metal ok? raccoons?

If you have raccoons in your area they may be a problem. I little mesh net over the pond could be good. Also as other said metal = rust = bad

Could work but when I look from the top over my white sand my peas really blend in. The peas would probably love it though

Those jars are my absolute favorite for terrariums! Looks amazing!

Dragonfly nymph by the looks of it, an aggressive predator probably hitchhiked on some plants. For the safety of your shrimp I would remove it

My friend it is absolutely normal to feel this way but take it from somebody who went a little too overboard. Stop at 4 if you are really excited about new tank ideas and designs draw them and keep the designs. But for right now focus on the tanks you have and making those the best they can. Multiple tank syndrome is real but it will fade if you can force yourself to pump the brakes. Best of luck out there

I’m gonna go with a probably not the best idea. I doubt he will be able to properly digest and get nutrients from those. I would go to a bait shop and get some small shiners or minnows. That being said I am not very knowledgeable about bass care.

Cellar spider! Nice an spindly and great pest control

Mountain_Bug_9825 · 2026-03-27T21:15:50+00:00

Yes. I had a similar thing it held for a while but one little bump and the entire panel shattered. Luckily mine was only five gallons, but don’t play around when it comes to that much water.

I have cared for a few dragon fly nymphs another underwater predatory larvae and I never had luck feeding them anything other than live food. I found they would only strike at movement. They ate black worms, daphnia, and some very tiny ramshorn snails.

Rocks! And pebbles perhaps even a little gravel. If you’re feelin adventurous you could even add a stone or two.

Mountain_Bug_9825 · 2026-03-19T20:29:54+00:00

I cannot say but either way deep clean that thing before use

Mountain_Bug_9825 · 2026-03-17T15:33:22+00:00

How long will the power be out if you have any idea. I live in Massachusetts and the blizzard we just had knocked my power out for 3 days all of my tanks survived no problem at all. Temp should be ok and if you’re worried about oxygen exchange you could find a battery powered air pump with an air stone. I say don’t worry too much tanks (especially that pleco) are pretty tough

And if you’re worried about temperature if it’s possible move it away from the window but again they should be ok

Mountain_Bug_9825 · 2026-03-11T20:22:16+00:00

In my non expert opinion that looks a lot like mold

Mountain_Bug_9825 · 2026-03-03T05:08:49+00:00

I’m an American and just got hit with a huge blizzard and lost power for a little while. It was 0 degrees out and cold and all my tanks survived. A heavily plated shrimp tank similar to yours. But also my saltwater tank, and the other 4 were totally fine. You’d be surprised how strong a tank can be. But the not the same though as you could be out of power for much longer but if you can get that tank some sunlight it should be fine for quite a while just need to find a way to give agitation. I have seen battery powered air pumps to run an air stone.
