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 […]
So, do you shim up the tank stand by adding pieces of wood under the legs,or what? Thanks, Jim In a message dated 1/7/2009 10:13:47 A.M. Central Standard Time, uneekfish@gmail.com writes:

Well, I am new here and to fish keeping, but not knew to making mistakes!
I would drain tank water into 5 gallon buckets and rehome the fish there. HOB fiter or whatever you have, make it work in the bucket.
Level the stand so the tank is level. NEVER try and shim up the tank […]
i don think any of my tanks are perfectly level. they all seem to lean just a hair to the front. Never been an issue. looking from the front you dont notice it.

In my excitement and enthusiasm when I got that 29-gallon tank for Christmas I forgot one very, very important thing. Plumbing and leveling the tank! I can’t believe an old hand like me messed up this bad, even a “rookie” would not make this mistake but there it is, as stupid as it […]
Thanks Lenny, I will definitely let you know how long he makes it. As far as I can tell he’s healthy, just mad about his tank size, he thumps the other fish with his tail and either eats them or leaves them to die if he doesn’t like them, bad fishy […]
Dewdude/Tim,
I think you mis-read Ray’s reply. He was replying to another post in your thread that did not have relevance to your original post. He was not replying to your initial post.
I’m sorry I can’t help you since I’ve never kept them and haven’t even read much about the various color schemes being […]
Orandas, Ryukins or any other round-bodied goldfish (fancy goldfish) will be OK with two of them in a 55G as long as there is weekly tank maintenance done.
Long-bodied goldfish like Comets, Commons, Shubunkins, Wakins, Jikins (and any other newer long-bodied varieties that may have popped up from cross-breeding) need REALLY BIG TANKS or preferably should […]
Mike,
LOL@”something about alcohol I am told.” You sound like you’d enjoy Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street down here in N’Awlins. Come on down next month! We could always show you the videos of everything you did afterwards… and everything we did to you while you were under the influence of Hurricanes! […]
Looks like she’s cleaning the tanks from what she stated, but not sure how often.. My husband had to put his foot down and tell me no more fish, so I can understand where you’re coming from (only in reversed roles). Just explain that you’re tired of doing all the work to […]
