I have herd about that rapid led i should probally look into that a little more. im just worried about spending 300 to 400 dollars and then putting some thing together wrong lol.

I have been looking into alot of lighting options for my tank which is a 46g bow front and every thing seems to be pointing to led's being the the "new wave" in aquarium lighting for many reasons. Energy efficency being the biggest reason that i can see and thats the big reason i will go with...

My tank paramaters are SG-1.025 PH-8.2 Ammonia-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-40 to 60ppm temp-76 -77 I just added some cheto to my refugeum so that should help me out with the nitrates its a 46 glallon bowfront with a...

Hello i have two clown fish that i purchased about three weeks ago and when i first got them they both seemed to be eating well was feeding them twice a day and the only thing i could get them to eat was bring shrimp. but about a week ago one of the clows started losing alot of color he was...

The fastest way to get more rock in your tank would be to drive to that LFS and pick some up and bring it home. Before i drove all the way there tho i would first call them and make sure they have some pre-cured live rock so that way you can put it directly into your tank or you could order it...

will coraline algae grow in a tank naturally with out putting in live rock that has some already growing on it?

i probally would have rather gone with using live sand and live rock because its alot faster way to cycle a tank but im on a little bit of a budget so i just figured i could add a peice and then just give the tank plenty on time to build bacteria and slowely add live stock to the tank so i dont...

hello i have just started my first salt water aquarium i am currently cycling with no live sand and no live rock. i am using using some cocktail shrimp to intriduce amonia to my tank to start my cycle so im doing a fish less cycle im on about day 5 or 6 rite now. but my question is should i get...

you know your a fish keeper when you get to work at 10 today and have spent till lets see its aobut 5 right now looking at fish forums and fish videos on you tube

yea i have tested every thing and its about as flood proof as any other pvc overflow system. i like your idea about using a power head with a small air line attached to it and then running that into the hob part of the overflow. you are meaning the power heads that specifically have an air line...

so i made my over flow about a month ago and most people when making a pvc over flow put a little peice of air line tubing with a check valve and an aqua lifter on the top of the pvc to prime the system i figured i could make it work by just submergeing the whole main part of the over flow and...

thanks i figured at least 24 hours for it to cure but i wasnt sure if i needed to wait longer for some chemicals to evaporate or some thing like that. Just didnt want to mess any thing up you know

Trying to find out how long i should wait to put my painted pvc bakc in my aquarium. i used some krylon fusion and it applies very well to the pvc and looks nice but im just not sure how long to wait before i put it back in my aquarium?? 24hrs?? 2 weeks??

i would say you would be fine with using that power head im using a submersable pump rated at 500 gph on my sump and my return flow is still pretty good and it takes the water straight up about 3 or 4 feet. not sure how many gph i or you will lose by pumping that water uphill but there are ways...

just wondering if any one knows the best way to put together some pvc to use in an aquarium im not sure if pvc cement is toxic to fish or if i need to buy a certian thing to glue thoes pipes together?

i was thinking about useing a canister filter on my new aquarium set up im planning but insted im right now working on a 10 gallon sump for my 46 gallon cichlid tank and hopefully it will work good and then i will be able to have some algae in my sump for my salt water tank so i will be able to...
