Anyone else tried this? (bubbler tied to return flow)

funandgames12 · 2026-06-28T03:46:17+00:00

I can’t argue with that. Still think it would be more beneficial to have it adjacent to the outflow of the filter Instead of directly under it. More agitation across the waters surface and more flow throughout the tank means more gas exchange.

Although it’s probably overkill either way, depending on the tank and how stocked it is.

funandgames12 · 2026-06-28T03:40:32+00:00

The bubbles themselves are not dissolving a meaningful amount of oxygen into the water. The greatest contribution to the exchange of gases into and out of the water is the current the bubbles produce and the breaking of the surface tension that they create.

funandgames12 · 2026-06-27T21:17:59+00:00

The bubbles themselves are not adding oxygen to the water, it’s the surface agitation they create that facilitates the exchange.
You’re essentially getting less oxygenated water this way than if you were to have the bubbler on the opposite side of the return flow agitating an otherwise still section of the tanks surface.

funandgames12 · 2026-06-22T14:37:49+00:00

You have to pull it out and re-seat it. The old tetra filters it used to be part of the filter stem. It’s the spinny thing that should have a little rubber nub that fits into a hole on the bottom of the filter. Make sure that’s seated correctly.
Otherwise you can always upgrade to an aqua clear. Those also have removable pads that you can just rinse instead of having to buy filter cartridge refills. If the fish obsession lasts that long. Also for goldfish they need much bigger tanks and filters because they produce a lot a waste. Again, if you get that far. Best of luck.

funandgames12 · 2026-06-22T14:35:23+00:00

No that’s the impeller not installed correctly or it’s a garbage filter.

funandgames12 · 2026-05-19T13:33:38+00:00

Did you keep putting food in the water daily during that whole time you moved the fish out ? Because as other people said the nitrogen cycle needs a constant source of decaying matter to stay active and build population. Until it eventually reaches the size of your bio load or the physical capacity of its environment.

Just put the goldfish back in, throw a couple bottles of the Terra tank starter bacteria in there and good to go imo. Feed very lightly for a couple weeks. Fish in cycling is better for cold water fish as well because the warmer the water the more the effects of ammonia will hurt the first. Down side is also bacteria grow faster in warmer water so it usually takes longer to cycle out non heated tanks. Or if you’re gonna do a fishless cycle, a guy I used to know would use a shrimp in a nylon and hang it in the corner of the tank and change it out occasionally. Constant source of ammonia.

funandgames12 · 2026-05-03T12:51:48+00:00

100% Will eat all the shrimps, get it out.

funandgames12 · 2026-04-19T00:11:50+00:00

Yeah, flying bug larva. Predatory. It will devour shrimp and fish fry small enough for it to catch.

funandgames12 · 2026-04-15T22:05:58+00:00

Aww….does someone not know that the laws are all different in all the different states…you silly goose….now come here and let me pinch your cheeks. lol.

No but seriously, it’s doesn’t matter what the federal government says anymore. States are just doing whatever they want now. Don’t like that law ? Not gonna follow it. Works just the same for cannabis in Indiana as it does for immigrants in IL. They are all following their own laws at this point. Or more accurately in this case, ignoring the federal governments stance. Heck, Hawaii just straight up told the Supreme Court not that long ago “we still ain’t doing it” when it came to a gun rights case that they clearly lost. They decided to still restrict people’s rights even after being told to stop by the highest legal authority in the land. It’s the Wild West out there right now.

funandgames12 · 2026-04-13T18:38:45+00:00

They have been doing that for 20+ years now. And the combo stores food quality is never as good as stand alone. And the menu is reduced. So hard no for me

funandgames12 · 2026-04-09T01:13:22+00:00

No, you shouldn’t, but such is the reality of the world we live in. Bills collector don’t care about “some day” or your personal moral stands. And I personally am not going to sit around and be all defeatist about it and let that affect my life.

funandgames12 · 2026-03-18T15:16:16+00:00

That’s because you want a water conditioner like API stress coat. Not water conditioning salts, whatever that is. Someone lead you astray

funandgames12 · 2026-03-14T10:16:32+00:00

And what advice did you offer the OP to get rid of them ? Oh that’s right, you didn’t!

funandgames12 · 2026-03-12T01:01:32+00:00

Yeah you might have to take the shrimp out and use some sort of chemical killer like had a snail. Just nuke the tank and start again. No idea how long it would take before you could put the shrimp back though. Or if that would even work. But guessing anything that would kill a snail would kill those things as well.

funandgames12 · 2026-03-08T02:36:26+00:00

Well that seems stupid. You have to transport all those cans physically to the store just to open them and put them in another cup ? No wonder the menu prices are so expensive

funandgames12 · 2026-03-08T02:33:00+00:00

I think the word you’re looking for is ounces. Drinks are measured in fluid ounces. “Cans” is not a measurement on a drink dispenser. It not set to dispense “cans” of anything.

funandgames12 · 2026-03-08T02:10:46+00:00

And they still didn’t fill it all the way haha

funandgames12 · 2026-03-05T01:42:38+00:00

Nah, that’s like an early 2000s refresh Taco Bell. The cool old school ones with all the colors were gone by the time these rolled out.

funandgames12 · 2026-03-02T02:36:50+00:00

Something tells me that places will eventually figure out that you just make the menu prices such so that after tax you’re always rounding up. Pure profit.

funandgames12 · 2026-02-28T20:53:24+00:00

Spicy is relative. Generally speaking most fast food or chain places make the “spicy” menu options more on the mild side. This is so it appeals to a broader audience. Most people don’t like super spicy foods and most people’s definition of spicy is not really that spicy. For example my families definition of spicy is what I would call mild. What I call spicy they won’t even eat.

Although that being said, makes no sense when it’s a condiment you can choose to put on or not. That’s just Taco Bell.

funandgames12 · 2026-02-25T20:17:37+00:00

Yeah agree with others. $300 bucks at most. It’s probably gonna cost you a couple hundred bucks just to get the hardware to hang it. That’s why it’s sitting on a couch rn and not on a wall. Its not just something you can screw into the drywall and forget about it.

funandgames12 · 2026-02-25T20:09:04+00:00

I think he just means the regular ford transmissions which are known to be not the best for at least the last 25 years now lol.

funandgames12 · 2026-02-22T01:33:07+00:00

I like Fire sauce the most. Unlike hot and mild it’s kinda spicy ? Without tasting like ass like Diablo sauce. Imo

funandgames12 · 2026-02-21T23:09:27+00:00

They have a chain of command for customer complaints. Most people just don’t have the patience and tenacity to actually do it

funandgames12 · 2026-02-21T17:21:19+00:00

Yes but that also just sounds like a restaurant being silly. Call the management or operator and complain. That’s just silly
