😍 Love me some Jeff Tweedy and Wilco.

Ended up going with 2 Octo 90 HOB classics for the skimmers. One on tank, another on the way. This is the tank so far. I have a small Niger Trigger too, but the phone freaked him out so he is hiding in the rocks.

Only decent one that will fit is the octo 1000 hob I will eventually get 2. Since I cannot plumb this tank without fighting water levels in the internal wet-to-dry, I will just get a couple reef octopuss hob's. Some of the inline ones are kind of crappy...I looked at other options. RIO has gone...

I succumbed, my trusty sidekick 'Uno' supervised the entire ordeal, while his dad poured 1500 lbs of seawater in the tank 🤣

Good insight my friend...

Well not really in comparison, see if you have several tanks you can always have one project tank to scratch the itch. When I consolidate to one tank it really exacerbated how bonkers I could be surrounding this...cause bottom line I have accepted this is a total 'me thing.' Well, with the...

Well, you see I have over 15 years sober so there's that lol. I am pretty sure I have been to both lol. I am hoping by roasting my neurotic bs impulse/ideas it will work.

Yeah it would be....I most likely not going through with this...I hope. This neurotic phenomenon started happening when I went from multiple tank syndrome down to 1 display tank. When, I had 3 or more tanks life was good and stable. I always had one sw and some cichlid tanks. Now, in this apt...

lmao, the brain man, it spazzes out from time to time. I am trying to process this impulse.....

Yeah there is only 1 skimmer in the world it seems that will fit this thing and its rated for 125g so would need one on both sides because it it an uniquarium...space is pretty tight. These things are supposedly designed for SW, but it is like they truly didn't design it for SW lol. Drilling it...

Thanks Esox, your a pal! I have always wanted a Fahaka or Mbu...you are correct, but know space for 500g or so....keeping a Dog Face, stars and stripes, or porcupine seemed more reasonable. I have more experience with SW, mainly reef keeping tbh. It is a trap for me though...don't want to act...

Thanks in advance

If the Oscar is eating adding the epsom to the tank will help...as well as soaking food in the solution; however, I would think feeding should be sparse to...fasting. I actually saved a few Africans with internal parasites with the pipette method I learned from @RD. before I actually new...

This is the sad truth

That is extremely lame, what a waste of time and effort. There are lots of POS out there these days

Thought I would post this for the late David Crosby...a recent loss in my music world

Mahler Bach Stravinsky Rachmaninoff Robert Fripp and King Crimson...& ELP Steve Howe....Yes Jerry Garcia with his many incarnations including GD Bill Monroe & Ralph Stanley JJ Cale Glenn Miller Tommy Dorsey Lemmy Geezer Butler Willie, Waylon, & Cash Townes Van Zandt Hot Tuna...gotta love Jorma...

Go Tangyanika...so many interesting species in that lake...btw those 3 x 4 foot tanks I was talking about were filled with Tropheus colonies...quite addictive, but I love them. Good luck!

Maybe, since your water is higher ph and hard....maybe some West Andes species. Are you sure you just don't want to keep the Stalsbergi or Saums? I mean one at 8-10 inches would be a nice centerpiece for a 4 foot tank. Fish 12 and over mae a 4 foot tank look much smaller than it is imho...

I have gained much knowledge from coming here and learning from these guys. There is a marked difference between these laughable website recommendations and solid fishkeeper experience. Some information might seem abrupt at times, but it is honest and well grounded information. Petsmart also...
