I was feeding raw, but when I got up to four dogs it became too expensive AND time consuming so I gave it up. They loved it, though! I was uber obsessed that they weren't getting the right mix of nutrients so I was always fretting about that. It's better for me to not feed raw because of that LOL.
Canidae is a very good kibble. I can tell you loce your puppers!

Actually, they don't need hardly ANY starch or wheat in their diet. They're supposed by get very, very little; equal to about what the partially digested stomach contents of what a kill would have in its stomach.

But, it's very expensive to do it all! And, I hear you about you being the one to eat the kibble then.... not worth it, I don't think you'd like the kibble one bit! LOL

Re: My slow 135g build

Kibble might not be too bad if you pour skimmate over it.

Re: My slow 135g build

the bulkheads arrived yesterday, i had to trim one bulkhead(the inside lip & the washer bolt) so both would fit. i used a jigsaw with the blade backwards. the trimmed one seems to still cover the hole well.

Re: My slow 135g build

I would imagine that that should work spendidly! The only thing is, do you have enough room to screw on both nuts on the outside of the tank?

(geez, that just doesn't sound good, does it...)
