    When your filter stops running take a skewer stick and just hit the propeller and it should start up again
    . That way you don't have to take the thing apart to try and troubleshoot

    You may want to raise the HOB (Hang On the Back) filter intake higher so that it does not suck up any sand. The pre-filter is porous enough for sand to pass through it.

    I recently got rid of two tanks. They were sitting on the bottom rack of tank stand and looked great. But I found that I just never really looked at them, hated cleaning them at that height, and they just took up more time for less enjoyment. My life is so much easier without those two - have five others to enjoy! Hopefully you have better experience with your two tanks on bottom shelf than I did.
    Also, you might want to put a strainer or sponge over the intake of your Tidal filters with those fry. Even a nylon sock will keep them from getting trapped or killed.
    Loving the content! 😀

    Kaity heads up you are fully correct about aqua-soils leaching ammonia depending on product 3-5 days, however if at some point you would like shrimps or anything delicate like them wait for the soil to be around 3-6 months old depending on how much you have used.. great update take care..

Every time I get rid of stuff and turn around, all kinds of other stuff has seemed to magically appeared tanken. It seems like you can hear that big sucking sound and swish, it's all back. 🙂I almost have to lock doors so that won't happen! All in good fun. 🙂 Anyway, everything looks fantastic.

    I thought speckles was spoiled last week, now getting a 4ft tank upgrade :D The tropica aqua soil is very good although it has a tendency to mix into the sand over time so careful if you will have fish that will uproot plants or dig. Sometimes people put the soil in mesh bags so it wont mix and the roots can stell get into it. Looking great tho

Tropica is really good aquasoil, that's what I use in my aquariums, just be careful on the pH however as it can lower it a bit. Bagged a bargain with that aquarium too, can't wait to see what you do with that one! Pretty cool seeing your dog too, how long did it take to train them?

      @@juliaforsyth8332 Thank you. I had no idea that someone could conduct periodic inspections inside homes while they are being occupied 😮 I didn't know it could be legal. I have relatives who own rental properties, but they always conduct these inspections after the tenants have moved out and there's nothing left inside the houses. In case of damages, the security deposit that tenants initially made for any damages is not refunded.

    You are getting the rack quite setup. You're going to have to put the rug down after you clean up and stick a couch out there so you can sit and watch them. Instead of a Man-cave a Fish-cave. I was worried that even with the board on the shelves that they were going to bow, but they seem to be doing good and staying rigid.
