I have a marinland canister with dual bio-wheels on my 40. There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to filtration.... I have never had a problem with this setup. Even when I'm a little slack on my water changes, the water I pull is crystal clear and the levels all within normal...

that's nice looking. I did something similar with a submergable flourecent blue moon light. I burried it in the gravel and masked it from the front with plants and logs, so you can't see the bulb. It does look really cool. I put mine on dual timers so that the blue light comes on first for...

I have a 50 gal turtle tank that I currently have a Fluval 404 (340 gph) as the main filter. It does a great job keeping the water clear, even with all the crud the turtles produce. The gravel, however, tends to gunk up pretty fast and I heard that running a reverse flow filter would help...

I have a 40 gal with a brown knife, a few blood fins, cherry barbs and an algae eater (it's name escapes me at the moment, but it's long and yellow/green). Anyway, I feed the knife frozen blood worms (and consequently the other fish too) about every two days, altho I sometimes stretch it out...

yea! thank you very much

Make you a deal. Just buy me a 120 Wave front and I'll give you my 40G and the stand

well i found the canopy I was looking for, just not the light. I don't like the ones that rest flush on the canopy. I want the free standing that attach at the edges of the tank and sit about 4" off it.

yea, I couldn't imagine it being any dirtier then running a canister alone. You're just rerouting the water flow to a different location.

simple solution. Buy another tank. Give into the dark side. It's your destiny

Has anyone heard of running a reverse flow UGF? It still uses a canister filter or someother external pump, but forces water from the bottom of the gravel upward. It's supposed to give really good bio filtration with very low tank current.

I'd still call them and just ask if anyone is interested in taking them. You won't get any money out of the deal, but they will go to someone who will take care of them

I actually have 2 questions. First one is concerning what kind of bulb to get. It's a 40G Tall non planted tank. I have been using just a standard freshwater bulb, but I'm not all that pleased by the light output. I really like how my moon light brings out certain colors. Should I just...

as long as it's within 14 days I think so. I'd just call them and ask. There also might be someone working there who would take them off your hands for you.

bump...anyone?

actually.....yes the cup is rather small, but at my store the water is changed at least twice a day. So it's not nearly as bad as it looks.

I'm heading home for the holidays. I'm going to be gone for 2 weeks and won't be here to maintain my tank. I have one of those auto feeders that dumps a little bit of food every 12 hours, so feeding is not a problem... except for my Brown Knife fish, who I need to feed frozen. Because of...

I have a 40 gal tank currently with 9 blood fin tetras, 2 golden algae eaters and a loach. I just recently added an African Brown knife and so far he's doing quite well. He's my first fish that I've had to activly feed. Can't just sprinkle some flakes on the surface of the water. Anyway...

i'm using flourescent lighting and the room temp is warm, but still only about 75 degrees. I looked for a heat source, but there is no direct sunlight. Only thing I can think of is the canister filter overheating or my thermo is wrong. The temp has steadily rose through the day and is now...

The heater I have is an inline heater and it doesn't keep coming on. I've had it unplugged for a day to make sure it wasn't the problem and it better not be since it is brand new. BUt right now the temp has risen to nearly 85 degrees. Should I be trying to cool this off with ice?

My tank is experienceing what I consider unusually high water temps. It stays at a near constant 83 degrees. I am running a heater, but it's set down near 75. Should I worry about this?

well...things didn't go that well. After introducing the new gourami the other one immediatly took interest. At first he just followed her around. Looked like what dogs do when they first meet. So after about 5 min of that, he started nipping anc chasing her. The problem now was that both...

well I returned the large male and picked up a female the same size as the current male. She and another loach are sitting in my aclimation tank as we speak. Hopefully things will work out this time.

It kind of looks like stringy snot...but more of a solid sheet. Like the skin that peels off of you after a sunburn. I'm fairly certain the water is fine. I tested it right before getting the fish and it showed perfectly normal. The only issue might be chloramine, as I allowed the tank to...

I just got the first two fish for my 40. Bought a pair of Gold gourami's. One of them is larger (more mature) then the other. When I picked them out, i thought i had picked a male and a female, but when I got them home I discovered I had actually recieved 2 males. They've been in the tank...

on this note, does anyone know of a company that makes some kind of flow rate indicator that you can plumb into the tubing? Even a simple pressure guage with the right fittings would do the trick if it were sensitive enough. It'd be pretty easy to fab up with a length of PVC, if you could find...
