    Are Peppermint shrimp shy?

    Yes they are. Try a red lensed flashlight at night for best chance of seeing them. Eventually you will find where they like to hang out, so finding them is easy then.

    Where to get fans for new hood ?

    For a simple circuit / thiristor such as the icecaps use, they sure soak the heck out of your wallet.....The fans in all reality are not any better than most offered for a fraction of the cost, and the electronic circuits is dirt cheap to buy......Truthfully all four are not worth what one pays...

    29 gallon Biocube

    No, there is a hinged door affair at the front that you lif tup to feed and take water samples etc.....But if you need to hinge up the entire top, thats not gonna work as there is no hinges, so you just lift it up and off totally.....There has been some issues with the hinged feed / access door...

    29 gallon Biocube

    Biggest problem and its not really a problem as much as a complaint, is that the hood is not hinged, and the front access door can be a real &*()^% to open some times..... Water level fluctuation can be a problem if you deviate from standard setup, but it can easily be rectified.

    anyone know about nano Fire Rumors?

    I have read a lot on these nano sized tanks on various forums and have not ever seen or heard of any of them catching fire. There are various problems associated with various brands and it seems each brand offered has its own brand of poison associated with it, but none are fire related... The...

    mag drive housing split open - contaminated tank

    Before I cut it apart I would give a call to Danner the manuf. of the MAG drive pump, and talk to them. They are pretty darn good at helping with tings. I have had them replace a pump for me already that was out of warranty period, and another time they told me they actually had a recall on a...

    mag drive housing split open - contaminated tank

    There is nothing in a MAG drive pump to leak out. Its a dry epoxi filled pump, not oil filled like others are.....About all y9ou may smell is burnt electrical crap, or smoked epoxie, all of which would be removed with a water change. I can't see how it could have made your nitrite or trate go...

    DIY HOOD with PC Retro - Sorta???

    No its not a safety concern if the thing is properly wired up....and in a suitable housing / hood. Try to keep your ballasts mounted out from under the hood if possible. Some components may present a challenge to mount as some may be molded into a hood or reflector etc, and not have a readily...

    Bubble diffuser box---skimmer

    Pitch the box and buy a foam filter sleeve for a maxijet PH or a Mag drive 5 pump.......or use the two color filter media bat made bt marineland, that is white on one side and blue onthe other. It is more dense so it retains more bubbles that may escape, than the coral life white media does...

    odyssea bulbs. What type are they, model?

    Why would he/she want to patronize Aqua Traders as their brand of light is the crappy Oddysea brands so the bulbs would be the same crap that came in the light to begin with. Just look on your bulb and get its wattage. It should be imprinted on the bulb near the base end......There ia all...

    Before I pull the plug on my skimmer...

    I would have thought first one would have to have what is actually classed as a good skimmer before one could pull the plug on the skimmer. CPRs are like a lot of other over priced skimmers..ya sure do not get what ya pay for.
