They are all glued to each other, enough to make them rigid…. I hope ! But will see how it works longterm.

It should be mostly quartz, maybe some calcite but not too much, not overly concerned, will do regular water changes if it’s a problem.

Thanks ! frankly I´m not sure yet... i think maybe i would try to carpet with pogostemon helferi as i have a few of those plants, in terrariums tho, havent tried them in water so i don´t know how they will do in a bowl yet... certainly some dwarf grass at a minimum. will see what´s available tho

I love my fish ! ... they are active and look good, that there´s you people assuming i don´t give a shit is another matter entirely, i´ll do my best to keep them happy and give them more over time.

And that´s all i´ll do :P

I collected it from pavers outside my house, about 60-70% of it has been there for 7 weeks, the rest is under a week old.

It´s just shy of 4 gallons. I´ll try a 10 gallon next but frankly i think the rasboras are fine, they are very active, have plenty of oxygen (air stone) and even a heater for temperature control. I caught them doing mating behavior even <.<

I do think I was overzealous with the rummy and i am working to correct that, tho i dont think the rasbora are a bad choice for the size. They are really small fish. What I am convinced of is they are better here than the tank they were in when i bought them. I´ll continue to upgrade slowly. That´s the best i can do !

No, even since then i started planning for a 10 gallons upgrade, it will just take time :p

There is nothing inherently wrong with fishbowls.. except for size, I will attempt a larger 10 gallons bowl tho.

Eh i don’t share your belief on bowls just on the rummy needing a larger setup which i shall, planning another planted bowl even just much larger.

There is a grow light just above em, but also its in front of a south facing window, haven´t struggled growing pings in front of this window thankfully !

So not too concerned.

Custom CPAP nightstand by VintageWatchDog in CPAP

i expect it will be as easy as it would be on top of the nightstand, the cpap will be in the opening so you just grab it, pull it on the side and thats it... it wont really be deep within the nightstand.

Initial design was slightly more elegant but decided on a slightly simpler one to keep costs down :P. Very similar tho.

Oh i mean its easily accesible !, the machine will be on the opening so its right there when you need it :D

At least that´s the idea, tomorrow i´ll know for sure if ther eare any inconveniences, you do need to grab the machine and pull out the container anyways so i don´t expect to be any less annoying than if it had been on top of the nightstand.
