Have you tried a different wall outlet? I find it kind of strange that ALL equipment is sending voltage into that tank. I can see one of the items but all items? Just don't seem right. It almost has to be the plug or the surge protector.

You can put a piece of fine filter floss in front of the carbon pad. I have done this time to time with a Phosphate pad for phosphate removal. You will see with these tanks you need a little mods sometimes. I'm running phosban filter bag in front of the carbon as we speak.

125 gallons = alot of time and money = one small generator. I had to do it living in the midwest and I feel alot better during storms. Plus my refrigerator and other things stay running. The only problem is the gas cost. Expensive to run for days at a time.

What size tank? It might be to small for a lawnmower. How old are the lights? I changed my lights and problem solved. My PC's only lasted 10 months.

What happens when you pull the black wire out of the ground plug in the strip? Have you tried grounding the black another way?

Very nice! Very healthy looking. Keep up the GREAT work!

As far as your PC's in that nano. Once mine hit 10 months, hair algea started. I pulled the algea out and replaced the bulbs. Problem solved. So I'd say 10 months.

I had the same problem. Increase you water level a little above Max. I don't even know why they put that max level on the side. I have a Sapphire skimmer in my second sump and the level has to be 2 inches above the Max mark. What I did was, once you have the level right with no bubbles, mark...

I think with the nature of where you are putting the tank, I would look at one of the all-in-one nano tanks. They make some really nice tanks with all the filteration built in. Also lots of lighting options now. Just my 2 cents.

I at one time wanted to do the same thing. What I opted to do was add an additional powerhead. Hydor 1 is what I'm using. Works great and stock return is left alone.

Take a look at the Saphire Aquatics skimmers. I have one on my 29 BioCube and it works wonders. They also make one for your tank.

It don't look like the zoo's are concerned. They are nice and opened up. I think I'd let them ride around awhile and see what happens.

One cool fish! I need one or two!

I use a 50/50 mix. Oceanic and Reef crystals. Has worked well for me.
