    Heater for 2.5g?

    My guess is that this would be a 15W heater without adjustment. If this is the case, the heater should self regulate to the temperature as stated on the packaging. You shouldn't have any worries about how quickly the water obtains this temperature as your temperature should not be off much to...

    Plumbing in a Fluval canister - Advice pls!

    Correct, my tank isn't yet drilled. I'm currently using the 206 with the standard over the top inflow and return on my 20 gal. I'm going to be drilling the 30gal for an in-tank overflow to sump and I don't like having things hanging in/out/on/off my tank for no reason and I'm not sure how I'd...

    Lighting Question

    I don't see a need to turn the red off unless you dislike the look that it gives your tank. The red LEDs are there for plants. To be honest, they're about the only ones that your tank is going to care about. I'd put this on the 3gal vs a 10 as this is just not enough output to matter.

    Prime! The magic concotion??

    Forgive my ignorance but I don't think you should ever read any ammonia after you've cycled unless you are constantly mini cycling. If I were you, I'd take a vial into my LFS and get them to test. Could be your test kit is screwy. I'd also get rid of the carbon. As I understand it, carbon...

    Best canister filter for a 20 long.

    I'm currently running a Fluval 206 on my 20L. I've been happy with the flow adjustability and the 3 media bins. My betta would have preferred a spraybar, but it's been solid for about 1 yr now.

    Plumbing in a Fluval canister - Advice pls!

    Greetings, I'm trying to get parts together for a weekend project to plumb my Fluval 206 canister to a 30gal I haven't yet put to use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. As I understand it: My 206 canister hoses are 5/8" ID and it flows 205gph. Anyone have any math on whether or not...

    Mystified by water parameters - Specifically Nitrite

    Thanks for the responses guys. I will be doing daily 50% PWC's until I see my nitrites subside. I am also probably overfeeding. I was initially worried that my cory's were not going to get enough to eat. I take it that they will not let themselves starve to death versus making some attempt...
