Hello, We all know about the one inch of fish per gallon rule. My question is, does the same apply for invertebrates? I have a couple ghost shrimp, each about one inch long and I wasn't sure if the same rule applied, so I understocked the tank. But, if they aren't a big bio-load since they...

I have tried a lot of different fluorescent bulbs and non of them look good. I've tried Zoo Med Floramax, which is too red. I've tried Zoo Med Ultrasun, but that had almost no red and way too much blue. Then I tried Coralife Colormax. It wasn't great either. It was harsh and gave me...

Hello, I just bought a canister filter for my 10 gallon. It's an Eheim 2211 (made for smaller aquariums). It works well (quiet, efficient, etc), but the flow is just a little too strong for my 10 gallon. What I'm wondering is, how should I adjust the flow? Should I control the flow at the...
