I don't think adding a blue acara would be a good choice longterm, It might work for a little bit when everything is young but between the bonded pair of apistos and the two honey gouramis they might end up fighting during spawning.

Like button must have been lost in the software update. I wish this place wasn't such a ghost town, A ton of people on FB could benefit from the knowledge hidden in this forum, Come learn some new stuff without everyone exploding because you might not be doing it their way.

My first thought is if you pull the spawning pair to a new tank it might take awhile before they get comfortable and back in to the swing of things, are you able to pull the Cory's to the 15 instead for a little while? if your willing to wait for them to get comfortable in the 15, then some dithers id recommend if you can find some locally try some pencilfish they stay a little higher in the tank.

Well life has been pretty crazy lately, I found a little time to get a 100-110G stock tank from UFA and upgrade my endlers outside for the summer from the 50-55gallon bin they were in before. I’ve just got a small heater to help at night, a sponge filter and a airstone. Lots of hornwort and water lettuce for the baby’s to hide in. http://AlbertaAquatica.com/uploads/monthly_2022_07/image.thumb.jpg.f7cad37546efe32c70d90bf2fc5f4649.jpghttp://AlbertaAquatica.com/uploads/monthly_2022_07/image.thumb.jpg.8e4ed320793d8b8493921edd2884de7d.jpg I got a inexpensive auto feeder from Aquarium central and tied a plant dome from the dollar store over it to protect from rain

I’m glad this place is still up and running, there’s some great knowledge hidden away in these forums. Thanks for the welcome back Jvision! I’ve got a 50 gallon ‘pond’ going outside this year, did a 100 gallon last year. Watch out for water Beatles I found one in my rain barrel yesterday. Probably about 1.5inch but it could easily kill my outdoor guppy’s. http://AlbertaAquatica.com/uploads/monthly_2022_06/957A77CE-F454-49F1-BFDB-74A70590D96F.thumb.jpeg.b9ff51cf6f76382f5fc442a1fd510292.jpeg

Hey everyone, I used to frequent this forum way too much, it’s seems like yesterday I was buying out fish rooms and doing monthly Calgary trips…ahh the good old days. How is everyone doing? Is this place still active? I hope so. I met some great people on here over the years. @jvision @Jayba @BettaFishMommy @DragonNeko @Fisher

Hey welcome to the forum. this is the say hi/welcome section,if you want some responses try posting in the community tank section of the forum

How many stands do you want built? I know a really good guy,I'll pm you with a picture of the one he made me.

Small air pump/power head running 24/7 if you want to age your water in barrels, I suggest just doubling your dose of prime and doing your normal water changes,it takes up a lot less time and space If you read the bottle of prime you can safely dose 4X the normal dose.....I have seen it dosed more than that with no real bad effects on the fish

This aquaponics system should grow wasabi really well in theory. I was just reading about how they grow wasabi in Asia, two main ways well draining dirt and a lot of water. Or they grow it in sandy gravelbeds that they flood with spring water

That was you!, I had to order in the very last two bags they had in storage at AS.lol just give it a little rinse before use because its a little dusty.

Cool man. For your growing bed I suggest looking for hydroton brand expanded clay,it's out of Germany(available at most grow shops) It's my fav media,better than crushed lava rock(lava rock can cut/hurt the roots) Hydroton is no longer shipping to North America,pretty soon you will only be able to buy hydrocorn brand clay the hydroton is better uniformity and size of media

Nice,I have no experience with marbled crays Do you think they will be enough of a bio load to keep the plants happy? I found sunblaster t5 fixtures are affordable and work well,then for a extra boost I mix in a little led light as well. I have found the LEDs are not necessary but add a little extra oomph If you have a larger budget I would suggest a 250-400w metal halide(but you would need to instal cooling fans most likely) if you want some goji berry seeds or a Passion flower vine Ill give you some seeds

Very cool Ron. Have you decided on what will be in the stock tank yet? Also what kind of lighting are you going to use on the plants up top? Last question,what are you going to grow up top? Keep the pictures coming

Hydroponic store or year round greenhouse center(not Home Depot or Rona) Sorry cant give you any names of business in Calgary
