Cleaning??? Nice
Riccia is one I can't seem to find here. I'm planning to make an order from you friday… if my husband lets me that is. If you have any riccia available when I order let me know how much you want for it I'll buy it.
Keep your water level down a couple inches so your blue mystery snails can lay above the water. You also want water level low otherwise the snail will crawl out of the tank to lay. The snail will lay a clutch in an area they feel it will stay moist so it can hatch. If you see a clutch you can remove it after a couple days once it gets hard and float on a sponge. As babies hatch they will crawl and fall into the tank. You may want to put the egg clutch in its own tank because they are tiny and fish will eat them.
8:00 i think another thing with sponger filters is never bother with those airstones just run the airline to the bottom without one as it causes un-necessary resistance to the system
Nice water change system Michael. Thanks for the description. I couldn't use drip emitters and had to take them all off because of the back pressure they created. Had too many leaks and lines busting off.
Oly snails 😂:. Nice artwork 😊👍. Maintenance sucks but is much needed..please more bloopers next time 😂🤣
👍👏
How can you tell when a sponge filter has low flow?
Guppies are some of the toughest fish on the planet. I would imagine your maintenance isn’t too crazy haha.
Sponge holes are “PPM”
Plecos are really dumb and can't back out of a tube that is too close to the size of their body due to their pectoral fins. I have lost a couple of them to lift tubes including a super red and a green dragon. I ended up just pulling the lift tube off of the filter in tanks with plecos that are too close to the size of the tube. Part of the idea in a lift tube is also to get the water that just passed through the filter to be dumped further away so you have a better chance of passing more of the tank's water through the sponge. I don't really find that to be a problem so I'm ok with dumping the lift tubes on some of the tanks.
👍
PPI = Pores per inch
You missed a water spot on the tank to the left.
If you set up the fish room in 1912… and you are 106… Wow – you were one talented newborn!
Besides us all having MTS, most of us seem to have OCD (Obnoxious Cleaning Desires). You have to really love this hobby to make it work. Going to check out the web site tonight, after I catch up on vids. Got the tub vid posted if you get bored and wish to offer guidance. Thanks Mike.
BLOOPERS!! Enjoyed watching this. I like doing maintenance… most of the time.
A day off lol. Seems like a bunch of work to me. How are you finding the new camera?
I love maintaining my tanks! Heres to having passion for the hobby!
Michael I'm meeting someone in NJ an hour away from me was wondering if I could get some. Mutts I'll hit u back tonight when I know where I'll be maybe we could meet on Saturday
How do you mineralize your ro water into your tanks from your auto change?
Hey and man TBH I just believe in gland have hype the only time they face a good team they lost and I gotta question do your lyretail guppy breed or do you gotta cross a endler and a guppy to get that fish I’m pretty confuse planing order some
Happy 4th! Hope you saved me some ribs! 😁
Riccia doesn't seem to like me it always melts away to nothing besides some I forgot in a bucket once go figure. My wife just found Cobalt's new-ish line of rainbow assortment of silicone air line. She now wants to replace all the line in the fish room. Unfortunately I had to decline and anger her because it is not sold in bulk. My ruff $190 estimate to replace everything quickly changed her mind thankfully.

I love my riccia mat. Once you get it going good and trimmed it has an amazing texture
