    Bought a new fish

    Should do this on the tablet so I could post pictures. Anyway. Picked up an Orange spot Rabbit fish to help with algae. I think it took a liking to my PJ Cardinals tail section thinking it's another Orange spot due to color and pattern orientation. The Cardinal is moving about more trying to...

    Rigid plumbing on return

    Has anyone noticed any reverberation from the pump to the hard pipe to the stand? I'm close to putting my DIY sump under tank and considering doing this. My pump is quiet, Rio 1700 I think, maybe 2500. Anyway it's quiet. But I do feel vibration in the hoses and afraid I'll get a hum if I use pvc...

    For you dosers

    This thing looks awesome for dosing with all the detailed measurements on it. I don't dose so I don't know if it's volume is big enough or not. Comes with hose fittings too.

    New thread for pictures just to get more notice than the existing one

    I'm a computer retard. No insult intended for those that have family members or friends with some disability, it's really an insult to me being fully capable, of sound mind and NOT knowing how to do things. Anyway. Is there a cost to have to be able to store pictures on a site such as this one...
