[AquaticLife] I really messed up this time!

My 55 gallon tank is lower on the right side than the left, I never thought to fix it because the problem is from my lumpy really old carpeting.

The method that you level would depend on the stand. If it has legs and you do not need much raise I would think you could place a piece of wood directly under the leg, or you could get something at the hardware store that you could raise and lower via a nut and […]

So, do you shim up the tank stand by adding pieces of wood under the legs,or what? Thanks, Jim In a message dated 1/7/2009 10:13:47 A.M. Central Standard Time, uneekfish@gmail.com writes:

Well, I am new here and to fish keeping, but not knew to making mistakes!
I would drain tank water into 5 gallon buckets and rehome the fish there. HOB fiter or whatever you have, make it work in the bucket.
Level the stand so the tank is level. NEVER try and shim up the tank […]

I really messed up this time!

In my excitement and enthusiasm when I got that 29-gallon tank for Christmas I forgot one very, very important thing.   Plumbing and leveling the tank!   I can’t believe an old hand like me messed up this bad, even a “rookie” would not make this mistake but there it is, as stupid as it […]

Yeah this is the worst winter I’ve seen since I was a kid, and I dont’ think that one was even that bad. So it’s been easily 15-20 years since we’ve had this much snow, especially all at once. I’m so ready for the rain to come back, at least I can […]

Sounds like I need to move to the ‘dirty’ south as you so put it Lenny We have had intermittent rain in between snow so there’s now ice under snow and more snow is coming down. There is easily 3 1/2 to 4 feet of snow out there, and much more […]

Hmmmm.. that sounds like a cooler pack, rather than a heater pack. Are you in the frigid north or down here in the dirty south, where it’s 73F outside right now? I don’t even remember where DFS is located off the top of my head but I suspect they are up north. […]

Unless you are teetering on the edge of having enough oxygen in the tank to support the fish, which, from the video’s I saw you are not, there is nothing to worry about. Yes, live plants will take in O2 at night and release CO2 in turn, it is not normally enough to upset the […]
