Very good and agreeable tips.

Great stuff :) Although you are relatively young still, you need to get started on and publish memoires, Aquaholic! :) Stories like these would be perfect to break up the chapters of your unfathomably immense (to me) knowledge, experience, and resourcefulness in all aspects of fish keeping.

Wonderful indeed and thoroughly appreciated.

Humankind is so proud of its accomplishments but, a-ah, how suddenly attractive become a mask and a snorkel and natural bodies of clear water, like a flooded stone quar...

The only acrylic tanks I've ever seen broken were a result of an accident, like dropping when moving. Glass tanks I have seen many that broke just standing and in operation (usually on an inadequately leveled base/stand).

We routinely use PP to treat incoming fish before QT or even bypassing QT. Not on cories (we don't deal with them) but many times on common pleco from 6" to ~2ft. We use the commonly suggested concentrations for short term baths in the 2 to 10 ppm, sometimes up to 25-50 ppm, depending on the fi...

The bulb was 40W. The pump was nominally 3000 GPH, probably more like 2500 GPH. There were a ton of plants ...
