    First Shrimp Setup

    Looks nice. I toss the idea around often about doing something like that some time. The only shrimp I ever had was in one of those Ecospheres someone gave me as a gift one time. If I remember correctly one lived to be near ten years old!

    Power Out For 2 Days

    Mine was out almost a day. I was debating dragging the generator out and running cords for about 8 hours but looking at the outage map I began thinking these guys have a lot to do! I've never seen so many outages and I think the last big ice storm I recall was probably before you could even get...

    Curious too.

    Fishkeeping mistakes I made

    I think I'm guilty of throwing an H in there myself. I think maybe not looking at the spelling close enough does it coupled with the fact that there seems to be more words that begin with ch.

    I'm in deep now...

    Or a couple hundred neons!

    Change of filter

    It should settle out in time. Either it will sink to the bottom or float on top and you can skim it off.

    Need quick disconnect valve for Magnum 350

    Have one running nearly 45 years now. Hope I didn't curse myself. I don't have the valves on it but you can find plastic barbed ball valves online that will fit the supply and return hoses.

    20g Community Aquarium

    Red Eyes I have had seemed to be peaceful fish. Is that your concern?

    Fish tank Background Ideas

    Wonder if anyone is old enough to remember this paint you could apply and it would dry into all sorts of crystal like forms and shape.

    Aquarium heaters pulling more electric than advertised

    Well first, if it is drawing more power it will shut off sooner. If it takes X number of BTU's/HR to maintain a certain temperature the water doesn't care how you are going about it. One has to wonder how accurate those meters are as well. Each of those numbers is about 10%. Not saying the...

    How do you do a water change?

    Siphon out 3 gallons every day. With a 55 gallon tank holding maybe 45 gallons of water that's near 50% a week.

    Adding fish dilemma ?

    No worry Byron. Serpaes are the last fish I'd ever buy again at least to have in anything but a tank just for them.

    Adding fish dilemma ?

    Thanks. That lone Serpae is the last survivor and unless it's doing something sinister at night it's well behaved. I see zero evidence of nipped fish etc. Good to know I can add. The Glolights are a fav by far. I don't know of another fish that can do a juke move like them at feeding time!

    Adding fish dilemma ?

    That would be good news. They do seem pretty laid back but who knows.
