Fiberglass Aquarium Tanks

Allow them to cool off; Ive broken (sob) dozens.

Controls on these units are simple dials on top. Some are more or less calibrated, others you will have to initially check, adjust, check.

Thermometers: There are two basic analog varieties (as opposed to high tech electronic), alcohol (red), and liquid crystal (rarely do you see mercury, and for good reasons). These are all about the same inaccurate, but not to worry too m

What Im hinting at is simply transplanting the beneficial microbes from an established system to the new one. In actual practice, some of a stabilized, pollutant and parasite free sources gravel, rock, filter media is carefully placed in a sterile new-one of close temperature, specific gravity and pH. Voila!

Aquarium additives are available to adjust the pH, hardness and alkalinity of any type of aquarium in situations where it is necessary or desirable to match these water quality parameters to the native habitat of certain tropical fish and invertebrates. These are used primarily in marine aquaria, but some tropical freshwat

The stand upon which the tank sits is to be as close to perfectly level (planar) as possible with a tolerance of mere fractions of an inch (a few mm). Imbalanced tanks can place undue pressure on a side or seam and cause a leak. Irregular surfaces (knots, divots, fastener heads poking up, etc.) can cause pressure points and lead to a crack in the glass or acrylic. Likewise, the posts and pillars of the stand should make a large footprint to distribute the weight of the aquarium. Narrow legs or excessive shims c

Control nozzles will afford the final tuning needed in this regard. Most folks build their manifold the size of the inside perimeter of the display tank. For aquariums with a commercial plastic trim, small holes can be drilled in the recessed lip for plastic ties (cable/zip) to be fished through for securing the suspended manifold. Bare glass aquariums (no trim) can have fasteners (plastic hooks, cable ties, etc) embedded into a dab of silicone near the edge and put to use once the caulk is cured. Acrylic aquariums are very accommodating and can easily be drilled or glue

Fish Out of Water
Although Boni Comandante Jr.’s technique is intended to ship fish used for food, the idea of putting fish to 'sleep' and then transporting them without water is an interesting one.....
