There were a lot of great aquarium care products on display at Aquashella in Orlando. However, there was only one that jumped out at me as something that I needed and could put to use immediately. Only one product that I purchased while at Aquashella. In this video I share this product with you along with a second aquarium care and maintenance item that I stumbled upon on-line. I think you're going to like this inexpensive and quite useful item.

Please feel free to share your thoughts, tips and experience below because we all learn from each other around here, so please share your experiences below.

Keeping fish is truly a fluid situation. What works for one fish keeper or one set-up might not work in another. Do your research gathering information from various sources before making any major changes or decisions about your tank.

Good pick up, and just in time, cause your boy is nuts..gotta love cichlids

I didn't get away from Aquashella that cheap. Love those lids. Will have to try

[HalfManHalfCichlid]

Interesting new products. I believe the separation panel would be better designed if there was more and larger opening for the fish to see each other and for water to flow. I would be concerned about having to place a filter on both sides of the tank because of inadequate flow between both sides. The algae scraper is something I might try, although I would be afraid to use it on acrylic. I have a few spare pieces of acrylic that I could experiment with however. Thanks for the new product reviews.

All great pointers. Especially about keeping separate tools for each tank. Great refresher. 😎

I was looking for those two same types of products and I will take your advice and trying to purchase a divider for my 90 gallon tank. By the way loved your video of Aquashella!

I have used a similar product (divider) and they are great, but I removed it because the holes were too small, same size you have. The powerhead only circulated the water from one side, it couldn't really properly circulate it with the divider.

Hey Ben I love your new intro very Motivational Ben I have a question how long can I store water for a water change in a 55 gal drum.

[dennisruedel]

Great job Ben! I really wish I could have made it this year. However, I’ve been there twice when I lived in Chicago. I look forward to to seeing you and your fish room soon. I’m only 1.5 hours away. Let’s hook up soon

Hi. What would be the best and simplest way to clean things between using them in an another tank? I have 3 tanks and they are all healthy and I have separate things for them, but let's say I have something I need to use in both tanks. Would rinsing in hot water help in case there's a potential problem?

Hey Ben! Do you know anything about placing a 125 gallon tank on the second floor? I live in a brand new lifted house where technically then first floor is the garage and the 2nd floor(where I live) is the above the garage. The entire perimeter of the house built from concrete. I had a 75 gallon tank and the floor was able to handle it no problem but I’m afraid if I go to a 125 the floor might be affected. The stand for the 125 I have is all wood where the tanks weight is dispersed evenly throughout the entire length. Thanks for the help!

Awesome fines! I just recently had to rehome five of my African cichlids. Three finally showed themselves to be female and two of them were out for blood. I wonder if I had had spacers if I could have salvaged the two males until I got the females out of the tank.🐠🦯

I don't know how you only bought one product...I wouldn't be able to stop myself, lol.

[tokpi]

Hi ben! one question? can i do 100% water change? after my tank has successfully cycled?..

[MileHiFreshwater]

Hey Ben, how big are the holes? Wondering if fry would be able to pass through?

[Cichlid__ever]

Love the products but the stress I go through with an abusive fish. I hated seeing dividers in a tank made me sad that I had to split a decoration in half because of mean fish. Sorry you still struggling with your eureka red my johanni is still beating of fish any which way he goes

[raymondbardeen]

Why does a "29" gallon only hold 25?
Why does a "37" only hold about 30?
