IMHO - when I feel the need to be extra sure I use straight hydrogen peroxide. It's cheap from a dollar store. I soak a dish rag with it and wipe it thoroughly. Then rinse well & use a dish detergent & wash again. And or, repeat with same process with straight alcohol. I understand your concern...

Looking great! Curious about your lighting - it looks pretty low. Is that because it's better that way for taking pictures?

AWESOME NEWS!!! Not usually... IMO What?!? I just got thru congratulating you... I'm bummed too. Well you've learned some valuable lessons.

I also found on google apples can grow to 6 inches.

Try this link. I think it'll answer the question. Life Cycle of the Freshwater Snail | Animals - mom.me Life Cycle of the Freshwater Snail I googled the question & this site answered the question spot on, but now I see the link opens "Life cycle" of snails... Ok, try the one below - How...

Really nice looking stone - You might try a stiff wire brush but not a fine one like they use on grills. They make one that's used for removing paint/rust, etc from wood/steel, etc. It might take the top layer of rock off but that wouldn't be a bad thing - right? Might not be able to get in...

Good question./ To boil? Or not to boill? That is the... Never got lava rock from a LFS (always found it to be unrealistically high priced - so I got a bag of lava rock from a building supply store & it's worked great. I didn't boil it & everything's be fine for over a year. Sorry, I digress...

That's the same one I use. I have an in-line shut off valve too. You? Really useful for a number of reasons.

Jake I hope you won't think I'm being a jerk - but ... You explained it by using the same description in the first post. You know what you're talking about and if I don't then that's my problem. Thanks for replying to me. Sincerely, BD

I've always felt great empathy for anyone driving a commercial vehicle. Long haul drivers seem the most patient. Local drivers, not so patient but I don't hold that against them. I don't commute anymore but I know what it's like to be in an interstate parking lot ...

I use the filter method you describe with good results but not on the end of a siphon. I'd like to ask how you can "push the water back into your tank"? I didn't think you could siphon from 1 tank while it runs into the same tank. I'm missing something there. Thanks I can understand your...

Hey Max, thanks and I've gone from "hoping" to praying! We have a garden full of perpetually dormant plants !

How about removing enough of your cycled water & putting it in a clean plastic tub or bucket &transferring the bloated fish into it? Use a heater & airstone. I've had good success treating bloat with epsom salt. Believe it or not, it will act like a laxative. 1/4 t.s. per gal. I too would not...

Thanks Dennis, it's great to be here

O I C. (now...) I'm on the dis-orient express. DOH! Mongo, You're in the Mojave Desert? And traveled thru AZ? For some reason I thought Momgoose came from Mississippi. Anyway, yes it's like another planet here.

Mmmm! Wild blackberries - the best!!! Preserves, syrup, jelly? Your Grandma was a good woman! In the Fall in Maine you'll see drunken bears in culverts & ditches eating fermenting berries. They're a riot to watch! Ski-idgits? What? they skI in Mississippi? Great chattin' with ya Momgoose

I think you'll find answers to most of your questions there and they may be good threads to join. I'll be following your progress. I think things will turn out fine. Ciao, BD

Transparent is good. Should see eyes soon. Is your tank planted? Look for the missing ones in anyplace they could be hiding. Is this your first hatch? Thinking you need a fry enclosure of some sort soon when they start to wiggle. Not sure exactly how long before they'll need fed, but I believe...

You sound like you may have been there. Yes? I've been to a couple maple syrup farms and I tell ya - there's no finer aroma. (Imagine if I worked at 1 I'd feel different). We're trying to grow hi-bush blueberry's & it's starting to look like it's been a fools folly. You put blueberry's in your...

Seriously? If you are... got a particular place you'd like to go to? You got me thinkin' about seafood now & I'm drooling like a fool!
