695 and...

And thanks again to the repliers who have put me straight about the real way to prevent hundreds of gallons of water doing thousands of dollars of damage to the living room carpet, floors, and walls of our home residence!

My filters have been pretty leakproof from the beginning since years ago, so late than never, now trying to get the air pumps reasonably leak proof As others in this thread have guided me, I'm going to be using gravity to prevent reverse siphons in the first place. Until the last 3 days, I...

Amazon sells one of those super magnet glass tank algae cleaners , i.e. Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Cleaner, KEDSUM Fish Tank Glass Cleaner, Algae Scraper Floating Clean Brush with Handle Design...

Yeah, with two outputs on the pump, don't block one completely, or you will damage the pump. Amazon gang valves, probably $3 or so.

Thanks, coralbandit. I'm going to do that based on your advice. The only negative is that the tank is prominently displayed in living room and I would have to attach something to the wall up above the tank to hold up the airlines and it would not look so good there. So now I have to figure out...

ok, thanks, anybody else have thoughts?

Tank is 135 gallon (I would hate it all to empty on the floor where the pumps are) :nono: Four airstones (for oxygenation, thus 4 air lines). Check valves are cheap (about $1.25 each), so is it good idea to put two in each line in series? That way if one fails then the other might prevent any...

Although I had to laugh first time I saw it :lol: :fish2:
