I saw a heavy duty rack with shelves from metal grate (would put coated plywood over those) that's rated for 300kg/660lb per shelf. The bigest I would put on there is a 120L/32gal which should come in somewhere around 200-230kg/440-500lb. So by the manufacturer this should be fine but I don't want to run any risks if the experience off people on here says that those racks don't carry the weight the manufacturerer claims.

I already have a big aquarium (1.5m/5feet long with a volume off 450L/120gal) with 8 rio nanay angelfish who have been pretty chill. I always planned on adding more down the line but now am in a situation where I can get captive bred altum angelfish. So now I am conflicted about keeping it species only or get 2-4 altums. My main concern is the altums being too big (some say 200L/55gal is fine while others say atleast 600L/150gal).

I got a piece off driftwood from a LFS and have been soaking it since August. At this point I have even drilled in holes in the base (the only part that's thicker than a 2cm/1inch) but once I remove the stone holding it down the driftwood still shoots up and it doesn't seem like it lost any buoyancy over the months.

While it's on the bigger side it's not a verry solid piece so I don't get why it isn't sinking, never had a piece off simular or bigger size take this long. The shape is verry awkward so I can't boil it or have it in the aquarium with something weighing it down. Even in the garbage can that I am soaking the piece in it has multiple times managed to get out from a heavy rock eve

When I went to feed my fish I notice that 2 gastromyzon (unknown species) where behaving rather odd. I am not sure if it's breeding or aggression. At times they are also lining up their sides and it seems like the darker one is trying to get underneath the spotted one.
