Any aquarists here?

I am looking for 5ft * 2 Ft * Ft aquarium for monster fishes. Can anyone share their thoughts on what should be the min. mm thickness of glass. (10mm or 12mm) .. I am thinking of 12 mm as want long lasting and extra safety but it is costly... please share your thoughts..

@terminater Did you use masking tape on the corners? You need bigger filters man. Nice curious looking fish. I hope you cycled the tank :)
I guess you are making/buying a stand for it now and this is a temp set up. If possible fill it up or else you may have some hard to remove white lines on this water level.

Using aeration methods like aquarium pumps producing lot of small bubbles, changing higher percentage of water, etc. can help.
In general, not required if your aquarium is cycled and well balanced.
 
I was confused by this product which i wanted for some other purpose.

It's real use is to remove algae from ponds that reduce oxygen levels.

If people have fish ponds instead of fish tanks then i guess it has some vaue.
 
Dosage is 1 spoon for 100 Gallons or so, contact based treatment.

Sodium Percarbonate equivalent dose 3% ?

Hi does anyone know how to calculate dose Sodium Percarbonate to a aquarium (100ltrs ). equivalent to 3% hydrogen peroxide , and if I wanted to do 1 litre baths how much Sodium Percarbonate would I use , " I know I should of just bought 3% hydrogen peroxide , and might still do...

Taking fishes and other creatures out and applying to plants may help probably.

Wondering that other purpose you want to use it for.

Generic cleaners same as brand names

Most people are familiar with the term "generic" when it comes to medications. We know that by law, for a medication to be labeled as "generic" for a name-branded prescription,

The active ingredient in OxiClean is a generic white powder substance called sodium percarbonate. Generic sodium percarbonate is better than OxiClean, because OxiClean is only half sodium percarbonate.

Do you ever have the need to increase oxygen levels in the water and if so what chemicals do you use ?

A good filtration system does this 24x7 without adding anything. Filters take care of DI (dissolved oxygen) in water. Best way to achieve it is by water surface agitation. Common air pumps don't really add DI but the bubbles reach the surface quickly and agitate surface which increases dissolved oxygen by increasing gaseous exchange.

These products are not really needed if filtration is bang on.
