Thanks for the compliment about my IQ :P. I'm a mechanical engineer by training(graduate next year) who moonlights with chemistry stuff(being volunteered by the old man as an assistant to help him with his senior projects for his degree). The thing is, is that the fish and wildlife behaved...

I'm probably going to be crucified for this hair brained idea, but here it goes. My old man, is a waste water treatment chemist. So he basically runs a "Giant" acquarium of "bacteria". He has to keep the critters properly fed, the Ph balance correct, and of course the temperature. I was...

Yeah, we need to recirculate the water with pump. As far as heaters go, what brand would you recommend for this task? I'm thinking to be safe we need something that's a bit overkill for a typical 15 gallon tank, since it has to keep the 78 degree temp for over an hour(all while outside where it...

Hi, this might seem fairly trivial to you guys, but hear me out. I'm a member of a student Mechanical Engineering group for my Thermodynamics course, and we are tasked with designing a heating system for a 15 gallon tank. The heater is required to keep the tank at 78 degrees +-1degree, and the...
