Bouncer at a night club turned me on to super glue for cuts after he opened a gash above my eye some year's ago. I carry a tube of it in my tackle box for accidental cuts while cleaning fish I catch.

Paper towel folded into fourths to clean glass was always part of weekly maint/water changes. I messed up some glass with the magnetic Cleaners. If you hit the glass each week ,the more aggressive measures aren't needed as much.

Heater can be placed on it's side near the substrate and behind wood,rock's,or plants and can be sort of hidden in this way. Does not need to be vertical .

Pffft!

Is a small tub,get it up off the ground and syphoning and canister will work. All one has to do is empty it,set it on some kind of stand,refill it. This does not seem to me to be much of an issue at all unless one chooses to make it so. Cannot speak to your area,but in my area ,such a tub on the...

Yes,I think a smaller powerhead (less flow) would be consideration in smaller container's.

Powerhead mounted to sponge filter might work fairly well for some water movement plus biological/mechanical filtration.

Could place a powerhead on sponge filter lift tube.= water movement and mechanical + biological filter medium. I have done as much with Aquaclear 70 powerhead (old 802), on lift tube of Hydro V sponge filter's in tanks where fishes appreciated a little extra water movement. Not sure I would...

Can't imagine Henry lasting long with cat scratching pole? in background of first photo. At least not on something as easily accessible as coffee table.

In a word, Aquaclear.

How bout raft or suction cup held container such as those used in riparium application? Don't know though how much of an opening you might need for the plant (s)

I once saw such a DIY chiller made from old portable fridge. Extensive coiling(see meter's) of tubing ( plastic) inside the fridge, gave longer dwell time for cooling of water passing through the coiled tubing.

Foam pad for under the tank,or carpet under the filter(s) is all I do. Eheim 2217's I use are near dead silent and can't hear em even after opening the cabinet.(run two on U.S.80 gal) Gotta look to plant movement,or place hand on the canister to tell if they're running. Might look to automotive...

I just stuck some moss to a piece of wood in shrimp tank with super glue. I just patted dry the piece of wood which came from the tank,added a few drops of the glue,and then stuck the moss to the glue. I left the wood out of water for maybe five minutes and then placed the piece with moss...

A clean paper towel folded into fourth's.

Yep,they offer 400watt heaters.

Have a 400watt and 300watt HYDOR THEO heaters that have been running for five years. When I bought them the ad said.."lifetime warranty".I notice they don't offer this warranty any longer.

Weed eater twine attached to small flexible brush with electrician's tape work's for me while cleaning intake /output pipes on my eheim classic's. Is very redneck, but flexible enough for glass as well.

I cannot say,I have never used it other than on newly aquired used tank's before setting them up.

Well,I think you could find Cerium oxide with help from google.(possibly Jeweler in your area). I clean glass inside and out each week,along with glass top's with paper towel folded into fourth's. If you are persistent,then not much to clean really. Was the algae magnet's that were causes for...

Would mark the glass on outside so as not to lose sight of where the scratch is. Apply the cerium oxide to the scratch with sponge or pad, and then use buffing pad on power drill or buffer to go with the grain of the scratch. Then take warm water on sponge to remove excess cerium oxide and see...

Warm water and vinegar work's pretty well. Cerium oxide for scratches.

Maybe just heat the stored water a day before you need it for change's? Might look to apparatus that keep's out door water bowl's for pet's/livestock ,from freezing. Small pump, and length of hose could transport the water from storage bin to tub,bucket,or inside.

No getting around cleaning of filter's/media in my view.

Would note that cleaning the impeller assembly ,might should be,cleaned over counter top rather than sink. Koralia's I use have tiny rubber washer in the impeller well,and these can fall out and down the sink. Can go to hardware store and prolly find replacement,,but can save from the hassel by...

What ever works for you, I use clean paper towels folded into fourths . :thumbup:
