Well Thank You very much as I dont hear that often, Thank You I appreciate it, Pete (from the bronx but moved to Pa.

I have one bujlb each on my setup. I found out that the reds do not show up well under acintic bulb

I know they are for salt water but does anyone use them for freshwater. I have all tetras of different kinds in my 75 and I like the look of this type of bulb but I dont want to bring any of the fish harm. Ni live plants in the tank. I had 50-50 sunlight bulbs in the fixture, The bulbs are...

Does the spray bar need to be above the water line? I know you get more aeration that way. I would also like to extend the bar to go across the entire water column. Has anyone extended their spray bar??

I have bought many of these in the past and all were a disappointment. I am looking to buy my last one but need some power to it. All the ones I have bought were diaphragm. I need some suggestions. I would like to put the pump under the floor and have it pump up so I dont hear the hum or buss...

I know there is a solution you can buy but does any home remedies work?? I would think bleach would destroy them but maybe a weak mix might work. I do clean all my plants with bleach and soak them for days after and then again and then let them air dry for a couple of days. I already leaned my...

OK will do, My perimeters are good right now but I get where you are coming from

How long to get the new canister filter seeded?? I have a old aqua clear running with it but dont know how long it takes to seed a new filter. The aquarium is 4 years old 75 gallon freshwater

I have been putting shrimp pellets on the bottom as I ran out of wafers, thanks for the input

yes I throw them down on the bottom but right now they seem to like these seedless cucumbers better. I just dont want them to strave. I had these before and they died on me, now my water is perfect and I want to try and prevent that

Planning on doing just that, thanks
