Yes there is such a thing, but it is hit or miss. That is I got one that is working like a clock, and two that do not work even after being exchanged by the manufacturer. They are imported from China and cost around 30 bucks. They can be found on e-bay, but today there were none listed. Do not...

If you have it please let me know where can I get a wiring diagram for the 12 Gallon Bio Cube DX. I want to rewire it in a way that ideally I'll be able to control separately two PC lights and lunar lights via timers.

I had this issue. This is what you should do: Check your temperature before the lights go on. Look if it is within desired range. About half day through your light cycle check your temperature again to see if the lights are really heating up your tank. - if no affect (which I doubt) - no action...

First, to answer your questions: 1. The tank was NEVER a FW tank (at least not under my ownership). 2. Fuge had some macro algae that decayed and its remains were removed 3. Fresh water needs to be added to keep salinity in check. Due to evaporation salinity goes up (salt does not evaporate...

Thank you all! So far after I had replaced the 2x fixture with a new 3x my java moss had exploded and the other plants are catching up. It could be due to the fact that the bulbs are new though, but I like the wider light spread over the tank and I think I'll keep the 3x. Oh for the record...

Day 1 So today is day 1 of the re-start! This morning I checked the ammonia and was surprised to fihd its low level at 0.25 given that I left the tank untouched for so long. Steps I made today: 1. I had immediately disconnected the Fluval filter 2. Rinsed the media in the filter body 3...

So here is the situation: The tank: 10 Gallon The light: Actinic (day) 65 Wt/ Lunar (night) / can install 10K but don't see the point yet. Fuge: HOB CPR AQ (I think 2 gallon) with original pump Live Rock: 12 Lb (not sure how live is it Live Sand: < 1" Might have some worms. Canister Filter...

Hi, I have a choice of installing a 3 tube lighting system with 20 Wt each or 2 tube lighting system with 30 Wt each. on a glass caonpy of my 45 Gallon planted tank. What do you think would be a better choice?

I suspected that the young might have end up being eaten. Then another dumb question. How do you know when your goodidae is pregnant and ready to give off?

I was told that hermit crabs won't eat them. If you can see them clearly, get a syringe and start shooting lemon juice concentrate into their stems (said to be harmless to the tank). I would advise hosting the rocks in a separate container until the infestation is gone. I had nudibranches - but...

Hi I have Ameca Splendons - a couple of fishes. I know they are livebearers, but not sure if they require any special conditions to start spawing / breeding. They are together with smaller fish in a 45 G planted tank. There is an alternating light / air (when the light comes off the air turns...

Hi all, I'm sorry if you have already answered questions like this. The last thing I want to be is annoyance. So, here is the quick problem overview: 1. There was a ammonia spike due to improper filter re-set resulting in a kill off the most live in my 10 Gallon SW tank. 2. There was aiptasia's...

Yes, testing setup: 5 gallon tank on top of Kitchen counter (gas range hight) with intake below water surface and spray bar (tried all three, below above and partially submersed). End cap on spray bar is closed. Hoses have no kinks. Breather pipe above water level. Filter is on the floor.

Hi, I have Eheim Wet Dry Filter with three hoses. Out - to spray bar In - to Intake hook Breather - to a ball-valve Situation 1: Contineous flow. I fill the filter with water by sucking on the out hose. Once full and there are no air gaps I turn it on and it starts to work as conineous flow...

I have Java MOSS - just let me know how much you need (cups). I can ship or I can meet on Manhattan (GCT, Murray Hill areas). Please contact me via e-mail: gimincorp@optonline.net P.S. I'm not a fish store, just a hobbyst.
