Acrylic is always repairable in my opinion. The glue used doesn't look like it was done properly in the first place. Pm me and get some better pictures. I can walk you through repairing.

What's everyone's thoughts and opinions on gas exchange and how sealed the top of a tank should be? I'm seeing a build floating around on Facebook of an approximate 3000 gallons. Looks to be in a basement. The Poster seems to be getting alot of questions regarding humidity issues. His...

big als also take alot of fry in well first off. big als is well known to take stock from local breeders. i use to sell to them on the regular. i store hop every few months and trust me.. big als isnt my frequent place to shop. you'll find that the only places within an hour of the GTA that...

i have to agree with the member who mentioned how many of us are trying to mimic a small part of nature in our homes. people who are after that type of satisfaction aren't going to be ok with buying deformed and or overly hybridized fish. so culling definitely effects that aspect. the other...

might be location dependent. but here in Ontario Canada. lack of culling is definitely a big factor. i use to be able to point out a deformed fish and the person working would generally remove it and in many cases ive been asked if i want to keep said fish for free. now i just get a shrug and...

might get some flack for it as some disagreed with me the first time i brought this up. but in my opinion sub par quality fish are a large reason why the hobby is dwindling in my eyes is the lack of culling. in my area i would say at least 50% of lfs stocking is some kind of hybrid and or...

dated. the fish and turtles dont seem to mind :)

oddly enough i went to my local fish store last weekend and they had northfin on sale for 50% off. ended up taking 5lbs of 6mm pellets home for 45$

just out of curiosity. why glass over acrylic? since covid acrylic is in abundance in most of the world and the pricing is now competitive with glass.

in the late 90s early 2000s monitors/tegus were everywhere. barely see them now. so your not the only one who has noticed.

one thing to keep in mind with the giant canisters is the pressure. they will have the pump loaded down like its pumping at 15ft head pressure at all times. when looking into it myself i found that the pump requirements were to great for my setup. so i went with a huge sump instead.

i was going to chime in because sumps are somewhat of a specialty of mine. but your video does not show up on mobiles and i cant load the video on my company computer. so i wouldnt know where to start with directing you in the right direction.

pool filter sand and sand blasting sand work great imo. recently i have been able to find sand blasting sand in white. so i mixed them together and got a nice brownish tank looking substrate.

the beauty of pothos submerged is the fish dont mess with it much if at all. from my research the pothos plant will release an deterrent when a fish bites it. apparently they hate the taste of that deterrent. my oscar is pushing 10". he took a bite out of it. spit it out and made a fuss for...

honestly im going to go out on a limb and say its been there and its fine. i see no scaring no excess bubbling. i dont see how a bubble that clean would form after the fact. the rest of the seam looks great and most people dont realize how strong an acrylic seam is compared to say glass and...

if your measurements in the picture are correct. and the tanks only 6ft long and 15" tall. your more then fine with the braces pictured.

it will do fine partly submerged but it takes a bit of time to rebound. especially if it came from a soil pot. in my experience it takes about 2 weeks for the roots to convert to submerged from soil. it can take months for the plant to accept being submerged itself. i have one that about 3...

i want that 6$ a pound. im game to buy like 20lbs

are these fish that you acquired when you setup the tank 2 years ago? if so then there is a good chance they are just passing of age. the fish you mentioned really only have a life span of 2-3 years. they will be grown out before sold leaving there time with you shorter.

where can i get that kind of pricing? im paying like $35 for the 1kg bag of hikari. i need your sources pretty please :)
