The circ. is ok i have a small power head im using as a co2 diffuser and i have a fluval 306 canister that moves about 250 gallons an hour through one nozzle. I put my old glass tops on and the heat is rising but i really want them off. one heater goes green way below temp but then seems to come...

I cannot seem to heat one of my tanks properly. I have used heaters rated for twice the volume but either keep getting bad heaters or having the open top on my plant tank is too much for them. My house is 70 but probably dips to 65 in that room, this morning the tank was 72! Its a fluval 300...

Project is almost done.

Tank is 15 gallon. and the project is just for fun I wanted a small system just to "play" with. As far as money I have only 12 dollars for 100 bio balls tied up into it. everything was scavenged.

No thoughts? I was thinking with 2 overflows and my rio 1400 it could handle a 55?

Im in the middle of making a wet dry sump filter out of a 5 gallon tank. Its going under a retro 15 gallon steel and glass aquarium with slate bottom. anyway i know the filter is enough I was just wondering how large a tank do you think a 5 gallon support?

I like this light. no problems at all. On the large unit it has 2 seperate transformers so you can run just 2 bulbs at a time for a different look.

Seems fine for my Bamboo shrimp and my glass shrimp.

I dont use much of it yet. I have been testing it out on one sword and a large sprite. I will start using it on more plants

"It's best to keep nitrates between 10-20ppm in a planted tank. Do you add any ferts that contain nitrogen to raise your nitrates?" I add flourish and leaf zone and a small amount of osmacote under my rooted. So no I guess no nitrogen ferts. I was hoping to balance it naturaly but I dont think...

It should be down today I was gardening that day so had a lot of stuff escape the flourite.

No i started with 6 tetras and some filter media from another tank about 6 months ago it had a quick cycle with a very low spike but its up and going with about 35 inches of bioload. I havent had to change water in awhile but feel odd not doing it.

My nitrates stay under 5.0 on my medium to heavy planted tank. Nitrite o and Ammonia was under .25. Should i reduce water changes add fish? Im not used to plants eating all the Nitrates. It seems to be a good problem to have!

This sounds odd but I have a red tail that absolutely hates 1! fish. A poor little ram. I have 3 but it hunts down just the one, even passing by the other rams til it finds it. Im thinking the stress is going to kill it.

I knew plants from that swamp of a store was going to have snails but they were such a good deal!

Thanks, Do you know much about co2 and PH? I was thinking of more cacium carbonate lava rock to keep a balance.

Wait till summer and sun dry it. Wash with bleach water first then salt water for awhile. It will take weeks and if its too thick it will have a few issues with organics.

Just chiming in to agree with the seal. Do you see the bubble or mucky foam on top of the reactor? If so it is a seal issue.
