Gonna see if I can trade the stupid thing at the swap today. I don't think the heater made the propellor go out, but no water movement and the tank cooking plus having the glasslid covering almost every slot, I'm surprised more fish aren't dead. It's under a year warranty ATLEAST, I don't know if I can return it to Petco though since the hoses are already precut

lars on just call up the company and get them to send you a replacement. also if that wont work (due to time and all that) you could buy one from petco and then return your busted one a day later or something. one way or the other the manufacterer will end up paying for it, which in my mind they need to be doing anyways. ive had good luck dealing with them before just talk up their products and just ask for their help, 9times outta 10 ill get more then i even needed . GL to ya

PS: next time u use a heater rated for a much larger tank barely even turn the thing on. even with my 125 i have my 300w jager heater set to like 65-69 and it keeps it a nice 72-75. one thing jager is good at is over doing things.

Got my new canister from Petco and was lucky enough to grab a 75watt jäger heater from Ron at the swap! Haven't plugged it in yet but I don't think you can kill these things.

Got a neat tiny filter with spraybar for the 10g shrimp tank, which I wish I would be referring to as my 6g bookshelf tank but someone snagged it before me. ); Also got a big java fern that got left in Lamental Jesters car after our fish adventure to midway with poke sephiroth.

My fav pic of the trip.

Dealership that can't park a Benz.

And my best buy of the day, I call him 'long dong silver', got him at B&I which is NOT just a food market. Poor fella had been there for 4-5 months, other fish would jump into his tank at night since they didn't have the self confidence to be seen around him during the day. ;D

Re: 15L build, 10g shrimp grow out, 55g Walstad

MikeB: OH CRAP. You're on! I'd definitely love to try a moss wall out of christmas moss, and whatever other mosses you'd like to offer! Crypteds, I only have one, and it seems to be doing pretty well in my 10 gallon, although, I'm not too sure exactly how to properly care for them, if you give me some tips on crypts, I'd definitely like to try those out as well

Psst, Lars On, since you're going to Seattle tomorrow (er...today), if you can manage a quick trip and meet up with MikeB for the moss and crypts, would you do that for me? Pleaaaase? =P no biggie though, just thought you could tackle two things while you're in the area. hehehe

Re: 15L build, 10g shrimp grow out, 55g Walstad

Shoot, I was in Liem's like, two days ago. Got 28 rummynose tetras from there, with an extra neon tetra thrown in the mix...along with Mr. Liem's famous sketchy water. LOL.

Those mogwai know how to hide, they're there. I swear they're there. =P I suddenly have this strong urge to watch nightmare creatures. haha

Re: 15L build, 10g shrimp grow out, 55g Walstad

I have a few spare RenaCal heaters if you need one or two for a spare. I believe they are 100W and 150W, but don't quote me on that. I'll give you one for free, didn't know you were in a bind with heaters.

How's the plants treating you?

 

[lars on]

Re: 15L build, 10g shrimp grow out, 55g Walstad

Oh I think I'm good in heaters now, just gonna keep the beast on the lowest setting.

Alright. Finally a recent picture of the tank! Plants are growing nicely, the melon swords have doubled in size. My new willow Hydros/hygros whatevers from gizmo added a lot of green and much needed coverage!

The barbs doing the 'feed us' huddle

 

[PokeSephiroth]

Re: 15L build, 10g shrimp grow out, 55g Walstad

Whaaaat? Wow, those barbs are surprisingly school well together. My barbs just kinda go wherever they please. "Yeah, this is MY territory, stay out!" hahahaha =P

When I get a chance, I'll see about giving you some of my barbs

Re: 15L build, 10g shrimp grow out, 55g Walstad
