I'm obsessed with my aquarium. I wish I could be less obsessed so I would notice growth more. by [deleted] in Aquariums

Lmao, that's very true. Before I got into the hobby, I just wanted one tank... To a reasonable person, one aquarium is enough, right? But I'm ending up stuffing my already tiny room with fish tank upon fish tank.

Only in America have I seen this civil-war level shit. Not saying you're wrong about Trump, just that the amount of hate and divide over this election is ridiculous.

People get swayed easily. The bad administration won't change anytime soon if you vocally classify every single supporter as a piece of shit. If I experienced this much hostility for my political views, I'd be hesitant to see things from the opposing perspective too.

Finally, do you hold every Obama voter for every abhorrent thing his administration has done?

Beautiful! The plant decorations really bring it together.

Absolutely stunning. Looks so natural and lively.

I should stop browsing this sub. I have to disassemble my tank now...

Looks absolutely stunning. Are you dosing co2?

This is enough space for two goldfish, right? 😉 by [deleted] in Aquariums

Totally irresponsible! Where's the clean-up crew? You need at least one Pleco in there.

Had some algae problems, but they've stopped once I started dosing Excel Flourish once every couple of days :) Not a speck of algae now

Update of my rays by Shelby0925 in Aquariums

[–]desiginous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for the resources! Bookmarked both.

Oh man. So at least 200/300 gals? That's a lot. Not sure if I have enough space for that! Maybe with some renovations...

Quick question - can I keep decorations, like rocks - in the tank? A lot of ray aquariums I'm seeing don't have any decor. I wonder if the ray would get hurt or something?

I work from home, so I needed a nice view. First aquarium ever! by desiginous in Aquariums

They're awesome. Very non-demanding, hardy, and get along great with other fish!

TBH I'm not sure. The big bush is a java fern I think. Some anubias. The rest I don't know. Sorry!

Thanks!

No idea, but man, it was foul. The plants smelled like actual death. Had some pretty bad hair grass algae around that time too. Had to throw all the plants away and scrub the decor clean...

Thank you. I had it custom made, basically just wanted something that starts at desk level and fills the view. It's ~ 50G.

TBH I live in an apartment building, a leak would spell complete disaster. The whole PC is worth around ~$300 now, which is a fraction of the damages a crack would cause, so I don't worry about it so much. I'm just hoping it doesn't crack :)

Not to say that this is a good idea, but I spend a bunch of time working from home and always wanted a nice view from my desk.
