I have an ATO system on my 130. Well, this morning I woke up,opened one of the doors on the stand so I can flip the sump light on...and notice the 40 gallon sump is ALMOST overflowing...literally 1/2 inch from going over... quick diagnosis,only culprit can be the ATO. Luckilly I have redundency...

most of you "oldtimers" are aware that I use NSW (ocean water) in my aquariums. I have been since day 1. I recently got a new video camera and have actually figured out how to use it and post videos. I decided to make a video of the collection process and post it here for anybody that is...

I was doing my water change today..I decided to check my 44 gallons of RO/DI I use for top off water. I was getting a reading of 003,so I figure,well I better order some new filters. Then just for s4its and giggles,I turned on the RO/Di unit and let some water run into a clean glass...reading...

My daughters aqua pod needs an upgrade...I have searched and searched for modifications and have came across many...,however most were posted a while ago and all the pictures have expired.(its easier for me to follow,if I see pics). Anyway, I am interested in the mj900 or mj1200 mod,(I think...

Im not really sure why,but the small amount of algae that I get in my 130 gallon really likes the pvc/plastic things in the aquarium, i.e..powerheads,my overflow etc.. Same in my Daughters 30 nano. I get bubble algae on the powerheads and back wall. Very rarely anyplace else. Just was wondering...

I have a Octopus recirc needlewheel 200 purchaced in July 2007. I think its time to replace the pump and NW. Does anybody know what Sicce pump will fit,or do I need to use the original OTP pump like the one that came with it? Also I see they are selling a "flexible" NW impeller....is it worth...
