The problem with PVC sheets is 1) structural integrity (needs reinforcement or exoskeleton) and 2) adhering the window to the PVC. Silicone will not adhere to PVC/Polypropylene sheet. Stainless hardware is needed to make the silicone a gasket vs seal. That runs a very high risk of cracking the...

OP has had 6 years to sort it out. Hopefully it’s mature now lol

Looks clean. Well done!

Couldn’t agree more. Thanks for putting numbers and a better description to it.

Love peninsula tanks! This should be good

If it floats, it is not a hardwood so it will likely not release tannins. Malaysian driftwood is a great way to add tannins. If you like the look of your current wood and want the stained look, add a bunch of cut pieces and put them in a mesh bag inside the sump, filter or out of view. Most LFS...

Congrats on the promotion! You’ve done stellar with both and deserve a break anyway. Thanks for what you’ve done with it to this point, Rob!

Sorry if the above puts words in your mouth, Miguel. Feel free to delete or I can if you like.

When a vendor (in their own section) posts four figure range, that at a minimum, is an indicator as to if someone is going to continue or not. Also it sucks getting a bunch of people commenting on the price of something who don’t understand a market, a rare commodity and typically do not have...

Yes a ray barb. 18” male ray got tagged by a 22” female and it got stuck in him. I still have the barb that got him (had to remove it). Was a few years ago

This went went all the way through his body. That’s a 1” opening .

Congrats on the first litter! They look great

Alita all day long.. they move a ton of air and I have to put my hand on then to tell they are on. What size bed are you trying to fluidize?

I don’t like explaining what I do. It usually confuses people and won’t work for a simple design anyway. Do lots of homework and you’ll find what’s best for you. It’s best to just ensure you have 200 gallon access to the Ultima. If you are running it off the sump it defeats the purpose of an...

Same here. They can be run inline with a sump but why unless you have a way to backwash that is external to the tank. Few people can do this. There isn’t enough water volume in 99% of the sumps out there to backwash an Ultima properly.

Agreed, I do the same. Keep it simple and easy

If she has hip bones sticking up then get her eating as priority #1. If she has even a little fat then she will be fine for a few days. She doesn’t look skinny from the small amount I can see if her in the pic. Hard to tell without a back end and/or tail pic. Sometimes less is more with new...

Amazing setup! Well done!

You bet. The tail looks similar but is likely from jamming it in the substrate going up and down on the panel. Another symptom of a male likely all over her. Settle and faster are mutually exclusive unfortunately. Just give her time. She’ll settle in and I’m sure she’ll be a great ray for you.

HA! I finally beat you!!! [celebrates like a toddler]
