    Lets Talk food

    Well, I only wanted them filled up about 1/4 of the way but someone else filled them while I was watching my new tank mates. they ended up getting filled up at least half way, so I will have to cut them into at least 1/4's or so. Yep Swiftler, they are the tiny plastic shot glasses I got them...

    Lets Talk food

    Well, I made some food this weekend following MR. X's recipe. I feed a small sample of it and everyone seemed to love it. Now I just have to run out of my pellets (about 1/8-1/4 of a can) and then the good stuff. I put it in the small plastic shoot glasses and froze it that way. Now I just have...

    Mp10 help

    The MP10WES is the same as the MP10ES, except that it is wireless and lets you sync 2 Ecotech's together. you can upgrade the MP10ES with a wireless box to make it sync to another if you want. I guess it all depends on what you plan on doing with it. I hope this helps.

    DIY or buy an auto top off valve?

    well I just got a smaller pump in yesterday, its an Aquarium Systems Mini-Jet 606. It's smaller then the one I am currently using but has adjustable flow, so I can fine tune it a little bit. Rather then the current one just dumping the fw in.

    DIY or buy an auto top off valve?

    well I got my JBJ ATO in the mail yesterday. I plugged it into my pump that's in a 5 gal bucket under my tank. Tested it to make sure the water level is where I want it and looks good. now a week or so to test it out. I plan on getting a bigger pump and hook it up in the basement for a bigger...

    RO/DI in basement pumping up to first floor

    I am looking at getting a RO/DI and put it in my basement right next to my drain. I was planning on taking the water across the basement to a storage tank for my JBJ ATO. That way I can keep all the extra containers out of sight in my dinning room. I am looking for suggestions for a good RO/DI...

    filter sucking up air from the air stone

    I just spoke with him about it, its a 48" air stone and is just for looks. he got bored with his background and covered it with the bubbles. he is going to try a coarse sponge or piece of filter.

    filter sucking up air from the air stone

    Does anyone have a tip or trick to avoid this problem? my friend has a 55 gallon tank set up and doesn't want to tear his tank apart to move the air stone. I know he is using a Rena XP4 and a really long air stone. We were thinking of try a piece of nylon stocking or something like that over the...

    Protein Skimmer Broken

    If its a Deltec MCE 300 I had a similar issue. My needle impeller cracked and when I call or email them they won't get back to me. So I just bought a standard impeller and it is working pretty good.

    DIY or buy an auto top off valve?

    Well guys and gals, the title pretty much says it all, I am looking to get an auto top off valve with a pump. My tank is up pretty high and I don't have a good spot to drill thru the wall, so I can't see using a gravity feed valve. I don't have a sump or I could put a Gravity in there, so I was...
