Don't Let Your Pets Become Pests

Dumping anything out of an aquarium such as fish, animals, and plants can have devastating consequences for any natural waterbodies. When they’re dumped into the wild they can introduce diseases or become serious predators, killing off local fish colonies, and damaging reefs and vegetation that keep our underwater ecosystem alive and healthy.

    Otherwise I’d highly recommend on calling the manufacturer and seeing what they say.

    Post
    I’ve seen a few do it, but I never had a tank that either was too experience for a stand - or was an odd shape and therefore a common stand isn’t really an option.

    For strength, I’m sure one could use some type of CAD program or even go to a lumbar yard…

    I’d say acrylic for saltwater tanks since I’m not sure how well silicone will hold up over time, and glass also limits you to how big you can go with weight limits and glass thickness requirements.

    How do you all make sure that the glass you are going to drill, is well, drillable? I have looked at a few tanks and there isn’t any single way to see if they are tempered or not which is annoying.

    Any tricks or tips to see how I can tell without actually…

    Post
    I don’t think there is a fish that eats just waste. Snails and shrimp will shift through the waste to find the leftover food, but I don’t think a single thing eats just pure waste outside of bacteria.

    Depends on if I want centerpiece fish, coloration, or if I just want a bunch of flashy fish that zip around )schooling ones).

    This right here.

    Probably is hiding due to low numbers in the school, but as far as adding an air pump check to see if you have waves on the whole surface of the water if you view below. If not, add one in.

    Post
    Always I can’r stand the space between the trim and the glass if it’s not filled up high enough

    Yea plenty of times and 100% did with Gilbert recommended to make them eat the new food. Have even done this with live foods and trying to transfer them to commercial pellets/flakes.
