Thank you. It's always a bit rough in the beginning. I spent days on the hardscape and substrate slope. We'll see how it ends up.

I posted a while back about getting back into the hobby. I uploaded photos of my garage tank. I wanted drama, but then decided that I wanted a larger tank in the house. This is in no way a true Iwagami, but I was influenced by it. I always drifted toward wood hardscape as the focal point but...

We all come back eventually, right? It's been a few years. I moved from MA to MO, sold all of my tanks and equipment and moved away from the aquarium life. I got the itch again so I started with a five gallon, planted bowl with an air stone and shrimp. I keep this in my kitchen because, ya...

I agree. The nerves don't paralyze me, but I guess I'm more aware. I also just like to cruise at speed limit level. It's relaxing on a day off. My younger brother is about the "high" and I'm not. Just want to feel the bit of freedom that comes with riding. Oldest brother has been riding for...

Thanks all! Update! I'll include starting photos. I added some black sand to the top of the slope to try and blend from dry to wet. Added two Gold Ribbon plants and four Java Fern. Added a few small horn wood pieces for accent. Added a bit of leaf litter to the soil. Have to get a new glass...

Nice!

Soooo....my 20 Gallon UNS has a significant chip. I decided to break it down before cracks manifested. I wondered what I could do with it, and decided on a paludarium for vampire crabs. I drilled and crushed lava rock for the drainage layer, put screen mesh down, and topped it with reptisoil...

Ahhh...let's call it a mid-life crisis from last year. I bought a 2014 Yamaha Bolt 950....was terrified at first, but two of my brothers ride, and one gave me a few lessons. I love it but still a bit nervous. I'm in Massachusetts, so by the time that I got a good feel for it, in storage it went...

Just a typical AC adapter for the outlet. I can probably solder the wires back on. Not sure.

So the end of the power supply that plugs into the solenoid broke. I am having trouble finding a replacement. I just need the adapter (bottom part with prongs) to plug into the actual power supply. I tried searching online, but no luck.

Thanks! Yup...not touching it anymore besides water changes.

Trying to be more active on the forum again, so here we go. If any of you followed my tank builds, you'll know that I have a problem....This tank has been through a lot of changes, and I just tweaked it again. I felt like the upper portion was lacking, so I raised the horn wood, adjusted rock...

True! There is one male guppy in there, but if I can't get my hands on Killifish, male guppies it is.

Go for it. It looks great. I'm also hoping it will take care of the leftover algae that I have been battling. We shall see!

I have a male and two female honeys in my 20. Thank you though!
