Posted a couple days ago. Might still be available. I would go get it myself except I am neck deep in honey-do projects :( https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/zip/d/tacoma-free-150-gallon-fish-tank-as-is/7671937505.html

Was posted lastnight! https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/zip/d/tacoma-free-fish-tank-125-gallon-with/7657041821.html

I saw it a couple hours after it was posted. It took everything in me not to go pick it up. I have too many honey-do projects to add another of my own though!

I run the white between 6 & 8, depending on top plant growth. The blue usually at 8

So it is me then :( I have replaced with both beamworks and generic power supplies. I do have the dimmers on the tanks. I was suspecting that, but if y’all use them too then that is an unlikely culprit. Grr. This is frustrating.

I have been rocking Beamworks LED lights on my tanks since 2014 or 2015. Every year power supplies die on me. I have spent as much in replacement power supplies as the lights themselves by this point. Happens on all my tanks, across multiple houses. The current house has new wiring and the...

The water parameter is a fair point. I would note that that was taken into consideration. The Multi tank has the same water parameters as the community tank. After raising them for a couple years, and through generations of babies, I am confident that they will thrive in the water in the...

With a week without incidents, I am feeling good about sharing my latest scheme… I have at times been called the contrary aquarist, because I will do things that “common knowledge” says will not work. I have fallen in love with these shellies and long wanted to try them in the 150 gallon...

Last update was in June. This old gal is still kicking. No idea how or why. Her gills look horrible, but she acts normal otherwise ‍♂️. The saga continues.

I voted! Just saw the poll. Created another tie, but for 2nd place. hehe

@lloyd378 don't buy! I am happy to support budding young people. Just let me know how many you want and they are yours.

There is a shop in Renton called Sierra Fish and Pets that I have taken other plants and fish to. The manager there can be stingy, and demands "example stock" first. They do have a lake specific tank. I will take them a "sample" soon. I have some overgrown plants to take them anyways, so worth a...

I love your setup!

Dec 2022 update The Neolamprologus Multifaciatus community had an explosive recovery! The video does not adequately capture just how packed this aquarium is. The original babies are all grown up and starting to have their own babies now. Shellies are fascinating. Even though there are a lot...
