    Nanocube, Aquapod, whats the diff!? help

    I have never heard of any of the mini bows leaking. I have a 2.5 and a 5 gal min bow that we pickedup at yard sales and gutted the screwin flourescent light and installed a Deco Art 13 watt Power compact light assembly in its place. There is sufficient room to install a 1.5" muffin fan in the...

    Saddam Hussein Hung!

    Well I am sorry for the spelling, but you can still get the gist of what my statements are. I am retired military, and lost a son in Iraq, and yet I still say we should nbever have been there in the firstplace on the whim of one president and a few of his suporters. I am a republican and voted...

    Saddam Hussein Hung!

    I think he deserved to die thats for sure, but then again look at how he was removed form office to begin with, and think about it. He has not done anyhting else that a lot of dictators in a lot of other ocuntries did not do. Look at africas various countries.its still going on, it goes on in...

    Yellow Watchman died fast

    I think 3 hours of drip acclimation is a much bit overkill and probbaly stresses a fish more than it does good. 45-60 minutes is more than sufficideint for most fish and other critters. YWG are primarily bottom dwellers, but its not unusal for them to scoot up to the top either looking for...

    RO/DI water

    Drinking the RO is fine, but not a good idea to drink RODI. If you look at a RODI unit that is setup with a pressureized storage tank and typical dispensing type of faucet, you will find its off the ro portion of the tank that water is obtained. We do use rodi water to make coffee in coffee...

I had twolike that already, as its like someone wired them...

    Nanocube, Aquapod, whats the diff!? help

    Sure install a fan in the hood or get a clip on fan to blow over the tank. There is room in the hood on those "mini-Bow tanks which I previously forgot the names of, but a fan can be installed in those hoods as well and its more than capable of keeping the tank cool........that is as long as the...

    air inlet silencer missing on super skimmer 65

    Just take a empty aspirin or other plastic bottle with a flexible lid and poke two holes i it. Feed one end of tube into the one hole and see what happens. The air silencer is just a tube with a cap on one end and theother end has twonipples one of which the air ine attaches to and the other is...

    What's the best food for mushroom polyps?

    The DT products as well as the other fine particulate feeds do more at messing up the water than they do at furnishing shrooms and lots of other corals any nourishment. Just spot feed the shrooms with pelleted fish food or a meaty piece of shrimp or silversides etc. As stated earlier all will...

    Nanocube, Aquapod, whats the diff!? help

    A hood is a piece of cake to make. Here is yet another idea yu may want to consider. That tank you posted a pic of is similar to Red Sea's wave tank and Garden Art (***** house brand) of small pico tanks. I have seen the ***** tanks on sale periodically for $6.11 for the 1.8 gal curved front...

    And not to sound like a broken record, but yu need to feed or apply the food from the tube side of the crwon, as thats the side of ther crown that mainly gathers particulate food. If you look at a FD thats been there and fed, yu wil see it expell waste out the open end....All I do is allow...

    Any experienced users of miter saws?

    I have yet to see a contractor bolt one down when in use, and it seems most every pickup truck around this part of the woods has a miter box in the back of it. You always see them setting on a pair of saw horses etc on construction sites. I would think a simple C-clamp would be more than...
