WTB: Regulator w/ solenoid & reactor

If anyone has a spare one lying around, I'm interested too.

Thanks

This was my 20H tank less than a year ago, before my mom killed half the stuff.

Not sure if I missed something, but a spare what?

 

[jennfier]

Does anyone like ostracods. i got a lot in my shrimp tank. free. 1st come 1st served.

Nice looking tank Jenn but it could really use a background to make the plants "POP"

Unfortunately, I don't have any of the plants you want at the moment.

 

[jennfier]

sorry, spare regulator w/ solenoid. also interested in a reactor too.

Do you think a pink background would clash with the green ? what do people use ?

 

[MatPat]

I'll have to say no on the ostracods, I have quite a few in my shrimp tanks as it is, i was hoping I could pawn some of mine off on you

 

[jennfier]

perhaps your tub could use some.

I prefer black paint myself. The black really makes the plants "pop" but you could always get some of the blue/black background they sell at Jack's. It's a bit easier to change around than paint but a little harder to apply.

 

[jennfier]

btw, is painting the preferred way to do a background ? would some black plastic not stay put very well ? or just look bad ?

 

[MatPat]

Good point, I guess I could move them from my shrimp tanks to my tub...the Endlers would probably love them!

 

[MatPat]

If the tank is already set up, painting can be hard to do. The plastic stuff is what I was referring to at Jacks. It is blue on one side and black on the other. It can be hard to apply and I think a coating of mineral oil is recommend so you don't see air bubbles in the background.

A roller is my preferred method of paint tank backs.

 

[jennfier]

just oil and nothing else and it should stay put forever ? i could do that.

 

[jennfier]

thanks, matt. you're so helpful.

 

[MatPat]

I don't know about the forever part but the oil seems to help it stay on the tank better.

I really prefer painting the back.

 

[jennfier]

how many fish do you have in your tub ?

 

[jennfier]

is it in direct sunlight ? opcorn:

 

[jennfier]

what kind of plants do you have in it ?
