I feed them every other day, although some species like goldfish need to be fed throughout the day since they don’t have an actual stomach. Otherwise, other than a few edge species, I don’t think there is any reason to…
Just use your tap water that has been chlorine free or has had it removed with water conditioners. The bottles you see on the shelf as basically glorified drinking water you can find at any grocery store for far…
The rating for chillers is done by horsepower to describe the amount of water that it can chill and to what degree (ex; higher horsepower means a more powerful pump and ability to cool water). It’s a combo since the…
That’s very common as noted, and is really just due to the snail getting air trapped inside of the shell (that will come out naturally or you can turn the snail upside down to remove the air sometimes). Sent from my…
Vinegar, using good old elbow grease is probably the best. Sponges work, and if the dirt or grime is bad even trying to use hot water + a pocket knife to not scratch the glass but remove anything tough sticking on it…

Tanked TV Show
Last I checked the fish they would put in there would either later be taken out after the video was done, or they would pretty much all do poorly since their acclimation method and species selections were poor for the…
Still haven’t seen any in person at my local Petsmarts. No idea if it’s related to just no stocking, or if they are legit buying bought super fast due to their unique colorations. Anyone else have any luck yet? Sent…

Favorite cichlid and why
Out of all of the species of cichlids, and from the various regions of a different lakes, what is your favorite species (if you can only pick one) and why? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tanked TV Show
Has anyone watched (before it got cancelled) the tv show called Tanked? Ironically there are a few shops near me that have these tanks that were designed by then, but the insides look completely different or area…

DIY hood
Has anyone made or have steps on how to build a nice hood for any generic sized aquarium? The trouble I’m having is that people are either buying these plastic ones (or using glass lids), or they sell…
I think it really depends on the tank size and setup. A few tanks look amazing with just one species that is highlighted with the aquascape. Others have their aquascape to more or less reflect the habitat that you may…

Mixing substrates
I’ve mixed a few different types of sand together in order to make a less uniform look and to allow for burrowing species to have a better natural feel than some sand from shops have. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Metal for some of the smaller tanks with the bigger ones being a mixture of wood and metal, or just super thick wood + plywood that is painted with a sealer to make sure water runs off vs. soaks in. Sent from my iPhone…
That one is the generic one Avery shared (also weird on Tapatalk I have to download the image vs. see it, might be a bug or an issue with attachments vs. photos directly in the post). If you need specific per each…

Crayfish with plants
Has anyone had any luck with keeping any crayfish with any plants in their tank (real or even fake)? A local shop near me says that they will pretty much clip any plants and rearrange their tank like many cichlids do,…

In-line heaters
Has anyone here tried to use an in-line heater from their canister filter into their tank (or maybe their canister filter actually have this built in)? If so what are you reviews, I’d be worried that it would be getting…

Do you order parts when a piece goes bad, or get a new unit?
I just recently had one of my older filters due (I’m assuming something in the motor went bad) and was wondering if you all just buy a new filter (the motor is a part I can take apart and put back together in the filter…
Do you add any type of like Vaseline to it, have it sitting on some type of soft material that you change or reset every so often, or any other type of mixture? I find the bubbles from the tank to be consistent, however…
By chance would these results be shared anywhere online? Or would the study be shared once it has been finalized? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
