LOL! But finding new interests every few years is key to holding my overall fascination with tanks. If I don't, the number of tanks starts shrinking as I...
Hey Alex It is confirmed that they are cyclops ... I have a 10 gallon tankful of them now, what am I supposed to do with them? They are now in a tank with...
LOL if you dont have fish in that tank, then just think of it as a water storage for when then power goes out! i have 7 tanks right now from 10 - 85...
For me - Water reservoirs do not count in the tank tally, as they have only water, pumps, heater, tubing, etc - obviously not a tank, right? Veggie filters do...
Ok, if my emergent java moss was going to successfully convert to submerged, would it have done so by now. As far as I can see, it is completely brown and...
