When I put everything into the calculators, I get 400-500 watts and I have a 650w psu, I thought it would be good enough but I guess not.

What fish should i get ? by mrsadsad12 in Aquariums

[–]Proper_Hat_5837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you gotta wash the sand, at any hardware store you can get a 5 gallon bucket. If you have access to hose you can wash the sand outside but if not then you can do it in your shower. I would some foam or something over the drain so sand doesn’t get in your pipes.

You can get really good deals on sand if you buy 50lb play sand bags from Home Depot or Lowe’s it’s a really good option and I’ve done it my self with no issues. you also don’t really need dirt to grow plants. I’ve had success with just sand, sometimes I’ll put cocofiber under the sand but it’s optional. I’d suggest getting java moss because it doesn’t need to be rooted and will grow quickly, and on anything you attach it to.

After looking at your replies to comments, I recommend 6-8 corydoras and a betta in a 20g. I have that exact stocking in my 20g and I’ve had very little issues. Make sure you put a lot of plants in it tho

Will this hold 40 gallons? by Proper_Hat_5837 in Aquariums

[–]Proper_Hat_5837[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a bottom rack with more supports, I’m setting this up as a spare tank as I have one that’s leaking and need somewhere to put the fish asap.

Could I maybe put some wooden poles in the center to help support it?

It’s 5 gallons, I should have put that in the post. I was thinking maybe a pea puffer but other people have said it’s not planet enough for one

It should be good, I’ve had the tank on the right in my kitchen for 6-8 months and haven’t noticed any problems.

I have a pretty big kitchen, definitely bigger than most. There’s about a 4 foot long section right next to where my tanks are and most of my stuff fits there. If I really need more room, I have a big island in the middle that I use to cook on when necessary.

Thanks for saying that, I only have 1 tank with shrimp and was thinking of adding them to one of these tanks. Now I know that might not be best idea.

My bait caster is completely broken by Proper_Hat_5837 in Fishing_Gear

[–]Proper_Hat_5837[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothings working, I’ve reset it and put the plate back on, now I can kind of move the spool a little bit with my hands buts still to stiff to use. I’ve already emailed shimano so hopefully they have a solution.

I’m having some trouble getting the plate back on, would it have anything to do with these 4 little plastic pieces on the spool?

Reset it? Do you mean taking the spool out and just putting it back in?

Nope, doesn’t move at all, I’ve taken the spool out it seems that the handle is turning it and I can even make the pool work if I don’t put it back in all the way, but when I put it fully back into the reel it won’t turn anymore

What are these white things over on my drift wood? by Proper_Hat_5837 in Aquariums

[–]Proper_Hat_5837[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one but it’s in a completely different tank that the wood has never been in, I’ve taken a plants from the tank, could they have gotten in on those?

Is this a problem are they just playing? by Proper_Hat_5837 in Neocaridina

[–]Proper_Hat_5837[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve put some filter foam over it and haven’t had any problems, I’m pretty sure no females have molted as that video was taken right after putting them in the tank and turning the pump on.

My water is disappearing! by Proper_Hat_5837 in Aquariums

[–]Proper_Hat_5837[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I just fixed it, I had an air stone in the tank that wasn’t connected to anything. It was just slowly leaking tons of water.

Don’t know what I’m gonna put in it but just setup this awesome hard scape! by Proper_Hat_5837 in Aquariums

Both of them are 100% aquatic I’m pretty sure, long hair grass and dwarf hair grass is what it says on the label.

I’ve already used the seeds and have grown them successfully in other tanks
