    Powerhead?

    I am currently running an aqua clear 802 powerhead on my 55gal FOWLR. It is starting to make a little noise. I began to look for a new pump and am full of questions. The stated rating on the aqua clear pump is 400gal/hr. I have heard a lot of good things about the maxi-jet but have not been...

    CPR bakpak?

    Dindi, I am looking for another filtration type because I can not get my Nitrates down :mad: . I aquired the tank from neighbor about 7 months ago. He had the great idea of placing the LR on top of the UGF so I can't vacume the CC over the UGF. I had no idea what I was doing when I first...

    Ot Gasoline Prrce!! Read !!

    How right you are Ty_05_f. I have tried to stay out this but you have hit the nail right on the head. In one vast swoop Chevron has lost hundreds of millions of dollars invested in Venezuela. All of that money is now gone and now that loss is being passed on to the consumer. If you think...

    CPR bakpak?

    I have been looking at many different filtration options for my 55 gal FOWLR. I curently am running a Penguin bio-wheel and 1/2 tank UGF. I have seen a lot of positive feedback from the CPR bakpak 2. I was wondering if this would provide enough filtration for my tank? I would like to take...

    power compacts

    Thank you guy's. Are the 2x55 enough light for a FOWLR tank or should I go with the 2x96. I am worried about the coverage of the 2x96. The rep I talked to from ah supply said there might be noticeable dark spots at the two ends of the tank.

    Black & White Heniochus

    I was at the LFS today and I saw a couple of Black & White Heniochus. I thought that they looked great. The guy working there said that they were a lot easier to keep than other butterfly's. I just would like to get a second opinion before I get my hopes up.

    power compacts

    I have done a search and have not turned up much. Does anyone have experience with ahsupply and their power compact lights? Good, bad, or other? I have been looking at their 2x55 bright kit for my 55gal FOWLR. Also Is this enough light for now? I was thinking that I could add another...

    Wet dry filters

    Thank you, twicklund I will look for some plans. I have a lot of confidence when it comes to working with wood. I am a little worried when it comes to working with acrylic. I don't want to come home to all the water on my floor and not in my tank.

    Wet dry filters

    I am looking to buy a wet dry filter for my 55 gal. FOWLR. The guy at the LFS recomended the CPR, but offered no explination why. I was wondering if any of the filters were better than others or are they all the same. I do not have a drilled tank so the overflow will make a difference...

    55gal Filtration

    Thank you guys! That answered my question I guess the questions now is. “Are some wet dry filters better than others?” The guy at the LFS pushed the CPR system. Is this mainly due to the self priming overflow box? Or are there other features that make it a better system?

    Worm id

    Thank you for this thread. I have been trying to ID those worms for a few days now. I have just had a population explosion of bristle worms. In the past two weeks it there population went from a few to a few hundred. They seem to be every piece of LR now. Is this many a good thing?
