Ugh man, sorry Mike. I wouldve never thought about that happening.
 
How accurate do you guys think it would be if I used a liquid API ammonia test for freshwater to check my pico? I have one of those ammonia alerts coming tomorrow but I am wondering if it's high even though I did the total water change.

I didnt either. Very bad luck.. been there a couple months with no issues. I think he used to go in there, but has since grown, so this time, got stuck.
 
How do yall feel about powerstrips in the cabinet? I did it on my 120, but thats really because I didnt have much of a choice. But wondering if I should try and keep them out of the biocube stand?

PetCo also sells a few accessories. My pump stopped after about a year and I had put in a small Sicce and was much quieter than the stock one was.

If you are talking about lights so you can see I just bought and mounted the lights you touch to have them come on and off.

I was more or less wondering if i should mount my surge protector on command strips on the wall beside my tank, or inside the stand away from little fingers. Beside on the wall will still be behind the couch, so inaccessible unless he weasles his way behind it

I dont even have a heater on it and its at 80f just from the light 😳 glad falls coming. Go to about 77 inside the house today. (This time of year, ac is out and we have window fans as it gets cold at night) next summer will probably facilitate me finally putting in a heat pump lol
