just wondering if puffers realease a "poison" when they die? I just lost a stars and stripes to a darn powerhead. Now my niger trigger and panther grouper are both breathing heavy and immobile. My water checks out fine. I was talking to another aquarist and he had a similar experience...any...

i was just wondering what the effective "lifespan" of carbon is. I am using the sheets that look like filter floss. Are there any negative side effects of not changing it frequently?? thanks, Greg

i am just about to add a 12'' spray bar to my return line. It is gonna get about 800gph. I am using 1/4'' PVC pipe. I am wondering how many holes to drill and what size they need to be. I want to get maximum output from my pump...thanks,Greg

thanks for all the ideas guys..i made one last try with a very thin putty knife before i went and bought the exacto and it worked great!!! Now on to the plumbing. Greg
