You mean these...

How is that a good deal....I sell mine for $115 and they are 1.5" to 1.75" in size.

The most important thing about drilling glass is the 'Right Tool'. This 'puppy' drills everything down to a 5 gallon tank without issue. You just need a wax ring to keep the lube in place. As for the tripod drill, you can get it from Jehmco.

My group of 20 WC L46s started breeding within 2 months after I got them. My ROI for the group was 1.5 year. That said, I did breed other plecos like L260, L134, and more before I made the leap into purchasing the L46 group. They breed on a regular basis with a typical spawn size of 10 and as...

I run two linear piston pumps from Jehmco. Both are super quiet, just ask them for a recommendation. You don't want to use one that is way oversize. My large one also needs a small fan to help cool it as it gets very hot. Both are on 1" pvc. Jehmco also sells the air valves and threading...

Apart from my L46s and L260s, my other pleco frys are raised in pH around 8. And I am breeding a variety of fancy plecos (excluding all Ancistrus).

My fishroom floor is recessed 4" from the walkout basement level. This help to make sure the basement drywalls do not touch the fishroom floor. The only walls that comes down to the fishroom floor has metal studs like the commercial buildings. I also used the 'yellow board' (DensShield)...

This is the setup I use for drilling tanks. I have used it to drill glass as thin as those from 5 gal tank. Jehmco sells this one as well. I have yet to crack a tank.

And you will end up having like this....

L46 L66 L134 L183 L201 L260 L262 L333 porto de moz L340 CW009 A few BNs to clean tanks.

When the culture is in 'full bloom', I just run my finger along the inside edge of the culture. Just like the Colonel said....finger lickin' good.

Here is my L66 with its 'gold nuggets'.

How are you going to get those HOB filters out? They don't last forever.

That's going to be one massive spawn of 'fish food'.

You should see positive result like the fish starting to come off the bottom in a couple of days. If not, chances are it is too far gone.

Low temperature thermostatic mixing valve is commonly available online. Mine is Watts L1170-M2 and is rated from 60F to 120F. Make sure you buy the one with the 'L' in front. I accidently ordered one without the 'L' and had to return it. The one without 'L' is sold in HD/Lowes as well.

I hate seeing 'belly slider' (not the kind from the restaurant), sounds like a case of swim bladder infection. Most of the time it is caused by gram +ve bacteria. You can probably use any broad spectrum antibiotics to take care of it. Some people report positive results with Maracyn 1&2...

I use a low-temp mixing valve to get the temperature right. Is just like the mixing valve for your shower but it works on a lower temperature range. Since I have a tankless water heater, once you dial in the mixing valve setting, it mixes the hot and cold to the precise temperature. In my case...

U dont want to drink from the barrel for sure. It has all sorts of bacteria growing in there. It will most likely cause diarrhea if you dont boil it first.

My ABNs also spawned a few weeks back in a growout tank for EBRs. I moved the cave (with the male inside) to his own tank. Baby BNs are doing well for awhile now and I plan to move the male (with the cave) back to the original tank since it needs an algae cleaning. I typically get the babies...
