I am running an Eheim Wet/Dry canister filter (2229) and I was wondering how often I should open it up and clean it? Is it just a matter of flow rate dropage or is there other factors? Also, my main question is, what about the media, does that get cleaned? If so, how does that happen because I...

What are the down sides to a UV filter in a saltwater aquarium? I bought one a while back and was about to in-line it within the next week, should I not do this? Thanks!

I have always use the Kent Marine Tech-CB (2 part system), but I was curious if I should switch to Kalkwasser (which I have seen mentioned a lot on this forum) or straight liquid calcium? Just curious as to what seems to work the best.

I bought one a few months ago for my 110 High, it works as it should and I have not had any problems with it. HOWEVER, I am about to take mine out and hide it away in a box in the basement, lol. It is VERY noisy and tends to send a LOT of vibrations through the tank. I have inspected the...

I have used 'Instant Ocean' salt for a while and have been happy, then a friend gave me a 5g bucket of '*****' Salt, which after using a couple times I am not happy with. I recently picked up a 5g bucket of 'Oceanic' salt and that seems to be the best I have used so far. My question is, what is...

The tank is 48L x 18W x 30H. What would be the cheapest way to light the tank, but provide the light that is needed? Thank!

I recently set up my 110G high, replacement for my old 75G that is now in the basement. My question is, do I need to upgrade my lighting as well since it is deeper? Currently I have an Orbit 48" 4x65W for a total of 260W. Is this going to be 'ok' for the tank? I have a feeling the question I am...

I had a 75g, then moved and was set on getting the 90g, then realized I could get the 110g that has the same footprint or the other two! Of course I had to get the 110g, then have a builder come in and construct a custom wall in my entrance for it :) My tank is actually running parallel to the...

What is the best method or tool to remove bristleworms? I bought some live rock that I thought was clean (my fault) and now I have some unwanted visitors. From what I can tell they are Hawaiian Lined Fireworms, from photos I found on the net. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I was curious what I really need to be testing my water for. I always have done the basics: PH Nitrite Nitrate Ammonia Calcium Besides those what should I be testing for? I have never had any issues with my water, but i was just curious. Thanks!

I was wondering how much is too much with regards to GPH for my 110G X-High tank (48 x 18 x 30)? I am going to install an in-line pump to run my heater and UV Filter but I want to make sure the GPH are not too much for the tank or all the fun things living within. I was looking at getting a pump...

I have 2 questions..... 1) how long are the bulbs good for or how often do they need to be replaced? I was reading once a year, is that true? 2) I have a current-usa 48" 65wx4 for use with my 110g X-High, it was used with my 75g, but i recently upgraded tanks. Currently it has 2 65W Dual Actinic...

I was curious if anyone has used any of the Eheim Hobby Pumps before, or know of anyone that has, and the opinions about them? The reason for purchase is so I can run an in-line heater for my 110G X-HI. I am using the Eheim wet/dry filter, model 2229, and they say not to run any in-line products...
