    Looks like you made out well with some nice scores! That 3 gallon beverage container is so sweet. I gotta find one, one of these days. The replacement spigot on amazon suggestion is a gold nugget!
    I really like when channels bring in a guest for their videos like this. Not that there's anything wrong with the regular vids. I enjoy them thoroughly. Just adds a little something which I enjoy. Of course it's got to be the "right" guest. I like when I see you on an Aquarium Co Op vid. Like everyone else, I enjoy when Dean makes an appearance here. But Dani is super great as well. I'd love to start seeing her on other channels. That would be so fun.
    I know you and Jimmy are buds. It would be nice to see him as well. Love that guy.

    Yard sales are another excellent source for hobby related items, or things that can be repurposed for hobby use, and a lot of times if nobody has shown any interest in an item, the yard sellers tell me...just take it, we need this junk gone. Serious fish folks are very creative and thrifty, which makes sense. I'd rather spend my money on higher dollar good quality fish.

      Estate Sales too, but be willing to dig. For whatever reason I keep stumbling across metaframes, have two each of the 5g and 10g and regretfully had to pass up an all original 40g setup with its slate intact.

      @@danidoeslife2290 I’ve been breeding elassoma evergladei and it’s a real fun and easy fish to breed. All I really do is put a pair in a 2 gallon nano “tank” with a butt load of moss and hornwort. I then feed live baby brine shrimp everyday and fry just appear. The only thing about them is they are super reclusive and skittish. If you seriously want to get into pygmies check out Aquabid and there is a seller by the name of “Houseofrivs” who almost always has some

      Yes! Slate bottom? That's awesome.
      I have found a few 5 and 20 gallon longs and my odd sized 15 gallon. Bring them home, water hold test, and still going 2 years later. Just have to make sure it's aquarium vs. Reptile tanks, with the thinner glass.

    • @kirkmorrison6131
      @kirkmorrison6131 4 роки тому

      The old slate bottom framed tanks can be fixed by filling with hot water from the water tank and adding a quart or two off boiling water then drained it when cold. It works almost every time

    Hello...when reading reviews on the Xtreme fishfood someone mentioned the preservative that's in it and gave it a bad review. I'm a newb and after further research I realized the preservative is in most fish food. Wondering what your thoughts on this are. Thanks.
