Thats not an air fitting [hr] on thr eoutlet tube. Its a bleeder [hr] to help eliminate air inthe system and reduce micro bubbles. Do not attach anyhting to the outflow [hr] . Its not a venturi either if yu look at it close its merely a baffle type deal to keep water fro pushing up...

Black or Black..either one is the best choice IMHO. I did see a tank which had its back panel painted with a sponge in a variety of colors, ranigng from blues to purples to black to gray and even some greens and it sort of resembled a huge piece of live rock for the back ground especially with...

Mygatt.No pics yet camera is screwed up but there will be some coming. I like your depth. Here its not possible to go that deep or actually any deeper than about 6 feet unless you provide aeration as the water becomces too stratified and oxygen levels below 6 feet is pretty darn low. I pull...

Thats what I did. Even the battery does not hold the settings as claimed by instructions. The first time mine lost the settings, I assumed it was because the bat may have been old and no telling how long it was in the store, so I replaced battery, and it made no diference. It just gets old going...

You can stick most corals on any degree of slope even a vertical plane. They will / can re-orinetate themselves if necessary. Corals like shrooms do not have a problem with any angles or such.

Great personalites, eat anything, can be a real PITA to some fish when it wants to be, but overall its a real crazy actor. Mine follows me from one side of the tank to the other, and just sets there watching. He is forever cleaing out any nook and crany or hole he can make into a home and its...

Why would anyone want such a problematic item like a sea swirl? I had 3 1/2" ones already that did not last long at all and were always sticking or breaking....I can also point you to a post (on another forum) about them and how problematic they are

Go to base ops and put it on the next flight to MAXWELL AFB, AL and I'll pick it up there. Heck we often used to get the base ops personel in the New England states pick us up a crate of live maine lobsters and throw em on the aircraft headed to our base. Nothing like having an F-16 or such...

I tend to view the mud as a advertising ploy. I know mangrove swamps etc contain mud and lots of diverse things, but this is a closed system, and virtually everyhting we keep comes from the oceans and seas away from mud, and does very well in sand substrate. Nothing wrong with sand IMHO....and...

I keep a heater in all of my pico tanks and nano tanks in the hob filters so its not visible in the DT portion an dthey work just fine.

I certainly would not use waste rodi water for water changes. Its a highly concentrated collection of all things that has been removed, so in stead of having a ppm of say 10 of a certain element doping water changes with rodi waste is goping to add up those concentrations to 20 and then 30...

I just do not understand why this fish is as $$$$ as it is. Its from what I hear easy to breed, and virtually most all thats up for sale is all tank bred. In this region other fish are dirt cheap but these little fellas routinely sell for $20-to 30 each and they are only 1/2 to 3/4" long at...

Its not gonna serve any purpose to leave it in the tank, so I always take any abandoned tubes out. In due time though they will rot away, but if it adds to a biio load or not I could not say.

I just finbished a 3.5 acre 12 foot dep pond here and on Wednesday had 700 koi of 8 to 10 inches stocked in it. I did not figure out the gallons on it yet. Our other pond is 2.5 acres and its connected to a 1 acre pond. The one acre was our original pond and goes down to 21 feet in depth. Its...

As long as your just getting into the cycle its not a problem to move and rearrange your rock. Once tank is cycled and inhabitants are added, its best to leave rock alone as it risks creating a crash by disrupting detrius and junk which re initiates a potential for another cycle. Your smart for...

Yea, its used to reduce flow of water down since when its new its not really making a lot of bubbles, and can possibly make it leak at the adjustment knob. The thing is it was intended for use with the "old" style skimmer body which were notorious for leaking around the red adjustment knob. On...

Some folks use it to flush the toilets, others use it for the wash, others water plants, etc etc. We just dump it in the drain. Guess it all depends on a personas views on water sources, costs, waste disposal etc.....Here water is abundant, and dirt cheap.

Theoretically it should be fine for a long time as long as the storage containers were cleanand no organics are n it. I used to store it aerated now I do not and have not noticed any difference as to when I aerated it. Same for my stored locally collected saltwater. I used to store it with...

They are perfectly fine to let in the tank and will not hurt anyhting. They do get to large numbers in time as they seem to propagate pretty quick, but are eay to pick out of tank. I just thinned out the asterina's in our one tank a few weeks ago and removed over 200 of the things........over a...

I would syphon out as many of thr flatworms as you can with a turkey baster. Use a brine shrimp net to squirt the water / worms in the turkey baster to filterout the worms and return water to tank unless you have makeup water on hand, and then treat with Salifert Flatworm Exit. Follow directions...
