and to clarify my statement earlier.... when I said put it in a container with a tube going into a difuser or other reactor system... I meant literally that... a vented opening for the pressure to escape through... it must have the ability to get out unrestricted... difuser not...

personally I'd look more toward trying to harness it like DIY CO2 in a soda bottle situations... put the dry ice in a container with a tube going from it to a difuser and w/ counter current etc... since after all it IS CO2 in solid form... then it melts and turns gaseous... this way you...

sounds like nemo.... lol... any pebbles in your filter? ;)

if you're using the pvc cement used to glue the schedule 40 and scedule 80 pvc pipe together.. comes in a metal can usually... I beleive the brand is oatey or something.... could be others too I guess... but if you look at the back of the can there will be some information about using it in...

problem with the trash can is most trash cans are not designed for.... potable water storage.... as a result they have chemicals that can leech out of the plastics into the stored water... stick with the rubbermaid brands since most of their plastic is made for water/food storage anyway and...

in my old apartment I had washer and dryer with valves that had garden hose type ends on it. I got a "Y" connector with the inline shut offs made out of brass (not those piece of junk plastic ones...) and hooked the Y on to the cold water line. Then I hooked the washer side back up to the one...

those bulbs are probably 03 actinic... special wavelength for deep water penetration for corals and stuff usually... I use one on my tank with a lot of regular spectrum wattage to "adjust the color" so it isnt as yellow.. makes it a little more whitish because of the ratio...most places...

the little blue flash thing is probably a "pre flash" for red eye reduction... MOST cameras have a menu option SOMEWHERE (read the book...) to turn off red-eye reduction or a "pre-flash" once you find that they will probably fix the spooking the fish thing... in terms of the tripod being an...

Well... if you wanted to do this you'd simply have to use a clear epoxy paint like the coat some aquarium gravel with... use aquarium grade silicone to glue it down... you could use the techniques people use for the "3d backgrounds" where they take foam sheets... apply heat to melt the foam...

I'd think for LED that they would be able to give off light in several of the required spectrum but the question really would be the sheer cost of the appropriate LED's in an evenly distributed array... since typically MOST LED are efficient at only a specific part of the spectrum and not as...

RO units/filters are what produces the RO Water that you are buying in the store. Depending on the water source your mineral content may vary. If the water is extremely high in minerals when it's filtered you may end up with higher minerals in the water as a result. The membrane typically...

not sure on the exact ends on your GE model BUT... if you go to Home Depot, Lowes, or just about any other hardware store you should be able to find the male pipe thread end for the size you have on the water system you picked up to a hose thread for a garden hose or laundry tub end. they...
