I guess I haven't been able to word this correctly for google. What can you do with your plant clippings after maintenance, besides just throwing them away or putting them on a compost pile? Can you make herbivore wafers out of them? DIY aquarium fertilizer? Do they have any other practical use...

I'd rather all the fish have lots of space. You have all that in a 10 gal including the ram? Dang. I might increase the schools now that cardinals probably won't work out. Since its 200 gal I'm aiming for a max of 180 inches of fish. What are some safe bigger fish I could try since rainbows...

It's going to be a wooden tank, and this project is years in the future, sorry!

In the future I'll be building a 200 gal planted tank. I've been looking at fish and wanted to know if you guys have ever kept these together and what issues may arise. I've been researching temperature, pH, and hardness and so far some of the fish do not all fit together nicely. However many...

bump :whistle:

In the future I'll be building a tank that ends up either 160 or 200 gallons. I didn't plan on having more than 6 or 8 depending. I know they get large so I don't want to over stock. My primary concern now is making sure they don't bully each other. I heard moors can be a little aggressive or...

I am already aware that you should not put common/one tailed golds with fancy/two tailed golds as the commons are faster and more competitive for food. I would like to know, within the fancy breeds, which golds will live peacefully with little competition or bullying. I am most interested in...

What happened to yours? If you're willing to say...

Ok, I'll be a little wary of emeralds. I'll be a little cautious with the crabs I choose. Considering I wouldn't be able to put the anemone in a freshly matured tank, I could probably start off with a different clean up crew than when I would put in the anemones. What's the average life span of...

Alright, it's good to know that for the most part they won't be in immediate danger. What about Emerald Green crabs? I like their look and I know I'll end up getting one. And isn't there a species of hermits that can attack nems? Red foot or something?

In the future I'd like bubble tips and a pair of clowns. My concern for research now is what organisms will make a good clean up crew and WON'T get immediately eaten by the nems? Species of crabs, slugs, etc?:thanks:

I did not expect such positive responses. Cool, thanks guys! Other advice appreciated. Oh, what would be a safe clean up crew for just clowns and anemones?

I won't be setting up a tank for YEARS, but when I do, I'd love anemones and clowns. I know a tank needs to be very mature and also that anemones are not beginner inverts for saltwater. I just want to know if you could have two bubble tip anemones in a 40g, because I would like two different...

Bump? :confused:

Thanks guys!

When you say two pairs, do you mean two males and two females? Because that hits 4 plecos right away? What about just females?

I've watched his videos and I agree that they're very good. My only issue is that he doesn't factor in the cost of all his equipment and tools. He also has a ton of more skill than I do. Haha.

In a hypothetical 4'L 2'W 2'H tank (~120g), how many bristlenose pleco could I put in without territorial deputes? Are they're any other pleco I could substitute? This is assuming at least one large school of corys (~15) and other mid/upper level fish. Looking more at behavioral than stocking...

In the distant future I would like to build my own tank. With the current dimensions of 3' by 3' by 1.5', it would be about 100g. My research tells me that building a 1/2" thick glass tank with a plywood bottom would work out well, a little over $150, which is A LOT less than any new tank I've...

In the very distant future when I have a home, I will most likely succumb to getting discus. I realize they are hard to breed at all, and I would have to trigger spawning purposely. Still, in the event they do breed, I would like to be able to sell them (not really for any big profit) just to...

Do you have any pictures of that wire tank? I dont really care if a few cords have to trail on the floor to an outlet, I just want the machinery hidden.

Yes exactly. That's the plan. So I would want filtration hidden either within the tank itself or underneath in a stand.

I'd thought of putting it underneath in a stand, or even have filters concealed in the corners within the tank, but either probably wouldn't cut it? I definitely don't want to plumb to the basement, I want everything on the same floor.

Anyone?

I'm thinking about a tank years into the future, but I currently can't find a place that would sell me the type and size that I want since I'm going for something a little weird. Costume tanks are crazy expensive so I'd thought I'd build instead. So! If I wanted to build a tank 3x3 ft with...
