    Modifying a tank with a chip HELP

    Thanks so much guys. yeah I was planning on resealing everything anyways so going to try just covering the spot and hopefully don't end up with a busted tank and 130g of water on my floor 😅. glass place by me apparently has a 3ft min so going to get 3/8in vs the .5in the tank is made with ($48...

    Modifying a tank with a chip HELP

    This will be a display tank but where the crack is would be at the back at the bottom and would be mostly covered with sand. So I could take a rectangle of glass the same thickness of the tank that's slightly larger that the crack, like enough to cover that back corner and just silicone it over...

    Modifying a tank with a chip HELP

    I haven't seen internal braces, I'll have to look those up, that will probably help me not feel like i have to constantly be on the watch for a tank blow out lol. the shell is probably closer to an inch and has a single crack that is stretching off to the right as well and on the inside where...

    Modifying a tank with a chip HELP

    I have a 135g i got used and was going to reseal all the silicone just to be safe. After scraping off all the blue paint on the outside and about half of the silicone inside I've realized there's a pretty sizeable chip in the inside, side glass towards the bottom. Not sure if it was sold to me...

    Any Ideas on Mysterious Tank Die-off?

    yeah some of them have started dying now and water is still good with no ammonia (maybe a tiny bit by the color but def less than .25) or nitrites and less than 5nitrates looks like im going to have to take this damn thing out and let it cure longer :/

    Any Ideas on Mysterious Tank Die-off?

    well it has a little asterisk after the II and is still the window and door one i know the kitchen/bathroom one is not safe. it doesnt say anything about mold/mildew inhibitors on the label because that is what i always make sure to watch out for but maybe i should have stuck to the longer...

    Any Ideas on Mysterious Tank Die-off?

    yeah im thinking it was the silicon as well. no i use the GE silicon II with no mold/mildew additives. i've never had issues with it in the past but it's possible it didn't cure all the way since i usually wait at least a week if not more before adding anything with it to a tank but this time...

    Any Ideas on Mysterious Tank Die-off?

    yeah i mean its possible the heater is several years old but didn't do anything to it in the process of changing around the tank so pretty sure its linked to either the wall or me stirring the sand all up. the water did get cloudy from the sand stirring as i didn't rinse it in the beginning...

    Any Ideas on Mysterious Tank Die-off?

    no kiddos and no i have a digital probe thermometer in there so would know if the temp was crazy. was up for about another 1.5-2hrs after putting it in last night and other than everyone pooping everywhere, everybody seemed to be doing just fine... is it possible no O2 is getting to the water in...

    Any Ideas on Mysterious Tank Die-off?

    i mean its possible but i got all the slate at the same time and the free-standing structure has been in there this whole time with no problems so would think if there was something on the slate it would have been on all of it? pretty sure i didn't have any lotion or anything on at the time i'm...

    Vegetarians

    well dubia roaches are apparently easy to breed (i havent kept them personally) and they cant climb glass, so here in the states they are the preferred species for breeding for reptile food, you have it readily available and dont have to worry about them climbing out of the cage and getting in...

    Vegetarians

    if you have pet stores near you, you could ask what all they can order in, even my petsmart here said that they could get in uromastyx. and also i really dont know generally how uros are but i took care of one that was part of the herpetology room at a natural science center around me and she...

    Finally getting custom terrarium!! now what monitor/exotic reptile should I get.

    CONGRATS, and there are some really rare instances where people have successful habitats with multiple species, but these are VERY carefully done giving much thought to the species used. but for most hobbyists and as a general rule most reptiles are happiest when kept in their own enclosures. as...

    OVERTURN THE PYTHON BAN!!!

    yeah it not only bans importation (which i would be ok with to protect the wild populations and since captive breeding of these is well established in the pet trade here) but also bans interstate travel, so will affect most businesses dealing with/breeding these guys and will also affect private...

    When is it really "too many pets"

    lol i agree its only too much when either their care or yours is compromised, i love reading yalls big zoo list, everyone already calls my house a zoo and i only have a dog, rabbit and 2 fish tanks (one being a 5ft 120g which apparently to non-pet people is HUGE lol) ....so far :) actually...

    Brazilian Rainbow Boa

    very pretty snake, love her/his markings, and that enclosure is pretty awesome. i figured with my tank i could still use the glass lid on one side to retain humidity and just put weights on it, but still figuring out what to do with the other side since petco doesnt exactly carry screen lids...
