If it gets bad enough, some cities dump the snow in rivers. They try to avoid it though.

We had something similar in 2011. Worse even. With that one, there were widespread power outages. I considered myself fortunate that I only lost power for 24 hours. There were people who went a week without. I didn't have fish then. But I was taking care of my brother's pet turtle. The...

The one thing I was dreading was losing power. That often happens in snow like this. But I was prepared for it fish wise. My air pumps have battery backups. And I have portable chargers that I charged up. Those can be used to charge my air pumps. My tanks have sponge filters. So in the...

I disassembled on and all they did was cut one of those little plastic bars on the inner brace of the sponge filter. Then the stuck airline through that and then you take the little cap off and plug it into the airstone. Put everything back together and the sponge goes right over the airline...

I like to rig a sponge filter with an airstone.

What were the "myths"?

I've ordered from them. They did well and the customer service was good.

A pet is such a big responsibility. I wouldn't give anyone an animal for a pet unless I knew they were able to provide a good home for it and 100% willing.

I have just started getting into this. I got a snake plant and a zz plant. And I got a pothos cutting that I'm keeping in old fish tank water. I change it out every week I think it's been 2 and a half weeks. No roots yet.

I use an HOB and a sponge filter. The only thing I clean every week is the sponge cover I have on the HOB intake. That thing gets pretty filthy. Which means the rest of the filtration has to do less work.

Snails. If you see a whole bunch of pest snails, that probably means you should cut back on feeding. It could mean an algae problem but IMO it usually means overfeeding. That's one of the reasons I like to have snails. To let me know if I'm feeding too much.

I use AI for creative writing. Fan fic basically. Nothing I want to share with anyone. Right now, it needs a lot of guidance to come up with something anyone would want to read. But I could see it getting past that point.

Knowledge and wisdom are hard earned. You have to spend time studying. And you need other people to guide you. You can get a lot of knowledge from the internet but you should read actual books for that knowledge to have depth. I'm sure we've all looked at fishkeeping advice given online and...

Been cycling a sponge filter in another tank. It clears the ammonia from 2 ppm to 0 in 24 hours. But it's not clearing the nitrites yet. Once that happens, I'll probably just get regular cherry shrimp. I was going to get the bloody mary version. But I'll be just as happy with regular...

There is no reason big box stores couldn't have this kind of display too.
