The Marineland 350s are good filters for mechanical filtering but they dont offer the different media storage options as the competition.

I love the Rena XPs for smaller tanks. They are easy to maintain and do a great job filtering.

My 180 Gallon discus tank has become too much maintenance and I want to down size but I'm not sure to what. After I sell the discus I will be left with tons of plants and driftwood and about 30 Cardinal tetras, 20 rummy nose tetras, 4 plecos and about 10 cory cats. I'm thinking they would go...

Well he's the only pleco in the tank so I dont think he would be showing signs of breeding. I want to transfer him in with the females just for that reason :fish2:

bump.... any ideas? can you see the pics?

x2 If you didn't acclimate them properly, you could have shocked and killed them.

I've had a single BN pleco in my 29g (76*F, 6.6ph, gh/kh 1) for a little over a year now and he has these white patches with white bumps in them randomly throughout his body. The bumps look like ich, but I dont believe they are because they stay confined to the white patches and none of the...

It healed up over the last two days. Looks like he ran into something hard haha :)

Very nice design! I would like to make a fixture similar to yours for my 180 gallon. I'm looking for low to medium light so i think I would space mine similar to yours and run two rows. I'm guessing I would need 3 drivers for 3x as many LEDs? or would I be better off getting a larger driver? I'm...

I bought a two gold rams about a week ago and yesterday I noticed one of them has something wrong with his head and nose. It looks like blood underneath the skin with the top part a dark shade of blood. Should I be worried about an infection or does it look like a injury from fighting or running...

[moderator edit] haha, ur in canada

I'm setting up a 180 gallon planted discus tank and I need to design a spray bar for the return. I'm trying to figure out what diameter PVC pipe will work best for a 6ft tank running (2) 1000gph pumps. I'm only going to use one pump at first but will eventually buy a second. Also, I need to...

Is that a 150 tall?

You only change the water in your 55G twice a year? I have to change the water in my 55G every week or it gets filthy and i'll start losing fish.. You must not have very many fish in your tank or they are super hardy to survive a PWC every 6 months! I couldn't imagine what your filter looks like...

It's really not that bad. You don't have to inhale the air, suck on it one good time and it starts the siphon without getting any water in your mouth...
