Stuff that happened to you today but isn't worth a thread

very much so, i couldn't think of a better way to utilize a 37l at my current skill level, easy to breed and relatively cheap.
i say relative because i paid R65 each for the blue dreams at 1cm from the same shop selling green spotted puffers for R35! man i want a puffer tank

 

Pea puffers are mighty cute
Tetraodon schoutedeni are amazing but kinda not found in SA

 

it was a tough decision between pea puffers and a shrimp tank for the 40l, decided to go with shrimp due to skill level and food supply for the puffers(snail "problem" still in infancy)

 

Your solution lies in algae tabs and cucumber haha

 

Found out about this place in Belgium. They're a diving school and you dive in a million liter tank with over 30 species of fish. And now I want to swim with mbu puffers.

Stunning @Kiaan26

Thanks for sharing
This is the perfect example/proof of how tank size influences the variety of species you can keep together

 

So caught some small out of the tank I purchased recently. Did not even expect to see them... Soup spoon and toothpick for scale.

Well... Here comes the 140l tub pond filter prototype.
45l tub connected via 20mm hose.driven by a 700l/h pump, thinking drip through batting to scrubbers through tray into either static Leca clay pellets or a liquided media bed.

Do you know if LECA floats or sinks?

 

floats, but will sink to midwater once bacterial growth forms as far as i can tell.
will be pinning it down if i do go for a static bed. probably going for a drip into a liquid media bed, will see how it pans out

 

Interesting, would be fun to make an island out of it for an aquarium

 

Twist my rubber arm... Was getting marine silicon anyway... Let's see

My apple snail eggs hatched today!

Only a few babies but it was their first batch of eggs.

 

I gave all my anubias a bleach bath. Moved them into a separate tank and sometime in the next week I am giving the tank a bleach cleaning. Hopefully the end of clado in that tank.

 

Please let me know if you try this, how it goes!

 

I'm giving some java moss a hydrogen peroxide bath to get rid of Spirogyra. Seems to be working well
