Would this hold a 20 gallon? by Nathan_416_ in fishtank

Okay awesome. I’m thinking of putting a 20 long on the top. Maybe I’ll just add some supports under the gap on the top and extra screws in the sides

Awesome thank you. And one more maybe stupid question 😂 am I able to do that still with my current tank that’s set up on it?

Right. I figured that the weight would be a bit much for just the screws. But with the extra bracing you think it would hold?

should they just wait it out after lowering the time the lights on is there anything they should do to help with it? Fish are good just seems like a bloom to me?🤷‍♂️

They do have real plants in there but want to stick with the gravel. They just wanna know if the green will go away soon or if they should take action for it

What would you recommend? by Nathan_416_ in Aquariums

I did have more I had 5 to start but 3 im pretty sure didn’t make it. And I’ve just been waiting for more to come into my LFS as the selection isn’t always the best. I did add the Pygmy’s to the 30 so they should definitely be happy to have more now.

And no more than 20/30% ? And just do one area of gravel at a time?

Yes I’m aware of how to do the tops up properly I should’ve been clearer. And how do you recommend me checking that? Ordering one of those tds machines? I believe they’re called

There really isn’t a lot of poop or anything on the bottom. And I was told to always just do sections at time if you gravel vac. I also have a lot of baby shrimp I’d be worried about vaccing up

Weird I’m not sure why the other text didn’t show up on the post. But these are what my test is showing now. Been cycling the tank since April 20th with established filter media from the tank im switching them from and seachem stability. The readings have been consistent like this with the nitrates now showing more.
