Topping off a tank is not a water change.
@elenamakes
@elenamakes 7 сағат бұрын
It’s not a traditional water change but you lose a lot of water to evaporation in an open top tank so topping it off as it evaporates does change over the water. For example, my long tank loses ~1/3 of the tank water a week to evaporation so I’m constantly refilling it to keep the water line high.

I just rescued an all black 2022 Sirrus X 3.0 from my apartment complex dumpster. I was surprised by 2 things… 1) how well that aluminum frame soaks up surface jitters. 2) all of the interesting design details like a copper stem cap, reflective paint, and stickers over the presta wheel hole to prevent scratching the rim while tightening the valve, and plenty of tire clearance. I love it. The only “bad” part of the bike is the weld quality. A bit ugly, but completely functional. You folks make a good product.

The tanks are beautiful!! Do you have a heater in the tank for your betta? Or some method of keeping the water warmer?

Love the setups! I can definitely relate to the nerdiness of the hobby. Sometimes I get a new medaka or something similar and rave about it, and my friends are like, "That's a plain-looking fish..." 😂 A couple of tips: - The bags you used for pouring water looked like trash bags-those might not be safe for fish, especially if they have any fragrance. Regular food-safe ziplock bags would be a better option. - The round tank looks cool, but it’s generally not ideal for fish because the distorted glass can affect their eyesight. It might be better suited for blind fish. Good luck!🫶

I especially like the larger tank. My dad always loved having fish, and the last tank he had was just huge (100 gal., I think). It had a couple of rather large goldfish in there, and he would actually feed them romaine lettuce. He made a weighted clip that would hold the lettuce and keep it in place while they fed and a hook to retrieve it when they were finished. When it was feeding time and they saw him prepping the clip, they would get all excited...it was really cool

Instead of a ratchet strap, you could use a " one hole conduit strap" on each corner to secure the saw down. Pick the size that will allow you to use a small pad of leather or a piece of old bandsaw tire between the clamp and saw frame to protect the saw finish
