Hmmm that gives me the idea to try this, which appears to be more of a specialty made product that is similar https://www.homehardware.ca/en/378l-floor-leveler/p/1627760

Unfortunately this was the absolute best piece of wood I could find. The humidity here warps everything. Im considering at this point maybe using an epoxy liquid compound to put a small layer on top of the plywood to create a perfectly even surface, before this I will likely try flattening the...

I'm more or less at my wits end with this stand situation. I bought a fluval flex 15g rimless tank and needed a suitable stand. I set out to build one and I've run into an issue, the plywood for the top(which is 3/4 inch thick) has a bit of a bow in the center. I really don't have the equipment...

I checked it with my level and I can see there is a slight dip towards the middle in parts. Would i be better using styrofoam or plywood?

So I purchased a fluval flex 15g and I have an existing piece of furniture that is sturdy enough and fits the tank perfectly, like it was made for it. My only concern is the surface of this stand. I know that rimless tanks use foam underneath to prevent high points in the wood from causing...

Looking for interesting tankmates for my armored bichirs(pair) that are about 5-6" long right now in my 75g planted tank. They are currently in with a bristlenose pleco and a dwarf pike. I have 2 leopard ctenopoma in a growout tank that will be moving in with the bichirs soon enough. The...

You seem to be right, awesome! Thanks Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk

I've purchased some snails out of curiosity but I cannot find any information regarding them. They are listed as "INDIAN ZEBRA SNAILS - BELLAMYA BENGALENSIS". Searches turn up a few scientific papers but that is all. They seem to eat algae and don't seem to bother plants so I don't mind having...

It seems as though you cannot buy the 30" beamswork with 110x6500k leds anymore, all I can find now is the 24-30" version with 80leds. I need a solid top medium-top end of medium light for my 20g long for under 150$ Canadian. The only other options in my budget seems to be the satellite +(great...

The tank is currently still together, the only silicone removed is the silicone that lines the walls of the aquarium that you can touch. The structural seam is where the alcohol seeped through. The dirt/hardwater buildup is in the corner area underneath the bottom glass(it can be scraped off if...

I bought a used 35g with the intent to reseal it, the tank's silicone is stripped down now but as I was cleaning the glass with alcoho(and I used a little bit too much) I noticed a little bit seem through the bottom. Right around this area there does appear to be some hard water stains that I...

I build a 30" stand for my 36g bowfront, I sold it and I decided to pick up a 36x12x18 30g tank. I dont want to build another stand. Can I just put a 36" top and have a 3" overhang on either side? Something similar to whats pictured but not as drastic. Sent from my LG-D803 using Aquarium Advice...

The weld isnt snapped. When the stand was made they welded this piece up a little too high so its not flush like the other 3 corners Sent from my LG-D803 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I should be able to recess the bolts so styrofoam isnt needed since styrofoam can make the tank lean to one side Sent from my LG-D803 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hmmm that seems like it may work Sent from my LG-D803 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Bought a metal stand used and came to find one section of steel isnt flush so it on this corner and a large section of the side there is no contact with the bottom of the tank. Can this be fixed any way or should I just cut my losses. Sent from my LG-D803 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I ordered some killifish eggs the other day and I am concerned because I hadn't really thought much of the temperature problem. What range can killifish eggs tolerate? Now that its starting to snow in Canada, I'm worried they might end up frozen. They are coming from Italy to Newfoundland which...

Would a rena xp2 be enough for a dirted 55g tank? Thanks Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app.

I will just get a bigger one, I dont have 200$ to drop on 2 of them. Since they cost about 100$ each in canada Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app.

Would a sunsun 302 be enough for a 55g tank or should I go for the larger 303?

I think I will just do 2 horizontal boards in lieu for the 1 slanted board. That plus the plywood skinning should keep it from having any play right? Just predrill with a countersink bit. There wont be any shelving, I want to maximize sump space. As this is for saltwater Sent from my LG G2...

I'm building a stand for my 36g bowfront and I want to build it like I saw on another forum. My only problem is that my woodworking skills are limited(I've built all my stands so far, just standard rectangle shape though). With the design used, horizontal support(for the frame) is added by...
