    OK Show me what you got down there!

    yeah if I was doing this one again. I'd eliminate the very first baffle all the way to the right. the one that separates the sock and skimmer. that one is totally unnecessary. the other thing is that the baffle directly left of the skimmer (bubble wall) is the one that sets the water height -...

    get new gaskets at home Depot. they got them in the plumbing section. the size that matches is actually for toilets or sinks or something. they are a couple bills each if I remember

    80g rimless build

    I would level the top of the stand where the display sits. and I would continue to check level as I filled up the tank so that it remains level as it settles

    Snails?

    so what are your favorite kinds of snails and why? let's see them! I've had only great experiences with Mexican turbos. others not so much, wonder why!?!?

    80g rimless build

    I'd probably build a traditional stand as plywood will give your stand added strength. also you can have switches and controls on the side (outside) mounted to wood. to deal with mosture in the stand you can just install a computer fan pointing towards the side or even the front. you can...

    LFS you shop at

    maybe should be moved to another thread but to address question, check out humblefish's threads on qt. think about the size and biological load of the fish. consider ammonia poisoning, bacterial bloom, asphyxiation from lowered levels of oxygen caused by medications and biological load etc. a...

    I bought two fish and 5 turbo snails. everything looks so great, I am completely satisfied knowing that these fish are 100% healthy and were ethically treated. right now I have everything in clean tanks (fish and snails separate) tanks and I'm running black mollies for 1 week to confirm no disease.

    my guess is that they are doing most of their business online. they do not have a "showroom." you walk in and it looks like a business office except they have a few products for sale on the wall. mostly stuff like brs chemicals, brightwell, hanna checkers and a few oddball items for the tank. no...
