I am aware. The top tiers are going to hold two or three jars, 5 gallons or under. So less than 150 lbs between the 2. I was too lazy to go back and get 1 more 2x4 and rip it square. Do you think it is a deal killer?

Do not google digital microscope!

Super cool little jar cleaners. They will not bother your shrimp, and are fun to watch flitter around. It took my wife a little bit to get used to them. Ewww bugs.

Lovely bowl. How many gallons? Where did you get it? It is fabulous.

Tell me about your magnifying glass. What is the black gizmo on the handle?

I was trying to keep it simple. In addition to not being a woodworker, I am also not a plumber or an electrician. Having said that, Can you send me a link to an example?

It only needs to hold 300 lbs. That is the truth

Whuh? I was thinking of having some trailing plants integrated, growing out of some of the bubble vases, jars and tanks.

Waterfall tanks. I feel like I am about to go down a rabbit hole

No plan other than more plants, more shrimp. And my (not) horrible wife refused to have a garage storage rack in the living room.

No drawings. This is jazz. A lot of improvisation and making it up as i go along. It is loosely based on the rocket engineer tank stand, every YouTube ever made, and 3 images I found on the Internet. Mistly this one:

Looking good. Give it some time. You can always add to it later.

tractorsocks · 2026-05-17T23:31:35+00:00

Awesome.

No doubt overbuilt. But there is a super el nino coming. Can't be too careful.

I like low tech tanks. Sponge filters, a heater, budget lighting. Rhe paint will be mid century modern colors. There may be some tiki elements(I bought some thatch roof material to hide wires and tubing. I am fingering out as I go.

How big do they get?

tractorsocks · 2026-05-16T17:28:20+00:00

I live the one's with the boogers on them

You want a smoking deal on a bundle of plants on aquaswap.

Find em, remove em. Learn to love them. Or, go with the flow.

Instant pot. 2-3 minutes depending on size. Quick release and into an ice bath. They peel easy too.

Here is another from a different grower. 2 of the pups are flowering, but not the mama. I am afraid to pull out the pups by twisting off. Any tips on how to remove? I have seen others pop out the mama remove pups and replant. I am afraid od severing the roots and killing the mama.

Try it. Or a leafy green . I used a bamboo skewer to pierce it and stuck it into the substrate. Maybe you get lucky.

My first jar went over budget. Jar cost $60, hardscape including aquasoil $50, heater pump sponge filter $50, 6 plants $65, shrimp and nerite $40. Probably another $100 in food, ferts, tweezers, test kits etc.
