You can also look into an inline uv sterilizer. Since most of your beneficial bacteria are not in the water column and reside on the surfaces of your tanks filtration this will help control and eventually remove cyano since it populates by floating place to place.

Cutting off tines will screw up the ph. Just reposition the ph so that it isn't aimed at the tank floor. Aim it at the side of a rock or just up into the water column.

Typically your drain is 1" and your return is 3/4". :-)

Technically, once the macro has consumed the nitrates they are no longer free floating in the system and are essentially bound by the macro. I mean it is in your tank since the macro is in your tank but not considered in your test readings anymore.

Even better then store bought frozen is homemade! ;-) My fishies go CRAZY over it. Its a literal feeding frenzy every time food goes into the tank. My clowns crack me up. They sense the food moments before it even enters the tank. Its nuts.

I am all about the solid core, none glass, quote-unquote unbreakable ones after I had one crack on my in during an acclimation run with some fishies. Talk about scare me silly.

Isn't that the same as mighty mend it? (You dont know how much willpower it is taking me to resist various billy maes comments at the moment)

I would think that if you use the pond foam you would be good on two fronts. A) Because it is designed to be out in the actual elements (i.e. sunlight) and B) you would be covering it with sand, rock and rubble, essentially sheltering it from the majority of the lamp lights anyways. The spectrum...

Nah, its actually darkened some since the clown has started to host it. The first pic was in shade under some rocks. Right now the sabae is a pinkish color with blue tips. Here is a new pic this evening of it in the night lights just loving the crap out of its new bed. Sorry its so blurry but...

Do a search for Aqua Lifter Pump. They are like 16 bucks or so. Perfect for ato.

No problem. If you need any help with the pipework or the back flow let me know and I can always work it up and ship it to you.

Oooo, I just did! Thanks for the heads up.
