  1. How much bow in acrylic is acceptable

    Yea it was in the tool box. I removed it. Not very practical as a tank. I'd did have a brace in it. But never touched it. Yea. Awesome idea. With my tanks setup being in a tool box wasn't very practical. I may tear it down put it up nice and clean. And just use a regular tank The tool...
  2. How much bow in acrylic is acceptable

    I've had it for about 4 months now it's not really got any worse. Just hate to blow a rare tank setup out one day. This thing is supposed worth like a grand plus
  3. How much bow in acrylic is acceptable

    Looks to be 1/4 inch of I had to guess This was what it was originally inside a tool box I wonder if the box avidly supported the front
  4. How much bow in acrylic is acceptable

    I got a special snap on acrylic tank 11 gallon. This thing got an awful lot of bow to me. Never had an acrylic before so I don't know
  5. The 15 Gallon Column Aquascape Challenge

    I got one tank I got setup nothing but plants. I got my 10 gal rimless setup and scaped some.
  6. My gallery setup

    Possibly the axolotls. I kinda got more sick with rescues. Over stocked tanks I was able to spread out some.
  7. My gallery setup

    Yea the maintenance on the smaller setups is a lot easier in bulk I got a decent little rifle setup for water changes. Not to mention 2 tanks are just plants for the others. I have 3 setup with single axolotls in them. 1 bare bottom. My 40 gal setups are way over filtered.
  8. Custom snap on box aquarium

    Yea. I'm pretty psyched about it. I got a carport today too so I'm just now getting to set this up. Luckily I got plenty of plants cycled media and junk. So I should be up and running. My well water is a bit murky. So it takes a day or so for new tanks to clear up for me. Never had an...
  9. Custom snap on box aquarium

    It was a promotion for the conventions. My tool dealer bought one and never set it up. He donated it to me with the promise I will never sell it. Which I won't of coarse.
  10. My gallery setup

    I had 8 tanks donated. Plus the 2 I currently had active. Smaller tanks imo easier to manage for myself.
  11. Custom snap on box aquarium

    Have not posted in a while folks. Had to show off my newest addition. My tool guy has had this sitting for a while and gave it to me knowing I'm the only one does fish local. It's a real snap on box with a custom acrylic tank setup with sump split on the back. Super rare. Ultra cool More pics
  12. Oily film on water

    I've built surface skimmers just for this as everyone says. Surface agitation. I would run mine for like 30 or 45 min hanging in the tank after water changes and once a week to deal with mine.
  13. Well water for aquarium?

    I've been using my well water for about 4 years now never treated. Mine has 20 ppm of nitrates. So that's my base. Other than being a bit hard my ph is about the same 8.0. my tanks have been awesome
  14. Thinking of getting an axolotl

    Yea. I got landed with mine. I didn't have any ideas on them. Never even knew they existed. Luckily I'm a quick learner.
  15. Thinking of getting an axolotl

    The 50 will be ok for 2 with at least water changes every 2 weeks or sooner. Axos are cold water so ya know. Prime temp is 63 no more than 72. I would use more than a sponge. I got mine in a 55 with a 30 hob aqueon with a sponge on the intake. A 55 aqueon hob. A riser tube from a under...
