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 […]
Will there be any weight put on it?
I have 1/4″ on my 48″ tank but I do have a middle support so it’s two 18″ by 24″ panels. Why don’t you have a middle support? Does your front and/or back glass bow out? I’ve seen them bow even on 48″ glass tanks […]
How thick would the plexi glass have to be to fit a 150 gallon tank (6′ long) with no supports in the middle?
Plexiglass… where you can make custom cut-outs for your filters, etc. This will also save you on water… in areas where water conservation is a concern… since any evaporation would collect on the plexiglass and drip back into the tank.

Don’t know about 75 gallon. On my 20 gallon I have a Walmart setup. Tank, hood and stand. It’d be a bit hard for a fish to get around. Possible but would require higher intelligence.

How about a brick? Appealing wrapped in a wood grain type of contact paper to make it a bit more appealing to the eye? I had to do this once for Oscars I was keeping as they would bang the top of their glass cover for treats or food. Bill
I took 1/4 inch welded wire, coated with vinyl, cut to fit the top perfectly snug tight, then I “sewed” using fishing monofilament line, nylon screen onto that. The welded wire gives it strength and fits perfectly. It does rust some, but just a tiny bit on the edges. […]
any ideas on an escape proof hood for my 75 gallon tank that is home to one very curious bichir. I want something attractive ,the duct tape method isn’t working for me. thank you.
