Go with teflon pipe paste (drinking water approved as SCSI stated) Teflon tape usually compounds problems with leaks, as the housings onthe pumps are thin and easy to spread open or crack with tapered pipe fittings, and the teflon tape reduces friction during tightening, so its really easy to...

Well if yu already have the makings of a setup I do not see what you will gain other than design looks, I wold still personally go with individual components as such before being influenced with a hodge podge of stuff from one company without a real means to change things if necessary. The...

I would be one that woul djust have to forego a new tank and give fixing that tank a go.......I have repaired quite a few over the eyars and only a bit over a year or so ago latched on to a 210 gal with a broken side, which I repaired and its currently in use. Short of being told it was broken...

Its algae thats giving it that green color. No big deal use a chlorox solution of 10 parts water 1 part chlorox and wash / soak the sand n that, then rinse well. 100 pound of aragonite sand is not cheap dead or alive so why waste it. After 24-48 hours once its been rinsed out with fresh tap...

Silicone is best. Go to any big box builder supply and get a tube of GE silicone II.....

NAno Cube is product made by JBJ and Aqua Pod is same basic item made by Current USA, Bio Cube is stil same like item made by Oceanic. Its really 6 of one half a dozen of the other when it comes to who is better. All are more than capable of keeping shrimp fish and a good selection of corals...

The whole thing in a nutshell: Silica based sand is perfectly safe to use in a a marine tank It does not spawn an algae bloom Silicates and silica are two different animals Pretty well impossible to find "silica" based sands that have a smooth surface as the nature of the beast ius for it to...

Why not start a local critters tank. They are quite interesting. For years we used to keep a tank that contained only stuff we would find locally in the GofM or the bays. Come fall we would turn it all loose clean the tank up and come spring do it all over again. Our grand kids learned a lot...

Unless you have a few hours of time to fool with and the ability to replace that panel I wuld be inclined to say you better look for a new tank. It can be fixed if you have the ability and time.

First off they should have known better to just dump the fish in that tank, and if yu new it was wrong and new what the temps were you shoul dhave stopped them......You say you added sand. Was it live sand or what?DId it initiate a cycle which offset what was actually good parameters, and it...

Not really unless its sucked out for some reason or other. It shoud be good for duration. Over time however its not uncommon to loose some sand with sand that gets picked up by the filter and nets etc etc, so perhaps down the road yu may find a need to add some back, but it would take a long...

Sand willl eventually settle out and the water will clear. It may take a couple of days but it wil clear up, Just make sure yur power heads etc are not pointed directly at the sand bed keeping it stirred up.

You really need to decrease it to a max of 1.026

I could have sworn I already rellied to this same exact question a couple of minutes ago...

I have been rinsiin gmy chaeto off in reg tap water for years. I keep it in a a variety of fuges and containers and often times it gets loaded up with particulate matter, so I just rinse it all off under the tap, shake it a bit and pitch it back in the fuges or tanks etc. Chaeto is pretty darn...

Yes, PC and CF are one and the wsame. One is a term coined by a major lighting company when they were first introduced, but compact flor and power compacts are one and the same. Yes that light is fine for a 20 gal as long as your commtted to shrooms, zoos and leathers, etc they will do just...

Save you r money for something worth while. Ensure yur tanks temp, lighting and cal and alk, SG and ph are where they should be and coraline will grow just fine without adding purple up. I tend to run all my tanks on the max end of ALK and CAL, my temps at 82-84, and ph 8.2-8.4 with 10K or...

Adding a critter to get rid of a problem is not the ideal fix. Yu really need to find out andcorrect why you have algae. Its easy to do and easy to figur eout as its fairly limited. Lights and nutrition . Are yur lights on too long, or in need of replacing bulbs? Are yu over feeding? Are you...

Depending on modelyou have, it may have a small knurled knob or yu may need a small screwdriver to adjust. After placing drop of RO or RODI water on window, andlowering the hinged plastic cover, make sure there is not any bubbles in the water yu have trapped. If it shows bubbles add more rodi...

It all comes down to watts. Makes no difference if apower head is made by company X or compnay Y if they are both 40 watts they will put off the same amount of heat......its a given. Electrical power that is consumed will give off heat and consumption is rated in watts, and each watt gives of...
