    Have you heard of this?

    Okay I also am hearing locally from lfs that it is junk. It only moves 200gph. Replacement UV bulbs run 30 bucks and are hard to find. Water will go over safety overflow instead of through UV filter and foam filter. Protein skimmer is difficult to adjust for proper skimming. So I will be using...

    Have you heard of this?

    http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_protein_skimmers_viaaqua_multi-skimmer.asp?CartId= I was just given one of these that has the UV for free. I googled it and read that it was a piece of junk. Anyone use this before and if so what are your thoughts. Now would this work as a starter filtration...

    Scaredy Fish

    Alot of times if the room that your tank is in is really bright, say it has skylights, and you walk by, the change of light entering the tank, shadows, really freak them out. I have found that if the fish are not relatively new, still acclimating to new tank, and behave in this manner it could...

    OPEN CELL FOAM/SPONGE

    Works just like a sponge filter. You just rinse ( in tank water of course) and it will last forever. Well I don't know about forever but the pieces I've been using have been rinsed and re-used for the last year without any tears or crumbling. I am using it in two trays of one of my wet/dry and...

    nitrate sponging mbuna plant eater plants?

    I had this same problem a few years ago. I used duckweed in my sump. Made a floating type pot to keep it out of my return pump. Anyways this dropped my nitrAtes from 100ppm down to 40ppm. Also my lfs gave me store credit on all the duckweed that grew in abundance.

    Does anybody use foam?

    Wow I had forgotten that I posted this question! The reason I asked is because I have a ton of different thickness of foam/sponge and was testing the water to see if it would be advisable to barter/trade/sell it here on the proper section of AA. I use it on my fresh water tank and rinse it off...

    heater is working overtime

    If you have extra blankets they will keep your fishtanks just as warm as they keep you. I covered all my tanks last month when we had all the snow/ice and cold here in N.M.. Just so they would stay warm I covered the whole tank(s) with a blanket. Only uncovered when it was feeding time and to...
