Question by : What paint to use for aquarium background?
I want to paint the outside of my tank to give a nice solid background but i’m a little unsure which paint to use.I don’t want to use spray paint. I want one that I can roller on. Do I go for water based emulsion or solvent based paint. Someone told me to use solvent based but I’m a bit weary because I know solvents give off a lot of fumes

Question by quirkylennings: Unsure about quality of rectanglular acrylic tank?
I believe the brand is “All Glass Aquariums”. It is rectangular in shape, and acrylic, it is made with flat panes and seems to be put together with some sort of hard glue in the corners. Because of this glue, I am unsure about the quality of this tank. To anyone who may have had (or does have) this type of tank, is it reliable? Are there any set backs to this type of tank? Thank you in advance.

Answer by nosoop4u246
I would NOT buy an acrylic tank with siliconed panes… One of the biggest appeals of an acrylic tank is the seamless corners. Also, silicone doesn’t bond well to acrylic like to does to glaze. I would crack, but do make sure it is an acrylic tank rather than glass… I don’t believe All GLASS makes acrylic tanks.Silicone in a glass aquarium: http://www.jonolavsakvarium.com/eng_diy/tankbuilding2006/th_glass02.jpgEDIT: I stand corrected. All Glass makes an acrylic kit, but it is very small (about 2.5 gallons). However, it is seamless, meaning it’s just one patched of acrylic bent into the sides, and a second for the bottom.

Question by : How do you save a dazed catfish after putting it in an aquarium with a strong filter?
5 gallon aquarium, 3w filter 240ml/m rate… i reduced the filter to a weaker one already but my catfish had been swimming with the strong current for about 8 hours… It’s not really moving but the gills are.. it just ate one of the feeders too so maybe that’s why.. I’m asking this because all the feeders in the tank are now dead… is my catfish gonna die too? what can i do to help it? thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by ♥Reesie♥Cup♥
well how many fish are in your tank? What type of catfish? a cory? a 5 gallon tank tin only hold so many fish… and if you have more than 5 fish that is why your other fish may be dying. the ammonia levels may be going crazy. the filter most likely has nothing to do with it, unless of course it needs to be changed. =Palso when did you add it? it could just be a little shocked. my oto did the same when i first added it and then it just kinda got over whatever spooked it. it is hard to tell really…anyway best luck with your fish.

I just got this new light for my 29 gallon aquarium (LED) and am hoping that it will save some money in the long run. It actually looks better than the fluorescent light i had before. I used my vado HD camera to take this vid.
