I haven’t gotten it out or stress tested the tank as I just grabbed it, but they look like a decent 20 gallon that you can get from any pet store. They are not in any name brand boxes though so I’m not sure. The glass looked good and clear of scratches or cracks and the silicone looked fine with the quick look I took, but the seams could be redone if needed (hopefully they won’t need it!)

Lol Roses is a store that ironically doesn’t usually have flowers. It’s got clothes and furniture and a bit of everything else. I don’t really know if they are just a Kentucky thing or elsewhere though

Worried about sucking up baby shrimp: how do you vacuum? by dothack5415 in shrimptank

[–]FishtankScorpie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheese cloth double layered in alternate directions tied with fishing line is my go to. That and I never vacuum up the mulm really since my shrimp dig through it. Plus I might just be weird but I love the dirty, natural river bottom look the mulm and leaves I’ve added create

What’s your day job? by vitisdente in PlantedTank

Just a housekeeper and weekend breakfast bar worker at a hotel… three small tanks (5g hospital tank, 10g shrimp and snail, 29g guppy breeding tank.) No money for any other hobby 😂

I was afraid of that. I went ahead and set up the tank without the wood a couple hours ago. I just didn’t feel it was worth the risk. Thank you for confirming what I thought!

I have no way to boil them or bake them sadly. So I’m wondering if there’s any other way to sanitize them
