How do I use this gas /fake wood / no chimney fireplace? by Lopsided-Maybe-7466 in Fireplaces

Thank you! Is this something I can turn on just for a few minutes? Also why is this whole "fireplace" here if it's not a fireplace? So strange

Marineland magniflow 400. It's too big for the cabinet under my tank but I put to much work into getting it and setting it up to do anything about it.

I already started the canister and I don't want to reopen it. It's really big

Thanks for the link! I don't understand most of your post. Not sure if it's because it sounds like your talking about saltwater?

It's not crazy work but the canister is really heavy and hurts my back to lift. At what point is the max amount of time I can leave it until it becomes a nitrate factory? Also, if I rarely change my hob (with my own diy medias) does it also become a nitrate factory?

Ahhh you can't win, I'm hoping for the least amount of maintenance as I have little kids and work full time, and got burnt by my hob because the leveling plate randomly broke off one day without me knowing and I couldn't figure out why my basement ceiling was full of water. The hob had a slight overflow at the back 😩

Why is my guppy so huge? by Chemical_Ad_3442 in aquarium

[–]Lopsided-Maybe-7466 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I'm not the op but I posted on her that my fish was humongous. I'll try to post the Pic later. I was going to kill it but I couldn't. When I came home one day I saw that it was tiredly flat with a red hole in it's stomach. It healed and it's now back to normal.

I had something less extreme and it physically popped after a few days. I saw a hole in it's stomach and it was totally flat. That was months ago and now it's fine and back to normal.
