sounds like a failing magnetic ballast

i usually go to jacks at millrun, it being 5 minutes away and all or aquarium adventures. earlier this week i visited most of the aquarium stores i know of just to see their stock. my trip: aquarium adventures => petsmart sawmill => jacks millrun => petsmart hilliard-rome => petland broad st =>...

to reduce surface turbulance to a minumum, i would recommend an internal filter like the duetto dj-50 or the fluval 1 plus.

zebra loaches eat snails and get to a maximum of 4"

well a claimed 280 gph hack off say 10% for media usage so 250 if the flow control cuts it in half 125 if you go with 10x tank capacity 12.5 gal though i would probably not use it on a tank that small more likely 20 gal at the smallest or 29 gal optimal 50 gal at most (also what the filter is...

it does look painted and it costs twice as much. EDIT: eeps i missed a page! anyway my 55s look like oafboys minus the hob :mrgreen:

you could also cut 2 pieces and have a front/back or left/right so that you could remove one piece to feed. i considered 2 panels: a 3/4 back and 1/4 front, so i could remove the front to feed, water change, etc. if i remember ill snap a pic of one of my tanks that uses eggcrate. i have the...

ive seen that but i dont want to pay $18 for each of the extra temp probes 8O

uh i feed by dropping food right through the holes in the eggcrate

(sorry these were quickly taken) eggcrate on a friends 20l in progress:

since logal was first here he gets the free advertising http://www.captiveraisedcorals.com/SL-10%20wet-dry.htm that would work for you and is not $300 if youre just looking for a sump to: - increase water volume - hide your heater and other equipment - make water changes/top offs less intrusive...

if i had a 90g i would most likely expand one of my 55g biotopes. not sure which one though. i like both the south american and asian tanks, but would most likely go with the south american. there are a wide variety of cories, tetras, plecos, and cichlids (etc) that i wouldnt mind adding to my tank.

to ease up the current with out reducing flow you could try a spraybar

then i would still recommend the pair of xp2s you can find them for about $70 + s/h also is your eco dark grey or black? currently my 10g has natural pea gravel, uncoated, with a plant backgound, that you cant really see. hopefully in the next few weeks, ill be getting a new AGA 10g black seal...

hob is not the prefered filtration method for planted tanks however if cost is an issue it is a viable solution if you keep the water level in your tank high enough, surface agitation will be kept to a minimum i would also imagine on a 90g tank you will be injecting additional co2

turnover is up to you, but it seems most people believe 6-10x tank volume is sufficient. with that in mind the unrestircted flow of rena filstars is as follows xp1 - 250gph xp2 - 300gph xp3 - 350gph expect lower actual output with media and shoot for 540-900gph i personally believe a pair of...

iirc the 16g bow is 20"

if there was anything toxic to the tank, would it not also be toxic to the child? the polyester fiber fill in stuffed animals and pillows some people use as filter floss. and im sure the toy is washable as well, so being wet shouldnt pose a problem. the water batch is fine.

are you looking for the NO bulbs? you could just get 10000k bulbs. wattage for NO: 18"-15w, 24"-20w, 36"-30w, 48"-40w

i previously had a 20l and my younger brother has a 29. i have to say 30" tanks are difficult to light properly, in so much as most bulbs/fixtures are 24" or 36". i will never own one again lol. your ge aquarays are NO 9325k bulbs and good until you decide to go reef. since i didnt see it...

check valves for the most part are reliable, however i would still drill an anti-siphon hole in your return line. a ball or gate valve will allow you to cut back the flow of the return pump. start closed and slowly open in up until the overflow cant handle it then throttle it back a bit.

if you plan on upgrading to a 55g soon, you should go ahead and get an xp3. not that much more than an xp2 and still suitable after the upgrade.
