A wise man once said, "It takes an idiot to argue with a fool... " Oops! (I just said it again) (; D

"That stand does not appear to be missing parts. Those rectangles are the indents for the pocket screws..." Those pockets are called mortises - :a hole that is cut in a piece of wood or other material so that another piece (called a tenon) will fit into it to form a connection. I've worked...

Not unusual for them to rest for a few days. Continue smell testing when in doubt. Too bad you didn't get a picture of the fuzzy/sack. FYI - try to provide a source of calcium to keep it's shell healthy.

You're missing critical parts inside the cabinet and it's even worse now that I see that! Has your Dad seen the photo? I'm not being facetious - now is the time to panic... not AFTER IT FAILS! The missing parts inside the cabinet have compromised it's ability to carry your tanks weight...

Have you checked the level of the floor it's on? In my opinion - It's EXTREMELY URGENT! I'm a carpenter and believe me, your floor wasn't built to support that kind of weght. You'd have to build a really beefy platform to put your tank stand on to be safe. Being on the 2nd floor makes it...

The 2 types seem to have all the same characteristics and will get BIG! I'll order 1 eventually. I've got 3 deep tanks and I'd like a tall growing plant in each. Thanks for posting. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

And yours is beautiful! In the right setting - a show piece. Is it in soil or what?

In the family of aponogeton?

Jail? Please accept my apology. I took your post for it's face value and wasn't aware of your condition. I hope you get back on your feet soon & stay there. Sincerely

How long have you had him? How big is your aquarium and any tank mates?

Very valuable advice. I hope it's not the problem too and thanks for the info.

At this rate you're gonna need a pond for the knife fish! A big one - How much bigger will it get? You've got great looking tanks. Black substrate is excellent touch, nice work all around. Nano looks really deep too. You must enjoy maintenance! Are those ottos?

Those are beautiful pieces of wood! And I'm not easily impressed... Hey, where's your fish? I enlarged pics & think I saw a loach & maybe a guppy too. Not sure. I'll look again. Is that a danio? 30 tall! You must have some long arms!

IMO - mystery snails won't eat your plants. They'll clean algae off them & they are interested in grazing on dead or dying plant matter but it's rather common knowledge that they don't eat plants. Of course some people believe they will & there may be exceptions too. But none I know of.

May have been enough activity to put some scare into them. Substrate change activity could have been enough to cause the tight grouping. Imagine that area became different to them too & my fish really dislike changes at first. Glad they're relaxing now.

Looks awesome. Looks like what I consider a very natural fish habitat. The water looks like your driftwood helps achieve that by leaching tannins. Yes?

IMO - it would be a sacrilege to re-purpose it. It's GORGEOUS! You seem like a determined person and I can appreciate that, and I agree with nearly everything you've said except making it an aquarium stand. My wife has always loved fine furniture but thru the years I've watched almost everything...

You'll get a lot of advice on this one - I'd never leave a new fish in a bag longer than it takes to bring bag water to temp. (75 /80 deg.) If you need advice on acclimating a new fish ask. Lottsa opinions on that too. Sounds like you & the newbie are stuck between a rock & a hard place.

Beautiful! You can see you put a lot of work into it.

I think it's related, but I'm curious - if you haven't cleaned your filters yet are you checking them? How do they look? Are they dark or smelly? Just wondering cause that's a long time without cleaning.
