Yeah that would definitely work. I couldn't the right size. They only had that for 1.5" and 3/4". Who does that :P

No problemo!

:) since it's not your tap water, all I could say is wait just like you're doing

I would check your tap water. If there is any ammonia in your tap either from chloramines in the water or just ammonia, it is going into your tank when you do a water change. That's what switched me over to using Prime as my water conditioner. If there is no ammonia in your tap then it has to...

Indeed! Such a simple bit of pipe but I couldn't stand trying to keep my hose in the tank without it popping out or something.

Well it just worked successfully to do a pwc on each of my tanks. Even when the fish got near the opening they didn't show any signs of being pulled into the siphon. I definitely could add some mesh to make it 100% safe (good idea!). See the attachment for what is what is stuck into the end of...

Put this little doohickey together tonight to help with water changes. It is awesome. It's not originally my idea as I got it from a YouTube video but it rocks. Drain off back deck and then attach to faucet and bam. I love not worrying about the hose falling out of the tank. 2x 1"x12" PVC 1x...

Yeah this can be an expensive hobby I've learned haha

:P we're in the same boat it seems

Yeah I can see myself doing that haha. What do people usually use for a black background? Would black construction paper work? I rearranged my deco an hour ago. I'll take another picture tomorrow with more light. I moved some of the columns to the right and put the cave and the wood in the...

Yeah those are some good ideas. Thanks!

Haha alright that's good to know. I probably will at least add some more plants. I love plants. Also, I'm probably gonna have to return my gourami cause he's being too aggressive.
