[AquaticLife] I really messed up this time!

This is the perfect time to use cedar shakes to level the tank. If need be, the shake could go under the legs all the way to the back, then you can either break them , cut them with an X-acto knife (or score them prior to breaking), or use a coping saw to cut […]

[AquaticLife] I really messed up this time!

My 55 gallon tank is lower on the right side than the left, I never thought to fix it because the problem is from my lumpy really old carpeting.

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 […]

See my previous post to Bill. A tank and the stand are designed to sit level. Considering the weight of a tank, if it’s leaning too much, it starts to create new pressure or stress points which could cause either the tank or the stand to fail. Water weighs 8 pounds per […]

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 really messed up this time!

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 […]

An experiment has started…

Turboncoupe76,
Well… you’re saying that as if you don’t like Bio-Spira. I hate to burst your bubble but Dr. Tim’s One And Only is the new Bio-Spira. Dr. Tim Hovanec invented Bio-Spira (among many other advances in the aquarium industry) and then when Marineland sold out to Tetra, Dr. Tim formed his own […]
