Wen surgery, which is only needed in rare situations, while it can be done by the hobbyist, is best left to a veterinarian or at least a hobbyist with experience. You wouldn’t have to worry about the fish wiggling since it would be under anesthesia (usually clove oil solution for the hobbyist). Do […]
The method that you level would depend on the stand. If it has legs and you do not need much raise I would think you could place a piece of wood directly under the leg, or you could get something at the hardware store that you could raise and lower via a nut and […]
The best thing to use for shims would be pieces of hardwood shaped in wedges. Some roofing shingles could also be used if the gap needing to be filled was large enough. If you go to a hardware or big box home improvement store, they actually sell packages of shims in the windows […]
