With the flag fish and amano shrimp, the algae growth will be kept to a minimum. If you want algae growth, you'll have to remove the fish/inverts that eat it.
Thanks, I'm not new to fatherhood, I have two others, just my first with my wife. The crazy thing is that my daughter graduated from high school last weekend and will be 18 this month.
There's no way to really tell with the residual water on the ground below the tank.
It could have been leaking at a lower level and not made it out until later. I'd have to give it 24 hours at each level to test it accurately. Which I should have done once I reached the 7:00 mark. I only...
Draining it down now. It was still leaking at around 1.5 gallons per hour. Tank depth went down about 1/16-1/8 inch that I can tell over 5 hours. I had put some newspaper down to soak up what I thought was residual water, but that evidently wasn't the case.
I'm going to tame this beast one...
That's at my friend's house in a gated community on Lake Ramsey between Covington, LA and Folsom, LA. I've been wanting to move there myself, but it's pricey.
Funny you mention pygmy goats. My wife was talking about getting one. There were 2 different ads giving them away. How big do they...
It did stop. My wife thinks we missed something up near the top of the window. For me, the fact that we resolved the original leak is a big deal. The tank has never been filled above the 7:00 level before, so I don't know if this has always existed or not. I told my wife that I'm ready to...
A little bad news. A little while after I filled the tank to above the window I noticed a tiny bit of moisture on the floor in front of the window. Wife and I watched a movie (Avatar) and fell asleep on the sofa. The dvd went back to the menu and the repetitive theme song woke me up a few...
7" from the top of window. I started marking the time with masking tape at intervals and found that over 10 minutes it filled 1.25" which is 74.26 gallons.
Just got back from Home Depot. About to cut the 2" ABS pieces for the top bulkheads, solvent weld those two in, then put the internal pipe and test caps in. After that, it's fill it up time!
Weeping is still about the same. Ken stopped by since he was in the area and agreed that it wasn't a...
3 hours with nothing other than the weeping on the bulkhead. Every test before, it leaked at just above 30" or so. Just turned on the hose to fill it another foot.
Going to let it get to 37 inches (2200 gallons) then let it sit a while. The bulkhead is definitely weeping, but not too bad. I'm going to run a bead of Dow 795 around them after I clean up the wall around the problem one and reseat it.
