Welcome to the group.
“Chipped on the side”… does that mean one of the corners or in the middle of one of the panes of glass? Is this a glass tank where the corners are sealed with silicone on the inside of the tank or an acrylic tank or other? Is the damage up near […]
If you don’t do this pressure leaks could start from the tank twisting or having more pressure on the uneven areas or sides than it should. Please trust me on this point. You want a tank to be completely flat and level and plumb BEFORE you put any water or fish in it. […]
Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
I skipped over DebR’s question earlier this morning (what the heck am I doing getting up at 4 AM when I can sleep late?). Algae is a primitive plant, probably the most primitive we are likely to see up close and personal. It is often the first plant to grow in aquaria, even if we […]
From what I’ve read on algae build up (as long as it’s the good algae build up which is greenish/brown) any amount of it is good, as it does the same thing your live plants would do when they clean the water by removing fish waste and all that. My betta […]

I’ve been wondering why you have been waiting for the water people to reply.. The company or town department that supplies the water should have a web site, and on that web site should be the latest report available for public consumption that will tell you whether chloramines are used and a lot of other […]
I keep getting page load errors But the name sounds familiar. I have drifted away from the magic part and more into the balloon art stuff in the last few years. I have been doing balloon art for 30 years, but only seriously the last 3-4. By the way, I did a […]
ROTF!!! You two crack me up!!! Let’s all say “GREEN” together and then go pay for our cap and trade credits!!! LOL Winter here really slows down the mileage on all our cars. Yesterday we barely got around locally…that’s within 5 miles of […]
